Two of the three officials at this evening's World Cup Final in South Africa have officiated games involving Hereford United.
Howard Webb, as far as is known, hasn't refereed at Edgar Street but did take charge of an away game at Scarborough on Dec 18 1999 which the Bulls lost 3-0.
Michael Mullarkey has been the man in black on several occassions whilst the Bulls were in the Conference. One particular game on November 15 2003 was at Edgar Street against Margate in which he needed his notebook eight times just for cards.
Che Stadhart surged towards the Hereford goal and Mkandawire attempted to tackle. He appeared to get to the ball, but the referee had other ideas, sending off the on-loan centre back and, after some deliberation, giving a free-kick.
By the end of the game Mullarkey had also booked six Margate players including Sam Sodje who was sent off for a second offence.
Margate manager Chris Kinnear, the Margate boss, told BBC Radio Kent that the referee was a disgrace after the defeat at Hereford United.
"All of a sudden every time there was a tackle it was a booking. It was quite embarrassing," he said.
"Every time we went near them they fell over. The players were frightened to tackle because they were wary of being sent off but there were no injuries. Not one of their players had to be treated for long and they seemed to jump up and run on after every booking."
