I'm a tad surprised at Tim Robinson's appointment, Palace v
Leicester, as there is a lot riding on the result at the bottom
of the PL and there will be a lot of interest in Roy's return to
Selhurst Park and whether he can help to get the home side their
first PL win of 2023. However I wish Tim & team all the best and
hope they have a good day at SP.

Both these two are over white badge age so seems a bit pointless
unless you are happy to replace Andre and Graham Scott who have
had very little game time this season?

I think Robinson should have been promoted a couple of seasons
ago so happy to see him hopefully get it this season and he
should still get at least 7 or 8 seasons before he even
considers retirement so cant moan about that and Bond is a good
safe pair of hands in the championship so deserves to also be
promoted

Some fairly chunky mileage claims this weekend!!
Regarding Hooper, I think he is following a similar path to what
happened with Wiley.
Wiley missed out on FIFA like Hooper has, but all the
indications are that Hooper could be a very very strong official
who picks up these big games regularly, without the need for the
likes of Oliver to be summoned all the time.
No mistake, Wiley was a fantastic official and no one can
emulate his unflappable style.

Oh and Robert Jones involved with Leeds again! He must have a
gold plated parking space!

Great game for Hooper. I don't think many would have predicted
him to get Man City V Liverpool at the start of the season. A
good game for England too.
It's certainly looking very likely that Robinson and Bond will
be promoted. There's a fair amount riding on their games too -
it's not as if they're just mid-table end of season affairs. It
will be interesting if anyone else is promoted. I guess it
partly depends on if anyone comes off the list.
Who's the third oldest referee on SG1 after Scott and Marriner?
We've seen quite a few retirements over last two years but after
Scott/Marriner stop (whenever that might be) it could
potentially be a while before any more gaps open up if everyone
continues until a similar age.
I hope Marriner at least gets to 400 PL games as he spoke about
in the recent article - I think he maybe has 4 more to go to get
there?
Richard Keys has suggested he doesn't think Mike Dean will be
used again as a VAR. I'd normally take something Keys says with
a pinch of salt but they did work together at the World Cup so
he might have some knowledge on this one.

A first PL appointment for AR Sam Lewis?
He is assisting Scott at the King Power.

Great game for Hooper well deserved.
A long trip for Eltringham to hold the boards up in a yellow
top.
Happy to see Robinson and Bond with further premier league games
perhaps a sign for next season.
Not surprised to see Madley at Stamford Bridge.
Scott not been a lucky mascot for us this season ( Stevenage
comes to mind, no probs with his performance that day ).
Jones returns to W Yorks to reclaim his parking spot.
Think re Marriner and Scott it will all depend on what their
bodies are telling them.
Scott seems to be used very sparingly by the pgmol over the past
few seasons.

Half-expected to see one of the top referees
(Oliver/Taylor/Gillett) at Bournemouth to stamp down on any
further Fulham bad behaviour, not sure if Peter Bankes is the
right appointment for this one, but it remains to be seen. I'm
sure Brighton have had Oliver a few times recently?
Great to see Simon Hooper getting a big game. Not sure if Darren
Bond is promotion material and perhaps fairly short-sighted at
his age. Tim Robinson on the other hand probably deserves his
chance now, but these potential promotions means they're making
Andre Marriner wait for his milestone somewhat unfairly.
No doubt Chris Kavanagh will be delighted to have Neil Swarbrick
as his VAR again after the last outing

Taylor then Pawson who are both 44 IIRC, then I'd imagine it's
Paul Tierney
