ReplyDeleteI want to thank Dr Emu a very powerful spell caster who help me to bring my husband back to me, few month ago i have a serious problem with my husband, to the extend that he left the house, and he started dating another woman and he stayed with the woman, i tried all i can to bring him back, but all my effort was useless until the day my friend came to my house and i told her every thing that had happened between me and my husband, then she told me of a powerful spell caster who help her when she was in the same problem I then contact Dr Emu and told him every thing and he told me not to worry my self again that my husband will come back to me after he has cast a spell on him, i thought it was a joke, after he had finish casting the spell, he told me that he had just finish casting the spell, to my greatest surprise within 48 hours, my husband really came back begging me to forgive him, if you need his help you can contact him with via email: Emutemple@gmail.com or add him up on his whatsapp +2347012841542 is willing to help any body that need his help.
DeleteVery important game given to Zwayer, obviously they trust him a lot and like his lenient style.
ReplyDeleteIMO, after 2 unconvincing performances in CL MD5 and MD6 and an average performance in Greece in February, I would say he is more suitable for EL knockout this season.
Milorad Mazic retired from refereing. He accepted offer from Kipar and will be new Head for refereees for 2 years.
ReplyDeleteYes, he accepted the job at Cyprus FA.
DeleteReally remarkable career, so many important games through yeara with constant form and recognizable style.
Sidiropoulos 2 days after his match will be 4th official to Zwayer. I believe we will see this tactic a lot
ReplyDeleteI can add that Trentalange, observer in Manchester United - LASK, is from Turin, the city where Juventus - Lyon will be played, so after the game in Manchester they will fly together to Italy.
DeleteI’m guessing Damir Skomina will take charge of the Barcelona-Napoli game on Saturday. All the big elite names will take charge of the other games in both EL and CL which leaves Skomina for this big undecided game. I’m not sure who will be appointed for the Bayern-Chelsea game though.
ReplyDeleteI think Del Cerro or Kulbakov could get Bayern-Chelsea but for Barcelona to many options: Cakir, Skomina, Turpin, I wouldn't even exclude Oliver there.
DeleteMy prediction: Skomina in Barcelona and Karasev in Munich
DeleteYeah I forgot about Cakir and Turpin. If I remember correctly Cakir was confirmed for the final tournament in Portugal which means that he maybe will not be appointed for this crucial game in Spain. It could be Turpin but he was referring Barcelona-Dortmund in the group stage. I’m still guessing Skomina who went missing for a long time before the COVID-19. We’ll see tomorrow.

Cakir will officiate FCB/Napoli.. Hategan for Bayer/Chelsea.. Where is Turpin though.. Maybe set for semis.. I like him
ReplyDeleteThe names for CL quarterfinals could be: Turpin, Makkelie, Mateu, Orsato.
DeleteIMO, rather difficult to see Turpin directly in a CL QF after the long break for him (in spite of some appointments in foreign leagues).
DeleteKuipers and Makkelie got EL to be ready for more, I think, but then Turpin should have gotten the same, if he is planned for Portugal.
I think It would be really hard for Turpin because he did a great season again just like the last 3 seasons.

OT
ReplyDeleteMilorad Mažić retired from professional career as a referee.
What would you say is the most remarkable appearance he made? One of the finals or some other game?
He was in the media quite a lot for the last 2-3 years, so here are few fun facts:
- EL 2010 Brugge-Villareal, there was a foul and none of the referees knew who commited it so Mazic looked at players faces and (correctly) gave a YC to a player who was looking down and looked guilty
-he said that he often discussed his games with Cakir, and that Cakir often called him to ask for his opinion as well
-he was allegedly the main candidate for WC2018 final, but as Croatia won over England, there was the opinion that it is better to avoid such appointment
-in international games he and his team always used the same perfume, which he explains as a way of showing authority and team spirit within the referee team, starting from the tunnel
-he is highly educated, owning pHd degree in Agronomy
FEEL FREE TO ADD ANYTHING! (even critics :))
Out of curiosity, did he say that in an interview or are those things collected by you?
DeleteI wrote some interesting details from multiple interviews that he had with different media.
DeleteI really liked Mazic and would be interested to read full interviews (will use Google translate, if needed). Would you be able to share the links?
DeleteWhy you deleted Belgian appointments?
ReplyDeleteThe comment was marked as spam by blogger, now I fixed it. Sorry, this happen too often, we can't do anything to prevent it.
DeleteIn UEFA RAP 2020:1, A10 (IRLSUI, Del Cerro Grande) has not been assessed as a clear Serious Foul Play - it's been evaluated as a "7" or CLEARLY RECKLESS.
ReplyDeletehttps://streamable.com/x5ac3l
I hope this isn't too melodramatic, but UEFA have lost touch with reality in a quest to keep twenty-two players on the pitch...
Where to download new RAP?
DeleteI posted 5 clips from UEFA RAP 2020:1 asking for opinions about situations..
DeleteThat's the second clip I see of kicks to the head/face with a YC supported... I feel like any kick at that height is not an expected footballing action and any medium force or higher should result in a sending off...
DeletePenalty to Lyon by Zwayer. It looked like an intervention on the ball, but then defender touched also opponent. Tricky case for VAR, but I assume they will confirm it because not clear and evident mistake...
ReplyDeleteOn TV they assumed a possible foul from the back, waiting for further replays. IMO harsh to punish the tackle, because it looked first like a clean intervention for the ball.
DeleteNow, few minutes later, in German TV they speak of an 'excellent eye by VAR Christian Dingert'. It seems that there was another incident we must focus on.
DeleteDoes anyone feel this is not a foul? If no penalty was called, do you think VAR would have overturned the decision?
DeleteIndeed it seems as the contact punished by Zwayer was the previous one by Bernardeschi, but I'm really in trouble to spot it. I think VAR didn't have the opposite evidence, so they confirmed the call. In all cases, in my opinion a very soft call if not fully wrong by Zwayer, if he had rewatched the situation he would have annulled penalty decision, but of course once whistled we must discuss on VAR protocol.
DeleteUnfortunately no further replays were shown. The reporter says that they checked the incident once again and there was made a contact. They say you could not detect it from the angle behind the goal but from another angle. Let's hope for some more replays.
DeleteIf the Bernardeschi (minimal) contact was punished, then the foul in the lead-up to the penalty should also have been whistled.
DeleteVery disputable decision with enormous consequences for the remainder of the match with Juventus for the task of scoring 3 goals now.
I agree, one could ask himself the question about the earlier situation with Higuain.
DeleteNow correct free kick to Juvenjtus and YC by Zwayer at the edge of penalty area, but he looked to be quite annoyed when players from Lyon protested. In my opinion, he didn't show an appropriate body language in that situation, I perceived as he was bored to do what he was doing.
ReplyDeleteNow in my opinion wrong penalty to Juventus, I think that it wasn't a punishable handball, but VAR didn't intervene as well.
ReplyDeleteNo penalty for me in both situation...
DeleteSoft calls in both cases for me, but supportable no interventions by Dingert.
DeleteAgree. No good day for Zwayer.
DeleteThis second penalty is just a joke. Unbelievable decision with VAR.
DeleteExcellent penalty + YC by Zwayer. Arm close to the body but active movement towards the ball. No hesitation.
ReplyDeletePenalty for Juventus (handball) given by Zwayer
ReplyDeleteZwayer not having a good game at all. 2 incorrect penalties and too many YC.
ReplyDeleteChallenging game for Zwayer and at least two difficult penalty decisions that were not clear at first view. While German media changed their opinion from wrong to an excellent decision at the first incident, they are not sure about the second call. It seemed like there was an active movement towards the ball. In that case, it would be a good call.
ReplyDeleteI'm not the biggest fan of Zwayer, however, to me it seems like a very good performance. If UEFA backs both decision, I'm sure they are convinced by the first half.
Now they showed both replays. In my view, both penalty decisions are correct.
DeleteI think that lack of comments on Brych is saying enough. No so much job for Brych, easy 1st half well handled. Missed corner kick by Borsch and one foul missed by Brych but nothing important.
ReplyDeletehttps://streamable.com/bmlof0 First penalty
ReplyDeletehttps://streamable.com/cnsnjx Second penalty
This is exactly what we dont want in such important game, soft penalties in situations where we have to analyze slow-motion 10 times to asess and in the end speak about "supportable", VAR protocol and such things.
ReplyDeleteApart from that, no gestures to explain his decisions leaves everyone confused, he could have be more clear about why he made the decision.
After that minimal contact with Bernardeschi the player of Lyon made another 2-3 steps. How is possible for Zwayer to see such a minimal contact if even for us, with so many re-plays, is difficult ? For me VAR should intervene in that case. Like someone said, if that contact is punishable, than prior it is foul on Higuain ! On the other hand, the penalty for Juventus was hilarious, the clear case of compensation.
ReplyDeleteHow many times I wrote here that Zwayer doesn't have the required level to whistle at this level. Keep in mind his performance last year in Atletico- Juventus 2-0, when VAR overturned hom 2 times !!!
Remeber this masterpiece of Zwayer in german cup final:

DeleteGerman cup final: it was a terrible decision. Oh my God!
DeleteMichael Oliver's penalty decision in Real v Juve was correct. Don't bring him into this!
DeleteRemember also Marciniak in Tottenham- Juventus 2 years ago. A 100% clear penalty not given.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
Delete@Jackson: If Oliver's PK was considered correct, how can you explain that he was assigned any top international match after that?
Delete*not assigned
DeleteBoth penalty decisions correct after seeing more reviews.
ReplyDeleteHere is video about first penalty to Lyon: https://streamable.com/5yvyv3
ReplyDeleteThe contact is too soft in my view...
DeleteI have just seen Zwayer's penalties. Firts one is supportable but the second one is clear mistake IMO. I think VAR had to intervene in the second situation. We dont know but maybe Dingert did intervene but Zwayer stood by his initial decission, he was very confident when he whistled that penalty.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. First penalty is even an excellent call in my view.
DeleteZwayer had a perception mistake for the second penalty (the same one as Ref_1707, if I may say so) - it seemed as though the defender moved his arm towards the ball, when actually the force of the ball was what moved his arm towards the ball.
Shit can happen, but Dingert HAD to intervene there. Poor.
To be honest, based on previous matches and expecialy after that mistake in Shakhtar-Atalanta in Champions League group stage I did not expect to see Zwayer in any important match, maybe something like Man.UTD-LASK where the result feom the first match was 5-1. But undecided match in Champions League was a bit of a shock. Why not Del Cerro or one of the big names used in Europa League - Kuipers, Makkelie, Marciniak, Lahoz??
DeleteOf course you may say so, Mikael. Still after having watched a lot of replays, I find it more convincing to evaluate the arm's movement as intentional and not as a result of the ball's force.
DeleteLet me add that I find it ... interesting ... that some users (indeed not you, Mikael) tend to go the 'conspiracy way'. Of course, if you evaluate both decisions as wrong, the performance has to be assessed as bad. But I would really invite everyone to do it fairly, to exchange arguments and not conspiracy theories.
100% agree !
ReplyDeleteI disagree on the first penalty but totally agree about Zwayer.
ReplyDeleteTime after time after time - and UEFA still appoint him on a high level.
2 incorrect penalty imo. Harsh but Zwayer had not the level that is needed for thuis kind of matches
ReplyDeleteI agree with the most.
ReplyDeleteIf one wants to give him credit, one can say that those were brave calls. But still, I dont like his style and am not sure about both PK situations.
Correct no penalty by Brych in 73rd minute.
ReplyDeleteI actually disagree. I think it's a penalty after watching the replay.
DeleteAfter watching replay I would even say it was a yellow card for simulation. If someone could get a video would be great :)
DeleteHere you are :)
Deletehttps://streamable.com/pp4rbx
Simulation?! The things that get thrown around on here sometimes...
DeleteAnyway, I think it's an acceptable decision either way. Not a clear penalty, so play on acceptable. But there is a lot of contact so no way you can justify simulation. VAR would back penalty or no penalty.
No penalty at all for me. However, there is a contact, so no simulation.
DeleteWell I have seen replay only once.
DeleteThank you Dutch Ref :)
Now after I have seen it, definitely not a simulation but also not a penalty for me, there is a slight contact but not enough for a penalty.
Players are absolutely desrespecting Zwayer all game long.
ReplyDeleteHe is striving to make his decisions accepted, but no success so far. He has to book many players for protests.
By showing over and over again his uninterested and arrogant attitude towards players, that is the least he could get.
DeleteDefinitely not helping himself tonight.
And again it seems to me at times that Zwayer is disgusted by players. Keeping his distance whenever possible and avoiding any type of communication.
DeleteIn 89' a very good advantage decision by Zwayer and then another foul, he was forced to whistle. Good read of the game.
ReplyDeleteGuys, did you see that Lyon player Tete entered to the pitch during substitution? Because the game was started with throw-in by him. I didn't see he entered to the pitch so substitution was not ended. He couldn't start the game imo.
ReplyDeleteSarri: "It's a shame" screaming right in front of fourth official.
ReplyDeleteNo reaction... well...
ReplyDeleteWe did not learn anything new about Zwayer. Everything was "expected".

ReplyDeleteThis game in Torino showed imo exactly why I think Aytekin should be in charge of big games, with brilliant communication, charisma and fully respected by the players he was the best referee in Bundesliga this season... again... I really wonder why Zwayer gets the support by UEFA which Aytekin deserves.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteSorry, but neither of two should have been appointed for the CL games. I respect Germany in football terms, but noone should have secured spots at this level.
DeleteThe best German referee after Brych is Stieler, a very humble and nice person.
DeleteFor me is Deniz Aytekin best German Referee. My opinion
DeleteI can agree with Andrasch Neunert.
DeleteVery poor performance by Zwayer’s team. Many wrong offsides by both AA. 2 wrong penalties - at least one supportable - and weak human management with pedantic and agressive way. Not an Elite performance here.
ReplyDeleteLike Mikael, I disagree on the first penalty but agree on Zwayer.
ReplyDeleteThere is contact from behind there. It's a clip. If the second tackle doesn't occur, no one says much (other than maybe labeling it "soft"). Arguing for VAR intervention shows a misunderstanding of what a clear error is in the VOR.
But Zwayer? Yeah, he's not elite. I don't get it. Germany needs to sort things out and figure out who is next. Because Zwayer is not the answer.
After these matches there should be no doubts as to who Germany's best referee is.
ReplyDeleteDr Felix Brych.
Man for big matches.
DeleteHim and Cakir are the best.
And Skomina for sure🔝💯
DeleteBut Kuipers is even better ^^
DeleteWhy Brych performs very well in UEFA competitions, but not at the World Cup?
DeleteAs many of you here, I think that Zwayer is always getting great matches and to be honest, his performances do not justify that.
ReplyDeleteHowever, The 1st penalty is completely correct IMO.
The 2nd one is very hard but it is supportable that VAR didn't intervene here IMO.
His way of talking to the players never changed throughout the last seasons, but he still gets great appointments in Bundesliga and UEFA competitions.
I have the feeling that this aggressive "Get away!" and many YC for reclamations can be seen especially in Bundesliga (accept some like Aytekin,...) - more than in other leagues and I have the feeling that it is even supported by DFB.
Discussable performance.
I agree with the first penalty assessment. The second penalty seems to me like a perception error as the ball made the arm move - should have gone to an OFR.
DeleteThe more concerning aspect of the performance is his terrible soft skills, to the point where players respond very poorly and broadcasters criticise his body language (SuperSport).
I'm rewatching the first penalty call and it seems to be that Zwayer clearly whistles only after the tackle (on the ball) by defender, so we can't be absolutely sure that he spotted Bernardeschi previous contact, but, most important, in case of this contact by Bernardeschi was only spotted by VAR, the latter should have asked Zwayer which foul he had whistled. In case of Zwayer had missed first situation, he had to rewatch it. I'm definitely not convinced that Zwayer spotted the previous possible foul by Bernanderschi, I think he whistled the tackle. Take a look at the video in the original live sequence.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it is not clear from the pictures, which foul was whistled by Zwayer. Could also be, that he just waited for advantage after the first foul.
DeleteBut if he didn't see the first foul, I would also have expected an OFR - so no OFR somehow confirms, that he recognized the first foul.
Can someone post the videos with the 2 penalties from Juventus - Lyon?

Marciniak's facebook page has many messages from Olympiakos fans protesting about his decisions on the match against Wolves.
ReplyDeleteHere: https://www.facebook.com/szymon.marciniak.sedzia/photos/a.785311051534227/3603412139724090/?type=3
Well I maybe one of very few fans of refereeing for whom Aytekin's performance in the rematch of Barcelona-PSG wasn't as bad as many were suggesting... And that game ONLY killed his chances due to the influence of some sheiks owning as PSG...
ReplyDeleteBut anyhow... Zwayer should be out, concerning his really bad soft skills. When not some decisions are the problem with a referee, but the fact that he disrespect the players and shows that to them very clearly, then he should be out of any consideration for more "big" games. There are more great talents like Siebert coming up... So no reason to worry about German refereeing at all.
The problem is that Zwayer is the only German referee pre-selected for WC 2022... why Brych cannot be allowed there, same as Orsato (I think both will be 47 in 2022)?
