Referees

[Keith]

In the 'Cambridge match day thread', I. passed on info about that game's referee, that had been sent to me...

We’ve got Robert Madden in charge on Saturday for the Cambridge match. He’s one of the top Scottish refs. He's already done World Cup, Nations League, Champion’s League, Europa Conference League, Greek League and loads of International matches all over the world including England v Wales!

Given 24 yellows and 3 reds in eight matches so far this season in the EFL.

Responding to. this, Sakhalin Shrimp wrote...

Sorry to hijack your thread Keith but Mrs Sak has asked me how refs are allocated to a game and I have no idea, anybody know?

Well, apparently...

"Referees are appointed by the PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials Ltd) who also select the match observers. Their section of the ELF website gives a lot of info about what goes on, training, etc. and is necessary viewing for any serious football supporter".

Fill your boots Mrs Sak!

Thanks Keith. I’ve forwarded the link to Mrs Sak as she’s plenty of time to study the site whilst recovering from her op
