Premier League Referee Appointments Week 10
Honorary Patron Keith Hackett on last week’s refereeing and a list of the officials appointed for Week 10 of the Premier League:
A number of referees delivered good performances in week 9. Craig Pawson at Newcastle, Mike Dean at Tottenham v Manchester City, new Referee on the block Andy Madley, Chris Kavanagh in the Liverpool v Leicester City game and ‘Mr Reliable’ Martin Atkinson at Sheffield United v West Ham United.
I would have had no hesitation in filling the first five games in Week 10 with these referees. Reward yes, building confidence which is a vital component of a referee.
Kavanagh and Dean are both out on games; Kavanagh at Everton v Leeds United and Dean referees West Bromwich Albion v Sheffield United.
I am disappointed that Martin Atkinson (who is in top form) is sentenced to a weekend at Stockley Park in the VAR seat,
He is VAR on Saturday for West Bromwich Albion v Sheffield United with an 8pm kick-off and the following day he is covering the 2pm game between Southampton and Manchester United.
After officiating his Saturday game at West Brom, Mike Dean is holding up the board on Sunday as the Fourth Official for Chelsea v Tottenham. Paul Tierney is the appointed referee for that London derby.
Finally, Michael Oliver gets another run out in the middle and David Coote will be his Fourth Official on the Arsenal v Wolves game on Sunday. This gives them the opportunity to discuss why they both overturned their accurate penalty kick decisions which they each changed after viewing the pitchside monitor.
