This is Mr Pawson's 2nd season in charge of FL games. He's managed 45 games so far and brandished 120 yellow and 7 reds in that time (avg per game of 2.6 yellow and 0.15 reds).

Never had a Reading game before and Saturday will only be his 4th time in charge of a Championship game.

How many times have we had rookie Championship referees this season?

[marettes]

I've got kids at school older than him!

[Maquisard]

He's not even old enough to shave FFS.

Fantastic, another rookie ref!

Bottled the big decision when Gunnar got crocked, and disallowed a perfectly good goal because the keeper didn't catch the ball, then gave soft free kicks against us all game.

Homer.
