       Pawson is the most senior of the referees who haven't had the FA
       Cup Final. However, he's from Sheffield I believe and both
       Sheffield clubs are still in the Cup. If neither the Owls or
       Blades reach the Final, then I would expect Pawson to get it.

       I agree rob jones and Darren England for promotion and var
       should be available at all grounds from the 3rd rd onwards and
       not in places where it isn’t

       Surely it has to be either IN or OUT

       Makes more sense not to use it until the semis IMO.

       There are 32 games in the 3rd round proper, even with games
       staggered over three days they couldn't possibly use VAR on that
       number of games.  The VAR room isn't big enough, wouldn't have
       enough monitors, and they wouldn't have enough officials either.

       I would agree that these are the likely contenders ( barring
       accidents ) for the next three FA cup Finals with Pawson (
       geography permitting ) getting it this year. It is perhaps
       possible that Attwell might get the Final before Kavanagh and
       Tierney, a moot point that I think.

       Really pleased to see Darren England “rewarded” for the most
       shocking decision of the season in the 3rd round game involving
       Derby County by being appointed to this round. Clearly forgiven
       and cock ups count for very little if your face fits

       I see Arsenal have Mike Dean - AGAIN? Isn't this all getting a
       bit irregular?
       If there are only 6 referees that one club can have then the
       answer is more refs, not imposing/granting the few onto one club
       over and over.
       It really makes me wonder if sometimes, the officials who get
       the same teams regularly, become just a bit biased against them
       to avoid any sense of favouritism the other way?

       my apologies rusty ref for getting it wrong again i just think
       it would be better if var was available and you can have joint
       decisions and not just 1

       It would of course be ideal, but there are practicalities.
       Having VAR at a ground isn't just a case of a truck turning up,
       there will be leased network lines needed back to Stockley Park
       and these typically have lead times of months rather than weeks.
       There just wouldn't be time needed between the rounds to get it
       installed.
       Also look at referee numbers.  Let's assume that 10 of the 32
       ties are at PL grounds, with the current system you would need
       148 officials, with VAR at all the ties you would need 192
       officials, where are those extra 44 coming from?  There's also
       the cost angle, the clubs are charged a significant amount of
       money per game where VAR is in use.  That's fine if someone like
       Hartlepool are away at Man Utd as they will get it back through
       their share of the gate receipts, but if they are home to Exeter
       they would actually lose money.

       While not wishing to comment on the alleged *** ups because I
       haven't seen the footage, I can certainly assent to the
       proposition that Darren England's face "fits".
