I have seen Will Finnie since he was a 2B. An exemplary attitude
and I always thought he had the makings of a very fine referee
indeed. I hope it works out well for him.

I'm sure some will have access to more official records of ages
for those referees mentioned as potential future stars. The only
one I readily found from a newspaper article back in Sep.'20 was
that Leigh Doughty was 30 at that time.

Lord Elleray didn’t help Attwell one bit IMO did he?

Actually I never understood why Attwell was removed from the
FIFA list. He made his EL Group stage debut on 2011 and even did
the Final of the U19. So he must have done something right back
then to get so many appointments by UEFA.

James Oldham in his second year. James Bell has been good on the
occasion I’ve seen him, and Ben Speedie was good when I saw him
in the national league North.

As things turned out I guess he didn't. It could be argued that
if Attwell hadn't been so rushed through the promotion system he
might have matured into a world class referee. It's not an
argument I buy at all. Great credit must go to Attwell who,
after being knocked off his place in the top flight and losing
his FIFA Badge, has so continued to work at his game to regain
both. He is now where I think he should be, a middle ranking SG1
official with a minor role internationally although VAR may be
his thing here. It's a shame he had to go through his demotions
first. A more steady rise would have seen him where he is now
but without the difficulties on the way there.

All over social media, it is being said that Paul Tierney blew
his whistle six seconds before the 1 minute was up. For me,
there is nothing wrong with that. It was just unfortunate that
it turned out that the ball would have turned into an attack.

Maybe Tierney started his watch before the players took the
knee!
