Congratulations to all of those appointed to the finals. I am
especially pleased for Breakspear...he seems to attract a lot of
unfair criticism on this board IMO. Every time I’ve seen him he
is a decisive official who gets most things bang on, is very
consistent and doesn’t shirk the big calls. I hope the day goes
well for all concerned, and do wonder if this is a sign of
impending promotion for Charles, much like Whitestone the last
time Sunderland reached the final?

Yes, congrats to Charles and his team and hope you have a good
game. I could be wrong, but I think he is the first Surrey
referee to take charge of a major Trophy Final since Ray Lewis
refereed the League Cup Final thirty years ago in 1990/91. Given
that some of the long-serving FL refs such as Salisbury Sr,
Boyeson and Drysdale were obviously not eligible this time, I
was going to suggest someone like Charles, up-and-coming but not
perhaps in the top bracket, a bit like Whitestone and Woolmer
who both refereed the EFL Final and went on to become SG2 refs.
I wish Charles well for the future and hope that all our
post-match comments on him are positive. I am sure they will be.
A day out on the boards at Wembley for Mr Kettle ;D

That was also the case for Gavin Ward the season prior to Dean
Whitestone's final.

Although previously from Kent, I presume that we can count Ward
as a Surrey referee ?

Congratulations to all.
Will the winner of the 2020 final be the shortest ever holders
of a trophy?

Will Mike Dean be at Wembley to see his fellow card shark and
beloved Tranmere in action I wonder? Depite the ban on fans
attending, I wouldn't put it past him to be there in some
capacity.

Portsmouth could get that record along with being the longest
holders of the FA Cup (1939-46). Although something rather
important happened instead between those years.
