I think Brooks, Gillett and Jones are replacing Tierney, Coote and Bankes, although Coote/Bankes will remain on the FIFA VAR list. Salsbury is also added to FIFA VAR list.

Cages? Think you meant badges 😉

As far as I understand badges are worn on field when they are given as Ref or AR.

A FIFA futsal ref cannot where their badge in an 11 a side competition, for example

😂😂😂😂.

Oops!

I am very pleased that Jarred Gillett made the list, and slightly for John Brooks. CANNOT understand why Rob Jones is on the list as he is awful. Surprised that Bankes, Coote and Tierney all stood down not being very old, but glad anyway as Bankes and Coote are useless. Would have picked Michael Salisbury over Jones for sure. Also, surely Massey-Ellis and Aspinall (Women's AR's) should be listed as men's as well as they both wear their FIFA badges during men's PL matches, whereas as Rebecca Welch and Lisa Rashid do not, in their men's matches in the EFL. Also, all those saying Hooper deserves to be on the list (Removed-no need for aggressive remark towards other users)  He's awful!! Also, not sure yet as haven't seen them but I hope Darren England has been promoted in the UEFA lists to Elite or First (I believe he was Second previously?).

When I first saw him on National League appointment 2A, I believe, I was quite scathing about Rob Jones.

I am now significantly less so, pleased that he has earned his FIFA badge and have a sneaky feeling that he will surprise some correspondents on here by becoming a well established FIFA Official

the manner and tone of your post real isn’t what we have on here , if you are going to say an official is awful I suggest you do so constructively and with explanation, this is rate the ref not slate the ref! Also your tone towards other posters is totally unacceptable, may I suggest you take a look at our rules and try again.

To all those to whom I caused offence, I am sorry about the wording of my post and will think about that next time. However, what I said was only meant in jest and I have never met anyone who has not understood that before so maybe what I said was right. Also, the remark about Simon Hooper. He is clearly not awful as he is on Select Group 1, compared to myself who is a newly qualified Level Y referee. However, I sometimes think he causes unnecessary stoppages in the games instead of playing advantage.

Not very angelic, Gabriel.

Perhaps no "wings as drifted snow" but quite possibly "eyes as flame"
