I had it in my head Kav had already had the FA Cup final but
that was of course as VAR not ref so...
2. Simon Hooper will get the FA Cup final and wear purple for it
or Kav will get it and wear black!!

I think realistically the FA Cup Final appointment is going to
be given to Kavanagh, Bankes or Hooper. Of course events during
the rest of the season may determine who but I have chosen
Kavanagh because a UEFA Elite referee not having officiated in
their major domestic Cup competition I think sits badly with the
FA

Seen the highlights and she was very firm and correct in issuing
a red for DOGSO in the 16th min.

Hi all, hope you had a wonderful Xmas and new years. Here are my
5.
1. Peter Bankes to get the Carabao Cup final, assisted by Blake
Antrobus.
2. Chris Kavanagh to referee the fa cup final
3. Tony Harrington or Simon Hooper to get championship play off
final.
4. Tom Kirk & Matt Donohue to continue to get games, with both
being promoted at of the season. With others top sg2s making
debuts such as Ricardo & Whitestone.
5. Alex James to be promoted at end of season while continuing
to get a game a month in the prem. Scholes & West to retire end
