Premier League Referee Bobby Madly Sacked

By Joshua Walters

Premier League referee, Bobby Madly, has been sacked after directing an offensive social media message at a physically disabled man.

The 32-year old referee, in a snapchat message, suggested he would be able to win a race against the disabled man on a school sports day. 

Madly has been in the Premier League since 2013, and has officiated 91 matches, with his biggest game being last season’s Community Shield final at Wembley.

The Professional Game Match Officials Limited informed the English-born referee his contract will be terminated after they saw the image.

Madly is, currently, understood to be heading to Norway, where he could continue his career if he is selected as an official of the game.

 “Bobby Madly is no longer employed by PGMOL,” the Premier League told Sky Sports News. “We understand he has decided to relocate due to a change in his personal circumstances."
