       yesterday at West Brom.

       Credit to Webb. The appointments this year are a breath of fresh
       air after Hackett and to an extent Riley. Hackett, for all his
       bluster, was dreadful at forward planning and getting fresh
       blood into PL, hence why we ended up with 6 FIFA refs at one
       point and very few refs were ever given big games, leading to
       problems when they finished.
       Webb is clearly really trying to forward plan and spread
       experience around the group. Although you have to expect that,
       if you give people a go, it can occasionally backfire, it hasn’t
       so far and it’s for THE GREATER GOOD of not over using certain
       refs and thinking of the future/injuries.

       I watched most of the Villa v Newcastle game on TNT and thought
       John Brooks had a very good game. Firm but fair was how I saw it
       and yellow cards seemed correct. One flag for offside from Akil
       Howson seemed mighty early in the present-day circumstances with
       VAR, and I was a bit surprised that John went along with it and
       pulled play up immediately. It was probably as well that
       Howson's flag proved correct...just. A 2nd goal for Villa was
       ruled out for offside and VAR confirmed the decision after a
       lengthy delay which seemed right.... again just. Good to see 9
       minutes added time at the end in view of the stoppages in the
       2nd half. A good night for John in my view.

       I'd agree with all of that. I can only deem the early flag by AH
       as a lapse in concentration. Not sure how many he has done with
       VAR but it is obviously still fairly new to him.
       A tough spot for the referee but ultimately I also feel he
       should have let it carry on, albeit throwing AH under the bus so
       to speak who would have been standing statue like as play
       carried on. Given VAR could then review the whole play though,
       the correct thing to do in law/procedurally.

       Hackett stunted the development of officials when he had his
       grubby mittens on the PGMOL, yet he has the perverse knack of
       making ridiculous comments on the current group who he claims
       aren’t fit.
       As Clattenburg said when he jumped ship, the SG1 under Hackett
       was too old, knackered and performing poorly.
       Fast forward to today, we have got at least 10-15 of the current
       SG1 who would be able to handle the big matches, and they are
       now being shared around.
       If we didn’t have those options now, and given Oliver has been
       missing for over a month, things would have been very tricky.
