Robbie Styles' first Int'l 'A' game. :cool:

Otherwise a good spread of appointments there.

There have been several changes as a result of a hamstring injury to Graham Poll.

Mike Riley is now on Estonia vs Portugal, with Dave Babski and Bryan, and Ian Brines (SCO) as FO.
Steve Bennett is now drafted in to referee Spain vs Bosnia, with Mike Tingey and Phil Sharp as ARs (they were originally Poll's ARs), and David Malcolm (NIR) as FO.
Rene Temmink (HOL) replaces Poll on Greece vs Ukraine
Peter Frodjfelt (SWE) has replaced Riley on Denmark vs Albania
And btw, Rob Styles has stayed on his Luxembourg vs Slovakia game, with Roger East and Kevin Pike as ARs, with Howard Webb as FO, although Howard will probably change as he's at the Toulon tournament.

Interesting. Is Poll's injury serious?

Also saw that De Bleeckere has the DRPK - Japan WCQ clash--not exactly an easy encounter to officiate.

I hope he brings a night stick.

That's true, and it's an interesting appointment, as he wasn't the original appointment, which was Shamsul Maidin from Singapore. Do FIFA want a more experienced referee on the game? :confused:
