    What happens to English refs who don't tow the United line ...

    Axed ref Rob 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.
    Says it all really.

    Sounds like punishment for a catelogue of errors more than anything else really

    I think it was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Ourely coincidental that the mistakes were in a Man U match.

    If you highlighted the right part of the article, it makes much more sense:

    Styles makes no sense, gives stupid penalties and yet does not give certain ones.
