Sergei Karasev in UEL is a surprise 😮 Probably due to his mistakes in Bayern Munich v Celtic match??
ReplyDeleteYes, I think so. Mistakes at the beginning of that game were too blatant.
DeleteOn the other hand he's in a shortlist of 10 referees for the World Cup seminar while Eriksson is ignored :)
DeleteI respect Karasev and he has absolutely improved in recent times, for certain aspects he deserved the call to WC, but of course the main reason is that he is from Russia. We have nothing to hide here. At the same time, one must be honest: Eriksson's form, in recent times was really poor.
DeleteAbsolutely correct about Eriksson but Karasev is absolutely at par with him based on current form... I can recall lots of mistakes by Karasev in recent times, Eriksson sort of returned well in Roma v Chelsea but then nationality does matter... Karasev didn't have a very special U20 WC either with 2 absolutely nothing games and no test for him whatsoever... But overall if we are honest Eriksson, Kassai, Hategan, Karasev all these names don't deserve World Cup call up based strictly on performances... Turpin has turned things in his favour after performing really well in Lima...
DeleteAnother debut. This time for Ola Hobber Nilsen. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteIncluding the return of Tom Hagen on the international stage!
DeleteIndeed, very interesting to read the name of Tom Harald Hagen again.
DeleteIt should be the last game in European competitions for Tagliavento, given that he will be replaced on the list due to (domestic) age limits. Daniele Doveri should be the new name, while, as I already said, Di Bello is planned to join replacing the spot of Rizzoli.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the age limit for FIFA referees?
DeleteWhat is the age limit for FIFA referees?
DeleteFor FIFA, age limits have been totally abolished. A referee can get the badge and then can stay on the list as long as the national association wants. However, the problem with Italy is that we have age limits of 45 years old. So, Tagliavento should retire for that. Even in case of confirmation on the list for the next years as FIFA referee (possible choice for FIFA), he should get some special derogations for keeping his status as serie A referee.
DeleteThanks for the reply, do you know if in England there's any age limits?
DeleteFor what I know, but surely other readers could give a sure answer, there aren't age limits in England.
Delete@Ryan
DeleteAbsolutely not :)
There is no age limit in England, Mike Dean is 49y old, Johnantan Moss is 47 so i think that if you can pass fitness test you can continue refereering
DeleteRoger East is the oldest one with 52y olds..
DeleteBig problems in England replacing the old referees with younger, Dean and Moss are good and deserve their place. Mason and East for example, surely there are two better young referees to take their place, but I'm not so sure there is honestly.
DeleteAlso, Chris Foy retired with 52 two years ago, while Phil Dowd retired last year 53 years old. Two great referees

Nilsen's debut will be observed by Stavros Tristonis. I think those are most interesting, I will post other as soon as I come home from work ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much again.
DeleteLooks like this is going to be the last appointment for Andre Marriner in international matches :)
ReplyDeleteNo referees from Rep of Ireland in UCL or UEL Groups since Oct 2013, Neil Doyle Cat 2 refereed WCQ in Belgium in August, a long time for this country
ReplyDeleteAre the assistant referees attending next week's WC course?
ReplyDeleteIt should be only for the referees, but I can't give this info as 100% sure.
Deletehttp://www.tff.org/default.aspx?pageID=248&ftxtID=28311
Turkish federation reports only Çakır called for this course.
We will see whether the assistant referees who are appointed with the preselected officials, will appear in domestic leagues this week end.
I asked because Pau Cebrián Devís (Mateu's AR1) is appointed for a match in Copa del Rey on November 28th, so I thought it was "strange". Thanks for your answer!

First half by Mazeika: a very nice football game in Kazakhstan. Overall, expected level without major issues. However, referee was forced to issue a YC in 43' for complaints by a player from home-team. In my opinion, he could work more on the communication and prevention for avoiding such behaviors, because it is not nice if you have to issue the first card of the game for this reason. In any case, nothing extra-ordinary.
ReplyDeleteI only saw the last minuted and there was an interesting situation with Kabananga booked for simulation (although he wasn't waiting for referee's whistle and tried to continue play immediately afterward, it was a clear case of simulation). After the whistle but before the card was shown, Kabananga strongly kicked the ball with anger. I believe it should be two yellow cards in this case: for simulation and for dissent by action. Maybe DutchRef will help us with the video!
DeleteThis should be the situations mentioned:
Delete43' YC Shomko (AST) - protest
https://streamable.com/4qfb7
90+4' YC Kabananga (AST); simualtion - protest
https://streamable.com/7mscg
Clearly two bookable offences in 90+4'! Such case has been included in the last IFAB circular!!!
Delete"Where two separate cautionable (YC) offences are committed (even in close proximity), they should result in 2 x cautions (YCs), for example if a player:
- enters the field of play without the required permission and commits a reckless tackle/stops a promising attack with a foul/handball, etc.
Overall good 1st half from Bebek .
ReplyDeleteHe tried to let as many advantages as it was possible,good no penalty call,but he made lets hope not crucial mistake at the end of first half.
He booked wrong player cause he couldnt see the foul .
Looks like 4th official gave him wrong information.
At the end,pretty good job from Bebek,bit more lenient that usual but overall ok.
DeleteSolid performance from Stefański so far. Some dissents from Rosenborg players but quick reactions (relaxed at first and very firm in second case) solved the problem for now.
ReplyDeleteOne penalty incident

Crucial decision - offside by AR1, disallowed Rosenborg's goal
https://streamable.com/qpy1y
On the last situation, was that offside?
DeleteAnd what about a possible foul on keeper? But yes, Stefański whistled for offside.
No YC and just verbal warning is okay and even the preferable decision against the background the freekick is hit towards the defending player to get him cautioned, rather than as an attacking move.
DeleteGood management, a YC would have seemed inflammatory there, in my opinion.
No penalty and enough involvement by the (one?) offside player to justify the decision of the First Assistant- I like Stefanski's gestures in that situation also.

Very soft penalty call and RC for DOGSO by Karasev in Konyaspor Kulübü - Olympique de Marseille, minute 80'. I wouldn't have called it.
ReplyDeleteStill penalty-happy, brave Russian then. However, I didn't watch the incident.
Deletehttp://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6ag5vv
DeleteAbsurd.
Deletei think it was abnormal charge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ7HhzKtbyA
DeleteThe video you posted in not available in my country.
DeleteHowever, it is for sure a supportable decision, but really, really soft. RC is just a consequence, and it is a correct choice, but I would have liked to see a more than clear foul there. Very likely, Karasev did this call also because in previous game he missed a penalty and RC for DOGSO, so in doubt he prefered to whistle this time.
That's my reading...
Minute 82. My opinion but I can’t see anything else other than obvious serious foul play minute 82 Östersund match. Kick in the face. He knows the opponent is there and risks his safety. Only a yellow given.
ReplyDeleteVictor For me red card, i agree with you, big mistake Kevin Blom
DeleteHuge mistake from Obukowicz in Lyon - Apóllon
ReplyDeletehttps://streamable.com/msp6v
Handball
https://streamable.com/iz31z
Mistake by AR: I think he was deceived by keeper's intervention. Actually a save, so offside was still active and to be punished.
DeleteHandball: in my opinion penalty.
In addition bought simulation and missed yellow card for illegal use of arm. However, I think Raczkowski can be backed re handball.
DeleteFalling for simulation
Deletehttps://streamable.com/gmvwk
Missed YC for illegal use of arms, the YC shown was for UB
https://streamable.com/c6dnu
Penalty incident, penalty should've been given, imo

Unfortunately, Paweł Raczkowski is far from his top form two years ago. He couldn't recover from the poor Fenerbahçe - Kuban' game. Overall 8.2/8.3 if we close eyes for either simulation or illegal use of arm + at least one crucial mistake (penalty + potential wrong judgement at offside goal). There was the Elite Group on the horizon but he's far away from potential advance at the moment.
24': a clear simulation.
Delete44': YC to be issued for illegal use of arms, reckless.
61': Mhh I think referee can be backed
In holland there was a lot of discussion about the offside situation on tv. The commentator, presenter and analyst were divided in 2-2.
DeleteThey contacted Jaap Uilenberg and he explained that within FIFA/UEFA this is offside.
Danny Makkelie was contacted and stated that it is no offside. The GK misjudges the situation and can't hold the ball. So new situation and no offside.
Kevin Blom stated that (by text) this is offside. There was a shot on goal with a "save" from the GK.
Thanks, Fidje. Is the video of those talks available anywhere?
Deletehttps://www.foxsports.nl/video/2025965/buitenspel-niet-deel/
DeleteDon’t know if the link works outside the Netherlands because of broadcast rights.
Possible offside in the build up to second goal for Partizan
ReplyDeleteIt was tight onside, great call to by AR
DeleteThe two penalties given in Athletic-Hertha:
ReplyDelete33' Penalty ATH and YC Langkamp - challenge
https://streamable.com/yc6ae
65' Penalty ATH - handball
https://streamable.com/fbja4
Good performance by Andris Treimanis in an easy-going game. One missing YC (43' - even an orange one), otherwise faultless, including some tight offside situations for both AR. Well done!
ReplyDeleteMore than chaotic end of the game in Braga for Marriner, some scenes reminded me of Braga - Fenerbahçe with Bebek...
ReplyDeleteSurprising to hear that because Germans dont have that passionate type of personality that Turkish team had when Bebek handled that match.
DeleteThere is red card:https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6agbsk
Deletewhat a pity! All portugal clubs like tricks..
DeleteNo cards after sixty minutes! Match from nowhere got intense, Marriner then YC for anything above a regular foul (no verbal warnings, tbf I agree with that choice), not exactly prevention on a high level it was just cards. Riots at benches could have been prevented not a big feeling, and a good RC for a VC. Still solid enough in maybe his last international assignment.
DeleteLooks like Marriner had challenging match judging by number of cards shown(12 yc,1 rc).
ReplyDeletehttps://youtu.be/3FjSYam8A3c
ReplyDeleteQuite a soft Penalty awarded by Bezborodov in Köln
i think so
DeleteGood call, red player played the ball, defender pushed the striker using hand.
DeleteYou are right Victor, Kevin Blom gave a yellow card, But this is a RED CARD, 82 min. For me clear mistake. Ostersund - Zorya

Tottenham-APOEL: Gil Manzano
I was wondering whether we can expect another debut from referees who attended under 21 tournament, but very likely time has not still come for Madden, Lechner and/or Gözübüyük.
DeleteI would have expected it, if there was a match with nothing to play for. But with the current tables rather not.
DeleteIf any, then I think Gözübüyük in Tottenham is possible.
My predictions for CL MD6:
ReplyDeleteBenfica-Basel : Slavko Vincic
Manchester-CSKA: Danny Makkelie
Bayern-Paris: Pavel Kralovec
Celtic-Anderlecht: Matej Jug
Chelsea-Atletico: Szymon Marciniak
Roma-Qarabag: Aleksei Kulbakov
Barcelona-Sporting: Jonas Eriksson
Olympiakos-Juventus: Ruddy Buquet

Liverpool-Spartak: Cüneyt Çakir
Feyenoord-Napoli: Michael Oliver
Donezk-Manchester: Viktor Kassai
Leipzig-Besiktas: Gianluca Rocchi
Porto-Monaco: David Fernandez Borbalan
Madrid-Dortmund: Ovidiu Hategan
Tottenham-APOEL : Jesus Gil Manzano
Am I the only blog guest who doesn't expect Hategan on MD 6 after his crucial mistake in Belfast? I think one has to differentiate between a "rejected penalty" (because the referee didn't clearly recognize the incident) and a "phantom penalty" (a referee may only award one if he is absolutely convinced of his decision). Having regrettably disadvataged Northern Ireland is one thing, the "special type of error" (which never should happen) another that PLC could regard as inexcusable.
ReplyDeleteOk, I try my predictions.

Let me add, I have the feeling that it is possible we will see for the fourth time a referee who already got three games. I don't see so many options for some games and predictions are almost forced. Still, the number of Elite referees seems too low. But this is good because many Category 1 officials can get their chance there...
I too have an outside feeling that either Damir Skomina or Björn Kuipers will appear for a 4th time... Or maybe Sergei Karasev!!
DeleteI forgot Oliver from my predictions, in case he could even handle Real Madrid - Borussia Dortmund, as first (but maybe too early?) signal for his promotion.
DeleteIn case I would confirm him for Madrid and then I would send Vinčić for Tottenham - APOEL. No room for debuts in that case.
However, as somebody already wrote there, it would be better to appoint Oliver for a crucial game in Europa League, that would be the last exam before a possible promotion...
In this regard what's your view on Taylor's appointment to the Anderlecht v Bayern Munich game with a not so important observer watching??
DeleteI don't know, I can't answer exactly to that question, however one thing is sure: it has been a long time since both Oliver and Taylor have been observed by many important observers and committee members. Now decisions should come without doubts. It is possible that both will be promoted. We will see.
DeleteIt is odd that Vincic hasn't refereed any matches at all in Slovenua since U17 WC, he still isn't appointed. He did appear as AAR to Skomina in Napoli. Strange.
DeleteExtremely difficult situation in Polish Ekstraklasa game between Cracovia and Lechia Gdańsk (referee Piotr Lasyk, VAR Jarosław Przybył). VAR - imo wrongly - invited the referee to watch a replay and put an anormous pressure on him. Two possible handballs before penalty shout, same foul not being so obvious...
ReplyDeletehttps://streamable.com/o5s5c
In my opinion referee on the pitch had taken the best decision. We can't say whether it was a clear simulation or not, but surely more simulation than penalty, in my view.
DeleteTackle is not on the ball, but at the same time the opponent is not hit in a significant manner. Fall is more theatrical than real, a small touch existed but in my opinion this was not revelant. Still OK to book for simulation.
In such situations, despite of the advice by VAR, referees on the pitch should keep their decisions. The call by VAR shouldn't influence the mind of the referee. Difficult, because once watched the video, you have pressure and you think that you took a wrong decision. The fact that referee took a so long time to rewatch indicates everything: he was really in doubt, until the end. I repeat myself: a pity that he changed idea.
This is a clear penalty in my opinion. The defender is nowhere near the ball, and just clatters into the attacker. How can it not be a penalty?
DeleteHow can it not? Do you see red player falling down before any contact? Clear simulation and crucial mistake.
DeleteWhat about handball in the build-up? Deliberate or not?
DeleteIn my opinion not a deliberate handball, because I don't see an "additional movement" to touch the ball, arm was already there because player was trying the tackle.
DeleteGood evening. I leave here the appointments for matchday 13 in LaLiga (Source: RFEF-CTA):

Out of interest does anyone know if Luca Pairetto from Italy is he one for the future? He is 33 years of age.
Delete@Ryan
DeleteFrom what I've heard yes, of course he is the son of his father who whistled a EURO Final, and then went on to be a huge part of Calciopoli. Someone said to me the media is too praising of his performances (!), but especially against the background of not seeing any huge Italian talent, I think he could be an Elite one day. Maybe Chefren could add to that?
Talking about talents, Letexier joins the biggest match of his career; probably the same for Javier Alberola Rojas- I am close to certain both will be Elite one day, big big potential especially of the Spanish, considering his (future) modern style.
I think that Pairetto is not an option for a FIFA careeer. His first year as serie A referee, on last season, was definitely poor. Rumors reported that he was about to be dismissed but he was confirmed. Now, with the change of committee, he could try to recover but he definitely needs time as for now.
DeleteHe has been discussed many times just because son of Pierluigi Pairetto, if you ask me this is not fair. However, his performances must be better in order to achieve something.
Thanks for the replies. Planning on watching his game tonight Cagliari v Inter Milan.
DeleteOT
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know what happened to Michael Kempter, great talent in 2009 and then disappeared?
Any chances for him to return?
In early 2010 it became public, that Kempter had a relationship with Manfred Amerell, a former referee, who was working in the DFB referee adminsitration. Amerell supported Kempter during his fast rise to Bundesliga.
ReplyDeleteKempter accused Amerell of sexual approaches, which were against his will. He remained silent for some time to not endanger his career, but informed DFB in December 2009.
Kempter could/did not maintain all allegations in following lawsuits.
DFB took him off the Bundesliga and FIFA list. In 2012 he started refereeing in the 5th division again and was promoted to 4th (Regionalliga Südwest) in 2014, where he is still refereeing nowadays.
With 34 now, he seems already too old to return to the top. Referees, who get promoted from 4th to 3rd division, are usually several years younger.
Interesting... A shame.
DeleteMany thanks Philipp!
Good advantage goal given yesterday in Stuttgart vs. Hannover, well done by Christian Dingert! Attacker is very likely ONSIDE on the replays, the goal was also accepted by VAR.
ReplyDeletehttps://streamable.com/3eh9v
Wow, nice. Very brave from Dingert. He was also lucky, because, given the action, it was difficult to score immediately there, but this happened. :)

I really hope that Gautier, Atkinson and Tagliavento will get a farewell match. They deserv it. Atkinson and Tagliavento on CL
ReplyDeleteAlso Chapron already selected by Gitzlo
DeleteTagliavento got already 4 game (3 CL + 1 EL).
DeleteI think he wont appear again on MD6.
Stefan Johannesson too, as far as I know.
DeleteNext Dec. 6th Uefa will review its categories. I'm expecting that Borbalan and Thomson will be demoted while Tagliavento andd Atkinson are leaving their fifa badge.
ReplyDeleteI guess Oliver, Taylor and Buquet promoted. What do you think about Eriksson ? In the past he expressed his willing to leave, now that he will not be at WC could be the time to take this decision.
Do you agree Soares Dias to replace him into elite ?
I think that Bastien, Gil Manzano and Mazeika are on the right track but probably next year to be tested again.
I don't expect any demotions in the current Elite Group. However, I expect some changes. I assume that three referees will leave the FIFA list: Atkinson, Tagliavento and Thomson (being 45 years old).
DeleteAmong the sure promotions, I expect Anthony Taylor and Michael Oliver. They are quite consistent in terms of performances, they handle top clashes in their domestic league easily (Oliver reffing Liverpool-Chelsea today) for a couple of seasons. Furthermore, I would add Soares Dias to possible names for promotion, given the fact that he could still be VAR in Russia (and FIFA very likely wants Elite referees).
Concerning the two Frenchmen mentioned: although I wish, I don't think that Buquet will enter Elite Group, especially now with Bastien coming up. I think that Bastien has already overtaken Buquet and once Bastien is in Elite, he will also easily overtake Turpin IMO. Therefore, I expect a promotion for Bastien, but that should happen only in summer at earliest in my view. Same counts for Jesus Gil Manzano, who will very likely be promoted in summer, replacing Fernández Borbalán in Elite, who retires at the end of the season.
Mazeika is for me at the moment no candidate for promotion (2x EL, 1x CL this season, 2 CL games over two seasons in total only): I think he's in the same situation like De Sousa and Buquet: regular 1st Group referees, who can referee CL group stage matches, but who won't reach Elite.
However, that's only my point of view. For December, I only see Taylor, Oliver and Soares Dias as promoted referees. Would be interesting to see the thoughts of the others here. :)
I agree with a lot of your points, the only thing I disagree is concerning Jesus Gil Manzano: I don't think, he'll reach the elite group so soon, more likely in 2019, at least not before. He handled only 1 UCL game so far, that's even less than Mazeika.
DeleteHmm, is Soares Dias really better than de Sousa? I think they are at least equal if not the other way round. Either both or none of them should join the elite.
DeleteSoares Dias is clearly pushed by the powers!!
DeleteIt's clear. IMO Manuel de Sousa is a better referee. His last performance was very good.
DeleteIt seems as Aytekin had a more than challenging derby today!
ReplyDeleteIncredible game ended in a 4-4 draw!
Any info about his performance?
Excellent from my point of view (but I haven't seen the full game, anyway the TV commentators praised his job too).
Deletefirst half:
Delete- goal scored with hand for Dortmund #17,
-missed 2YC for Schalke #20,
4-0 down, a totally unexpected comeback... with Deniz Aytekin
DeleteFamiliar? ;-)
On the whole I saw a really strong Aytekin, agreed it was a pretty sure 2YC->RC but I think the score made the Bavarian think otherwise, and I could see some (small) arguments for a careless foul.
Aytekin can shout at players very strictly, and then laugh with them a minute later- I really like his flexibility to be honest, he succeeded for sure in this atmosphere, it was really hot for a match in Western Europe to be honest, from the first whistle to last.
Especially his management in the early minutes was fantastic, he put up the roadblock when necessary had a big determination, and got an acceptance after twenty minutes he never lost.
It seems he is THE man for top clashes in Dortmund, vs Hertha, vs Leipzig and now vs Schalke, another class performance.
Also I can imagine a very happy blogger from Gelsenkirchen :-D
A lot of difficult decisions:
Delete1) Goal (no handball)

6) No card (for simulation/time-wasting)

Match management / control was indeed very good and the 2nd YC for Aubameyang correct.
About promotions/demotions...
ReplyDeleteUnless somebody do something very terrible in Matchday 6 I think there won't be demotions from elite category. If Atkinson retires (maybe it is confirmed but I missed it), I think Taylor and Oliver will both be promoted and my prediction is based on three facts: 1) they were appointed for some top matches in Champions League where I expected elite referees plus committee members who observed them indicate that they are considered for promotio; 2) they actually both deserve to be promoted I think, their performances were convincing, 3) as allways, politics... Maybe he is not regulary appointed as observer but I think David Elleray has enormous influence, maybe even bigger than Dallas and Batta (don't forget how much 'chief positions' Elleray holds (England's referees committee, UEFA CORE programm, UEFA talent and mentor programm, tehnical director of IFAB) and he is also FIFA instructor... I think Soares Dias is not ready for elite at the moment and compared to Taylor and Oliver his matches in Champions League were not that important. Plus De Sousa is better as Ray stated earlier. I watched Vinčić for the first time in EURO U21 and I was impressed with him. If he is still like that, he will become elite, not this winter but very soon. Gil Manzano, Stieler and Bastien need more experience to become elite. Buquet, Jug, Mazeika, Kulbakov, Sousa - they will stay first category referees, but will regulary be appointed in Champions League group stage. I would be more happy if that happened to Bebek, it would be better he stayed first category and get appointments in Champions Leauge like Sousa. All in all I think no demotions and Oliver and Taylor promoted to elite. Ekberg and Aghayev I guess from second to first category.
P.S. About Tagliavent, is it confirmed he won't be on FIFA list for 2018. If so, Athletic-Hertha was his last match. I noticed one funny thing: I remember very well that Vladimir Antonov was also observer in Frank De Bleeckere's last match before retirement.
DeleteAs always, fully agreed with you!
DeleteI have given up hoping on promotion of Tover to First, but it would be deserved for the Estonian.
Oh, I forgot about Tohver. He deserves to be promoted, I agree with you Mikael and I don't understand why uefa referees committee ignore Tohver.
DeleteI'm quite sure about the promotions of Ekberg and Aghayev from the second to the first group too. Both already had a couple of UEL appointments, some good games as well as with some important observers, furthermore there are also quite political reasons for them (AZE has no top referee, SWE loses Johannesson in the first group).
DeleteFor this reason I can also see a promotion of Schärer, but I think that is more likely by the summer than in the coming weeks.
DeleteNot even a First Category from Switzerland is quite remarkable, UEFA surely will change that.
My guess is Klossner before Schärer
DeleteYeah, Switzerland will surely become a first group referee in 2018. Stephan Klossner is the more expierienced one, Sandro Schärer the younger and more promising one. Klossner had his debut in the UEL group stage already in 2014, since then he handled 5 UEL games but still didn't become promoted. So, I would say he should be in 2018 or he'll never do ('now or never').
DeleteVAR used in Australia to award a penalty + red card for a late challenge in the box: https://streamable.com/v3wqa - quite often these last-ditch tackles go unpunished so good to see it was spotted by the VAR.

To be honest what Busacca said is kind of worrying...
Delete"We see referees coming with different mentalities, and then after one week (we want there to be) only one (European) philosophy"
DeleteThat more than backs up the many people that report a too high favouring of a European style at FIFA with Busacca.
Thanks, it is always better to hear Collina than Busacca. My sincere feeling is that Collina can apply the severity and the respect of LotG we see in European competitions, differently from what happened to WC 2014. Sorry for Busacca, but that's my opinion.
DeleteNo GLT in La Liga...
ReplyDeleteNo... and it is the second time this happens to Barcelona this year (2017). Last season against Real Betis they scored a goal that was not given too.
DeleteGeorge, I have a question. How it is possible that a "football - country" like Spain is still without (at least!) GLT. That's more than unacceptable, if you ask me.
DeleteOverall it was a decent performance by Iglesias (not the most modern referee) in a match that wasn't especially challenging on the pitch despite it being crucial in the standings.
DeleteBut the goal...
That very same question is asked regularly on the press. One of the reasons I read was that, with VAR coming soon, it was considered an unnecessary expenditure, and also some discussions about who should pay for it.
DeleteBut there are bigger problems than those that are explained with that reason. There is a big dispute between RFEF (Football Association) and LaLiga (which represents professional football). Also, Villar Lona (elected RFEF president) is accused of corruption and has been banned. I feel there is a battle for power in both sides, with LaLiga repeatedly making statements against RFEF and Villar. All of this creates an unhealthy situation that results in a slow decision-making process. This is, I think (and that's just my personal opinion) the real reason for the lack of GLT and VAR this season.
It has been announced that VAR will come next season, but again a dispute has raised about who should be the project leader, according to some newspapers. LaLiga wants to put one of his man, a former assistant referee, whereas RFEF wants one of them. To be honest, with Velasco Carballo as FIFA instructor for VAR, the dispute is somehow stupid, but...
Mads-Kristoffer Kristoffersen is appointed on Sunday in Danish Superliga with his international team and AAR's, which is not common in the Danish league. This could indicate UEL-debut on MD6 in an not decisive match - Vitesse-Nice would be my guess.
