EL GS debuts for Mariani and Balakin?
ReplyDeleteFor those who asked where are the Italians, here is Mariani's appointment anticipated by many readers:)
DeleteI 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.
DeleteSeems like Committee was very unhappy with Marciniak's last performances because it is now obvious he is suspended for first two matchdays. It will be interesting to see how will Committee treat him in the following matchdays - will he get Europa League match or some "low profile" Champions League match like Cakir last year after his suspension.
ReplyDeleteIt was reported last week in Croatian media that Bebek is appointed this week in Europa League maybe COVID reasons - could be that Schärer is replacing him.
I really hope not, it would be terrible because Bebek officiated a match this weekend. And Dinamo is in EL...
DeleteI don't think Covid is reason. In next matchday in Croatian Prva HNL, Bebek and his ARs for UEFA matches are appointed.
DeleteYes Bebek is appointed this weekend but as VAR. I don't know what happened then? Maybe it was wrongly reported that he is appointed, maybe he is appointed for Matchday 3?
DeleteA więc brak Szymona w dwóch pierwszych kolejkach grupowych oznacza brak uznania w oczach Rosettiego,Szymon zawsze bedzie miał pod górke tylko dlaytego ze jest z Polski a nie z jakiejś liczącej sie w Europie federascji..
ReplyDeleteMy friend, Poland has 1 Elite referee and FOUR (!) First group referees (Gil, Raczkowski, Frankowski and Stefanski).
DeleteWhat are you talking about? Lots of non-big 5 federations wish they had so many referees there.
No a ilu z nich jest powoływanych?Gil głownie jako Var a pozostali sporadycznie na nieznaczące gry grupowe...
DeleteEnglish, please.
DeleteIt is a very harsh decision by committee to rule Marciniak out from MD1 and MD2 in both CL and EL, I agree, but the mistake he made in Sweden - France was really something impossible to explai. An Elite referee in front of such scene must immediately send off the player.
DeleteHowever, given that committee is really flexible and the very particular situation of this group stage, I expect him on next week for MD3, then when European cups will resume after November's break, he could get two assignments. I wouldn't be so desperate regarding his treatment.
Mysle ze gdyby komisja byla sprawiedliwa w dwie strony to po meczu Francja-Chorwacja Bjorn tez nie powinien dostac powołania bo byl akurat w tych zawodach słaby a jednak dostał az 2 powołania i to do CL
DeleteLASK (AUT) - PFC Ludogorets 1945 (BUL
ReplyDeleteDebut de Guadalupe Porras en competicion masculina internacional
Filip Glova and Hugh Dallas?
ReplyDeleteHe seems to be on focus by committee after two EL group stage assignments on last season, EURO UNDER 19 in Armenia last year, some Nations League clashes...
DeleteEber Aquino from Parguay and Andrés Rojas from Colombia will handle the King's Cup Semifinals in Saudi Arabia today. I am hoping somebody with a better grasp of Arabic than me can translate the full appointments :)
ReplyDeleteGuadalupe Porras Ayuso has also a Women's EURO qualifying game today, 48 hours before Europa League assignment... "classic management" by RFEF-CTA.
ReplyDeleteNo one else is available, as English assigners would say:)
DeleteWho was the best in colombia oscar ruiz or cadena torres or wilmar roldan ?
ReplyDeleteTotally different times, difficult to compare. In terms of performance, Torres Cadena reached World Cup semi-finals in 1994.
DeleteWell, WC 1994 was rather weird with respect to referee appointments: Philip Don from England, for example, was promoted to the FIFA list only two years ago and handled just three UEFA Champions League matches, amongst them the final 1994.
DeleteAgree Peter but Don was a replacement of John Blankenstein, first referee appointed who was dismissed on the match probably because of his coming out...
DeleteWeird or not, Don got a Champions League final and a World Cup quarter-final in 1994, which are important achievements. Same as the World Cup semi-final for Torres Cadena. Ruiz never reached that level and Roldan did not come even close.
DeleteGood appointment also for Stavrev.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed to see two of the younger premier league officials taking center stage
ReplyDeleteSrdjan Jovanovic and his team replaces Mykola Balakin and his team in Feyenoord-Wolfsberger AC. Thorsten Schiffner will be AR2 in Stavrev's team.
ReplyDeleteDo you know why Aliyar Aghayev (Azerbaijan) Group 1 Ref didn't get any appointment on MD1 and 2?
ReplyDeleteActually interesting ,Aliyar Aghayev really good prospective referee But as I know Aghayev has not any support from his committee because now the chairman of Azerbaijan Referees Fritz Stuchlik from Austria . As A Referee I do not know about Stuchlik but as a person I do not think he is beeing respected in Europe ,so it means he can not help Aliyar Aghayev . I think Federation has to think about Stuchlik because almost more than 2 years he is wasting a time of Aghayev
DeleteThank you very much for the information.
DeleteStuchlik was fired by OFB a few years ago, but he gets good appointments as observer from UEFA. I do not know whether there is any personal conflict between him and Aghayev, but a referee's career should not depend on another person's reputation.
DeleteIt is reported that all three Balakin and his assistant referees were tested positive to Coronavirus, and so they were replaced. It should be the first case of a referee DIRECTLY positive and then replaced.
ReplyDeleteAs I reported before, the other replacements were only because officials had been in contact with other positive people.
Sad! I was looking forward to observe him, he looks promising.
DeleteReferee: Mykola Balakin (UKR) NEGATIVE
DeleteAssistant Referee 1: Andrii Skrypka (UKR) POSITIVE
Assistant Referee 2: Semen Shlonchak (UKR) POSITIVE
Thanks, so the news reported was partially wrong.
DeleteGuida's trio with both assistant referees regularly appointed in serie A (Guida VAR). I'm really sorry that he had to renounce to CL game.

2 penalty awarded by Jovanović. 1 very soft a the 2nd a schwalbe. Very bad start of the Serbian team
ReplyDeleteSchwalbe?
DeleteBoth situations are correctly perceived as trips by Jovanović IMO (try running with your legs clipped like that!) - though the second situation should have resulted in a freekick, not a penalty (DOGSO?).
Delete"Schwalbe" is a German term for simulation/dive.
DeleteSorry Mikael, after seeing replay’s from different angles I can’t see any tripping or foul in both situations. So two times simulation and crucial mistakes.
DeleteThe body language of Jovanovic isn’t helping him aswell. It looks uncertain to me. Not as a ref who is 100% sure of his decision.
The second is not a trip but clear simulation... Whatsup with VAR project in Europa League??
DeleteAny videos?
DeletePenalty given by Lechner to Leicester was more of a dive for my taste.
ReplyDeletehttps://streamable.com/u3i53p
Simulation, in my opinion.
DeleteThere's a contact without doubt but I think Vardy exaggerates it.
DeleteIMO no penalty, but there is a contact. I wouldn't call it a crucial mistake.
DeleteNo penalty. I agree with Chefren
DeleteIMO correct PK by Schärer for Hoffenheim
ReplyDeleteCorrect YC by Özkahya in Milan - Sparta Praha.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, crystal clear PK (holding)
DeleteIMO wrong PK by Stavrev, it was a free-kick.
ReplyDeleteCorrect YC for André for dissent though
DeleteTwo correct penalties awarded by Schärer: first one for trip (IMO missed a YC as it was DOGSO-attempt), second one for handball (harsh for my taste but surely correct in UEFA). Not much challenged apart from those incidents.
ReplyDelete1st pen: https://streamable.com/0i7lrq
Delete2nd pen: https://streamable.com/q8b8s4
Very well Schärer
DeleteIMO two clear penalties.
DeleteBoth penalties Wolfsberger wrong!
ReplyDeleteVideos?
DeleteAbout the penalty given by Lechner - it is not a 'cut-and-dry' case of attacker instigating the contact (=> simulation) as it looks. Leicester player is already stumbling after a trip from an AEK defender (https://imgur.com/a/ysLpb3Y), before the attacker performs his 'trick' of kicking the goalkeeper and falling.
ReplyDeleteVery tricky! This is why observers with the benefit of a debrief have an advantage over 'us' :)
Missed offside by AR2 in Feyenoord-Wolfsberger?
ReplyDeleteExcellent onside by AR1 before Rasgrad Goal.
ReplyDeleteNow 3rd wrong penalty and missed penalty feyenoord by Jovanović...I think he is drunk?totally crazy
ReplyDeleteNow 3rd wrong penalty and missed penalty feyenoord by Jovanović...I think he is drunk?totally crazy
ReplyDeleteThis one was definitely a penalty though. The keeper goes into that challenge knee first
DeleteI can't believe what Jovanović is doing tonight
ReplyDeleteCorrect 2YC + PK by Peljto.
ReplyDeleteMy fault, it's a straight RC...
DeleteUEFA should investigate on this game in Rotterdam.
ReplyDeleteDisgraceful performance of Jovanovic in Rotterdam! Every crucial 50/50 decision goes in favour of the Austrian, far and far away from Elite level.
ReplyDeleteAll penaltys are correct, what are you talking about?
DeleteCan anyone send us videos?
DeleteIMO 1st and 3rd PKs are correct, 2nd one looks like a dive for me.
DeleteAgree with Quilava
DeleteReally agree with Quilava on this one.
DeleteHe couldn't see 2nd PK clearly, from his position he couldn't see it clearly i'm surhttps://law5-theref.blogspot.com/logout?d=https://www.blogger.com/logout-redirect.g?blogID%3D3596681196436096141%26postID%3D1864065812330377766e and made a mistake.
https://oms.ourclips.net/embed/TzoUTf8meVeun
DeleteVery hard decision for Peljto. Pk and rc for Siva. Dogso indeed. Tough situation.
ReplyDeleteCamara was going out either way because he had a YC already.
DeleteAccording to UEFA it was a straight RC, don't know if DOGSO/SFP
PK + 2nd YC for LASK Linz defender by Estrada Fernández.
ReplyDeleteWas it a deliberate handball?
For me it wasn't deliberate, defender dived in block, arm stayed below him. Correct decision for 2nd YC and a PK.
DeleteIt doesn’t need to be deliberate in order to be a handball offence.
DeleteVery good PK and straight RC (defender had a yellow already) by Peljto. Nicely managed dissent.
ReplyDeleteVery calm and alert ref. Good performance, especially his managing of dissents.
DeleteAll 3 penaltys from Srdjan Jovanovic
ReplyDeletehttps://www.rezultati.com/utakmica/hjDKdAl2/#video
IMO the first and the third penalty is absolutely supportable, but the 2nd one seems to be a dive.
DeleteCorrect PK + YC (elbow) for Villarreal by Orel.
ReplyDeleteRosetti should be very happy: good performance by Mariani in an easy-going match, with no controversy, so no one will talk about refereeing.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I simply can't see a scandalous performance at all from Jovanović. Two of the three penalties given are correct (other one was just outside), and the situation where Feyenoord wanted a penalty in the second half was a clear dive (defender pulls his leg away, swan dive from the attacker). If I may say so, I think some readers are watching through orange-tinted glasses.
ReplyDeleteI am totally neutral in this one but for me both Wolfsberger's penalties were really soft if there was any contact then it was minimal. And I am still not sure about even slightest contact after watching replays several times.
DeleteAll penaltys coreect but we can discuss about second one if it was inside or outside..
DeleteMy opinion:
Delete1st penalty: Correct
2nd penalty: Dive
3rd penalty: GK cleared the ball but goalkeepers shouldn't be encourage to go with knees ahead, I'd support it.
Didn't watch Feyenoord PK claim.
JOVANOVIC’s performance was fully analyzed on Serbian TV from Zdravko Jokic, UEFA referee observer. He said that first and third penalty were correct (third due to knee offense and intensity), and about second that he doesn’t see the contact (but if there is contact it is inside). He said that Jovanović was far away from the action. About Feyenoord goal - the decision from AR2 was correct: the player “offside” was behind the GK (so didn’t distract him) and when the ball went in, he was already behind goal line. So, the goal should stand.
DeleteMr. Jokić is incorrect concerning the second penalty - you can see the moment of the contact here.
Deletehttps://imgur.com/a/PVcwGyJ
Sorry Mikael, but from that angle you can’t tell. There can still be space in between the players. Unfortunately i don’t have a link but saw totally no contact there. The attacker makes it look like it,because he leaves his foot for a moment hanging. Absolutly a simulation.
DeletePenalty appeal of feyenoord correctly rejected. But would have supported this one if he had given it. In line with the ver very light foul of the first austrian penalty. Where I don’t see contact but haven’t seen the correct angle yet. So remains a mistake to my opinion.
Third penalty correct. GK shouldn’t be there and no need to use the knee in this way.
So overall two mistakes who are crucial for this match.
I think Jokic is no longer UEFA referee observer (retired due to age?); otherwise an active referee observer is not allowed to make public comments about UEFA matches.
DeletePenalty whistled by Ivanov, but where is caution?!?!
ReplyDeleteIt is time for Champions League for Peljto. Top performance. Very nervous game, top managment, very calm and confident.
ReplyDeleteI expected him in Champions League as first game of this group stage, no doubts that now it will happen!
DeleteBosnian Premier League isn't using VAR yet...
DeleteAlthough Peljto is going to educations and trainings, that could be the reason why he won't do CL.
You are right, I forgot the issue with VAR.
DeletePenalty is fully correct, however I think RC was harsh. It is reckless not DOGSO.
DeleteIMO, it is DOGSO, without the foul, the attacker could have controlled the ball better. However also an attempt to play the ball, therefore still a YC.
DeleteBut assessing it as SFP is at least not clearly wrong, I think.
RC for Leverkusen by Collum. Your opinion?
ReplyDeleteWow, I understand why he issued it but I think that it's not SFP.
DeleteBig mistake. Collum didn’t see it, and got wrong advice. Nothing more than YC.
DeleteSFP for me.
DeleteYeah, definitely. He was about to issue a YC, then he received some wrong info from FO/AR2 and incorrectly changed his mind.
DeleteHere is video : https://streamable.com/6p9w25
DeleteLooks like 4O Nick Walsh has given that one, but you can see from the replays that the studs don't make contact.
DeleteFull video:
Deletehttps://streamja.com/JoJbX
Interesting that at first glance Collum was clearly going with a YC then he stopped his action to show it and he waited.
Advice by Fourth Official or Assistant Referee 1.
I think the challenge is very dangerous, but as it seems there isn't almost any contact... more YC for me. However, for sure YC because it was dangerous. This wasn't an assessmeny made by Collum, but suggested by another official, in my opinion.
I think the fact that it looks like it was studs to the Achilles tendon that red is the correct card. Unless there is a replay that shows no studs to the Achilles I don't think there is enough to say it's a wrong call
DeleteAgree with wwjd. On live, clear red card. Not an obvious mistake. Clearly very dangerous ! But with VAR, definitively OFR needed and perhaps corrected only with YC as Chefren said...
DeleteIMO a YC would be better, because there is almost no contact, however RC isn't a crucial mistake for me.
DeleteTohver in the Rangers match - YC but possible SFP around 15 minutes by a Lech Poznan player, right on the back of his opponents ankle.
ReplyDeleteinteresting situation and did not get a clear view yet, but the Omonia goal vs PSV is worth a look. Was the bal stationary or not.
ReplyDeleteBall was moving for sure, but did he whistle foul or played advantage?
DeleteYes, he whistled and I agree, that the ball was still moving.
DeleteFábio Veríssimo was very good in Belgrade in not much demanding match where Red Star crashed Liberec. One clear YC missed and that’s all.
ReplyDeleteI think that Rumsas was EXTREMELY lucky that ball was stopped before Omonia player's shot.
ReplyDeleteExpect the unexpected :D
Now I understand why Dallas moved to observe Glova. What a referee, what a presence, what athleticism, what an interpreter! Wow, excellent
ReplyDeleteSomeone in Slovenia will be envious:)

ReplyDeleteBall was moving, clearly an irregular goal, referee was not watching but he allowed this quick restart.
Pity about that. Loved Rumsas style and fitness btw. Pleasure to see him in action.
DeleteIMO that's an absolutely avoidable mistake, however it does not seem to be as important as other incidents this evening.
DeleteInteresting situation in Real Sociedad - Napoli, minute 86'.
ReplyDeleteDisallowed goal because Pawson detected a double touch by a free kick taker, he slipped during the kick. Very rare to notice that, I must praise Pawson.
Hm, also a possible explanation, but I don't really see that double touch.
DeleteOK, in a further replay it could be seen. Well done in that case - and he didn't even directly look at it...
DeleteIndeed replay showed that Pawson was not looking at the player, so two explanations:
Delete1) he perceived that afterwards by intuition
2) report by assistant referee
Interesting disallowed goal by Pawson (86') - probably for not respecting the distance to the wall at a free kick.
ReplyDeleteGood performance by Letexier in Lisbon. Two - correct or supportable - PK whistled in a match completely overtaken by Benfica. 3 correct YC, some for dissent. Easy match act all.
ReplyDeleteAnd this one @Frenchref?
Deletehttps://streamable.com/tkosdl
86' possible PK
or DFK and 2nd caution for Benfica defender.
For referee only DFK and no caution...
Tight situation. Without VAR and possible help of another member of ref’s team, very difficult to assess. So supportable call by Letexier.
DeleteConcerning YC, as isolated action, perhaps possible but in this match, not necessary to exclude the player for that. Score was made. Almost no reaction of belgian players. I guess Koukoulakis will be happy of the management here.
The (2nd) caution for me is not mandatory, but the foul was inside the penalty area. Notice where the leg of the defender lands on the ground. This line of the penalty area is the sole responsibility of the referee, so in my opinion his anticipation/positioning is not optimal in order to have an accurate assessment of inside/outside.
DeleteFormer WC final referee Webb keeps preaching that, in such situations, if the referee is in doubt, he should award a DFK rather than a PK.
DeleteCould very well be, but my point is that when in a better position there will be no (or less) doubt and that should have resulted in a correct decision.
DeleteIMO very diffcult to assess and FK is probably the better choice, when he is in doubt, but after seeing the pictures one have to admit that this is a penalty.
DeleteRangers - Lech Poznań (Kristo Tohver)
ReplyDelete16' - Reckless or SFP?
https://streamable.com/mtxd5r
Apart from that, one mandatory YC missed (reckless stamp of #11LCH, 31') and solid performance overall in what was a rather easy game for the referee. I liked how Tohver communicates with players in an elegant manner, with full respect but also arousing respect.
I watched the whole match on TV and would entirely agree with your observations, it was the first time that I had seen him in a full 90 minutes and was impressed with him and his assistants
Delete16' - IMO YC is supportable.

I just checked the statistics of Arsenal - Dundalk and I think this is definitely a record, something quite impossible to happen. Dundalk ended the game without having committed any single foul. The final score about fouls was 20-0 for Arsenal. That's incredibile.

DeleteWhat a disaster to dissallow clear goal for PFE against Porto for 2:0....
ReplyDeleteVAR showed some fanthom faul..
DeleteHonestly Martin Atkinson should retire, really experience doesn't count at this point, he is really laboured... A fanthom SFP in his eye sight, not even a foul or yellow card, thanks to VAR it was reviewed.. watching Atkinson more often than not I get irritated, same as Lee Mason, Graham Scott, Kelvin Friend, only Mike Dean who is within thier age bracket I can still bear but the rest, jeez they are far from play. Really. Tiring
ReplyDeleteSorry for my Language but it is frustrating to see this things happen when Mike Riley as an annual budget of over 21million pounds every year but due to some reasons either favouritism or reasons beyond me this referees are not ask to retire or at least relegated to the lower echelon of the championship and promote quality referees not someone like Simon Hooper who was promoted 2 years ago along with David Coote but I do not think he has more than 10 Premier league games because he is not fit enough..
DeleteAt least you’re the award winner of making the longest sentence without interpunction in the history of the blog :)
DeleteIf I am not mistaken. There was some sort of court action taken against PGMOL. Which pretty much made it impossible for PGMOL to force out the geriatrics. Something having to do with age discriminations. I'm sure others know more about this than I do.
DeleteBeyond that, I'm left to wonder how low and undemanding the physical standards must be for PGMOL referees. A PGMOL that employs Atkinson, Jon Moss and those you listed. And who in the past had fitness stars like Phil Dowd and Alan Wiley.
Does anyone know why Maurizio Mariani wore the Adidas 2018 referee shirt in Antwerp-Tottenham, while his assistants wore the Macron kit. It was quite weird to see, especially on UEFA level.
ReplyDeleteVery strange indeed....
DeleteHe was promoted so fast that UEFA did not have time to send him the Macron kit:)
DeleteBut why couldn't he borrow a shirt from his AR or the FO? They could have worn longsleeve shirts while Mariani could have worn a short-sleeve shirt. Seems very weird to me.

Vassaras and his changes on the Romanian FIFA list:

In my eyes, such changes are good. Avram was 41 and stuck in 2nd group without any chances for promotion. Coltescu, 43, was demoted to 3rd group.
Deleteit's only logical to make room for younger referees.
"There would be much to discuss about Vassaras, including how he did not give a 2-year extension on the FIFA list to Miklos Nagy, as he did for Octavian Șovre (born July 19, 1973), after Nagy, the former FIFA assistant from Cluj, who has a construction company, refused to buy carpentry from a Greek manufacturer recommended by Vassaras as "my friend".
