       Our top young team, imo.  Would have preferred that team on a
       game in NIR so I could go to it! Well depending on the travel
       restrictions of course!

       Possibly but no-one will ever top György Ring. Best AR we have
       ever had. Hungary's Darren Cann. Cann himself agrees György is
       one of the best in the world & coming from him who is right up
       at the top of that list is a huge compliment. They are both
       superb young AR's though. Theodorus has been my 2nd fav (to
       György) for a few seasons now - very naturally talented young
       man.

       I'm assuming you mean his refereeing style as opposed to me
       replying 36yrs old, 6'1, slim, dark hair, beautiful dark brown
       eyes and quite cute! ;) Dreadful hairstyles mind!
       He reminds me very much of Clatts. Bit of an arrogant swagger on
       the pitch, but is lovely and not at all arrogant. His fitness is
       exceptional, positioning excellent, reads a game very well &
       gets himself in the best position, can outrun any player on a
       quick break. Knowledge & application of the LOTG is simply top
       notch. He was very strict but has calmed slightly with
       experience and his use of advantages is growing in a very
       positive way. Very consistent & always fair with both teams.
       When he does call one wrong he really does so in style & it
       tends to be a biggie!! (Like Clatts). Very confident in himself
       mostly in a good way. Will not be told what to do, he will
       always referee within the LOTG, no amount of directives will
       change him on a pitch, again like Clatts. Tell him to ignore
       pushes & he will refuse point blank & punish them regardless as
       an example. Obviously prepares for games very well, knows the
       players, teams styles of play and adjusts his position
       accordingly. Likes to allow a game to flow around him but is not
       afraid of making the big calls. Often opts for man management
       ahead of cards, not always correctly, sometimes a yellow has to
       be given to really calm things down but he is improving in that
       regard. He has no problem with giving out cards when needed.
       Very exciting to watch, he has that "wow" factor needed to be a
       top International referee. Very naturally talented, strong,
       confident & consistent. Possibly promoted too late to make the
       elite list but would be easily capable of doing so. His
       promotion and white badge were delayed as he was considered a
       bit of a discipline problem down to him doing what he thinks is
       right as opposed to doing what he is told. By that I'm not
       suggesting he's not willing to grow & learn because he clearly
       strives to keep growing as a referee and learns from mistakes
       but things like directives, he will ignore if doesn't agree with
       them! If it's in the LOTG he will strive to follow them on the
       pitch, if it's in a directive telling him to deviate from that
       even slightly then no chance! Made his EL debut last season in
       Engordany v Dinamo Tbilisi and put in an absolute masterclass of
       a performance. It was just wonderful to see.

       Dale Johnson on twitter has said " The Champions League
       preliminary round match between KF Drita and Linfield FC is
       forfeited by KF Drita 3-0.
       The whole Drita squad had been quarantined by Swiss health
       authorities after two positive COVID tests.
       Linfield will now play Legia Warsaw in 1QR."

       Interesting that Northern Ireland’s Jamie Robinson make his
       European debut at the Cardiff City Stadium for the Connahs Quay
       match. Unusual for a British official to referee a fellow
       British team in European Competition.
