       Has to be Marriner for one of them, however Atkinson is probably
       a decent favourite to get one also.

       I believe Marriner is a Villa fan and Friend doesn't referee
       Leicester so that's a limiting factor. Moss has Man Utd V
       Burnley and did Aston Villa V Man City the weekend just gone too
       so not sure he'll get one.
       I'd say Atkinson almost certainly (although not convinced he
       deserves one) and maybe Graham Scott for Aston Villa V
       Leicester?

       Perhaps it’s just me but I sometimes hope that one these
       seminars clashes with weekend fixtures as it would mean a number
       of SG2 refs stepping up and being given a chance to ref in the
       PL. They are after all professionals and, in some cases, better
       than those who are part if the SG1. Failing that, perhaps a
       couple of weekends a year where SG2 refs get a good portion of
       the PL matches while their colleagues on SG1 have a taster of
       life back in the Championship. It would freshen things up a bit
       and be a carrot for those aspiring to SG1 level to know that
       they could be in line for a shot at a PL game once or twice a
       year, performance permitting
       I know it won’t happen but dream on ..........

       Whole heartedly agree, that’s why only certain refs should be
       given the chance. Neither of these would be anywhere near a PL
       game if I had my way

       No great surprise with Andre refereeing the Manchester derby,
       but Mike preferred to Atkinson is a bit of a surprise. A weekend
       of congrats to Mike continues. I hope that both of you and your
       teams have great evenings. Now who's going to have a Happy St
       David's Day at Wembley? Kavanagh, Scott or Mason....?

       Mike Dean getting both legs shows the lack of depth in English
       top flight refereeing at the moment!
       I know there is a European conference but I remember times where
       you had 10-12 refs capable of handling cup semis. Eg in 2002-03
       when you had Poll, Barber, Winter, Durkin, Halsey, Riley, Wiley,
       Bennett, Styles, Dunn, Gallagher. Level of top talent seems a
       lot thinner now.

       Dean getting two semi-finals shows how good he is. I wonder if
       they hadn't planned ahead from the first legs because it was a
       bit surprising that neither Oliver or Taylor were used then if
       they weren't available for the second.
       I presume VAR will be used again, probably Atkinson and Mason
       considering the other appointments.
       I think Tierney has a decent chance for the final.
