Lots of fun and games in this weeks set compared to the last few
Vanilla ones.
Why give Pawson the big game now when he's been great all season
and now is going through a rough patch, and he was VAR for the
Manchester Derby! Make of that what you will.
Salisbury for us for the 2nd time ever is a treat, ive always
liked him, Hallam's debut could be fun with Wolves unbeaten in 4
and City winless in 4! Royalty in yellow at the Cottage seems
unnecessary for such a fixture!

That’s a more interesting set of appointments. I like it.
Standout is a debut for Farai Hallam at the Ethiad which I think
is very well deserved based off what I’ve seen of him this
season.
A nice 5:30 Saturday Evening game for Salisbury on the south
coast.
Bramall with a live Saturday lunchtime game as well.
No surprise, to me, that Gillett gets Newcastle v Villa but I am
surprised that Pawson gets Arsenal v Man Utd.

No disrespect but I’m not impressed with Pawson having such a
big game , at times he gets flustered and is easily swayed .
That said I hope he has a good game though. Hallam is a
surprising appointment .

Delighted to get Oliver at Fulham as always….👍
Hallam with his debut, and not a bad place to get it either.
Pawson with the big game at the Emirates, and despite reports
from posters on here suggesting he’s had a blip recently, he has
the experience and talent to deliver a good performance.
Dallison with another PL outing, he is probably in the queue for
promotion next season along with Nelson.

Just to clarify, are you suggesting that our game v Brighton
shouldn’t be handled by someone like Oliver?

Not a bad set of appointments, there should be some good tests
for a couple which is finally good to see!
Clear to see that Robinson isn’t a favourite and seems to be
frozen out at the moment which must be disappointing for him
especially after his first season.

I just think personally they could've spread the fun to that
fixture too. I just think it shouldn't be the most challenging
of games and therefore considering Oliver is more or less
guaranteed to have a game next Wednesday in the Champions League
final matchday a rest would be better than being in the middle
on Saturday. Especially when theres referees like Robinson who
have been out of the middle for what will be multiple weeks come
the end of the week, the love needs to be spread, not
concentrated on one source!

I'm sure he has done few PL matches.
