  1. I'm looking for an appointment involving Ola Hobber Nilsen today (22 April), it has been reported by Norwegian heads of refereeing that today he has an international "high risk" match in another country. He had been appointed for a Norwegian fixture, but apparently for this reason he has been then replaced.

    2. I can't find any big game for him today.

      Most likely it will be either Pyramids v Az-Zamalik in Egyptian Premier League (2nd v 1st, the same amount of points) or Al-Qadisiyah v Al-Kuwait (Kuwait Cup Final, currently 2nd v 1st in league table).

    3. Thank you, about the Egyptian game, isn't it planned for tomorrow (23 April) according to some sources?

      Delete
    4. Yes, both games to be played tomorrow.

    5. The Kuwait Cup final will be handled by Italian crew in assist of three Kuwaiti officials. Both VAR and AARs will be used in this game.

      REF: Michael Fabbri
      AR1: Elenito Giovanni Di Liberatore
      AR2: Mauro Tonolini
      4OF: Talal Al-Habib
      AAR1: Hashim Ibrahim
      AAR2: Ali Al-Khazar
      VAR: Marco Di Bello
      AVAR: Gianluca Vuoto

    6. Thank you for this appointment!
      Fabbri is "under punishment" after Juventus - Milan....

      Delete
    7. I am aware that he is a FIFA referee but current season is very weak for him. Is he in danger of demotion?

      Delete
    8. Absolutely not in danger, but he needs to recover and to show his skills to justify the FIFA appointment. Juventus - Milan has been his first big match but he failed. Hopefully the next time he will do better. It is also difficult to believe that he could be demoted because there aren't many other options...

  2. Well, appointments for MD 35 in LaLiga have been released and there is one significant name missing: Mateu Lahoz. That can only mean three things: he has been suspended after yesterday's match, he's appointed for a semifinal in UCL or he has to work in the elections taking place in Spain on Sunday and has not managed to escape (this is very unlikely, IMO, but has to be considered also). Hernández Hernández is not appointed either.

    Appointments:
    Saturday 27/04/2019
    13:00 Athletic Club (fighting for UEL/keeping 7th place) - Alaves (fight for 7th)
    Referee: Jesús Gil Manzano (Comité extremeño; FIFA, Elite)

    1. Tottenham - Ajax 30/04
      Mateu Lahoz with VAR Hernández Hernández. It is possible.

      For Barcelona - Liverpol 01/05 I think Kuipers it is quite sure (with Ajax, better to appoint him in a first leg game).

      Delete
    2. Estrada has not been punished. He has a relevant game in the MD he had to had one. It is Mateu whose turn was next weekend (this season referees have a match in one out of two MD. There is a MD mid-week) and has not been appointed even as VAR. However, to me UCL appointment makes more sense than suspension, given the circumstances.

      Delete
    3. Alberola Rojas also doesn't have any refereeing duty on the weekend so Cuadra Fernández has to act twice as VAR (Barcelona-Levante and Villarreal-Huesca). He might be having some rest, or he's been called to work in 28-A General Election...or has been 'punished' by CTA after the affaire with Morata.

      Delete
    4. Indeed! Did my counting wrong. In the case of Alberola I tend to think more about a forced rest to reduce pressure on him after the incident, as he doesn't work either during the mid-week MD. Mateu will be in VAR tomorrow (Alavés - Barcelona) and Hernández Hernández will be the main referee on Wednesday on Atlético - Valencia (huge match).

      Delete
    5. MARCA says the same: https://www.marca.com/futbol/2019/04/22/5cbdf583ca474178738b459b.html

      Delete
    6. Well, many media are now openly speaking of one match ban for Alberola Rojas, including Isaac Fouto, who has very close relations with CTA.

      Delete
    7. I repeat myself. Alberola Rojas was not lucky and he shouldn't have do that. But I'm astonished for the media and club overreaction about it that has resulted in a single-match ban for him.

      MARCA says that the aim of the ban is to 'protect' Alberola Rojas from media exposure after a good performance in Eibar-Atlético.

      Delete
    8. The performance in Eibar-Atletico was excellent. One of the main qualities of Alberola is the relationship he establishes with the players, it is always very accepted. Morata is a voice out of the choir, so it is clear that this is an episode and unfortunately he will stand still a turn.

      Delete
    9. Alberola Rojas got 2 match ban.

      Delete
    10. No, only one as the appointments for mid-week matchday were made before the Morata affaire. 2 matches without any refereeing duty, one to have rest and one more because of the ban.

      Delete
  3. Is there a video about Alberola Rojas incident? I think I missed what happened, I ask if you could kindly explain the facts. Thank you.

    1. I copy-paste from the other post.

      "Video about Alberola Rojas-Morata affaire yesterday in Eibar-Atlético. Morata was booked at the end and got very angry, as well as Simeone (reminding himself that in 2014 he was banned for 4 matches for "doing exactly the same thing" to a 4th official). Surely, Alberola Rojas could have avoided that, but honestly I don't get why is this treated as a 'scandal' e.g. asking for a 4 match ban for Alberola Rojas and all that stuff"

  6. The 2019 CONCACAF Champions League Final will be a "Clasico Regio" between Tigres and Monterrey. Both Liga MX teams are from the city of Monterrey.
    Tigres will host the 1st leg on 23 April 2019 and the 2nd leg will be hosted by Monterrey on 1 May 2019.

    Referee crew for the 1st Leg:
    R: PITTI, John Francis (PAN)
    AR1: RAMIREZ, Christian Jesus (HON)
    AR2: CAMARENA Alejandro (PAN)
    4th: MARTINEZ, Hector Said (HON)

    A big game and a big honor for Mr. Pitti. As we all know, local derbies are always difficult matches to officiate. I wish the crew all the best tomorrow night.

  7. We seem to be unable to listen to VAR audio.

    ReplyDelete

    1. This is not good. For nobody to be able to listen to any VAR audio anywhere from next season is a backwards step. We should be moving to greater transparency not less. I fear it will now take much much longer before it can be approved where they air VAR audio live in stadium and for broadcasters. I know that Germany, Australia and the USA were among others pushing for this as it already happens in other sports. But with this decision it now seems unlikely.

      Delete
    2. "El organismo que preside Gianni Infantino cree que en lugar de ofrecer una mayor claridad y transparencia sobre las decisiones tomadas, la publicación de los audios no ha hecho sino generar más polémica." - NOT TRUE AT ALL

      "La FIFA considera que mostrando las imágenes que ve el árbitro ya se cumple con los requisitos mínimos de transparencia." - DELUSIONAL INTERPRETATION and MISGUIDED APPROACH

  8. Hi guys, what do you think of this situation ? (https://www.facebook.com/refcard.official/videos/683744818731757/)

    IMO, mistake from Turpin's VAR..

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Central referee is not Turpin, but Nicolas Rainville. IMO clear mistake indeed

      Delete
    2. How is it a mistake? Futuro does not want goals being scored as a result of handballs.

      Delete
  9. Extremely unacceptable knowledge of the laws of the game by all 4 officials in this situation. Dropped ball enters the goal after only touching 1 player and they allow the goal instead of giving a goal kick to the opponents.

    1. Stéphanie Frappart with a Ligue 1 appointment, maybe promotion comes next? It could also be some "training" with Turpin as VAR for the next World cup.

    2. Excellent appointment and well deserved. Tho the French football association confirmed it's a preparation for her world cup

  12. 13' technical mistake by Medié? It seemed to me he whistled a foul when the ball was not in play yet!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Somebody set fire to Chrysovalántis Theoulí's house on Sunday. Another such incident in Cyprus...

    ReplyDelete
  14. He seems to back in form after some controversial matches in Bundesliga and Champions League as well and especially after the conflict with his assistants.
    Btw also expected performance in second half so far (86‘)

    ReplyDelete
  15. My criticism for Adrian Cordero in Alaves vs Barcelona is that he is way to calm and cool for my liking .. No real acceptance and has the feel of a "baby referee"

  16. Serbia
    Thursday, 25.04.2019.
    19:00

    Derby day

    Crvena Zvezda-Partizan

    Referee: Novak Simovic
    AR1: Milovan Ristic
    AR2: Dalibor Djurdjevic

    The best Serbian referee-Srdjan Jovanovic is not in Serbia. So, he can't be in the middle.
    Referee commitet found substitution for him.
    Novak Simovic is new FIFA referee.
    But some things never change. Serbian snipers will be assistants.
    One amazing thing- this derby will be nineteenth for Milovan Ristic!
