Kopparberg Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Jarred Gillett will become the first overseas official to referee a Premier League game when he takes charge of Watford v Newcastle on Saturday. The 34-year-old Australian was promoted to Select Group 1 by the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) before the start of the season. Gillett has been on Premier League VAR duty this season and has refereed two Championship games this term. He began officiating in England in 2019 after leaving Australia's A-League. Although former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher was born in Ireland, he was considered an English FA representative - and was even able to officiate in a Republic of Ireland game against Russia in 2002. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Saw the thread title, thought "I hope it's not that bloody Australian, he's awful", saw it was that bloody Australian. He's awful by the way. That said, he's a million times better than what we've had to put up with in L1 so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Great stuff, because a lot of these English refs just ain’t up to it. Hopefully it’ll encourage more from overseas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
