English ref axed

REFEREE Keith Stroud has been removed from his scheduled fixture this weekend after a bizarre penalty blunder at Newcastle United. Stroud will not officiate Gillingham’s third tier clash with Millwall on Saturday.

The 47-year-old disallowed Matt Ritchie’s successful first-half penalty for Newcastle against Burton and awarded the visitors an indirect free-kick rather than ruling the spot-kick be retaken after Newcastle’s Dwight Gayle encroached. Game rules indicated Newcastle should have been allowed a second chance.
