Rob Styles vs Liverpool
Football Referee Rob Styles has apologised to Liverpool after admitting he was wrong to award a penalty to Chelsea during the 1-1 draw at Anfield on the weekend.
The match official has accepted he made a mistake in penalising Steve Finnan and as a result he will not be given a match to referee this weekend.
Styles said: “All referees enter into matches hoping not to make mistakes but understanding that they may happen, what none of us want is for any mistake to potentially affect the result of the match.
“Yesterday, in mistakenly awarding a penalty, I accept that I may have affected the result of the match and for that I apologise.”
It’s safe to say that Liverpool aren’t Rob Styles fans.
Here’s a link to the BBC’s “Referee File” on Rob Styles showing that after 2 games officiated he’s handed out an average of 6 card per game…
