       Carabo Cup Final Predictions
   DIR By: Matt1234

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Now we know who the finalists are for this season's Carabao Cup
       Final who do we think will be given the final.  Looking back at
       who has refereed it in the past and the fact that nobody who has
       refereed a Semi Final has refereed the final within the last 8
       Years my pick would be:
       Liverpool v Newcastle
       Referee: Andy Madley
       AR 1: Eddie Smart
       AR 2: Nick Greenhalgh
       FO: Sam Barrott
       Reserve Assistant: Steve Meredith
       VAR: Michael Salisbury
       AVAR: Matt Wilkes

       Referees who have not had the final before,(excluding referees
       who Cannot do Liverpool or Newcastle games and had a semi
       final:)
       Sam Barrott
       Darren Bond
       Thomas Brammall
       Darren England
       Tony Harrington
       Andy Madley
       Tim Robinson
       Michael Salisbury
       John Brooks and Simon Hooper havn't done the final but did do a
       semi so if they go against tradition then Brooks is a good bet
       Assistants that haven't done the final, (excluding assistants
       who can't referee Liverpool or Newcastle and did a semi final:)
       Natalie Aspinall
       Derek Eaton
       Nick Greenhalgh
       Akil Howson
       Steve Meredith
       Eddie Smart
       Craig Taylor
       Matt Wilkes
       Wade Smith hasn't done the final but did have a semi final
       appointment

       I don't think Andy Madley will be appointed. He's not had the
       best of seasons, particularly recently.
       Of the referee's listed on the previous post, I'd like Tony
       Harrington to be appointed.

       I’d still have a punt at Barrott… it seems clear that he is in
       line with Brooks to be the next heirs to the eventual
       Taylor/Oliver replacement and it would seem a big step in that
       direction for him to get this.
       Or, maybe the Championship play off final.

       I think it might be Darren England's turn to referee this Final.

       I'd like Tony to be appointed too. However, I think he's located
       too close to Newcastle to be given the chance this year (and
       yes, I know locations don't mean as much now as in past years),
       maybe next. I'd go with Sam Barrott, that is if they don't break
       with tradition and give it to John Brooks who's already had a
       semi final this year.

       If people are saying the general rule is whoever does a
       semi-final doesn’t do a final then I would probably say Sam
       Barrott is the favourite. Although a question I’d have is John
       Brooks wasn’t actually down to do Arsenal v Newcastle 1st leg -
       he ended up being a replacement for Pawson who I assume was a
       bit ‘under the weather’ - so could he still technically be a
       contender for the final?
       Anyway, my prediction would be…
       Ref - Sam Barrott
       ARs - Akil Howson and Steve Meredith
       4O - Tony Harrington
       Reserve AR - Nick Greenhalgh
       VAR - Michael Salisbury
       AVAR - Matthew Wilkes

       Did Oliver gets the EFL final at a relatively young age?
