Chelsea vs Leicester Graham Scott in Traffic!!

Sky Sports reporting Graham Scott is stuck on the M40 which
hasn't moved for hours and it looks like he won't make it in
time to start the warm up. They said Oli Langford will take
charge of his first premier league match. Don't know what people
make of him but don't think he is a great referee when I have
see him. Could be an interesting afternoon!!!!

It's confirmed - Oli Langford will be taking charge of the game.
I thought referees stayed in a hotel prior to a match and made
their way to the stadium as a team, but clearly this is not the
case.

Exactly what I was thinking. He was on VAR last night so why not
stay in London?

Scott has arrived so why not delay the KO for 15 mins or so and
get him to warm up!! Total unnecessary pressure on Langford now!
With 18 PL referees surely they could have had one from
yesterday acting as 4th official. Absolute total shambles!

It's a great opportunity for Langford, but also a lot of
pressure. IMO, there should be SG1 referees as 4th officials
for televised games, and a minimum of SG2 as 4th official for
non-televised games. I know more officials are being used for
VAR, but there should be enough for this to happen, rather than
risk someone making their PL debut on TV at one of the big 6.

I think I'll just watch the cricket and wait for the forum to
implode :)

If someone is at Stockley Park on Saturday night, you’d
certainly think they should be able to get to Stamford Bridge
for Sunday afternoon.
Kavanagh, Pawson and Hooper were all VAR at SP yesterday. Surely
one of those could have been FO initially today?
Who is AVAR now? The same as earlier game? Mike Dean could be
kept busy today. Hope Langford delays the whistle for close
offsides and so on.

I would assume Robathan, as Graham Scott has now arrived at
Stamford Bridge.

A solid and competent first half performance in a very sterile
(boring)game.

Thought the officials travelled together to avoid this
happening?
