The last time Mr Madley refed Fulham was earlier this season in November 2020 when we suffered a 2-3 home defeat by Everton. He booked two players both Fulham players, Bobby De Cordova-Reid for dissent and Antonee Robinson for a foul.
Last season, 2019/2020, Mr Madley bossed a Fulham game in February 2020 when we drew 1-1 away at Millwall. Millwall's goal was clearly offside but Mr Madley granted it anyway. He booked three players, two from Fulham, Tom Cairney and Harry Arter both for fouls

He booked four Fulham players Piazon(45,f), McDonald (72,f), Martin (83,f), Madl (90,f) and no Aston Villa players dispite Villa players fouling Fulham players 15 times while Fulham players fouled Villa players 11 times.
