Considering Whitestone is head and shoulders above most of the
NG that would be a good appointment.

Classy Official is Whitestone - calm, composed and incredibly
fit. Why he hasn't been promoted to SG2 yet is beyond me?
However, his occupation maybe the reason for this, is anyone
able to shed any light.

make him the longest serving referee inheriting that accolade
from Mike Jones.

If we are talking about PL refs (Mike Jones) as well as NL refs,
then Mike Dean (1997) must be the longest serving of the top
flight refs. However I am not suggesting for a moment that the
authorities will appoint him to oversee Bury v Bristol Rovers in
the Final, will they?! ;D

He has a specialist position in the Met, not the sort of role
that comes up often & the general assumption is that he has
chosen to remain in it as opposed to climb the referee ladder
further.

Absolutely spot on. Bit like Paul Taylor all those years ago,
Dean has decided to stick to his job rather than take a risk at
SG2. Though from someone who came from that background I wonder
why he doesn't have a go, certainly good enough!!

I think he is possibly the one & only ref that everyone on this
site actually agrees on, which is a minor miracle & says a lot
about his refereeing. I can understand his decision to
concentrate primarily on his Met role though, my view is that he
is probably as good a copper as he is a referee and brings a lot
to the Met, whilst gaining a lot of satisfaction from it as
well.

So the dream Final - Portsmouth v Sunderland - and a fairly full
house assured I would assume.
