Pawson and Bankes both with the same side two games in a row. A
long time between them but still.

So it’s Graham Scott in yellow on Saturday for us!
Simon Hooper finally with a big game. Well deserved.
And we have Michael Oliver!!! 👍
Bobby Madley back in the PL appointments as well.
Along with Barrott and Allison… SG2 soon?

I don't especially see that matters, especially for Bankes where
we're going back to August - that was a time of a different
Prime Minister and a different Monarch! Both the clubs and
referee have had other games in the mean time.
It's curious that Bankes got two games in the last double
weekend/midweek round and has the same again but nothing in
between!
I thought Sunday-Tuesday turnarounds were generally avoided,
apart from over Christmas etc. Pawson's schedule seems
unnecessary.

Fair play to Hooper. I wasn't convinced he'd ever get to this
sort of level but seems to have been refereeing well this season
so it's good appointments are being spread out and done on
merit, and other officials are being given the chance to
develop.
I think England's VAR appointment on Liverpool V Man City is
crazy after weekend just gone. It feels like an avoidable
problem waiting to happen.
When did Bobby Madley last officiate at a PL game? It might be
very recently for all I know! And is that Rob Jones' first PL
VAR appointment since the 2020/21 season?
Marriner does not seem to have had so many on-field appointments
this season.
And Oliver gets Fulham!!!

Well deserved top appointment for Hooper, maybe he should of
been considered for the shiny fifa badge at the end of the year
with all the refs stepping down but he doesn’t seem to be in
consideration for it which is a bit of a surprise

I'd be extremely worried if Allison was promoted to SG2 anytime
soon, if his performance at the weekend was anything to go by!

A Google search suggests Simon Hooper is 40 so I'd think that
would rule him out of consideration for FIFA.

No complaints with this set, everyone bar Marriner gets
something in this round.
Particular highlights for me are Hooper with the biggest match
of his PL career to date (in terms of club status), Gillett with
West London derby, Brooks with South Coast derby and Salisbury
on Friday Night Football.
I've said it before, but I will repeat myself - the appointments
this year have generally been much, much fairer than previous
years. They're still overusing Oliver and Taylor (and this
recent weekend with Oliver doing Sunday-Tuesday being poor
planning), but everyone is getting a match at least once every
2-3 weeks now (except Scott who has only done one match so far -
winding down to retirement?), and the lesser experienced
referees are being given a chance.
I know a lot of experience left the group in the summer, but
that perhaps was one of the best things to happen to SG1 for a
while as it has freshened things up and allowed the likes of
Hooper and Madley to make real progress in terms of their
appointments this year.

He's missed the age cut off by some distance.

Excellent and completely deserved appointment for Hooper. As
other users have mentioned, Google says he is 40 years old which
is of course why he wasn't considered for FIFA badge.
Nevertheless, I hope he can go on to be a reliable pair of hands
for big games like the one he is now appointed to. In terms of
appointments, maybe he will take a similar path to Tierney in
the last few seasons? Also, I remember watching Hooper in his
first PL season and I honestly thought he was never ready for
the PL, both fitness and performance wise. What a turnaround,
and he is now rewarded and rightly so.
Good to see TV games now being distributed around a bit more, we
have seen Harrington and now Salisbury get TV games which I
don't think would have happened last year.
Brammall can also be happy to get some games under his belt,
especially considering in previous seasons some newly promoted
refs hadn't even made their debut at this stage of the season!
I'm liking the appointments this season so far, still think we
need one or two more refs to step up and show they can be given
the biggest games regularly alongside Oliver and Taylor, but
this is a good start with Hooper.
