The FA need to realise that the season opens earlier that
weekend.

Excellent appointment for Craig, Very happy with him for the
game. Surprising to see him again though as he only just did the
fa cup final and has already had a community shield final.
Kavanagh for the EFL cup final and Tierney for the fa by guess
for this season.

Chris Kavanagh may have been slightly disadvantaged in terms of
these appointments by being involved in the woman’s Euros

Congratulations to Craig and his team a slightly odd and
unexpected appointment but a deserved one. Have many other
referees done this game twice? Or directly after the FA cup
final?
Also interesting that John Brooks gets the VAR appointment
having only done the job a handful of times.

I think for a long time it was the case that a referee only did
the Community Shield once, at least in my time following
football. But I think there's been a couple of times recently
where someone's got it a second time. I think Martin Atkinson
might have got it again a few years ago?
I'm not quite sure what you mean about Brooks as VAR. He has
certainly done more than a handful of games in that role and I
seem to recall he did plenty of big games as VAR towards the end
of last season.
