'No goal' ref taken off officiating Cardiff City tomorrow

Ref Rob Shoebridge - at the centre of controversy over the weekend for failing to spot an obvious and perfectly good Crystal Palace goal at Bristol City - has been 'punished' with a fortnight's rest and removed from being in charge of Cardiff's encounter at Plymouth Argyle tomorrow night.

In an extraordinary incident, Palace scored with a shot a couple of yards inside goal but which rebounded from the back of the net. Palace players celebrated, Bristol's held an inquest as they headed back to halfway for a restart and their fans had heads in hands but Shoebridge and his linesmen failed to notice the ball had gone in.
