MARK CLATTENBURG: Jon Moss' appointment for the Championship play-off final is an odd one... he cannot let sentimentality affect his judgement before he retires, and his Yorkshire ties may cause fans to gripe

Jon Moss's appointment for the Championship play-off final between Huddersfield Town and Nottingham Forest is an odd one for two reasons.

The first reason is when I was retiring from refereeing, I was told I couldn't oversee a game with anything riding on it because with it being my last, the PGMOL couldn't risk sentimentality clouding my mind when I had a job to do.

I understood that. I didn't want to impact the integrity of the competition, so my Premier League farewell in 2017 was West Brom against Leicester – very much a midtable clash between 10th and 12th.
