this may be a dumb question, but how are the ref appointed?
is it purely random? or is there a committee that selects the refs into specific games?

[notts ref]

Committe, wether they deserve to still be in a job after this seasons appointments is debateable, but yes they are specificly appointed.

Its done on which county you referee on, what teams you have connections to etc etc.

Liverpool and Arsenal should be a fierce game between two rivals. lets hope Martin Atkinson has this one under control, he's a good ref so he should.

4 great appointments really, all the games should be fine lol.
