English Officials at the World Cup

Post by Ashingtonclaret46 » Thu May 19, 2022 5:05 pm

Just seeing the news that our top 2 referees have both been selected for the World Cup alongside ARs Simon Bennett, Gary Beswick, Stuart Burt and Adam Nunn. None of our officials selected for VAR duties.

Congrats to all!

Also seen there are 3 female referees named on the list

Be interesting to see how the Qataris react to them wearing referee attire

With Dean and Atkinson retiring, who are our top 2 referees now? Oliver maybe? And cannot think of the other.

No the new breed aren't impressing are they, some funny comments on this site regarding our current men in the middle, brought a smile to me anyway.https://www.90min.com/posts/all-the-cur ... 20More%20

Shouldn’t be any going. Simply not good enough.

Won’t be any better in the future either due to VAR relieving them of their responsibilities.

English officials are even too corrupt for uefa!
