Referee stood down for Barnsley v Peterborough after arrest
The original referee for Tuesday's match between Barnsley and Peterborough was stood down after he was arrested on suspicion of computer hacking.
Dean Mohareb, a senior member of the Football Association's referee department, was arrested on Sunday at his home by Greater Manchester Police.
He is alleged to have hacked an FA colleague's e-mail accounts and passed the information to the media.
A GMP spokesman confirmed a 29-year-old man had been bailed.
Both Championship sides were only informed of the change by the Professional Game Match Officials (PGMO) - the body which regulates, selects and trains referees for the FA, Football League and Premier League - to Carl Boyeson at 15:00 BST on Tuesday despite the arrest occurring nearly 48 hours previously.
A police spokesman confirmed: "On Sunday 30 September police seized a number of electrical items as part of an investigation into computer hacking and the dissemination of private information. A 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of unauthorised access to computer material/data, under section 1 of the misuse of computers act 1990. The man has since been bailed until 26 November."
The arrest is connected to a CID investigation into the hacking of personal and work e-mails belonging to Janie Frampton, the FA's former National Referee Manager for Education and Training.
Ms Frampton - an FA employee for 10 years - was suspended and then dismissed from her post following revelations when confidential information was leaked to the press. She strongly denies the allegations and is appealing the decision to sack her.
Mohareb is currently the FA's national referee development manager and a Football League referee.
The FA refused to comment.
