The Men In Black: Reading v Forest

Premiership referee Mr. Lee Probert from sunny Gloucestershire, gets the gig for the game at the Madejski Stadium today, between Reading and Forest.

Mr. Probert had the privilege of refereeing 3 games involving the Reds’ last season, all away from home. They were the 1-1 draw at ‘Boro, that superb 3-1 win over West Brom and the less impressive 3-0 defeat to Fester. He took charge of 33 games last season and dished out a whopping 119 yellow cards and 7 red.

He will be ably assisted on the lines by Mr. D. C. Richards and Mr. P. Thompson. The 4th official will be Mr. G. Horwood.
