       Would love to see Kassai get it or the 3rd/4th game - apart from
       the Man City game, where Bognár called a pen wrong & therefore
       Kassai called a pen wrong (official in Hungary as to which of
       them made the call & confirmed by the appointments since then)
       he's had a great season.  43 games in total, 19 in the NB1, 3 in
       the NB2, 19 in the Saudi League to gain VAR experience amongst
       the 43.  Only 1 really bad error (yes there have been other
       errors but not major ones) and the bad error was called by one
       of his team and not him, although as ref he takes responsibility
       for it. I know it is doubtful though, thanks Tamás!  :-\

       Lahoz would be my odds-on, even if Spain is adjacent to
       Portugal. Though I haven't looked at the appointments for the
       qualifiers, what's to stop someone being appointed 48 hours
       after a previous game? That's "standard" if you're in the Europa
       League on a Thursday & then back in your country for a Saturday.
       Otherwise, if England lose then I'd think Kuipers. And if the
       Spain/Portugal neighbour relationship is an issue then Zwayer.
       With others away in Poland for the U20, the options (with the 48
       hour gap) are limited. Kassai would be a shoe-in were it not for
       his team's most recent form. And if England do go through, would
       UEFA appoint Collum rather than Lahoz? This is the most
       fundamental issue - perception!

       Totally agree. Bognár let him down very badly, like Vad did in
       the Euro's 2012. His 2 AR's have been performing well but he
       does seem to have problems with his AARs letting him down.  I
       hope Berke will replace Bognár on his team, which would also
       provide Berke with some valuable experience. Very talented young
       ref as well.

       I think that Zwyer was the other possibility who refereed with
       VAR in CL.

       sort of thing. Some have suggested hategan but again he didn't
       do CL knockout game and I don't think has much VAR experience -
       perhaps someone without much VAR use is more likely for 3rd/4th
       play-off.

       What's your suggestion for the 3.0pm at Goodwood?  ;D

       I'm not fully convinced about Mallenco's appointment - it seems
       a bit too sentimental. He's been refereeing for a long time but
       I'm not sure that his international career has been especially
       distinguished. I think the only major tournament he's refereed
       at was the 2010 World Cup where I thought he was pretty poor
       (Germany V Serbia anyone?) - I don't think he did the Champions
       League final and I don't remember him doing too many CL
       semi-finals, and I also don't think he's done a CL knockout
       stage game this season.

       Readingfan....I concur with your comments. Sentiment, good bye
       present, probably has played a part but what it really tells us
       is the level of seriousness with which this hybrid competition
       is taken.

       I am intrigued by the appointment of Michael Fabbri as VAR for
       the third-place play-off.  At one point in the season that has
       just finished he got into trouble (and may even have been given
       a brief suspension) for perceived failings in his role as VAR in
       Serie A.  But I suppose the universally acknowledged giants of
       VAR are currently deployed elsewhere.

       Good for Mallenco. He's one of my favourite UEFA referees that I
       think is generally a safe pair of hands that doesn't stop/start
       games too much or flash the cards. Shame to see him go really.

       I think a very fair appointment, he has been an elite referee
       for a number of years and is a good send off for him.
