Rob Styles Refs Man City Game

Last updated : 26 March 2008 By Brian Cartlidge
Blues have already had the pleasure of the Hampshire-based official taking charge of three of their games so far this season and all have ended in defeat!

The last time Rob Styles took charge of a Blues game was in our 1-0 home defeat against Chelsea on 19th January. Fabrice Muamba was the only Blues player booked on that occasion.

Prior to the Chelsea defeat, Rob Styles was the man in the middle for our game against Newcastle on 8th December. Seb Larssson and Medhi Nafti were both booked during the 2-1 defeat at St James Park.

He had also taken charge of our 2-0 away defeat against Middlesbrough on 1st September. Olivier Kapo, Medhi Nafti and Fabrice Muamba all going into the book at The Riverside.

In total Rob Styles has taken charge of 32 games so far this season in which he has handed out 113 yellow cards and 14 reds.

M Murphy and M Tingey will bne Rob Styles' assistants for the game at St Andrews on Saturday afternoon.
