Unlucky Ref for the Everton game

last updated Saturday 11th March 2006, 7:45 AM

Uriah Rennie - Sheffield
Ref RennieRennie wasn't the most popular of characters when he made his debut in the Premiership League back in the 1999/00 season. His tendency to dish out cards and come up with unlikely decisions had some managers riled to say the least. The Authorities seemed to agree as well as Mr Rennie was demoted to the Nationwide for a season.

But now the 45-year-old community liaison manager is back into the fold. His return brought a swift intake of breath from some managers, but Rennie performed to such a good standard in the Football League in his year out that the Premiership League just had to include him in their list. Rennie is now also a recognised FIFA official and is regarded as one of the fittest refs on the list.

The Everton game will be the fourth time Rennie has reffed a Fulham game this year and he is not very lucky for us. He has officiated in 6 Premiership games involving Fulham and The Cottagers have won 1 and lost 5. As far as cards are concerned, in those 6 games, he has only given 5 to Fulham players with the only link being that 4 are to defenders.

Referee Stats - 2005/2006

Ref Rennie has covered a reasonable number of games this season and is keeping his head below the parapet with average figures for whistling and below average figures forcards and penalty decisions. It seems his demotion to the Football League has cured his desire to yellow card anything that moved.
