Episode 3  https://www.uefa.tv/video/vod/179770/

Anthony Taylor features. He's in competition with Pawson as to who can do the sugar plum fairy look more often though! He comes across very well. I know his community work during Lockdown 1 was mentioned on here before but just in case he pops his head in - thank you Anthony. Same to anyone who helped voluntarily in the ways he he did, or in whatever way really, as someone who is disabled & shielded I know how 1st hand how much that help was needed and appreciated.

Turpin does not suit a beard! Was good listening to him speak with the match observer post match in the dressing room after the red card incident.  How cute he knew how many days successively he'd sat and eaten with his wife & kids & the simple joy he showed of reading to his kids at bedtime, a reminder of the sacrifices these guys make over the years.

Carlos Del 'totty' Grande (can never remember his full name) was coming across very well - ruined it by wearing yellow though!

Didn't know Makkelie is a police officer.

Rosetti - "The referees are not only people who take decisions on the field of play but behind the referees we also want men. Also great men. So I'm very happy, I am very proud. I am very proud of those who are taking care of other people. It is something also fantastic for their image."  Sounds like he places a lot of emphasis on character

The sports science was interesting as was seeing how they handled the training when covid 1st hit.

Enjoyable episode. Turpin I think comes across as a really decent affable guy. I still wish they would feature far more in game communications, for some games they are closer to brief highlights with little or no focus on the referees. Overall though its a good series imo, just feel they could have given a little more insight into on the pitch matters. Good to hear referees speaking about incidents afterwards though.
