       A good Lancashire derby for Mr Kitchen for a game which would
       normally go to SG1?. Otherwise, fairly standard appointing

       It would appear that major penalty area decision errors don’t
       count when doing the appointments. There must be a number of
       frustrated SG2 referees wondering why the obvious double
       standards.

       Promotion, retention and demotion is not based on one bad
       performance.  If your theory is valid, we would have no SG1 to
       do PL matches.
       Get over it.  Errors and bad performance will continue to
       happen.

       Kitchen with another big appointment. A potential trial PL game
       soon if he passes one of the stiffest tests around in the EFL.

       From the same officials is unacceptable at this level.

       I really do like Kitchen as a referee. Lets a higher degree of
       contact which makes for some very watchable games. Remember Hull
       v Ipswich in April which was a very big game (7th v 2nd) for a
       first year SG2 but he handled it sensationally. Been one of the
       most consistent SG2 refs for the last two seasons and counting
       and a PL trial game would be well deserved

       You're going to have to elaborate, I think.

       I think after today’s game Mr Kitchen may be getting a weekend
       of holding the boards for someone else. I don’t think I’ve ever
       seen a referee let as much go in a derby game. Missed a baker
       red in the first 5 minutes, Laurent second yellow in the second
       half and I’m as bewildered at anyone as to how he gave a
       Blackburn free kick for Flemming being hauled to the ground.
       Would have loved an SG1 to stamp their authority on that game,
       but I don’t think Mr Kitchen did enough to warrant his
       appointment today. Both sets of fans disappointed with how the
       game was refereed.

       Not seen the game so wont disagree but as previously said
       ‘letting stuff go’ is his style. Whenever I’ve watched Mr
       Kitchen he does let more contact go which admittedly may not be
       the best way for a derby game. This game is historically one of
       the more fiery derbies so is much more difficult to referee.
       I do think that Mr Kitchen did enough to warrant his appointment
       though. A very consistent performer at this level for this
       season and last.
