       The debate can be applied across all the levels in relation to
       ERDP. I suspect there will be a sizeable amount of officials
       disgruntled by the opportunities that have been afforded to this
       group over others who have worked over time up the levels. Lewis
       Smith's several elevated appointments this year and last notably
       the EFL Cup Last 16 appointment.
       For arguments sake this summer Backhouse and Kitchen were
       promoted to SG2 so likely the best on the NL. 4 ERDP refs were
       realigned to SG2 (Barrott, Welch, Allison and Nield). 3 out of
       the 4 now have a PL game do you really think Backhouse or
       Kitchen would stand a chance of a PL appointment this season, i
       dont.

       I think more of an issue with Gillett as the Forest V Spurs game
       hasn't happened yet so obviously we don't know if there will be
       any controversy etc from it.
       There are a lot of games at this time of year with all the PL
       rounds and cup matches so I think Brooks doing Man City again is
       more understandable. There are probably half a dozen or so refs
       who will have refereed Everton/Man City since. There are several
       PL refs who don't officiate Everton and a number who you
       wouldn't expect to get the game at the moment for various
       reasons (e.g. England, Scott, Bramall, Harrington, Bond). You
       could have considered Hooper instead for instance but he only
       refereed Man City 3 days before Brooks and there was probably a
       lot more controversy from that game with the non-advantage and
       so on.

       When I was 14 (many many moons ago) I went on the French
       exchange. There was one pupil who I was convinced was 26 (he
       must have been younger) who kept repeating the school year as he
       kept failing his exams. It is the only analogy I can draw upon
       to explain the position of Graham Scott in SG1.

       A process that has now made its way down to L4 promotions.

       The development pathway is supposed to be bringing through good
       young referees, quicker than normal. Something welch isn’t. She
       has been around a long time is the wrong side of 40 so won’t get
       on the fifa list for mens football. Just another decision to
       satisfy the diversity brigade

       You can never right a wrong with another wrong. I suspect a few
       time served referees are annoyed that they have been overlooked
       by the desire to be more diverse. Discrimination to remove
       discrimination is wrong and the assessment and promotion process
       must be clear and transparent if we are to maintain quality and
       not dilute standards.
