       Good to see Graham Scott get an outing, maybe Missy BMB had a
       word somewhere?
       For once (please all make a note of this), can't complain about
       Fulham's appointments, the usually dependable Robinson at
       Bramhall Lane and Oliver at Forest. Oliver is a busy man, VAR in
       London at the weekend, then Nottingham on Tuesday and back to
       London on Wednesday?
       Very surprised to see Tierney back so soon and on a match that
       means a lot in the West Midlands.
       I raised an eyebrow to see Harrington with a north-east team as
       had assumed (wrongly) he would be precluded.
       Two good appointments for Gillett, three if you count the VAR.
       Don't agree he struggles as a VAR, I just think he's wasted
       there as he's a very good referee and has a good rapport/style
       of management with players. Clearly he'll be disappointed to
       have 3 appointments yet miss out on Fulham!
       Assume Josh Smith is injured judging by his disappearance for a
       while

       Happy with both of our appointments - how lovely to see Graham
       Scott get a PL middle. In my view he has been very poorly
       treated. Always been a steady ref in our games previously so
       pleased his eventual middle is with us.

       For the umpteenth time, Altrincham and Manchester are two
       completely separate places.

       Not to us 'cockneys/people from daan saaf' maybe? It is
       described as a town in Trafford, Greater Manchester, so whilst I
       totally accept your point, I can see why people continue to make
       these associations.

       assume,
       Hopefully the spray gun wont be required either.
       Agree with the way he has been treated.

       As has been said he has absolutely zero connection to Manchester
       City Football Club. He's a very experienced international
       referee who's integrity cannot be questioned, despite some very
       poor performances which unfortunately have favoured Man City in
       the past. However, Gillett on VAR is a Liverpool fan, that is a
       legitimate question to ask as to why he has this game.

       It is still very tedious when you get these ridiculous comments
       every single week, on a forum for referees, especially given
       that the postcode rule was abolished at least 8 years ago. The
       sort of boring comments you expect off of fans not people who
       are supposed to be referees.

       If Michael Oliver moved to Stockport would that preclude him
       from Manchester games in your opinion? Because that is basically
       what you are saying about Anthony Taylor. He is not a fan of,
       has not played for, nor been involved off the field at City or
       United
       Now please MOVE ON (politely screamed)
