I think that tells you all you need to know about his work at
the Etihad yesterday...

Wasn’t expecting to see Will Finnie on the massive game at
Spotland hope it goes well for him, Scott Jackson for us at
Altrincham happy with that

Finnie with the massive game - I think he is well deserving of
it and will most definitely be in Kevin Friend's mind for next
season.
Brooks in League 1 is a representation of his work yesterday at
Manchester City.

Feel it would have been a better idea to have a more experienced
official as Finnie's Fourth official. There are experienced NL
officials as 4th Officials on L1 dead rubbers who could have
swapped IMO as this is one of the weekend's key matches.

Let’s not forget Brooks has been sidelined with injury recently
so it could be looked at this is a game for his fitness, rather
than a demotion for the VAR decision yesterday.

Agree. Far worse has happened this season without an official
being punished by being put out in league 1. It's a bit of an
assumption to make!
I definitely think it's a getting back up to speed thing!

[/quote] he had a champ game last weekend so at minimum you
would expect another champ game
