Date Result Comments
28/12/1997 Queens Park Rangers 1 Reading 1 Sent off Carl Asaba for what appeared to be the crime of "being punched"
13/4/1998 Reading 0 Middlesbrough 1  
16/1/1999 Reading 0 Bristol Rovers 6 Not the ref's fault this time!
29/1/2000 Reading 2 Colchester United 0  
2/12/2000 Reading 3 Cambridge United 0  
26/8/2001 Queens Park Rangers 0 Reading 0 Did not award Reading a penalty after a fairly clear trip on Nicky Forster. Disallowed a Reading goal direct from a free-kick for offside (on the advice of a linesman).
26/8/2001 Swindon Town 0 Reading 0 Standard clueless perfomance. Sent off Sammy Igoe (correctly) plus two Swindon Town players.

Other comments:

There are many clubs where the fans rate Barry Knight as the worst referee in the game. One set of fans even have "Barry Knight Watch" where they keep an eye on games he referees for other clubs, and note the mistakes that he makes in those. For him to be so widely despised clearly shows that he is extremely bad.
