Phil Dowd is the ref for this Sunday's match at White Hart Lane, here is a breakdown of his record with Liverpool. He has refereed 57 matches featuring Liverpool Football Club in all competitions. In those matches, LFC is 21-12-14 and have accumulated 61 cards, 57 yellows, 2 yellow-reds and 1 straight red. Our opponents have received 88 yellows, 1 yellow-red, and 2 straight reds.
Dowd has awarded 5 penalties to Liverpool all-time, 4 at Anfield and 1 on the road (funny enough coming in a loss at White Hart Lane). Three of those came against Crystal Palace in 2004 with Milan Baros converting two. The Czech striker had the third waved off, but he still managed a hat-trick in the 3-2 win at Anfield.
Away from Anfield, LFC is 6-4-10 under the disciplinary guidance of Mr. Dowd in all competitions, receiving 37 yellows, 1 yellow-red, and 1 straight red. Their opponents have accumulated 40 cards, all yellow.
In Premier League play, Liverpool is 17-12-10 with Dowd, but only 4-6-9 away from Anfield. They have received 33 cards in visiting matches (31 y, 1 y-r, 1 r) while their home opponents have been booked 29 times, all yellow.
Twice Dowd has mediated matches between Spurs and LFC at White Hart Lane, both times Tottenham won. The first time in January 2008, a heart-breaking affair that would wind up costing Liverpool a chance at the title that season. Up 1-0 through two-thirds of the match, Jamie Carragher headed in an own goal against the run of play and in the 91st minute, a shambolic defensive display allowed Pavlyuchenko to score the winner.
The second match occurred November 2012, also resulting in a 2-1 Spurs win. The north London club went up 2-0 in the opening 16 minutes with goals from Aaron Lennon and Gareth Bale, never looking back. The only 'goal' Liverpool could manage was a Bale own goal in the 72nd minute.
Dowd has over seen some other significant matches including Brendan Rodgers' EPL debut as LFC manager. In a controversial affair at the Hawthorns, Dowd awarded West Brom two ridiculous penalties and handed five cards to Liverpool players including a laughable straight red to Daniel Agger. Another match he refereed was our 1-2 FA Cup final loss to Chelsea in May 2012.
