It was his fourth Burnley game, but the only one since the introduction of our RATE THE REF feature and he currently sits bottom of that table with a rating of 20.11 out of 100 from that particular game.
Now in his ninth season as a Football League referee he still features more often in the two lower divisions although this, today, will be his ninth Championship game of the season.
He's a largely undemonstrative referee but in terms of cards he does have his moments. However, look at his record he had a run of three consecutive games earlier in the season without a single card.
His total of cards in 27 games is 70 yellow cards and 4 red cards. Of those 70 yellow cards, 32 have gone to home team players and 38 to away team players. All four of his red cards have been in the two divisions lower and he hasn't sent off a player at this level since Ipswich's Owen Garvan over four years ago.
He has, in previous Burnley games, twice sent players off. John McGreal was red carded at Wolves in the 2004/05 season and Wayne Thomas saw red in the League Cup defeat against Hartlepool in 2006/07.
Boyeson's last game was Millwall's 4-0 win against Preston two days ago. In that game there were four yellow cards. Millwall's Alan Dunne was the only home player carded and he followed Preston's Eddie Johnson, Ian Ashbee and Iain Turner.
The assistant referees this afternoon are Gary Beswick (County Durham) and Colin Harwood (Manchester) and the fourth official is Paul Graham (also Manchester).
