  5. Question for Petschovschi and other Romanian readers: is this news correct? https://www.gsp.ro/sporturi/altele/un-arbitru-roman-cu-meciuri-la-mondiale-si-europene-a-fost-condamnat-la-inchisoare-603481.html
    According to the google translation, the former WC AR was convicted by a court for 1 year and 4 months, which led the Romanian FA to remove him from the list of UEFA observers; however, his name appears in the appointments above. Did the court or UEFA make a mistake?

  7. FK Iskra Danilovgrad (MNE) - PFC Lokomotiv Plovdiv 1926 (BUL)
    Referee: Gergő Bogár (HUN)

    I checked all documents, Fifa, Uefa, I don't find Gergo Bogar on any of the Fifa's or Uefa's lists or did I missed something? I know we have covid crisis but to appoint non-FIFA referee as main referee in Europa league? That is very, very strange...

    Replies
    1. As a Category 3 he’s on the most recent UEFA list, published on the blog last week.

      Delete
    2. Then I missed it, because I checked FIFA list and UEFA list from the beginig of 2020 and I could not found him. Is he some late replace for Kassai?

      Delete
    3. Yes, he replaced Kassai, after his early retirement at the end of 2019.

      Delete
    4. Yes to add, when Kassai announced the retirement it was indeed to late to be replaced on the list and I pointed out this problem on the blog (now it is very difficult to find discussion again), however it seems as today FIFA has more flexibility than past, otherwise Hungary should have waited until the end of the year to replay Kassai, once confirmed after 01/01/20.

  10. Interesting DOGSO situation in Ordabasy - FC Botosani, for me this should have been a straight RC, Botosani player had no chance to reach the ball:

    1. Ufff!

      Reminds me of Pitana in DEN-CRO. Very difficult to assess if a sliding tackle is a genuine attempt to play the ball.

      Delete
    2. This is the most difficult kind of DOGSO to assess when it happens, because the movement (tackle) is made in origin to reach ball, but then in reality defender has not any chance to reach it.
      So: YC because he had at least tried to reach it, or RC in any case because he just couldn't reach the ball?
      I would even say that new rules are not clear under this aspect, in the meaning that many people can disagree.
      You try something like that when ball is close, but then attacker with a rapid movement kicks ball away, so?
      Sometimes it is very difficult to make an assessment becaus referee must see at the same time the kind of intervention and where the ball is. Very often, for most of referees, the first criterion (kind of foul) is enough, to be honest I can't blame too much them.
      Not genuine attempt is clear only in case of pushing, holding, charging, and handball. The rest, when it is a tackle / challenge, is very difficult because one must read the intention of the player.

      Delete
    3. @chefren
      Based on what I have seen from various video, FIFA have a very liberal interpretation of 'attempt to play the ball'. My understanding that they want referees to err on the side of a YC in these instances unless it is a clear red card.

      Delete
    4. @JB is correct. For leg challenges, FIFA (and, to my knowledge, most national associations) have pretty consistently taught that a sliding leg challenge should almost always be interpreted as genuine attempt to play the ball.

      There of course would be exceptions, such as when a defender simply kicks the back ankle/achilles of an attacker. But, essentially, if it's the type of incident that would be classified as SFP instead of VC, then you should classify it as DOGSO-yellow instead of DOGSO-red.

  12. IMO Morten Krogh underpunished a SFP incident (YC given, studs in the opponent's belly) in Borac-Sutjeska. Minute 24'.

    1. Also a very interesting incident in 65', possible RC for GK for handling the ball outside of the box (YC given and IMO supportable/correct, ball was too far away of the goal)

  13. Correct PK (+ YC) by Jónasson for Lincoln Red Imps in 57'.

  14. Fully correct 2nd YC by Golubevs for SHK19. Unnecesary reckless tackle from behind.

  15. IMO correct RC for SFP by Jaccottet for SAB19. Intentional stamp on the ankle, player didn't even complain. Jaccottet was 1.5m away of the incident, so he saw it clearly.

  16. Good advantage from Djordjic prior to Lokomotiv Tblisi's 2nd goal.

  17. Interesting reckless vs. SFP case in 10' of Motherwell - Glentoran, Bram Van Driessche gave a caution. If you ask me it's a clear RC (flying tackle), but I am sure the Belgian took the decision that the British teams expected (if not no foul at all!) :D.

    Not the first time I've watched Van Driessche and I was always impressed by his manner - a talented referee.

  18. Not decisive for the outcome, but IMO poor PK decision from Šehović in FCSB-Shirak. Clear simulation for me.

  19. Early RC by Petrović. IMO great decision.

  20. I will share my subjective opinion on three referees who handled games involving Polish teams. I am not going to analyse the performances strictly on a technical level though, but rather give you a clue on overall optic of the three officials.

    Lazar Lukić (Dynama Minsk - Piast Gliwice)
    A mixed bag performance. Athletic and fit + serious look (I would compare him to Kovacs) but also able to smile and communicate with players on a very good level. However, lost concentration at the end of the game (missed 2nd YC for SPA?) and I think some fouls could have been prevented by more pro-active management. A man with some kind of talent I would say, he could reach something more than 2nd/3rd Category.

    Urs Schnyder (Malmö FF - Cracovia Kraków)
    Swiss referee showed a typical German attitude - long whistles, no good rapport with players, not interested in managing things (cards or nothing), quite strict, some smaller mistakes on perception level (foul whistled in the opposite direction, corner kick not given), very central positioning. I think that the 2nd Category is maximum he can reach.

    Ondřej Pechanec (Lech Poznań - Valmiera FC)
    This ref has a look of a real modern referee - athletic, fit, able to communicate with players on a decent level, he also reacts quickly on incidents. Maybe 1-2 missed YCs (modern, yeah!) but surely someone to watch for the future and I would expect him reaching First/Elite Category in next few years.

  21. About Van Driessche - here is the SYC given, for the same player who got booked at 10' (see above).

    1. Good decision. Bad touch+reaching for it is always asking for trouble.

  22. Competent performance by Arman Ismuratov in Sumqayit-Shkendija, two correct penalties and a red card.

  23. Any information about Diamantopoulos' and Papadopoulos' performances??
