Referee Brown Banned By Boss

Mark Brown, the referee who did the Bulls no favours last Saturday, has been banned for three weeks by referee boss Mike Riley following remarks he put on Twitter.

According to the Sun it is believed he made a gag about Steven Gerrard and Liverpool's unlikely chance of winning honours this season. The gag was later removed.

Yorkshireman Brown is in his debut season as a National List referee and took charge of the game at Edgar Street last Saturday when many Bulls supporters thought he was 'conned' by Burton striker Calvin Zola into getting Bulls captain Janos Kovacs sent off.

An insider said: "Riley is taking drastic action as there are many ways for referees' integrity to be called into question.

"If Babel posts a picture of Webb in a Man U shirt, then we can't have officials making comments and jokes about players."

Brown has been in the headlines before as on his profile he mentioned someone who didn't help him with his career.

Also my ex-wife for moving out so I could concentrate on my football and not have to listen to her moaning all day and night!
