Very interesting set of appointments:

Robinson, Jones, England and Gillett all get games at PL grounds and opportunities to practice using VAR. Surely a sign that these 4 gents are considered as the next SG1 officials. Indeed, with VAR likely to stay, 4 promotions would be a decent number to help relieve the pressure on an overstretched SG1. I would expect England and Gillett to get a PL match early in the new year. Indeed, I hope Mike Riley continues to utilise these officials in the PL. Jones certainly deserves another game after a decent performance this weekend.

The TV games show a decent spread of appointments. Madley and Coote both get the chance to show off their shiny new white badges on BT. Moss was certainly not who I would ever have expected to get this particular match but I hope all goes well for him!

As for NL representatives in this round, John Busby gets another decent game and Marc Edwards has got to be the shock of the round. A first year ref getting a 3rd round middle is unheard of. Surely a sign that he has settled to life well in the EFL (not that I’m surprised having ran the line to him on a number of occasions - top ref and top bloke!)
