       Absolutely no surprises that the big games at the top and bottom
       go to the two best referees. Although Oliver being a newcastle
       fan makes it surprising that he is appointed to a big game at
       the bottom
       Although I don't think it will affect anything as Neither
       support Manchester teams and I am not questioning the integrity
       of the referees but having 2 referees from
       Manchester in this game is asking for controversy

       Anthony Taylor lives within 10 mins of Old Trafford- should be
       close enough to not referee Manchester teams. Chris Kavanagh is
       even more questionable, it it any  different to how English
       refereees won't referee english teams in europe?

       I don't know where he is based now but certainly a few years ago
       Paul Tierney hailed from Wigan.

       Another change in appointments, no doubt due to the much
       depleted pool of SG1 as opposed to the old National List, is
       that the geographical area a referee is deemed to come from in
       avoiding a clash with a club has narrowed considerably and I
       believe may now be reckoned as by postcode. In the old days it
       was much more on a county basis so a Yorkshire team playing a
       London team would not tend to have a referee from either
       Yorkshire or London. Derby matches from the same county might
       though have had a referee from that county.
       Obviously if a referee declares support for a certain team they
       are  excluded from refereeing that team or a match which might
       materially affect the fortunes of that team ie  relegation
       battles.

       Why? He doesn't support either team or any of their rivals, nor
       does he live anywhere near the ground. He doesn't even live in
       Manchester.
       The post code rule was done away with 5/6 years ago so where
       referees live is irrelevant to what teams and which grounds they
       can referee at.

       There is no postcode rule. The rule on living distance in
       proximity to grounds was scrapped at least 5/6 years ago. It has
       zero relevance as has been pointed out a million times on here
       over the years. The only thing of relevance is if they or a
       close family member supports a team, works for a team or plays
       for a team eg for the academy team.

       Not hating on Scott here, but why oh why are referees who, let's
       be honest, don't have much of a future in SG1 (or at least
       wouldn't if we had some competent management in charge),
       continue to pick up decent matches, when you have the likes of
       Gillett sitting in Stockley Park (yet again). It makes no sense
       to me!

       that the geographical area a referee is deemed to come from in
       avoiding a clash with a club has narrowed considerably and I
       believe may now be reckoned as by postcode. In the old days it
       was much more on a county basis so a Yorkshire team playing a
       London team would not tend to have a referee from either
       Yorkshire or London. Derby matches from the same county might
       though have had a referee from that county.

       Postcode rule was abolished. Its now entirely based on who the
       referee supports.
