    1. Isidro Díaz de Mera Escuderos potentially new FIFA referee?

      Delete
    2. Assistant Referees:

      Promoted to LaLiga Santander:
      1. Rubén Porras Rico
      2. Israel Bárcena Rodríguez
      3. Iván Massó Granado
      4. Antonio Martínez Moreno

      Demoted to LaLiga Smartbank:
      1. César Manuel Noval Font (Martínez Munuera's AR2. This is a huge surprise to me).

      Retired for age reasons:
      1. Abraham Álvarez Cantón (Del Cerro's AR2).
      2. Alfonso Costoya Rodríguez (former Iglesias Villanueva's AR1, Soto Grado's AR1).
      3. Manuel Ángel Torre Cimiano (Melero López's AR2).

    4. Also, there will be no changes in the FIFA list for 2021.

      I have not followed much of LaLiga Smartbank until the last MD and the play-offs, and not all matches, so I can't say. However, I think Alberola Rojas should still be ahead of him, at least given that he already has experience in LaLiga and is younger too.

      The question now is how many spots will there be available and when. With age limits, there should be 2 spots for 2022 (Del Cerro's and Estrada's). Given Del Cerro's preselection for WC 2022, and given that he's surely the choice, that one won't be available. Mateu's should follow the following season (2023).
      So my bet is that for 2023 there will be 2 spots open and that one will be for Alberola (save disastrous performances like Vicandi Garrido).

    5. @George A little bit surprised with the promotion of Figueroa Vázquez (1980). I think he was pretty good in his play-off game (SF 2nd leg Zaragoza-Elche) but I didn't expect him to get promoted.

      Very happy for Isidro Díaz de Mera Escuderos (1989), promoted after 2 consecutive season being a substitute.

      Surprised for not seeing López Toca promoted as he was appointed for final 2nd leg. But, this is a clear message from CTA-RFEF: it doesn't matter if you are appointed for 2nd leg of final, if you have a sub-par performance you might not be promoted.

      FYI, I'd mark López Toca's performance yesterday as 7.8(1) if we accept that originally calling the RC after OFR for SFP challenge as a reckless YC is a crucial mistake. I said he reminded me a lot of Kim Milton Nielsen due to his relaxed style, but one thing is 'relaxed' and other thing is 'passive'. A -0.1 deduction of the original 8.2 was due to a missed clear YC for reckless elbow in the late stages of the game in which he didn't even call a foul.

      @Chefren I think so, although I can't explain how his style is, maybe George can help me. I'd say his biggest strength are decision taking, he has a quite law-enforcing style without being 'aggresive' on it.

    6. I agree, also in terms of age (although with the limit removal that might have lost a bit of weight).

      Regarding yesterday's performance, I also agree, but I think the missed YC could have also been a red given the movement of the arm. To me, it looked more like being used as a weapon than a tool, as I had the impression that he gave more strength to the arm while in contact with the other player's neck. But yes, at the very least, a YC missed. I don't know if that played a role, though, or if the promotion decisions had already been made. I guess it did, seeing that the official leakers (Ramón Fuentes and Isaac Fouto, who have been both playing a disgusting role in the Deportivo - Fuenlabrada scandal) didn't consider Figueroa and did consider López Toca when they already knew Prieto Iglesia's demotion.

    8. Second demotion for Prieto Iglesias (first in 2016, when he was 35).

      Delete
    9. Prieto Iglesias should consider retirement from refereeing becouse he dont gonna accomplished any big goal in refereeing. Full of respect to him but thats like that.

      Delete
    10. About Noval Font. Pitty to demote him but I heard that he is good surgeon so, not very bad for him.

      Delete
  3. Women's Champions League semifinals
    Wolfsburg - Barcelona:
    Kulcsar (HUN) - Telek (AUT), Baranowska (POL) - Monzul (UKR)
    Paris - Lyon:
    Pustovoitova (RUS) - Kurochkina (RUS), Kaivoja (EST) - Martincic (CRO)

    I think, Lehtovaara or Persson for the final. Don't really see anyone else - if not somebody gets a second final.

    1. Swedish ref in the final with Villa as observer.

    2. Lehtovaara is appointed in Finland on 29th so my guess is Persson for the Final

  4. Although it is related to my previous OT, I think this deserves a new post rather than a reply to the previous one.

    Well, I said that, to me, the decision to demote César Manuel Noval Font was very surprising. It seems that it is so for him as well. He has just released a video in which he says that the decision is not based on sporting merits, but rather due to the fact that he has a good relation with some professional player (some of which are still active and have been refereed by him, as Roberto Soldado) and has appeared on the media recently. He demands more transparency and naturality to the CTA and hopes he can continue enjoying football.

    I'll add that not returning to the competition after Covid suspension might have played a role as well.

    1. It's clear that CTA-RFEF didn't like to see him having a party in a yacht along with some LaLiga players...

      Is it worth a demotion? Debatable. I don't know what will be of Noval Font, if he will handle games in Segunda or will retire, given that he openly criticized CTA-RFEF asking for more transparency in the video you mentioned.
