Saturday 01 March 2014, KC Stadium, Kick off 15:00. Referee: Kevin Friend. Assistant Referee's: J Flynn & A Garratt. Fourth Official: Howard Webb.
He was the referee at Watford in the play off semi final first leg in 2008. He disallowed a perfectly good goal by Danny ****tu when it was 0-0, things could have turned out so differently for us.
Time for my usual 'referee history' post... 2013/14: Hull 1-0 West Ham Middlesbrough 0-2 Hull (FA Cup) 2010/11: Hull 0-1 Sheff Utd Leeds 2-2 Hull 2007/08: Blackpool 2-1 Hull Watford 0-2 Hull (Playoff semi final) 2006/07: Cardiff 0-1 Hull 2005/06: Luton 2-3 Hull Watford 0-0 Hull 2003/04: Hull 3-2 Southend
A lot of memorable games there for various reasons. The losses to Blackpool and Sheff Utd were both miserable, with former players Burgess and Yeates getting the winning goal in each. The Watford 0-0 in 2006 was the first time I heard the 'Right side, left side' chant. Ashbee was injured and was sat in the stand with us. I remember someone trying to fit it into a song that we had Ashbee on the right side but I can't for the life of me remember the tune he went with.
