Good appointments for Neil Doyle and Paul McLaughlin. I have never seen Adriano Reale before, according to this website - https://www.transfermarkt.com/adriano-reale/profil/schiedsrichter/6004/plus/0?funktion=1&saison_id=&wettbewerb_id=IR1 He has had very sporadic appointments in the top division over the past 8 years or so, anyone know why?

He was a feature in the First Division for a long time with an odd appointment in the Premier. Had a couple of howlers in the top division, but has certainly improved a bit in recent times..

I see, hopefully he can continue his improvement.

I haven't watched too much Irish football of late. Who would be the number 1 referee at the moment, Doyle? Of the younger officials last I saw I would favour Hennessey over Harvey.

Yes I would have Doyle slightly ahead of Paul McLaughlin at the minute. Hennessy is whistle and card happy. Not much between him and Harvey, but I would agree with you. I would have Hennessy over Harvey.

Thanks for that. I always thought Doyle was a bit unlucky not to make the 1st group in UEFA and McLaughlin unlucky not to make the 2nd group. Mind you McLoughlin has had more UEFA appointments over the past season or two.

Yeah to be honest I don't think Hennessy or Harvey present any great potential at the moment but plenty of time to develop. Harvey I feel comes across a tad robotic a times and last time I watched him live (about 2 years ago) he had an awful habit of going to his pocket for a card, then changing his mind. I may have been watching him closer than most at the match but he must've done it at least 3 times and it looked bad.

I think since Alan Kelly left there hasn't been anyone that seems to be coming that close to his level (expect maybe Doyle).
