League Cup Referee Announced

[BlueLion. 21,491]

The Football League has announced that our Carling Cup final date with Tottenham Hotspur on February 24 will be refereed by Mark Halsey.

Halsey, from Lancashire, refereed our Community Shield match with Manchester United back in August, as well as our trips to Middlesbrough and Fulham in this season's Premier League.

In 26 games this season, he has handed out 62 yellow cards and three red.

Halsey will be assisted by Andrew Garratt and Martin Yerby, while the fourth official will be Peter Walton of Northamptonshire.

Dont really remember what he was like, which is a good thing really as I normally remember the poor referee's.

well all the refs are shit anyway so that doesnt matter too much. Halsey isnt one of the worst few, he'll be fine i think.

He has made two classic errors involving Chelsea:

- Sending Hasselbaink off at White Hart Lane for something Melchiot did.

- Sending Carlo off for jumpig for the ball against Middlesbrough. (Tri-Blues picture)
