keep this a bit more up to date this season. The League Cup
group stage kicks off this weekend so below are the first sets
of appointments.

Thank you for these. Quite a few unfamiliar referees in action
here. I am disappointed that the referee for the match I shall
be attending is one I have seen before and, unusually, thought
quite poor. This was some years ago, however, (February 2016) in
a Development match at Blackburn between Berwick Rangers and
Cowdenbeath, if memory serves. I may have to revise my opinion -
I hope he gives me reason to do so!
At least there might be a reason to endure the seats at Rugby
Park the following evening.

These early season league cup games can be subject to lots of
change (more so than normal league weekends) so I’ll post the
next appointments when they come out tomorrow. I’ll then leave
it until Friday night/Saturday morning before updating the post
with any changes, instead of the steady stream of changes that
there has been this week.

Thank you Arabref!
Does anyone know who has been promoted to Class 1 and who has
left the list (we know about David Munro and Craig Napier)?
There is the nothing on the SFA webpage - so far - and I've
trawled through the Facebook pages of the local Referees
Associations and found Lewis Hogarth and Cameron Stirling
(Edinburgh RA) have been promoted to Class 1 (Congratulations to
both!).
'Back in the day' it didn't warrant huge press coverage but
usually the Sunday papers had a few lines on promotions and
deletions from the Grade 1 list.

Josh Hay is another promotion to Category 1 (Ayrshire RA) and
going by appointments so far Connor Ashwood also appears to have
been promoted. It’s a bit harder to find out who has left the
list, but there are already a few names that are missing off the
appointments so far so most likely there have been changes.
It used to be possible to search the list of referees on the old
extranet system but since the move to COMET last summer that is
not possible. Once the first few weeks of league games have
passed it should be a bit easier to work out then.
