Of those games, only one has been in the Championship – the game between Middlesbrough and Barnsley in which he showed two yellow cards. Last season Mr Boyeson took chartge of thirty-seven games, showing ninety-eight yellow cards and eleven reds – almost one every three games. Ten of those were in the Championship, and in those he showed twenty-six yellows and two reds. A quick scan through google would indicate that various managers have found Mr Boyeson’s decisions a little hasty and maybe a little controversial.

Last Blues Game Refereed

Mr Boyeson was in charge of the re-arranged game at Oakwell between Barnsley and Birmingham last season which finished 3-1 to the Blues. In that game he showed four yellow cards – to Jonathan Spector and Jordon Mutch of Blues, and David Cotterill and Jim McNulty of Barnsley. He’s not mentioned in Tatt’s match report but Boyeson drew considerable ire for the late cancellation of the original fixture.

Last Championship Game Refereed
