FA Cup: Andre Marriner to referee semi-final between Hull and Sheffield Unitedf 
Referee Andre Marriner will take charge of this month's FA Cup semi-final between Hull and Sheffield United in another show of faith following his recent high-profile blunder. Marriner hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons when he mistakenly sent off Arsenal's Kieran Gibbs during the Gunners'
6-0 Premier League defeat by Chelsea for a handball that had been committed by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Neither ended up serving a suspension, with Gibbs' red card transferred to his team-mate,
who won an appeal when it was ruled he had not denied a goal-scoring opportunity because the shot he handled was going wide.
Marriner received a show of support when, instead of being dropped for last weekend's fixtures, he refereed Southampton's 4-0 victory over Newcastle.
He has not been given a game this weekend -
he will be the fourth official at Cardiff v Crystal Palace - but on April 13 he will take charge of the cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium.
Michael Oliver has been appointed referee for the previous day's semi-final between Arsenal and holders Wigan. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/9244735/fa-cup-andre-marriner-to-referee-semi-final-between-hull-and-sheffield-united/ [ 此帖被羅力亞在2014-04-02 17:15重新編輯 ]
