Friend for us at the Etihad...some refreshing alternatives to the usual pairings and some SG2 assistants get to have VAR assistance at Newcastle.

Huge congratulations to Marc Edwards - completely unexpected to see a first year get a fourth round tie but surely a great reward for an excellent start to his FL career!

In other news, all 3 potential PL promotion candidates have matches. England getting a live match, Robinson with tenants against landlords and Jones with another opportunity to use VAR at a PL ground. Decent appointments for them IMO!

Interesting appointment for Shrewsbury v Liverpool

Wonder if anyone will remember one of the officials was on Shrewsbury's books as a 14/15 year old?

Commented occasionally on the old site. It is a non story as it was so long ago but was just  surprised at the appointment as first time we have had them. Would prefer it if a current player as might give us a chance of a draw rather than the hammering we will get 😂😂😂

Michael Oliver has Wolves v Liverpool on Thursday followed by Burnley v Norwich on Saturday. The players wouldn’t be expected to do that so why are referees?

Most Premier League clubs were expected to do exactly that over Christmas.

I’m guessing there is one happy Wirral card shark this evening!!
