       I remain unconvinced that this is the correct course of action
       but I sincerely hope that everyone involved stays safe and
       healthy.

       FA Cup Final penned in for 1st August. I hope that if this comes
       off, it won't be regarded as a 'one-and-only' for a referee such
       as Tierney or Pawson, given that the Final will presumably be
       played behind closed doors and lack the usual atmosphere and
       build-up.

       Talking of which, would it really be necessary to play the semis
       at Wembley in these circumstances?

       Looking forward to the Premier League and FA Cup returning. I
       think announcements have been as expected really.
       It will be interesting to see how refereeing statistics for
       games without supporters compare to games with them.

       > According to breaking news on BBC Football, the Premier League
       season is set to restart on 17 June with Aston Villa v Sheffield
       United and Manchester City v Arsenal. The matches are the two
       games in hand. A full fixture list would then be played on the
       weekend of 19-21 June. Clubs are still discussing the idea at a
       meeting on Thursday, but it is understood all have agreed in
       principle at this stage.

       On a personal note I am not sure if it’s right to restart and,
       even as a City fan, would have been ok with Liverpool being
       awarded the title. However I do appreciate there are issues re
       relegation and promotion to sort out.
       When it starts again any thoughts on appointments? City v
       Arsenal was down to be reffed by Jon Moss before lockdown. Do we
       feel that one of the biggies will now get the game to herald the
       restart, possibly Oliver or Dean?

       I think travel distance may be a factor in appointing referees.
       As the current regulations stand, they would not be allowed to
       stay overnight either before or after the match - so would need
       to travel both ways on the same day. They should not be using
       public transport (train) and would not be allowed to share a car
       with somebody outside their household.
       I don't think you will be seeing Oliver, Taylor or Dean in
       London or the south coast the rest of this season.  It would be
       interesting to see the geographical spread of the referees and
       what are their closest clubs. That will dictate a lot of the
       appointments!

       And clubs will now have to pay out in expenses fees if they are
       not travelling together!

       I'm sure they can afford it.
