Two weeks off for Palace v City blunder ref

UK referees’ chief Keith Hackett has revealed it is likely to be “a couple of weeks” before Rob Shoebridge takes charge of another match after his blunder during the Coca Cola Championship match between Crystal Palace and Bristol City.

Shoebridge paid the price for his failure to award Palace a goal in the game at Ashton Gate on Saturday as tomorrow’s league clash between Plymouth and Cardiff at Home Park was taken from him.
