General Discussion / Re: Ollie Langford - Sheffield Wednesday v Reading« on: Thu 03 Dec 2020 17:32 »
Hardly a Langford match passes without damning criticism on this site. We can’t all be wrong surely and yet those who run SG2 keep giving him decent games.
I have asked before and I find myself asking again........what do they see in him?? I remain baffled and clearly many others on this site do too. 723

Select Group 2 / Re: Fri 4th – Wed 9th DEC 2020« on: Mon 30 Nov 2020 17:52 »I see James Linington has a nice long trip to Preston on Saturday. And it's Tier 1 to Tier 3, so no Restaurants open if you're hungry after the game James. Wonder if they might give him a PL 4th official appointment for the Sunday on his way home. Seems a heck of a way to go just to referee mid table clash between 2 mediocre sides ( with all due Respect) 726

General Discussion / Re: The VAR thread« on: Sat 28 Nov 2020 19:52 »
Liverpool for one on the wrong end of VAR decisions today - all I hasten to add correct ones too.
A spiked interview by Klopp complaint about various things afterwards and Jordan Henderson saying he would scrap VAR. How the leopard has changed its spots all of a sudden! What goes round come round 728
Non Footy Appointments / Re: Super League Grand Final« on: Tue 24 Nov 2020 20:27 »
I am sure Kendall had it last year and was less than impressive.
He and Moore seem to be Gansons blue eyed boys at present, with the likes of Hicks, Child and Thaler suddenly being side-lined somewhat. I understand Moore is 25 and Kendall not much older, so is this a deliberate ploy from Ganson to reduce the age of referees? Experience should still count for a lot. If this trend continues how long before a 14 year old is appointed to a Wembley Final? 729
General Discussion / Re: New Select Group System Needed?« on: Tue 24 Nov 2020 20:04 »Sorry if this is a boring over talked about topic but I had some thoughts I'd be interested to see what others think. There is a great deal of sense in what you are suggesting but, as others say, almost too sensible for Riley and his shower to implement it. When SG2 was set up there was a lot of speculation, indeed hope, on this site that many if not all the SG2 refs, who are after all full time, would each get a few games each season to lessen the pressure on the PL refs and to aid their own development. Disillusionment set in for most of us when, if I recall correctly, not one of them was even given a sniff of a PL middle that first season. A chance blown, whether due to incompetent administration, indifference or whatever. In my career I worked in a large office, a school and for a national charitable organisation where progression planning, teamwork and load sharing were all essential and brought success. I sometimes feel the PGMOL has lost the plot in all 3 disciplines 730

General Discussion / Re: D Coote (VAR) - Liverpool v Leicester- NOT!« on: Thu 19 Nov 2020 20:08 »I thought it was a rather poor appointment on Monday. There was no need to appoint him to that game on Sunday. It still feels very soon after the Everton game and is one of the highest profile fixtures of the weekend, given it's 3rd against 1st. It was always going to create headlines and a negative reaction, especially as it's an international break and so there's not as much day to day to talk about as there might normally be. Agree with you that Coote has done well in the middle; I too was sceptical about his promotion but have been pleasantly surprised. His VAR abilities however leave much to be desired....... What I still can’t get my head round is Lee Probert being turned down as a possible VAR official because he couldn’t take or pass a PHYSICAL fitness test. What a complete load of 🎱 🎱! 733

Once again no mention of James Linington. Brief appearance at Brentford the other week after missing 3 weeks but no sign at all in current fixtures.
Can only assume he has a longer term injury. 734
