Busy ref

[NottsYellow]

According to The Daily Telegraph, Mr P Tierney is ref for Man City v Newcastle, today KO 5.30pm then he is also ref for Southampton v Spurs, tomorrow at 4.00pm.
Assuming this is not a typo, then this is bonkers to expect someone to ref two premiership games within 23 hours and drive 200 miles.
