The Football Association have now announced the Match Day officials that will take charge of the game against Ipswich Town this midweek.
Pompey host Ipswich Town on Tuesday January 19 for the FA Cup Third Round replay at Fratton Park and the match carries a 7.45pm kick off.
Referee: Andy Woolmer
Linesmen: Nigel Lugg and Ronald Ganfield
Fourth Official: Lee Swabey
Match Day referee Woolmer (Northamptonshire) has officiated one Pompey game this season – the one all draw with Stevenage in October. In that game he showed one yellow card, to the opposition.
He has however already taken in 22 other matches so far in 2015-16 and in those games, across all competitions and Football divisions, he has handed out a total of 71 yellow cards and one red card.
He was most card happy in the match between Boreham Wood and Northwick in the FA Cup on November 16 with a total of seven yellows shown. Bury and Rochdale in October saw six yellows, as did the game between Millwall and Coventry City back in August. Gillingham v Burton in December saw five yellows and one red.
Let’s hope it’s not another repeat and more of our players edge closer to automatic bans.
PLAY UP POMPEY!
