Harrington has been busy giving cards out in his 7 games.

But him reffing this game does not stack up right, just over 30 miles between Sunderland & Cleveland area.

Yes but it’s nearer North Yorkshire &Teeside who don’t like Mackems so wouldn’t worry too much but then again he could be a Middlesbrough fan. XD

Two games in four days against two North East clubs where the officials come from around the area, never known it.

Cleveland is Boro country so I suppose it's possible Tony Harrington is a Boro fan, very interesting indeed.

Works 3 ways with the Referee Tony Harrington from Cleveland

If the Millers win, Sunderland fans will say Harrington is a Boro fan, so sided with us.

If Sunderland win, Millers fans will say Harrington lives local to Sunderland, so sided with them.

Best Harrington can hope for is a Draw ;D
