"Volunteered", really?
Tierney is only 41 so not sure where he goes from here. I think most of us had him down for the FA Cup Final in the next couple of years, especially being on FIFA. Will probably still happen but his profile is suddenly reduced somewhat. Maybe wants to spend more time hairdressing again? 🤪 Credit to him though, he could have easily gone on foreign trips still as 4th official or VAR as a jolly.
I am surprised he isn't being used as a FIFA VAR, he is far better than Coote and Bankes.
I think Tierney will do the FA Cup final this season. Other option is Attwell. Kavanagh will likely do the league cup final.
I think that it is Tierney's decision to step down from all international duties. It seems unlikely to me that he would have been completely forced out of all roles, and as I say his stock seems high enough that I think it's unlikely he would have been under any pressure to step down although who knows. I guess if faced with the choice of VAR only or coming off the list entirely he might have chosen the latter but like I say given the high profile PL appointments he often gets I don't think it's especially likely he would be forced into that choice.
