Second game of the season for referee Moss

Last updated : 05 December 2014 By Tony Scholes

Moss hasn't been outside of the Premier League this season. He's already refereed ten games with everyone in the top division.

As you would expect with this referee, there have been more yellow cards for away team players than home team players. In the ten games to date he's yellow carded 38 players; only 10 have gone to home team players with 28 to away team players.

There have also been four red cards and surprisingly two of them have gone to home players and two to away players. The last of the four he sent off was Tottenham's Federico Fazio in their 4-1 defeat against Man City at the Etihad.

Over the years he's sent two Burnley players off. The first was Richard Eckersley at Hartlepool in 2009 for two yellows. I thought that was harsh but the red card for Marvin Bartley at Forest was a shocker and owed much to Little Billy and his players pressuring him into sending off the Burnley midfielder.

In his only other Burnley away game, prior to West Brom, was at Middlesbrough in 2010 and that was as good a homer style refereeing performance as you are likely to see.

In fairness, his performance at West Brom in September was fine. We certainly couldn't point any fingers at him for the result, and hopefully he'll referee as well tomorrow.

Jon Moss is currently in 16th place in RATE THE REF with  rating of 56.81 out of 100.

The assistant referees are Simon Long (Cornwall) and D Eaton (Gloucestershire). The fourth official is Chris Foy (St. Helens) for the second time this week having carried out the same duties in Tuesday's home game against Newcastle.
