On 25th October 2015, Madley took charge of the Sunderland v Newcastle derby. Completely out of his depth he made two extraordinary decisions that changed the course of the game. Firstly failing to give a penalty for an obvious foul by Cattermole on Wijnaldum and then sending off Colocinni for a very soft challenge on Fletcher. He is expected to be refereeing in the Wakefield and District League again next week. |

Robert "Bobby" Madley (born 6 October 1985) is an English professional football referee who was promoted in 2013 to the list of Select Group Referees who officiate primarily in the Premier League. He has officiated in the Football League as a referee since 2010 and is one of the youngest officials to progress to the top-flight of English football. Madley is one of the referee development officers for the West Riding County Football Association.[1] He has also been a fifth official for FIFA since 2012. His older brother, Andrew Madley, is a Football League referee.[2]
Career
In his early career, from 2001, Madley refereed in the Wakefield and District League and then the West Yorkshire Association Football League. In 2010 he joined the National List of referees who officiate in the Football League.
In 2012 Madley was added to the FIFA fifth officials' list.
In April 2013 he took charge of his first Premier League fixture, between Southampton and West Bromwich Albion at St Mary's Stadium.[3] Madley sent off three players during the game, one from each team for violent conduct, and later a second Southampton player for serious foul play.[4] "All three red cards were correct," the West Brom manager Steve Clarke said after the game, which his team won 3-0.[5]
