PGMOL is delighted to announce that The FA Referees’ Committee
has unanimously approved the nominations for the 2023 FIFA
Referees, Assistant Referees and Video Match Officials lists.
The key changes see John Brooks, Jarred Gillet and Rob Jones
included on the Men’s Referees List while Emily Heaslip has been
included on the Women’s Referees List, with the number of
officials operating on field in FIFA competitions from the start
of the new year increasing to 16.
Paul Tierney has decided to step down from international
football, while Peter Bankes and David Coote will now act solely
as FIFA Video Match Officials – part of a 12-strong group of
VARs from PGMOL.
Managing Director Mike Riley said: “I’d like to start by
congratulating John, Jarred, Rob and Emily on their nominations
for inclusion on the 2023 FIFA List – this is testament to them
for performances both domestically and internationally, as well
as their credentials as ambassadors of the game.
“They will find themselves in very good company on the
respective lists and I’m sure the growing number our officials
will continue to do us proud on the international stage.”
Mike added: “Paul Tierney has been a part of the Men’s List for
four years and I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate
him as well as thank him for delivering the high standards we
want to achieve when our officials are selected for fixtures on
the international stage.
“Just as importantly, I would like to express my gratitude to
Peter and David who have volunteered to step down from the Men’s
Referees List in order to create the opportunities for John,
Jarred and Rob. This is incredibly selfless of them and typical
of the values that make them the great ambassadors for
refereeing that they are.”

I am quite shocked! Tierney being removed really shouldn't be
surprising he will never referee games at this stage- too old
and not good enough. Coote and Bankes aren't going to be good
enough either. Neither should really be used on VAR either as
they are both petty useless at it.
Delighted to see Gillett, Jones and Brooks added to the list.
Would have liked Hooper. Michael Salisbury seems to do well on
VAR.
Would have liked Dan Robathan to replace Constantine Hatzidakis
or Harry Lennard on the list.
Going to be strange seeing Tierney without a FIFA badge. Do
Bankes and Coote and Salisbury get to have Badges as VAR's?

Quite a big shake up for our FIFA list referees.
Agree with previous poster that Tierney has had his time and not
really proved himself at the top level.
Coote and Bankes are also rightly stepping down as lack of
opportunities allied to their performances make their decision a
simple one.
Jarred Gillett was always a shoe in so good to see him get a
place, John Brooks has had a decent season so far and has age on
his side too, but Robert Jones? Too inconsistent for me and has
not really cemented his place at the top level. We’ll see
whether this elevation can see an improvement in his
performances.
Hooper I think is past the age where promotion would be
considered, a similar situation I believe for Kevin Friend when
he was on the list. However as I mentioned elsewhere, Hooper is
one of our better officials and is getting his deserved share of
top Premier League matches.
A good list of officials, and a little prediction from
me……Jarred Gillett will be a top referee on the continent and on
the world stage within 4/5 years.

Same, he is excellent. Harry Lennard being there I find odd. He
never gets used in Europe.

Not good enough to referee but put them on VAR where arguably
they are even worse. This is so very wrong. Jobs for the boys.

Finally, a shake-up of our top referees and well overdue. Bankes
and Coote were never good enough for FIFA and the latter is
lucky to be even on the PL List. They only got badges as they
were the next ones in line. Hopefully they can show they are
good VAR's but the jury is out on that one. As others have said
Tierney wasn't going anywhere.
A bit surprised to see Brooks as he has had more VAR
appointments since his appointment, but he is young enough. Also
agreed by Rob Jones: I haven't seen enough from him yet to say
he deserves a place on the list.
Maybe they could have left one place open for a year or two to
see if someone comes along, maybe the likes of Bell & Barrott in
a couple of years

Ah Coote and Bankes, those selfless ambassadors!
I have always thought of them as being two of the weaker SG1
VARs. But it creates a chance for likes of Gillett and Jones who
I think have more potential.
I doubt they were in a rush to remove Tierney from the list as
he seems to get good domestic appointments and a steady enough
official. But I'm not sure he was likely to go much further on
international level so understandable if he chose to focus
elsewhere.

Took the words out of my mouth, surely a case of jumping ship or
being asked to do so before the inevitable. Neither FIFA
material and lucky to have even been considered as others have
said.
Tierney is only 41 so not sure where he goes from here. I think
most of us had him down for the FA Cup Final in the next couple
of years, especially being on FIFA. Will probably still happen
but his profile is suddenly reduced somewhat. Maybe wants to
spend more time hairdressing again? 🤪 Credit to him
though, he could have easily gone on foreign trips still as 4th
official or VAR as a jolly.
Refreshing to see a shake up of our FIFA refs in this way, stops
“dead wood” lingering there indefinitely and blocking the
possible promotion of more deserving cases. Pity they don’t seem
to consider doing this in SG1 and SG2.
