Lee Probert (Gloucestershire) Mr Probert became a football league referee in 2003. All the Mansfield fans (Stagmad especially) will remember this referee as in his 3rd ever League game he sent off 2 Mansfield players against the Swans as we cruised to a 4-1 victory. Lee Probert also refereed the first League game at the White Rock - against Tranmere. He gave two dodgy penalties for both teams - both were saved. Stats so far this season: 27 Games, 102 Yellows, 3 Reds. Games refereed vs Swansea: Vs Mansfield (home) 03/04 Won 4-1 Vs Cambridge (home) 04/05 Won 3-0 Vs Tranmere (home) 05/06 Won 1-0 What to read next:Just when we thought we’d turned the corner with that win at Boro, we slipped back into the desperate form of the post-international break period, losing heavily to Queens Park Rangers in this critical game.

This week’s frustration-fest was at the hands of Blackburn Rovers. Leeds United 0 - 1 Blackburn Rovers - Player Ratings and Reports
If you saw the match, please give us your player ratings and a mini match report. The club released the annual accounts for the 2022/3 season this week, and despite the headline figure of an overall loss of £33.7 million, we’re not in danger of any points deduction for now. But the accumulated losses mean that player sales will be inevitable in the summer if we remain in the Championship. Stuart Dallas battled hard for two years to return to the game after his serious injury, but has now had to accept that he can no longer get back to the level of fitness needed to play the game at the top level. Club Chairman Paraag Marathe led the tributes, and the player has sent an emotional open letter to all the Leeds United fans. |
