From what I can see only Robinson and Tierney without a PL
middle over the festive period . Good appointment for Harrington
on Sunderland vs Leeds , happy with Bramhall for us ( Man Utd vs
Wolves )

Good to see Gillett back, and he's one of four to get 2 matches
in this set, along with Jones, Kavanagh and Harrington.
Darren England has probably the most eye catching fixture among
these appointments with Arsenal v Villa, though I quite like the
look of Gillett's second fixture (Sunderland v City), and
Attwell on Chelsea v Villa.

Still no Bond, it is getting quite concerning now.
Seem like good appointments all round, will compare them with my
predictions later on.

Congrats to Alistair Nelson, first PL appointment I believe and
a decent one.

It has to be said, these appointments make absolutely zero
sense.
Gillett gets 2 huge games yet he hasn't refereed in 7 weeks, he
should be in the Championship building up fitness again, he's
been quite literally, sat on his bum in a dark room for the last
month and a half.
Attwell has been poorer than poor on both VAR and on field in
recent weeks, yet he gets an absolutely huge fixture, completely
unwarranted appointment.
I'm annoyed at a very boring Hooper appointment for our game
against Wolves, I half thought we'd get someone a little more
exciting, and Kavanagh for the FIFTH time this season is
ridiculous.
Tierney is supposed to be re building his career after whatever
injury he had and he's not featured once, that just makes zero
sense, how's he supposed to build fitness back up.
On a more positive note, game of the season so far goes to
Darren England, delighted for him, especially after the videos
have gone viral of him on Tiktok messing with the sleepy
Brighton fan and the mascot at the weekend during his Warmup.
He's been excellent all season, his Merseyside Derby stands out
in particular.

Kavanagh and Harrington for us over the festive period with a
passing visit by Macho Man at Palace.
No surprise to see Taylor at Old Trafford given its Boxing Day.
England with the big game at Arsenal and a very decent fourth
official for Kirk too.

Congratulations to Alistair Nelson for his PL debut - shame I
won�t be at the game in person as I quite like Harrington.
Also the return of Gillett to SoL for the first time since
sending off Dan Neil against boro a couple of seasons ago. A
referee I�ve always liked so hoping he has an excellent game to
start the new year!

Some of the up and coming future stars getting a good run out as
4th Officials but no-one outside SG1 being given a little
Christmas present of a Premiership refereeing appointment.

Very underwhelmed by the appointments to our big fixtures over
the xmas period,
Certainly didnt expect Attwell or England.
Congrats to Nelson fir hus first premier league appointment.
Bankes and Barrott heading for the naughty step.
Good appointments for Harrington who is having a good season.
Merry Xmas to all officials and contributors here.
