May I be permitted to raise an eyebrow at the appointment to
such an important game of Darren Drysdale just a few weeks
after the happenings at Ipswich?

Interesting appointments especially the one already mentioned
above.
I was under the impression that SG2 officials did the League 1
play offs, is this a change in policy this season or has this
happened before?

Again no real surprises except that Coy has certainly not be
particularly noticed ( by me at anyrate ) but clearly doing very
well. A mixture of old hands and more fresh faces. Inevitably
there will be a few disappointed referees today I imagine.

The 4th Official appointments also tell you quite a bit about
who is in favour. I'm surprised not to see Marc Edwards feature
anywhere....yet !

Nobody got hurt and Darren 'served his sentence' without comment
or seeking to lay the blame elsewhere, and that imho marked the
end of an unfortunate blemish in the long career of one of the
FL's most experienced refs. As an aside, I'm wondering whether
the semi at Tranmere will mark the end of Darren's long career.
It has happened before.

Darren gets a play-off appointment and Alan Judge didn't even
play the last few weeks of the season as Ipswich didn't want to
trigger an extension to his contract.
I didn't believe in karma until now.....

I’m trying to think who may referee the League 2 play off final
now. Most of the ones I would have picked out are refereeing
semi finals which I assume rules them out.
Would we assume that the top two referees were Hicks and Madley
based on the fact they have League 1 games, and would this
suggest that one of those would referee the League 2 final?

Four Nottinghamshire Assistants on the play offs!
I'm telling you, living in the Midlands, where north is as near
as south, but colder, has something going for it!
I have a house to let in Wollaton..... 😄

I would say that's a fairly safe assumption.
