Meet The Ref - Tranmere Rovers
Matthew Phillips introduces us to the man in the middle for Tuesday's clash with Tranmere Rovers
Tuesday’s referee is Jarnail Singh from Middlesex; he became a Football League referee in 2004 and will referee his third game involving Swansea this season, we won both of those – a 2-0 over Walsall in the League Cup and a 1-0 over Brighton in the Paint Trophy.
So far this season he averages around 3 yellow cards per game and has only sent off 2 players, Jarnail Singh has a reputation of being favourable to the home team, but we have also won 5 of the 6 matches he has taken charge of – so the omens are good.
