Mike Jones ruled out after non-goal in Norwich City/Cardiff City match [View all]

Mike Jones has been taken off Premier League refereeing duties this weekend after ruling out Leroy Fer’s ‘goal’ against Cardiff.

Jones will instead be fourth official for the top-of-the-table clash between Arsenal and Liverpool.

----------------------

I'm still not sure what to make of this play. Fer probably shouldn't have gone for the goal, I guess, but the referee made the whole situation worse by not making a clear call. I'm happy to see the referee get demoted for a week, and hopefully NCFC can find a way to net a few goals in the weeks to come.
