I wouldn’t be surprised if any of Ward, Simpson, Langford and
Martin were demoted. Possibly, Andy Woolmer due to his age, if
they are looking to make the group a bit younger.
In previous seasons, I have noticed assistants Darren Blunden,
Geoff Russell and Mark Jones all moved from Select Group 2 to
the National List. Maybe that was to blood in some younger
assistants. Perhaps- they are now looking to do the same with
the referees.

I would hazard a guess that is why the NL to SG2 referee
promotions haven't been announced, one or more have been demoted
and are appealing it. Can't see any other reason why one
particular level would be held back from being announced.
But demotions will never be published, you will only find out
once the next season's lists are announced. Same as any work
situation, comms go out when people are promoted but you will
never see a work email or Yammer post saying that Joe Bloggs has
unfortunately been demoted due to his poor work performance.

Is it possible some people haven't completed the promotion
assessment yet? We discussed on another thread a referee getting
Covid around the time of their fitness test. I guess a delay
like that could prevent the process being fully completed -
although of course it's possible there might be a limit on how
long they're prepared to wait.

An excellent referee but wasn’t going to be elite, chance for
Nick Walsh to progress

Not seen much of Nick Walsh but he was excellent in Hungary last
season. Barely noticed him. He looks a great prospect though.

As a follower of Rangers I think Madden is the best in Scotland
by some distance. I would also put Beaton and Walsh ahead of
Collum from what I've seen in the SPL despite Collum being
classed in the elite category by UEFA.

In my opinion Nick Walsh is by far the best we have in Scotland
as things currently stand. Feel his foul detection and game
management is top class. If we are to get another Elite FIFA ref
to replace Willie it will be Nick Walsh I reckon

Bobby Madden, who some of you may know from his work as a
referee in the SPL, has recently relocated to England due to his
work commitments. As he transfers from the Scottish FA, he will
join the National Group of referees for the 2022/23 season.

Good luck to Bobby. New job demands and new leagues. BBC reports
Division 1 & 2. They also say that he has recovered from Thyroid
cancer suffered a few years ago which I did not know, so double
good luck this forthcoming season. There is more to life than
football and referee decisions.
