No, won't him either .....plenty of quality referees in the Premiership.
Looks as if he is replacing Howard Webb, who resigned 11 days ago.

Not sure it is that good news or that there are plenty of good referees in the Premier League. I'm not his biggest fan (think that is the reflection he gets when he looks in the mirror), but this is giving the refereeing profession a bad image at a time when it is more and more difficult to attract referees at the grass roots level.
Surely the difficulty in having video reviews in football is the more fluid nature of the sport? In cricket, the action effectively stops after each ball, so a video review is easy. In rugby union, it's not quite as clear cut, but the ref does use video replays to review certain incidents but the play has stopped. In football the play could conceivably continue for several/many minutes without the ball going out of play or a foul being committed.
