He was due to be fourth official for Tranmere yesterday, I
wonder if he got taken off the fixture as he is refereeing them
in the play-offs.

In that case, he wouldn't have been appointed in the first
place!

Rumours of his retirement have been exaggerated for years.
Given his 'economy of movement' on the pitch, I can see him
continuing into his mid-70s at least. :)

I think we'd have seen some sort of 'blurb' on the EFL website
to mark the departure of a longstanding ref such as Trevor
Kettle, much in the same way as Graham Salisbury last week. I
wonder whether the fact that he came off the Tranmere game as 4O
means that he is being lined up for a role at the L2 Final,
either as ref or 4O? If that is the case, I could see him
retiring after that, with some publicity to mark the occasion.
'Grandads' Woolmer & Kettle for the L2 Final? I can see it
happening [emoji12]

I don't think these Play Off matches are awarded as valedictory
presents but strictly on places in the Merit List and I would be
most surprised if Mr kettle was anywhere near the top of that
List. I might be forced to eat my words but I shan't bother to
have the condiments ready ![emoji11]

I know he's not universally liked (heck a game back in 2009
really does stick in the memory), but he has improved massively
in recent years. There are far worse officials on the bench.
