Busby in charge of Swans visit — Referee Wednesday, 18th Jan 2023 14:48 by Clive Whittingham John Busby gets a second QPR career appointment, and first trip to Loftus Road, when he takes charge of the R’s against Swansea this weekend. Referee >>> John Busby (Oxfordshire), stood in for Keith Stroud in our away loss at Coventry before the World Cup break, his first ever QPR appointment. Assistants >>> Mark Pottage (Dorset) and Andrew Dallison (Nottinghamshire) Fourth official >>> Paul Howard (London) HistoryCoventry 2 QPR 0, Saturday November 12, 2022, Championship Coventry: Wilson 7; Doyle 7, McFadzean 8, Panzo 7; Eccles 6, Hamer 8, Sheaf 7, Bidwell 6; O’Hare 8, Allen 7; Gyokeres 9 Subs not used: Moore, Kelly, Walker, Kane, Tavares, Burroughs, Palmer Goals: Gyokeres 11 (assisted Allen), 78 (assisted O’Hare) Bookings: Doyle 27 (foul), McFadzean 86 (foul) QPR: Dieng 6; Laird 5, Dunne 6, Dickie 6, Clarke-Salter 4 (Kakay 80, -); Field 6, Richards 5 (Adomah 87, -), Dozzell 4; Chair 5 (Armstrong 83, -), Willock 5 (Thomas 87, -), Dykes 5 (Shodipo 83, -) Subs not used: Archer, Trävelmän Bookings: Field 59 (foul), Chair 76 (foul) Referee — John Busby (Oxfordshire) 6 Gave some bits and pieces of nonsense — Mide Shodipo looked to have been fouled on the corner of the box late on but somehow got penalised himself; earlier having bought a spurious head injury claim after a QPR corner and stopped the play he returned the ball to Coventry even though Rangers had it in their possession 40 yards out from goal at the time — but overall not too bad and a world away from the pillock who was meant to be in charge of this one.
StatsSo far this season 76 yellows and three reds from 19 appointments, including the four yellows as a stand in at Coventry 2-0 QPR. This is his fourth Swansea appointment of the campaign already, following defeats at home to Luton (2-0) and away to Preston (1-0) and a 4-0 home thumping of Watford as recently as December 30. Last season he booked 120 and sent four off across 33 games — not far shy of 10% of those bookings came in one game between Barnsley and Cardiff where he booked 10 players. He took charge of Swansea’s 0-0 draw at home to Millwall.
