The Bastard in Black this week is Robert Madley, one half of the notorious Madley brothers from Wakefield (bit too close to Leeds for my liking). He was promoted to the PL list of referees last season, is a FIFA 5th official and is Referee Development Officer for the West Riding of Yorkshire.
Our previous record with this bastard is:
Oct 13 - Barnsley 1-1 Wednesday - 3Y
.......and that is it.
He has a record for being rather liberal with his cards, particularly his red one. In his first PL match in April 2013, he sent off three players in the Southampton v West Brom match.
It has been reported that he watched Leeds Utd as a boy and this will be his first time refereeing them so will be interesting to see if this affects his judgement.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
