We've got Darren Deadman refereeing the game on Saturday. We had him at Derby away which we won, but only 1 of his last 10 games have been won by the away side. I wouldn't say he was card happy, because he had a 15 game run from August to November without giving a red card, but he has still managed to give out 14 red cards in the other 29 games he's reffed this season, along with 190 yellow cards. At least we're not going into the game with key players like Rosenior and McKenna sitting one booking away from a suspension. For those of you recognising the name, he's the one that was suspended after he refused to referee a friendly at Luton because the sides wanted to name/use too many subs http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/Disciplinary/NewsAndFeatures/2006/DeadmanSuspended and a few weeks ago got this review from Phil Parkinson: http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/9587473.Bradford_City_slip_up_as_Fagan_sees_red/ To be fair, he's also the ref who chose not to book Billy Sharp when he had the message on his shirt for his kid, so he's not totally clueless. On Monday we've got Andy Woolmer. Last time we had him was the draw against Palace last season. Cards shouldn't be an issue with him, he's worse for yellows than Deadman but by the time we play M'boro the accumulaton of yellows is going to be irrelevent and he hardly ever gives out red cards.
