Axed ref Rob Styles pays penalty
Exclusive by Darren Lewis 23/04/2008

Controversial referee Rob Styles has been dropped to League Two this weekend after failing to award two penalties in favour of Manchester United against Blackburn.

Styles will run the derby between Shrewsbury and Chester - the first time this season he has refereed outside the top flight.

The Hampshire official ignored United's pleas for spot-kicks in their 1-1 draw at Blackburn when Wayne Rooney was brought down by Steven Reid, and when Michael Carrick's shot was handled by Brett Emerton.

Last month Styles, 44, stunned Man City fans at Birmingham by awarding a penalty against Sun Jihai when TV replays showed Gary McSheffrey had instigated a shoulder to shoulder collision outside the area.

Styles was also forced into an apology to Liverpool in August after wrongly awarding Chelsea a penalty at Anfield.

That decision against Sun Jihai was even worse than the penalty he gave Chelsea at Anfield. An awful, awful referee.

To be fair he is a ****e ref and should have booked atleast 5 mancs at the weekend. I wish they would demote him for good never to return
