Doesnt look promising for Attwell being paired with a Polish
team when Brooks is in action in a higher profile game at the
same time.. Unless theyre sending Attwell around as his accent
is easy to understand. Id be surprised if Bankes has overtaken
him already

This time of year it's possible he's on holiday. I have no idea
if he is or isn't!

It will be interesting to see if any of these match officials
get an appointment the following weekend. A direct flight from
Almaty to Heathrow is over nine hours - further than a flight to
/ from Florida. Monday might be an option, but Friday, Saturday
and Sunday should be ruled out if there is any regard for the
health and wellbeing of Pro Ref's (tm) employees.

Last season when they were there, (might have been the season
before) the overall journey took around 20+ hours including the
travel from the hotel to the airport and then travel back home
after the flight... The ruling is they can't referee within 48
hours, no similar rule for AR's, 4O or VAR and only applies to
refereeing a game, they can still be 4O, AR or VAR within the 48
hours and the fact that they would have been travelling for 20+
of those 48 hours is not even considered - utterly ridiculous.

Thats a very good appointment for Jarred Gillett, which seems
to have come out of nowhere, in terms of european appointments
in the past as a referee.
I wish him the best of luck for a very well deserved
appointment.
In terms of next FIFA AR for England, I have a feeling Antrobus
is being pushed for that.
