    absolutely ridiculous-he objects to the extent of being charged and then gets his way with a change of ref-diabolical</p><div class="ds-headline" id="ds-headline">Row ref replaced for Reds replay</div> <div class="ds-firstpara" id="ds-firstpara">UNDER-fire referee Michael Jones has been pulled from tonight's FA Cup third round replay between Barnsley and Southend United at Oakwell.
    </div> Ray Oliver will be the man in the middle.
    Jones was in charge of the 1-1 draw at Roots Hall on Saturday January 6 and would normally have handled the replay.
    But he was centre of controversy for allowing Barnsley's equaliser in injury time. Southend manager Steve Tilson claimed Barnsley's Michael Coulson used his hand to score.
    Tilson's remarks have led to a charge from the FA accusing him of using abusive or insulting word or behaviour.
    Referee Jones will not be the only missing man at Oakwell tonight.
    New Barnsley signings Dwayne Mattis, Adam Eckersley, Grant McCann and Kyel Reid have all been ruled out.
    McCann and Mattis are cup tied, Eckersley and Reid are ineligible. Eckersley was not registered in time. Reid was refused permission by West Ham to play in the knock-out competition while he was on loan.
    Southend have Alan McCormack back from suspension. He could replace Luke Guttridge in central midfield.
    With a possible lucrative trip to Spurs awaiting the winners tonight both Barnsley and Southend will be at full strength.
    Third-from-bottom Barnsley have not won a game since Boxing Day. Second-from- bottom, Southend are unbeaten in five.
    On Saturday they gained three points from a 1-0 triumph at Cardiff City.
    Lee Bradbury volleyed after 23 minutes to earn Southend a first win on the road in 10 months.
    Said Tilson: It's great to get a first away win but it's been coming.
    &quot;We'd not lost in our last four away games but now this result gives us that little bit of hope.&quot;
