Refereeing career

Early career

Marriner began refereeing in 1992, by chance when he was asked to cover for a referee who did not turn up for a local match,

Football League assistant referee in 2000.[1]

He was appointed to the Football League list of referees in 2003, and he was given his first Premier League appointment on 13 November 2004, a 4–0 home win by Charlton Athletic over Norwich City.[3]

Professional career

Marriner was promoted to the Select Group of professional referees in 2005.[4] In the same year, he refereed the FA Youth Cup final between Southampton and Ipswich Town, with the latter winning 3–2.[5]

He was appointed

In December 2008 it was announced that Marriner, at the age of 37 and along with 26-year-old

, also in Saint-Lô.

He was appointed to the

2010 Football League Championship play-off final between Blackpool and Cardiff City at Wembley Stadium
. Blackpool won the match 3–2, all five goals having been scored in the first half, securing the club's return to the Premier League for the first time since 1970. Marriner did not issue any cards during the match.

In a fixture between Arsenal and Liverpool in April 2011, Marriner notably awarded the latest-ever penalty kick in the history of the Premier League. The match was goalless until Marriner awarded Arsenal a penalty in the seventh minute of second-half stoppage time, and four minutes later awarded a second penalty to Liverpool. Both were converted, the latter in the 102nd minute which also became the League's latest-ever goal.[7]

In May 2013 he refereed the

In March 2014, during Chelsea's 6–0 win over Arsenal, Marriner wrongly sent off Kieran Gibbs in the 15th minute, for a deliberate handball actually committed by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.[10]

Marriner retired at the end of the 2022–23 season after a 23-year career.[11]
