       All Bramhall needs to do is look at Simon Hooper - knuckle down,
       work hard, take chances when they come

       Or change his name to Robert Madley. As I have said a few times
       the writing has been on the wall most of the season and Webb and
       co. couldn’t wait to get him back in the SG.
       I am sure some on here will rejoice but not me.

       Must be all that Yorkshire bias, tha knows...
       Dickie Bird will be joining SG1 next!!

       At 90 Bird probably fits the age criteria😂

       I think Robinson and R Madley will be promoted to SG1 and if
       they take a third it will be Smith I suspect. It appears that
       Bond has perhaps had an injury at an unfortunate time as he also
       seemed to be very much in the frame and perhaps he still is.
       I do not like R Madley's style of officiating, he always seems
       very keen on making it about himself, but I suspect he is a very
       competent technical referee and this accounts for his
       promotions. I guess he is now too old to regain a FIFA Badge but
       here's a prediction. In two or three years time he will be
       getting more top fixtures than his brother and I am sure, in
       time, the fates ( or the Yorkshire Fairy Godmother ) have
       decreed that they will both receive an FA Cup Final.

       Not sure if there is still an age limit for getting onto FIFA,
       but when there was it only applied to the initial joining.  If
       you "left" you could then come back after you were older than
       that age.  So as Bobby Madley was on before any age limit
       wouldn't apply to him.

       I might be in the minority and think Bobby Madley isn’t actually
       that bad, he is better than Bankes, Coote, Harrington and
       Salisbury for me.
       Not sure I agree on him getting another chance so quickly though

       What must Brammall be thinking given how few games he has had
       and yet again overlooked for an SG2 referee…..
       [/quote]
       Good game for Marriner. I'm a bit surprised at Bankes doing such
       a big game at this stage of the season. There's been a lot of
       talk about Oliver and if him not doing Newcastle games would
       affect other appointments but I think it was suggested Coote
       didn't referee Nottingham Forest but he's got the Everton game.
       [/quote]
       I know it becomes difficult but I agree in the Bankes point
       Peter Bankes- on a match with directly affects Everton
       Michael Oliver- 40 on a Liverpool match
       David Coote- directly affects Nottingham Forest
       Rob Jones- Newcastle match? Affects Liverpool
       Michael Salisbury- VAR on a Man United game- affects Liverpool
       Also, Ian Hussin (Liverpool fan) on A Man United match and Dan
       Cook (doesn’t officiate   Manchester sides) on Newcastle
       Poor appointing with just two weeks to go. Yes they are
       professional and it won’t affect the match officials but Last
       thing you want is a referee making a hugely controversial
       decision, which happens to directly benefit the team they
       support.

       It is about opinion and I too am not a fan of his style.
       However, he did not leave PL list (or FIFA) due to ability or
       performance, so once he had worked through his period of
       pennance, one assumes his ability has not suddenly vanished and
       therefore he we would be returned to SG1. It will be interesting
       to see the shake up once the season is finally over.

       Robert Madley seems to heavily divide opinion on here which is
       of course the name of this site so that’s fine. However, to call
       him a rookie ref is some distance from the truth.
       I believe Mr Madley has refereed around 100 EPL matches and
       spent 4 or 5 years on the SG1 referee list.
       To refer to someone of that experience a rookie is either not
       knowing your referees or simply ignorant to even check.
       An interesting set of fixtures. As has been stated I do wonder
       what Mr Bramall makes of his lack of appointments this season
       [/quote]
       I'd say the opinion on Bobby Madley is fairly in agreement, most
       of us of here don't rate him but I'm happy to be proved
       wrong/listen to other opinions. To clarify my point, I've edited
       my post, the term 'rookie' was in general about how Fulham
       always seem to the test-bed for SG2 promotion potential, of
       which these are usually rookie (at PL level). Obviously in this
       case Madley isn't a rookie in that respect, so let's hope he's
       able to start to prove me wrong on Saturday!

       Why is Peter Bankes at West Ham? He did their last home game,
       where he missed a stonewall handball, just two weeks ago.
       Ridiculous.

       Assuming R Madley does attain SG1 status it will be interesting
       to see if anyone else is asked to 'surrender' their FIFA Badge
       so he may receive one. In a plot worthy of a  paperback Western,
       maybe his brother will relinquish his Sheriff's Badge to him or
       it may be that he will be appointed when Anthony Taylor steps
       down from international duties.
