       I agree about Kavanagh. He won’t be out for another week I’d be
       pretty certain of that. I don’t think he’ll get thrown into the
       major spotlight so quickly so maybe a lower key game for him.
       Regarding which other referees might get a PL outing, after
       today’s performance in the steel city derby I think Josh Smith
       has to be back in consideration again. He’s been touching SG1
       for so long now and a PL game would be deserved. I think we
       could see Lewis Smith a little bit more regularly between now
       and the end of the season as he’s had a good year in the
       championship and sounded like he had a decent game at Stamford
       Bridge.
       Apart from that I think it’ll be the usual officials getting
       games every now and then - Kirk, Hallam, Kitchen and L Smith.
       The other 3 in the supplementary group : Ricardo, Toner and
       Herczeg, are not quite PL ready yet but I think they’ll continue
       to be pushed.

       We don't know yet whether Kav has a Thursday night game in
       Europe. Europa or Conference League. If he does that would rule
       him out of a Saturday PL game anyway.

       I am sure another visit to the continent with his regular team
       would boost his confidence if he is away again midweek, like
       last week, then Fulham v Spurs might be a good game for him and
       a chance to wear his purple shirt.
