Ref Kits tonight?
ReplyDeleteMacron
ReplyDeleteI know for Macron, I mean colour of kits
DeleteProbably yellow, Chelsea with blue, Arsenal with red kits.
DeleteI see Orsato with yellow jersey on the pitch ;)
DeleteGood luck to mr. Rocchi. Really looking forward to this game!
ReplyDeleteMacron yellow kits look good, but IMO there's too much presence of the logo. In Adidas kits it was almost hidden.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of Ref Kits is this? Where is ADIDAS 18 kit?
DeleteMacron is replacing Adidas as referee kit supplier for UEFA competitions (UCL, UEL, UNL, Euro...) until 2022.
DeleteWhy would any brand want their logo hidden? Advertising is what it's all about, isn't it? It's what pays the bills.
DeleteIt seems Adidas did for some reason. When their kits are shown on TV, their logo is nowhere to be found. That has happened since 2016 kits. I don't know why.
DeleteThese Macron referee kits look sharp, other than the socks. I've never been a fan of referee kits with "clownish" looking socks. But the shirt and the shorts look amazing. Adidas will not be missed at all.
ReplyDeleteI already miss it.

DeleteRocchi well read the kick there and immediately whistled for the offensive foul. Great awareness and preparations
ReplyDeleteSpot on decision by Rocchi. No PK there. The Arsenal player looks for the contact. While the Chelsea GK tries to pull his arms back.
ReplyDeleteCorrect!
DeleteI think correct NO PK there.
ReplyDeleteThe Arsenal player goes for the ball, reaches and touches it, is then contacted by the goalkeeper. Clear foul, clear penalty.
ReplyDeleteThe rejected appeal was spot on by Rocchi. If he gives it VAR won't intervene they will try to look for any contact to support the referee that's why as referee we should be strong mentally and know the arsenal players was looking for the contact
ReplyDeletePlease watch in full speed again. He has no reason to look for a contact. He would have passed the goalkeeper with an empty goal. I agree that the slow pictures are looking different, but look at full speed.
DeleteI tell you he wasn't in control of the ball after pushing it past the goalie and most striker always do that when we feel there is no reason to go down they prove us wrong and looks for contact. It's now part of instinct believing pushing it past the goalie will result in a PK. As I said if Rocchi gave it VAR won't intervene as there was contact but the player waited and wanted
DeleteNo penalty. In such a game you give only the absolutely ass-clear things and not such.
DeleteIMO correct decission not to whistle a penalty in 18th minute. Also compliments for Irrati for very fast silent check and not intervene there.
ReplyDeletehow is that not at least a YC?
ReplyDeleteMissed a mandatory (at least) dark YC.
ReplyDelete2 missed yellow cards for reckless studs in 14' and 38'. Specially 38' is a stonewall yellow.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree and surprising from the Italian there who is usually card happy
DeleteI don't like it when referee's change their style/approach just because a match is a Final. There is not another set of Laws of the Game for Final matches.
DeleteOrange per say.
ReplyDeleteSo, not very challenging game and Rocchi seems accepted on the pitch, but he missed 2 quite blatant YC for reckless stamp.
ReplyDeleteThose missed bookings are the only blemishes in Rocchi's first 45 minutes of action.
ReplyDeleteReally Rocchi, really? You allowed heavy card desrving tackles go unpunished. And here you miss two fouls against Chelsea. And then you go and show the first card of the game for a little lip service? Talk about disciplinary inconsistency.
ReplyDeleteOfftopic but short pocket seems too tiny.
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing; this is probably the first time he's used this kit in a match so the muscle-memory isn't quite there yet.
DeleteSometimes you can see the card from inside the pocket. Adidas were 'deeper'
DeleteYes I also noticed that. An issue with New referee kit designs when they don't realise they needs deep pockets, especially for the larger size cards I like to carry.
DeletePenalty.
ReplyDeleteSoft but correct in my opinion although the replays were not that good
DeleteThat was very restrictive view of advantage at 63’. The PK at 64’ is absolutely correct (though caution/RC for DOGSO?).
ReplyDelete(And delayed caution should have been given at the next stoppage for the shirt pulling at 63’)
DeleteAt least SPA and not really an attempt to play the ball. Context probably didnt need a caution here, he perhaps thought.
DeleteNo caution was correct in my opinion. It's not DOGSO with another defender right in front and close by, and it is a charging foul (not a push). The defender had eyes for the ball.
DeleteHe’s in a position for a direct shot on goal, he’s arming the shot, and he gets pushed in the back with no intention to play the ball. It’s an odd case to say it’s not DOGSO.
DeleteI don't think DOGSO is blatantly wrong, but there is another defender so nearby and in good position between the attacker and the net. Thus, I think it's fair to say we are missing one of the 4 criteria for DOGSO. As for the attempt to play the ball, I think the distinction between a push and a charge is important here. In this challenge, the defender didn't extend the arm to push down the attacker, he ran into his back. This means this is a charge, not a push, and it's reasonable to assume that, since he was running in the direction of the ball, the ball was his goal ultimately. Especially when you consider that FIFA referees have been pretty consistent in terms of erring on the side of assuming there was an attempt to play the ball in these situations: look at the DOGSO yellow Pitana showed in Denmark - Croatia at the World Cup R16 for a similar example.
DeleteAnyone else thought Guendouzi should've seen yellow for SPA a few minutes ago?
ReplyDeleteObvious, clear foul prior 2:0!
ReplyDeleteI think Rocci did well,no var.well done my model.
ReplyDeleteOT International friendly appointment:
ReplyDeleteFrance - Bolivia (02/06/2019)
Referee: Alberto Undiano Mallenco (Elite)
Assistant Referee 1: Roberto Alonso Fernández
Assistant Referee 2: Íñigo Prieto López de Ceraín
Fourth Official: Either Juan Martínez Munuera or José Luis Munuera Montero (RFEF announced it as José Luis Martínez Munuera)

I feel it's Luis Munuera Montero as Juan Martinez Munuera is at the under 20 world cup
