Bobby Madley

[aguero93:20]

He's not the first referee to suddenly give up, since there is no VAR this season, there's no reason right now to quit, I'm thinking more that someone has proven some wrong doing, and he's had no choice. If rumours are true, we have some form with this sort of thing, and he's f**ked us over a couple of times.

I doubt at 32, as a referee, he's earned enough to retire early.

Then somebody has gone to the effort of making a dossier on him. Good riddance.

This is why giving the Championship playoffs to Premier League referees is stupid, to put it mildly. I assume with the amount of PL refs to quit that the Championship ones are to bridge the gap now?

I remember him sending Walker off first home game last season v Everton, then the last minute penalty for Leicester in the League cup away last season.

He is from the Town I'm from, lass I know knows him and his brother well. She just told me he was always really strange and obsessed with that Jack Russell lol

Only the ones that do what Riley tells them to.

If it's true. I'm just glad it's not Sterling. Goodnight.

The 32-year-old was on the Fifa list and one of those whom the Premier League had hoped would become one of Europe’s leading referees and the circumstances around his departure are still unclear. It is understood that it could be linked to a video on social media although that could not be confirmed.

Interesting. I suspect this might not be the end of the story.

Telegraph says he's quit due to personal circumstance.

Twitter believes there's a video of him and something to do with a dog. I hope that's not a euphemism.

The internet is a strange place.

However, last season Madley was awful - he was barely getting any matches by the end of the season. I suspect something happened that caused his judgement and performance level to drop off a cliff.

I really don't understand why they left that bit in about a social media video rumour.
While we've all had a bit of a laugh with it, it seems bizarre that a newspaper would leave something so odd like that in, for people to create rumours about it.
