I find it strange that people are saying that the likes of Stroud and Drysdale shouldn't be considered for promotion due to their age or a minor disciplinary issue - if they have been two of the best performing referees this season then they deserve to be considered. I'm sure some would be quick to point the finger at the PGMOL if there were considering 'lesser' performing referees instead.

I think the point is it doesn't really help the succession planning.

Is it only me or does someone else detect a bit of a pattern?
Clattenberg suspended for a few months - comes back, and the rest is history (even ignoring the Ed Sheehan fiasco)
Coote suspended for reasons which never became fully clear - returns to SG2, gets promoted to SG1 and FIFA
Stroud - demoted after 2 years in SG1 - now at 51 being offered a chance to return (age alone makes this staggering)
Madley for the reasons well documented is sacked - returns and looks likely he is now the prodigal son
Drysdale suspended earlier in season - now being interviewed for promotion (at 50 too!)

Maybe a hint to all aspiring for promotion but not getting noticed - don’t just be an ordinary, genuine nice guy towing the line, step out of line a bit, be a rebel and see where that gets you!

Incidentally do we know how many in each category will be promoted? I assume being invited for interview does not necessarily mean promotion is a certain.

Well there will definitely be at least 1 to SG1 to replace Lee Mason - I personally believe they should promote 3 as there could well be a few more SG1 refs who opt for the specialised VAR route in the not too distant future!

As for SG2, it will depend how many go up to SG1. I think that they will replace those promoted to SG1 plus one more as I personally can't see Scott Duncan making a return!

All those that are being interviewed, have ranked on the top end of their respective merit tables.

In terms of those that have been suspended previously, I would not be surprised if these matters were brought up at interview-level with it informing further parts of the recruitment/shortlisting process, rather than individuals not being shortlisted for an interview at all - if that makes sense...

Apparently - three are to be promoted to Select Group 2, and two - but potentially three - are to be promoted to Select Group 1.

It won't happen, of course, but I would like to see no promotions to SG1. In the fulness of time, SG! could gradually be limited to FIFA and ex-FIFA officials. The remainder could operate in SG2, allowing much greater flexibility in appointments for Premier League matches. It would take quite a few years to work its way through, but offers clear (to me, at least) advantages.

In which case, would it not have been wise to refrain from making the posts you did?

A most interesting observation. My take on it is that if someone is "anointed" and adopted by powerful and influential people then they are fireproof. A small slap on the wrist and then full restitution. I suppose naked criminality could not be so easily overlooked ( and in the past there have been senior referees whose criminal records have cast them into the refereeing outer darkness ) but these days, honestly I am not so certain. I suspect only such things as overt racism or sexism would render  someone unfit for office and permanently dismissed. Mind you, Bobby Madley's disgusting behaviour in regard to disabled people appears not to carry the ultimate sanction. I cannot help but wonder if such restitution would have been offered to a humble FL toiler had he made a similar egregious comment. I have my doubts.

The referees being interviewed for promotion are the following:

Select Group 2 → Select Group 1
- John Brooks
- Jarred Gillett
- Tony Harrington
- Keith Stroud
- Michael Salisbury

National List → Select Group 2
- Thomas Bramall
- John Busby
- Martin Coy
- Darren Drysdale
- Craig Hicks
- Bobby Madley

My predictions are:
• Jarred Gillett
• Tony Harrington
• John Brooks


• Bobby Madley
• Thomas Bramall
• Martin Coy


What does everyone else think?

Well if the clear penalty missed in the last minute(s) to Newport in the L2 playoff final cost Ross Joyce SG2 in 2019, then Bobby Madley will surely miss out this time too.

Without offering thoughts on others, I'd be really chuffed to see Brooks and Salisbury promoted to SG1 personally.

T - certainly agree with your SG2 to SG1 - Gillet, Brooks and Harrington all performed well. Salisbury I think is a season too early, yet to be tested fully in Championship. Stroud, as commented elsewhere, great to see him up there but purely from a succession perspective I cannot see what SG1 or he gain from promotion. He will go from 25/30 games a season to 6, get very used to waving a board around, which I think is a waste of his experience.

I also agree that if (big if) the penalty decision in L2 play off was deemed to be wrong then Madley should not be promoted. Likewise, Busby. Hicks looks fairly nailed on.

It has been said numerous times on these boards that one game does not define/decide a season, so why should 1 decision (in 1 game) define/decide a season or promotion???

It sort of did define morecombe and Newport’s season/promotion.

Possibly could be said that Joss Labadie blazing over the bar from a couple of yards out in extra time also was the defining moment, however, this was just one match and Cheltenham, Cambridge and Bolton had their defining moments during 46 matches when Newport were not good enough.
Had they been good enough they would not have had to rely on three extra matches and a referee's decision and we would not be discussing whether or not that one decision should affect the promotion of an official.
Referee's decision used to be final!
