Whilst I agree Whitestone has been around a while, he is
actually a relative newcomer to SG2, joining much later than
most.

Interesting to see change of policy in using SG2 referees for
both legs. Guess it tells us who is well thought of at that
level. Personally I think Championship play-offs should go to
SG1 officials though. There's an awful lot riding on them.

We have SG2 for a reason you know. Whats the point in having
them if we don't trust them

True but these clubs are battling to reach the PL and so should
have pl referees doing these games particularly when it’s £110
million for the winning club

The point of SG2 is to try and improve the standard of
officiating in more of the games not covered by SG1, although I
am not sure that has happened. It is not a case of not trusting
SG2, but the general principle is that SG1 referees should be
the best in the country. I remember Keith Stroud making an awful
decision in the Championship play-offs last season. It could
have happened to anyone of course but you'd generally expect a
better performance level the higher up you go. I remember
Anthony Taylor was superb in Leeds V Derby a few years ago.
SG1 officials were used for all the relegation games on Saturday
in Championship, so why not promotion? I think it is reasonable
to hold the play-offs in the same regard as a league fixture in
the above division which the teams are trying to reach - hence
SG2 referees generally doing League 1 play-offs competing for
Championship and SG1 normally doing Championship competing for
PL.

I wouldn't disagree with you Readingfan, but maybe, as I
indicated earlier, it has something to do with the fact that
there are still 31 PL fixtures to cover in the next 11 days, and
of course that includes 4O and VAR duties for the SG1 refs in
some of the fixtures. OK, there is not so much riding on the PL
fixtures, now that the title and relegation have been decided,
but it is still a heck of a workload for them, including travel,
which would be made worse if they had crucial Championship
playoff games to cope with as well. I am happy to see Robinson,
Harrington, Gillett and Brooks on the Championship semis, with a
SG1 ref on the Final.

Indeed, several days work a week. Perhaps the NHS will clap for

Going by the practice of recent seasons I would suggest none of
those mentioned will get any of the play off finals
I cant see, unless I need a visit to Specsavers, that any of the
semi-final refs from the last few years has also been given a
final. None of the final refs seem to have been involved in that
same years semis so if the same format is kept we should be
looking for 3 new names

However, the way they have done the appointing this year is
different to normal - they are refereeing the semi finals in the
league above where they normally referee. I can't see the
League 1 final being anyone but one of the 4 doing a
Championship semi final.
