Could UEFA do more to develop English referees at international level outside Oliver/Taylor? Have Pawson/Kavanagh fulfilled their international potential so far and how many appointments have the referees beyond that had on-field as opposed to Fourth Official/VAR?
Pawson has had chances here and there but never really given as many chances as he could have been. Kavanagh is just a mediocre referee. Kavanagh maybe could be pushed more and I think Attwell should be as well.
Gosh, you certainly hold to a counsel of perfection if you describe Kavanagh as " mediocre ". I don't think Attwell could ever be a UEFA Elite referee. He seems to have found his proper level already. I see potential in Darren England and I just don't know enough about John Brooks to make an informed comment about his potential to get to the very top.
I think Chris Kavanagh must have stolen JackSamuel21's lunch money, constant negativity
By mediocre I mean in terms of referees at the top level. Not going to make it to the elite for me. But is far better than a lot. Mediocre is probably slightly harsh way of describing it.
