Mike Riley Refs Preston Game

Last updated : 05 December 2006 By Brian Cartlidge

Neither The Blues or The Whites have had the pleasure of the West Yorkshire based official refereeing any of their games this season.

Blues did however, have the pleasure of Mr Riley taking charge of one of their games last season as he was the referee for our 2-0 Premier League home defeat against Arsenal on 4th February this year. The now departed Emile Heskey and Chris Sutton were both booked on that occasion.

In total Mike Riley has refereed in 18 gmes so far this season in which he has handed out 67 yellow cards and 5 reds.

D Richardson and G Turner will be Mike Riley's assistants for the game at St Andrew's on Saturday afternoon.
