I am quite shocked! Tierney being removed really shouldn't be surprising he will never referee games at this stage- too old and not good enough. Coote and Bankes aren't going to be good enough either. Neither should really be used on VAR either as they are both petty useless at it.
Delighted to see Gillett, Jones and Brooks added to the list. Would have liked Hooper. Michael Salisbury seems to do well on VAR.
Would have liked Dan Robathan to replace Constantine Hatzidakis or Harry Lennard on the list.
Going to be strange seeing Tierney without a FIFA badge. Do Bankes and Coote and Salisbury get to have Badges as VAR's?
I think this is a perfect time to follow the example of some other countries and stop the wearing of FIFA badges for domestic football; they should only be worn for appropriate international competitions. The wearing of them domestically smacks too much of a sort of caste system for my liking but then my profession has all sorts of distinctive tokens to signify one's place in the hierarchy. Special badges and clothes do not necessarily signify better practitioners.
