'''Alan G. Wiley''' (born 27 May 1960<ref name="wileydetail">[http://www.football-league.premiumtv.co.uk/page/RefereeProfilesDetail/0,,10794~628215,00.html Birthdate confirmation and profile]: [[the Football League|Football League]] Official website.</ref>) is an [[England|English]] [[football (soccer)|football]] [[Referee (association football)|referee]] in the [[FA Premier League]], and he is based in [[Burntwood]], [[Staffordshire]].

==Career==
Wiley first took up the whistle in 1981{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}}, then officiated in the [[West Midlands (Regional) League]] until 1991, when he became an [[assistant referee]] on [[the Football League]] List. In 1994, he was promoted to the FA Premier League List of assistant referees, and a year later progressed to the Football League referees' List.

In 1998, Wiley refereed the [[FA Women's Cup]] [[Final (competition)|Final]], when [[Arsenal L.F.C.|Arsenal]] beat [[Croydon L.F.C.|Croydon]] 3-2.<ref>[http://www.thefa.com/Womens/TheFAWomensCup/History/Postings/2003/11/10050.htm 1998 Women's Cup Final]: [[the Football Association|FA.com]] website.</ref> Wiley made the step up to full Premier League referee in 1999, taking charge of his first match on 11 August 1999 at [[The Dell (Southampton)|The Dell]] between [[Southampton F.C.|Southampton]] and [[Leeds United A.F.C.|Leeds United]], which the away side won 3-0.<ref>[http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=264772 First Premiership match], Southampton v. Leeds, 1999: [[soccerbase]].com website.</ref> In the year 2000, he was [[fourth official]] for the [[FA Cup Final 2000|FA Cup Final]] at [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley]], where [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] defeated [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]] by 1 goal to nil, courtesy of a [[Roberto Di Matteo]] goal after 73 minutes.<ref>[http://www.premierleague.com/fapl.rac?command=setSelectedId&nextPage=enRefereesProfile&id=2896&type=com.fapl.website.stories.SimpleStories&categoryCode=Referees Fourth official] for the 2000 [[FA Cup Final 2000|FA Cup Final]]: [[Premier League|Premier League website]].</ref>

He has subsequently been given the honour of refereeing two [[Football League Cup]] [[semi-final]]s (2003 and 2006), but his first prestige men's game as man-in-the-middle was the [[Community Shield]] match at the [[Millennium Stadium]], [[Cardiff]], between [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] and [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] on 11 August 2002. The [[London]] side ran out 1-0 winners, thanks to a [[Gilberto Silva]] goal in the second half.<ref name="wileydetail" />

Wiley was the referee for the [[2005-06 in English football|2005-06]] [[Football League Cup|Carling Cup]] final between [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] and [[Wigan Athletic F.C.|Wigan Athletic]], also at the Millennium Stadium - United winning 4-0.<ref>[http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=481357 2005-06 Carling Cup Final]: soccerbase.com website.</ref>

He then took charge of the [[FA Cup Final 2006|FA Cup Final]] on 13 May 2006 when Liverpool played [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]], at the same venue. [[Mike Dean (referee)|Mike Dean]] was originally appointed to referee the game but [[the Football Association]] took the unusual step of replacing him after concerns were raised about his ability to be impartial towards Liverpool, who are based near Dean's home town on [[Merseyside]].<ref>[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2006/04/25/sfnfac25.xml ''"FA replace Cup final referee from the Wirral"'']: [[Daily Telegraph|Telegraph.co.uk]] website.</ref> In the game, Liverpool triumphed on [[Penalty shootout (football)|penalties]] by 3-1, the score at the end of [[extra time]] being 3 goals each.<ref>[http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=484894 2006 FA Cup Final]: soccerbase.com website.</ref>

He currently holds an FA Preliminary Coaching Badge.<ref>[http://www.refereesassistant.com/html/main/modules.php?name=News&file=print&sid=954 FA Preliminary Coaching Badge] confirmation: ''RefereesAssistant.com'' website.</ref>

Wiley was on the receiving end of an Alex Ferguson tirade following Manchester United's loss to Chelsea on 26 April 2008, when Chelsea were awarded a penalty for handball. Manchester United's bench claimed the ball had hit midfielder [[Michael Carrick]] on the shoulder, however the penalty was awarded by assistant referee Glenn Turner, and was scored to give [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] a 2-1 lead.

On 24 May 2008, Wiley took charge of the Championship Playoff Final between Hull City and Bristol City at Wembley Stadium, a match which Hull City won.

[[Image:2009-3-14 ManUtd vs LFC Red Card Vidic.JPG|thumb|right|300px|Alan Wiley shows the Red Card to Nemanja Vidić of ManUtd on 14 March 2009]]

Wiley officiated the match between Manchester United and Liverpool at [[Old Trafford]] on 14 March 2009, in which he awarded 2 penalty kicks (one to Manchester United and one to Liverpool,) as well as a red card to United's [[Nemanja Vidić]]. Commentator [[Andy Gray]] said on Sky Sports's TV commentary, following Vidić's dismissal that, "Alan Wiley, in my opinion, has got all the big decisions (today) right." Liverpool's Fabio Aurelio would score the resulting free-kick, putting his team up 3-1 in a match they won by a final scoreline of 4-1.

On 15 August 2009, he had the honour of refereeing the first game of the new [[Premier League]] season between [[Chelsea F.C.]] and [[Hull City A.F.C.]], Chelsea ran out 2-1 winners.

On 3 October 2009 Sir Alex Ferguson launched a scathing attack on Wiley in a post-match interview following Manchester United's 2-2 draw against Sunderland, complaining that Wiley was 'not fit enough for a game of that standard' and accused Wiley of 'walking up the pitch for the second goal needing a rest'. Ferguson has since apologised for the comments but stated that the overall fitness of referees in the Premier League needs to be addressed.

On 20 January 2010, Wiley did not penalize [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]]'s [[William Gallas]] for his tackle on [[Bolton Wanderers F.C.|Bolton]]'s [[Mark Davies (footballer)|Mark Davies]] in a sequence that led to an Arsenal goal. Bolton manager [[Owen Coyle]] said that Gallas should have been sent off.<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8471564.stm</ref>
