Ref Rules
Does a rule exist where a ref can't officiate a game if he is declared to be from the same county as one of the teams playing?
I always thought there was such a rule and was therefore surprised to see Andy D'Urso (Essex) taking charge of Southampton vs Colchester on Wednesday

Didnt Jeff Winter (stockton) take charge of Boro v Newcastle before?

well surely if a referee from essex officiated in a match involving a team from essex then there is no such rule?

Can't remember who it was, possibly Rob Styles, but a ref from Waterlooville has refereed a Pompey match before.

I know that Mark Clattenberg isn't allowed to referee Newcastle matches. I think it's a case of actually supporting the team during your lifetime that may have an influence although not totally sure.

Referees have to declare any affiliations when they register - who they support and suchlike. They then won't be given games involving those sides. Being local doesn't make any difference.

Can't referee the senior team from the place you live in (eg Living in Leicester, can't referee LCFC)
