Known Jamie O'Connor for a long time. Sound referee who is extremely good at his job. Won't go far wrong with him - solid pair of hands

Delighted that Singh Gill gets an all premier league clash.


Why?? Please?

Personally I am not “delighted” as it does seem rather obvious that he is being rushed to the top as quickly as can be done for non referring reasons. That can’t be good for anyone, him, the clubs, the fans.
I am surprised therefore by your delight so hope you won’t get upset with me for asking why. I don’t know whether that’s the etiquette here but you didn’t say.

You can't possibly know that as you have no idea what marks he has been getting.  Sam Barrott has also been rushed to the top very fast, you aren't suggested his progress has been for non-refereeing reasons.

To clarify as this wasn’t made clear earlier I am referring to the Sheffield United game, not Chelsea.
You say I can’t possibly know. I don’t know or claim to know so I agree. You don’t know either. It’s speculation but Allison, Welch, Singh Gill, Howson, Dowle etc etc, I really don’t think it’s an outrageous view to think it probably isn’t a coincidence all relatively at once.

Howson had been around the top end of the Championship for a few years. I have been impressed with what I have seen of the others but they have been elevated fast.

Akill for me was comfortably the most superior AR within the Championship for some time. It's lack of space at SG1 that's impeded him. Watched him at Wembley assisting Madley on the Trophy and he was class.

By his own admission, Akil was just the wrong side of the promotion line for the last couple of years. Class official who deserved his promotion on merit
