Big game for Sam in Ireland and a debut for Alex James, one of
our assistants with the most potential.
bmb, I’ll let you get your coloring pens out for your officials
as I don’t want to do too much coloring in this time - can’t be
letting my pens run out! 😁

First international VAR appointment for Paul Howard? Very well
deserved in my eyes.

Thats just incredibly weak officiating and a complete disregard
for the laws of the game to be honest.
