I think it's Mike Dean's first game refereeing with VAR - could
be eventful! I've always wanted to see Dean using the system and
the signals - I can't imagine him allowing himself to be
surrounded.
Hopefully Graham Scott fares better as VAR than he did for the
Spurs V Rochdale game last year.
It seems strange to me that Neil Swarbrick and Mike Jones were
VAR for practically all the games it was used last year and yet
now aren't used at all.

Mike Dean's first Arsenal game since the WBA debacle 9 months
ago, so wise to make it a game that won't be taken as seriously
as a PL game.
Interesting that some PL home teams get VAR and some don't.
Presumably the system isn't ready to cope with this number of
games yet.

There are only two games where a PL team is at home without VAR
being in place. Tottenham's home on this occasion is Milton
Keynes so that is not being played on a PL ground.
Everton's game has been put back a week meaning that it clashes
with European fixtures so I would imagine that they are still
waiting to see who will be available to man the VAR booth.

Hopefully it will give Graham a bit more time to nurse poorly
muscles if that was the reason for his recent absence from duty.
I agree with regard to Neil and Mike. Neil has been giving views
on incidents in the media - quite considered views imo - so
clearly he is aiming to continue in some role at the higher
levels of football.
I would be interested in a report on Simon Hooper's performance
at AFCB and whether he is naturally slow and steady (as he
appears) or whether he is not yet at the required fitness level
to be able to ref a PL game.
Roger East appears to be heading back to the top table with a
good game at Oxford.

I'm sure he will do just fine. It's a ground he is well
acquainted with and one where he is well liked. He would always
be sent to DC after an injury or if he'd had a nightmare of a
game back in our FL days. I think because it's a ground he can
arrive relaxed pre-match at knowing the home crowd are not
against him from the get go. Being a localish lad he's refereed
us many times and been there through the bad & good times, he
was the referee the night we confirmed promotion to the PL,
which will be remembered by our fans! If he has been having a
tough time lately then the best place for him is Dean Court,
it's the ground where he regains any confidence & self belief
back & 99% time has a decent game. I look forward to welcoming
him back.
