Because of his exclusivity to the Premiership we haven't seen him at any Burnley games over the last few years and this we believe will be his first visit to Turf Moor.
This season he has taken charge of 29 games. His first this season was the World Cup game between Sweden and Moldova and his last game was at Ewood Park where Chelsea were the visitors. He was in charge of the controversial game between Derby and Manchester United recently when even Alex Ferguson admitted that Derby's last minute winner should have counted.
In these 29 game he has issued 83 yellow and 5 red cards and of those 83 yellow 34 have been issued to home team players and 49 to away team players. No change there, I wonder if we will ever find a referee who cards anywhere near as many home team players?
He started the season with a red card to Moldova's Alexandru Covalenko as they went down 6-0 in Sweden and since then there have been red cards for Chelsea's Frank Lampard in a 3-2 win at Tottenham, Rory Delap of Southampton and Dion Dublin of Aston Villa as Villa won 3-1 at Southampton and finally Stoke's Sergei Shtaniuk in a 1-0 defeat at Reading.
The Dublin red card was another howler in a season full of them from Mr. Dunn and the decision was quashed on appeal.
He has certainly courted controversy this season and hopefully he will just get things right tomorrow for this important game.
