It is clearly the fault neither of Mr Kruashvili nor of UEFA, but I have distinctly mixed feelings about this appointment. It is an unmistakable sign that one is becoming old when a European final is allocated to someone whose grandfather one has seen in action (refereeing a Soviet league match in the early 1970s).
In the event Mr Kruashvili (grandson) performed well, handling the game in a manner which would, I think, have gained the approval of Ashington 46.
Certainly no complaints from me. It was a decent game to watch and Mr Kruashvili certainly added to my enjoyment of the game.
Two teams going hard at it, just the odd bit of nonsense which was quickly sorted and a good goal scored to win it. Some good young talent on view from all three teams!
