       Yes, quite correct AT, and in addition Friend (Man City),
       Attwell (Man Utd), Atkinson (Liverpool) and Taylor (Arsenal)
       also take charge of the same team inside three games. Surely,
       The PGMOL can make a 'better fist' of their appointing criteria
       and avoid such duplication !!  ::)

       They need to learn a lesson from their Scottish
       counterparts...Bobby Madden's appointment to this Sunday's Old
       Firm is his first Celtic match since.....well, actually since
       the last time they played on the 17th March!
       I do remember Howard Webb (circa 2005-6) referring Liverpool v
       Arsenal and Arsenal v Man Utd in consecutive weeks.
       (Edit: I was way out, it was the 07/08 season.  He refereed
       Liverpool v Arsenal on 28/10/07 (MW 11) and Arsenal v Man Utd on
       03/11/07 (MW12).
       [/quote]
       I think that week was when Webb really cemented himself as
       England's top referee at the time - the 'big' games had not gone
       well for referees so far that season. You'd had Rob Styles
       infamously on Liverpool v Chelsea and Mark Clattenburg on the
       Merseyside derby, and Mike Dean had a poor day at the office for
       Man Utd V Chelsea.
       I often think too much emphasis is put on referees having the
       same teams within a short period of time. If there is a big
       hangover from the previous game then it is obviously not wise
       into rushing into having them referee that team again but I can
       understand, for example, why the PGMO wanted Martin Atkinson on
       both Everton V Liverpool and Liverpool V Tottenham. If it hadn't
       gone to him then maybe it would have gone to Anthony Taylor who
       did Tottenham V Arsenal on the same weekend Atkinson refereed
       Liverpool, or maybe Andre Marriner or Michael Oliver who also
       refereed Tottenham/Liverpool in the seven days prior to the
       aforementioned two games. I'm not sure it makes much difference
       whether there is a gap of three weeks, four weeks or six weeks
       in the majority of cases.

       > Blood a young and inexperienced referee in a game where palace
       aren’t safe. Imagine he gives a soft penalty to Huddersfield
       that makes palace not win and both Southampton And Burnley both
       win. Wrong time for someone such as Robert Jones to be put in.
       To me you need a game like Leicester v Bournemouth to get him or
       someone else from SG2 in. Or you are very certain that palace
       are safe!

       What if Lee Probert gives a soft penalty?
       [/quote]
       It goes down as a mistake by an experienced referee and whereas
       if for example someone like Jones gave it people will say he is
       not ready for the PL and it could possibly stick with him for
       the rest of his career. If you aren’t good enough to be deemed a
       PL ref at the start of the season then they shouldn’t be put in
       a relegation battle game
