Mr Popular back at the vitality stadium albeit as 4th official , was hoping to see Kavanagh on the Utd vs Brighton match but pleased for Tierney who’s had a excellent season so far

Happy with Pawson for us. The usual suspects in and around the south coast and the card shark from the Wirral gets the Lincolnshire derby in L2. Interesting that no SG are in the championship this weekend.

So are you saying that they aren't worthy of one of the top 3  (IMHO) officials?

A bit condescending arguable?

How are we supposed to bring through the next generation of officials of mid table games like this go to our top refs!??

I can't believe Altrincham based Anthony Taylor has been appointed to a game involving two teams who are jostling for positions with both Manchester clubs. What a shambles!

What do you propose though.  Oliver and Taylor can't referee the top four every week, so they have to referee the so called lower teams from time to time.

The big refs should do the big games! So when the big teams play the smaller teams like this week city are playing huddersfield and spurs are playing Fulham - using Marriner and Pawson is a waste of time in my eyes! Then when the big games come around you end up in a situation where moss and Friend end up being appointed!

You object to Michael Oliver being appointed to Watford v Burnley which keeps a “big ref” away from the “big teams”.  You don’t like a “big ref” taking charge of a “big team” versus “smaller team” match either.  There is only one so called big 6 clash this weekend and that went to Anthony Taylor.  Which game would you have appointed Oliver to ?

I wouldn’t have appointed him to one. He can have the odd week off can’t he?
