For the first time ever in UEFA competitions, additional assistant referees assigned to Category 3 referees. For sure, there are officials coming from countries that never used them. Was there a specific training by UEFA before these assignments?
ReplyDeleteWell. It is not first time that referees from countries that never use AARs in domestic competitions are assigned with them in UEFA competitions. We had cat2 referees in same situation in UEL
DeleteI also must add that i am surprised that we will see cat3 referees in general for matches that can be important for deciding who will top the group and maybe even go to the EURO
DeleteThat's true. It happened already for Category 2 coming from countries without AARs. However, this is the first time ever for Category 3 officials, and it is a good thing that UEFA has trust in them. They will officiate very important games, as you wrote, despite of the national teams involved, still crucial for qualifications.
DeleteIf we consider also Youth League, Category 3 officials will get some very interesting matches this season, for sure definitely better than in past!

Some more incidents from Scotland at the weekend.
ReplyDeleteAberdeen v Kilmarnock - is this DOGSO? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxF0PsKfKFo (in fact there was a pull by the attacker first so it should've been a free kick the other way)
Celtic v Rangers: https://youtu.be/MYnhe88kuUg
0:18 - VC by the goalkeeper? (at the very least a PK)
1:00 - foul before the Celtic goal?
Prior to the goal. The aerial challenge is fair and clean by both players. However, the Celtic player then swipes the feet out from under the Rangers player. Collum in more than ideal position to spot the foul. And yet he's completely missed it. Yet another "blemish" on Collum's resume. Blemishes that continue to precent him from truly becoming "elite". He may have been given the title of elite. But his performances don't back up given title.
DeleteIn regards to the Rangers GK and his incident. Completely unnecessary and something the he knows darn well what he's doing. PK and Rd Card for Violent Conduct for kicking out and making contact with the fallen Celtic. However, it's a difficult if not downright an impossible incident to spot by Collum or his AR. It's an ideal incident for VAR. BUT........ as we saw in Spain and we see more and more often. I would not at all be surprised if the hypothetical VAR in this incident didn't intervene. Because it would mean PK and Red Card. So instead, much like Ricci admitted to doing in the World Cup. The VAR referee is gonna look for any possible reason/excuse to bail out and ultimately side with the referee. Thus not spotlighting a possible mistake by the referee. And ultimately not putting the referee on the spot.
Uno Tutk is the referee observer for Istvan Kovacs in Norway - Cyprus. this could be a sign that Istvan Kovacs soon he will be promoted in elite? Uno Tutk has got many elite referees likes Brych, Cakir and Rocchi. I didn`t know he observes referee from first category.

According to Israel referee commitee, Orel Grinfeld (Group 1) is appointed to CL's Matchday 2 (2 Oct 2018).
ReplyDeleteAny prediction which match he will get?
Wow that's the First big news:Israeli debut in CL. PSG - Crvena zvezda?
DeleteAs far as I remember, debut was made by Yefet in 2007 (?)
DeleteBTW, Yefet still here, appointed as AAR2...
Yes sorry Daniel, I was not clear. I just wanted to say a debut of a referee from Israel, but not necessarily the first one ever. I remember Yefet, only two games in CL (debut in 2005 and then in 2007 again), he belongs to a very particular category, big trust by committee for years and years, but only one appearance there. I don't think that he was overall a so bad referee, he deserved more. I expect him to become UEFA referee observer after his retirement. Very similar career to Kristinn Jakobsson (ISL), who got only one CL group stage game.
DeleteYefet will be active in domestic leagues until he'll become 47. Despite of his "lazy" style he is certanly the most authorital and respected ref in Israel in the last 10 years.
DeleteNow, after Liany's international retirement, Grinfeld has an opportunity to prove himself. But I think that Gal Leibovich, who will replace Liany in the FIFA list, has even more potential.
We'll see...
What do u think meler? Do you think meler can take place of cakir?
ReplyDeleteThe situation "after Cakir" in Turkey is not clear, in my opinion. There have been some attempts by committee and I think some of them went wrong. Let's wait. In case, Meler would need a long time before that...
DeleteΙ look forward seeing the style of refereeing in UEFA nations league. Are they going referee towards the " friendly" style or more of a qualification match?
ReplyDeleteIMO missed RC by Orsato in Germany v France
ReplyDeleteDo you really think so? It was an accident and not intentional. These kind of accidents look worse in replays than they are.
DeleteIt all depends on whether we consider this « accident » as deliberate or not. I see an unnatural gesture from Rüdiger, and it reminds me Zidane in ‘98 France v Saudi Arabia... therefore I see a violent conduct and a red card
DeleteSo what was the outcome of Zidane's action in '98? And who was the referee and from what country?
DeleteThe outcome was : RC for violent conduct. Referee : Arturo Brizio Carter from Mexico.
DeleteLovely to hear that my fellow countryman was not at all impressed or intimidated by Zidane being a "mega-star" and enforced The Laws of the Game with a straight Red Card.
DeleteMuch like Ramos Rizo did with Ronaldinho 4 years later in Japan/South Korea.
Rüdiger-Pavard duel. No disciplinary action from Orsato.
ReplyDeletehttps://streamable.com/dbsgd
This is how Pavard ended:
Deletehttps://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dmbs_EOXsAEXYtZ.jpg
At least YC if you want to consider this incident as accidental... but it can be RC.
DeleteCould you explain why you would go for a YC? It was unlucky and looks bad in the replays, but I see no reason for a punishment.
Delete26' - Missed mandatory YC Kanté, reckless stamp
DeleteIn my opinion the player was responsible of a reckless action.
DeleteFor me, any contact to the ooponents face area that is deliberate, should be a RC. It looks like Rudiger could have avoided the contact if he wanted to.
DeleteImo Pavard slided in, tackled Rüdiger fairly but Rüdiger had no chance to escape. For me corner is the only right decision.
DeleteBut beware, I'm german :D
If you look the review, Rüdiger tried to avoid the contact. So no foul for me.
DeleteThe only thing Rudiger wanted to avoid is falling on the ground, without care about Pavard. I will understand if the Commitee take an action.
Delete32‘ - interesting situation without replay. Did the French goalkeeper take the ball in hand twice?
ReplyDeleteNo, as he caught the ball and then - undeliberately but still - bounced it on the ground, catching it again.
Deletehttps://streamable.com/1jgza
Can we consider this as rebound? I remember a situation from a Women (CL?) game in which it was stated by UEFA (RAP) that indirect free kick should have been whistled. Even in case of accidental release. So, at least one can have doubts. Keeper would have done a good thing by not touching again the ball.
DeleteHowever, I wouldn't consider that as significant mistake as observer....
Agreed, Chefren. Technically an indirekt free kick should have been given. But of course, noone cares about this situation and it is not a significant mistake. I was just wondering whether I was correct when I saw the situation in real speed and without any replay.
DeleteIIRC, Collina was against that interpretation from Women's RAP and after a consultation with him, Przesmycki issued a statement in which he instructed to allow such 'releases of the ball' as long as the ball bounces on the ground. He said that both the LOTG and the spirit of the game say it should be allowed.
DeleteWe got official instructions by DFB to allow this. I thought it's now part of the law of the game...
Delete@JR: True, there is a new part in the LotG. However, in my view this particular incident cannot be interpreted as a "rebound" but has to be considered as a controlled action. After the goalkeeper had taken the ball, he accidently released it. Then he grabbed it once again. As the first action was no rebound but a catch, a second grab - despite the accidental manner - is not allowed. But let me say that I'm totally okay with Orsato's decision to play on. Noone expected a whistle there.
DeleteIt's technically correct according to LOTG that state that:
Delete"A goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball when:
• the ball is between the hands or between the hand and any surface (e.g. ground, own body) or by touching it with any part of the hands or arms except if the ball rebounds from the goalkeeper or the goalkeeper has made a save
• holding the ball in the outstretched open hand
• bouncing it on the ground or throwing it in the air"
The ball was between the goalkeeper's hands and then was
bounced on the ground (undeliberately but still). Of course, one can say the goalkeeper touched the ball with hands after releasing it as well. Therefore, as long as you can classify it as both infringement and still fair action, you should act according to the spirit of the game, allowing it.
Any info about Massa in Slovenia - Bulgaria by our Slovenian readers?
ReplyDeleteThere should be some Bulgaian and Makedonian readers too. Anyway, I watched it.
DeleteVery good performance by the banker, good positioning, good foul detection, no pointless talking, 2+2 yellow cards + credit to the teams for the needed respect.
One situation after the final of the 1 half - two opposition players pushed each other, but nice reaction by the AAR 2(splitting them) and that was it.
Overall, very good performance by the whole team(probably there were one wrong offside call for Slovenia, but that`s it).
Did any (Norwegian or Cypriot) readers manage to watch István Kovács?
ReplyDeleteWould be interesting to hear about his performance.
CZE-UKR (Taylor)
ReplyDeletePenalty incident, kick in the stomach. It had no impact on attacker's ability to play the ball but still...
https://streamable.com/v7rj8
Reckless vs SFP
https://streamable.com/610di
Interesting 'advantage'. Goal kick instead of indirect free kick for offside offence
https://streamable.com/z3rw9
Correctly rejected penalty appeal. Close to simulation
https://streamable.com/g8ozn
First incident is a clear penalty, I remember that in a CL game, if I'm not wrong, maybe in Munchen, Taylor missed a penalty as well for a similar incident (kick in the chest/ stomach of the opponent). However, difficult to spot from his position, maybe even impossible. Contrary side than AAR. About the second incident, RC for SFP would have been justified, however I think the observr could still back Taylor. Studs up, but not that up.... force not excessive, but basically, RC. Third situation: advantage can be given, no risk for referee by doing that choice. 73': surely not a penalty, maybe play on the best option but I would have liked as well YC for simulation there, it is clear the intent of the player to deceive the referee, by that theatrical fall, close to AAR. He deliberately went there to create the possible contact.
