Didn't Donohue do Brentford in his last game too?

Yes, he did. Kirk also done Everton for his first game. Maybe
lazy appointing or they may have reasoning for it.

We (Everton) didn’t have Kirk before - his first PL game was
Burnley v Crystal Palace.
In at least 2 cases, we have referees taking charge of a team
they had incredibly recently, and in a few more instances, the
appointment is incredibly predictable.

It's also 2 days after he has Liverpool v Leeds - he could
surely have been given a Sunday game.

1-1 draw incoming - well the last 4 games he has done have ended
up as such! Not quick enough for me - we'd happily have him
every game!

I’m surprised we haven’t been given a trial official at Fulham
yet this season… usually we were the go to place for new
officials.
Perhaps the Lewis Smith trial last season which doesn’t go very
well for him v Villa torpedoed that for a while.

My mistake! I thought I saw a picture of Kirk with Pickford in a
bright green kit, must’ve been someone else!

I may be alone in this but I am confused how Josh Smith hasn’t
got a game in the PL. He had a few before his injury and seems
to have been overtaken by Kirk, Donohue and Kitchen.

Par for the course! I think there is a big sign hung up in PGMOL
Towers saying yellow shirts only at Dean Court!! Mr Webb may
wish to avoid me at conference 2026 having promised me purple at
conference 2025 and not even once... I shall be collecting a lot
of brand new unworn purple shirts at the end of the season!!

Robert Jones on 2 fourth official duties. Maybe he is on the
naughty step after his performance at Nottingham?
