Rob jones involved in every leicester game - surely they could’ve mixed it up?

A very disappointing spread of appointments once again from the PL

Oliver with Arsenal for the 3rd time this season after having them against Wolves 4 matches ago.
Tierney with Spurs for 3rd time also, but first time on Wolves

Graham Scott refs Palace for the 3rd time this season - half of his games this season so far have been involving C Palace.
ATtwell with Chelsea again barely 2 weeks after doing their game against Wolves, and Pawson's 3rd Arsenal game - albeit first since October.
Madley back with a game at St Mary's - his last PL game was also a Southampton game against Sheffield United. He's had the same number of games as SImon Hooper which is absolutely disgraceful. For a FIFA referee to be involved in so few PL games is scandalous

3rd Everton game for Friend and Oliver refs M United again soon after doing the Sheffield United away game - 3 matchdays!
3rd Arsenal game already for Atkinson - 3 of their past 9 games he has refereed. ALso referees West Brom barely 2 weeks after doing their game against A Villa!

Marriner referees Southampton for the 3rd time this season

A very disappointing spread of appointments once again from the PL

Oliver with Arsenal for the 3rd time this season after having them against Wolves 4 matches ago.

This is an example of where I don't see a problem. Oliver did Arsenal in week 2 back in September and then refereed them against Wolves more than two months later, and now is doing what would normally be considered a big game (when Arsenal are doing a bit better!) a month or so after that. I think that's perfectly fine.

Hopefully Nuno is happier with Paul Tierney for the match home to Spurs.  Spurs are winless in their past 10 matches with Mr Tierney either in charge or on VAR (where he was for the 2-0 loss to Leicester last week) not a friend of my hapless Spurs side in those matches either....

Good set of performances yesterday Saw Michael Oliver Match in full great performance both of the penalty decisions correct
Anthony Taylor saw most of and was defo a red second yellow
Darren England seemed to have a good game and same with David Coote

Which I suspect he will be aware of and feel pretty crap about

Why did he blow the whistle. It was never a foul on the keeper. It was more a penalty the other way. Very poor refereeing.
