Nothing against Attwell and England but they need to be removed
now. They aren’t going anywhere fast but Attwell can stay as
Var. Not sure how England got on the list anyhow

Attwell hasn’t had any on field appointment in Europe for a fair
while now…
I think Bramall and probably Kirk will be the next owners of a
badge, despite Kirk not officially in SG1 yet, he will be soon
and a white badge will likely follow in 2027..

Totally forgot about karasev and Jordanovic. When was the last
time the latter had a game? Shame about Karasev the way he’s
been treated

Jovanovic last refereed a European Comp game in the UECL RO16
Sparta vs AZ
His last UCL game was in qualification, August 2025, Salzburg vs
Club Brugge
Karasev’s last european comp game was the UEL Playoff between
Napoli and Barcelona in 2022.
