Sunderland vs Bournemouth: This is referee Tim Robinson's previous Black Cats record
Tim Robinson will take charge of Sunderland's Premier League clash with Bournemouth this weekend.
Sunderland will look to return to winning ways when they host Bournemouth in the Premier League this Saturday.
The Black Cats are now three without victory following back-to-back draws against Everton and Arsenal, before losing 1-0 away at Fulham last weekend. Sunderland have slipped to seventh in the table as a result, but still have an eight-point cushion over the relegation zone and trail the top four by just two points.
Tim Robinson will referee their next match, which sees Sunderland take on a Bournemouth side level with them on 19 points, but what is the official’s record overseeing previous Black Cats matches, and how has his 2025/26 season gone so far?
When did Tim Robinson last referee Sunderland?
Robinson took charge of a Sunderland game earlier this year when he officiated their 2-0 defeat away at Oxford United, in what was a five-game losing streak at the end of the 2024/25 season before their successful promotion play-off push.
The Black Cats received just the one yellow card that day, with Chris Mepham getting booked just before half-time, while Oxford received three yellow cards and committed 15 fouls to Sunderland’s 10.
Tim Robinson’s Sunderland record
That defeat to Oxford was the most recent of 14 Sunderland matches Robinson has taken charge of.
The result ended a four-match unbeaten run in his games for Sunderland, though they’ve not fared too well under his eye generally, with a record of four wins, five draws and five defeats, with 34 yellow cards and one red.
Robinson has never refereed a Sunderland game in the Premier League.

The 41-year-old was in charge of Crystal Palace 0-0 Brighton most recently, showing the hosts one yellow card and the visitors four, while he gave out just three bookings combined in his other Premier League fixture: a 2-0 home win for Burnley against Leeds United.
He hasn’t shown any red cards in the Premier League this season, while the only spot-kick he’s given was in Luton Town’s 1-0 win against Doncaster Rovers in League One.
