No big game for Marciniak
ReplyDeleteNo big game? With all the tensions?
DeleteIndeed, considering what just happened in Artsakh/Nagorno Karabakh...
Delete@Philipp S You are very good predicting Turpin's games, two in a row ;)
ReplyDeleteBut I think, it's the only one I got correct on MD5...
DeleteUEFA announces a documentary about referees launches on 16 november 2020:
ReplyDeletehttps://www.uefa.com/insideuefa/about-uefa/news/0263-10d5b1e103a4-b6224a3ebb1b-1000--uefa-announces-man-in-the-middle-documentary/
It's BEAUTIFUL!!!
DeleteLooks very promising from the trailer.
DeleteAnd Madden added to a list of Elite referees there - do they know more? ;)
Looks like a 'Kill the Referee' 2.0 with UCL referees.
DeleteReally looking forward to it! :D
What a great insight, I will look forward to it.
DeleteAs for Madden to elite I think his time has passed. He was unfortunate to wait behind Collum and Thomson for some years and after Thomson’s retirement he was for sure slowed down while young Dallas was pushed, which ultimately was always going to fail. Quite a shame he will never make that step and likely he is only featured here as he does appear to have a good personality.
I'm excited to see what kind of series this will be. It could be some sort of promotion of referees or will it be a series in which is reflected on mistakes / controversial performances as well (Marciniak, Zwayer and Rocchi are the first names that come to mind)?
DeleteWow; fantastic ! I saw the presentation and it seems wonderful; really like "Kill the Referee 2008". I cannot wait anymore for it....
Delete"Kill the referee" was really nice; I saw it so many times that I can remember any picture and dialogue... :-)
a good match for the Croatian team of referees, Jović and his team have been especially trusted lately
ReplyDeleteRizzoli replaced as observer in Netherlands - Bosnia and Herzegovina.
ReplyDeleteAbout Jovanovic, after the discussed performance in Europa League, UEFA has assigned Trentalange, that's an interesting choice.
According to the observer appointed, big test for Nyberg in Hungary. I remember some years ago, it was reported on this blog by a reader from Sweden "Swedish observer" that indeed he was about to become a talent on next years. This looks to be a quite good prediction, so far.
I've seen Mariani and Kavanagh's names on this blog more in the last two months than some members of my family XDDDDD
ReplyDeleteFarewell match for Marius Avram, nice from UEFA.
Also happy for Rumšas, I'm a bit suprised to see him appointed after his (probable) technical mistake in Omonia-PSV for which I felt quite sorry because I think that he's a good and talented referee.
Nyberg under the eyes of Vassarás (interesting) and also Jovanović with Trentalange, I feel like he's getting a lot of appointments recently (although FEY-WOL was a replacement)
UEFA searching for the next Turkish Elite, Meler in League A and Palabiyik with Tutk.
I see Palabiyik ahead of Meler in terms of the appointments and possibly he will be next elite. But Meler will also have chance to be elite in a short while.
Delete@Quilava
DeleteActually Mariani and Kavanagh havent been appointed so much recently, although we all have that impression. They both had intense September, but only one GS game for each of them so far.
Although he said in the last two months, I think he meant this season, which started in August. I do not keep such stats, but I think that Mariani, Kavanagh and maybe Jovanovic got the most UEFA appointments (besides those who did the Final 8) since the competitions restarted. Nothing wrong with that, if they would be the biggest talents of the new generation, but are they?
DeleteJovanovic and Frankowski with their 3rd appointment in this NL season.
ReplyDeleteKovacs as well.
DeleteNo Aliyar Aghayev appointment still...
ReplyDeleteWhen are promotions/relegation in NL ?
ReplyDeleteAfter MD6 next week, it will be clear, which teams are promoted and relegated.
DeleteOnly League C needs a relegation play-out which is planned for March 2022.
The next NL season starts in June 2022.
Portuguese referees in low form.
ReplyDeleteDias, Martins, Verissimo and Godinho with only 1 game in the NL.
Pinheiro still with Sars_Cov_2
UEFA confirms that : Romania - Norway is cancelled about Norway Team quarantined at home.

guy has no game management skills. blows his whistle every 2 secs for no reason doesn't let the game flow
ReplyDeleteKovacs has been very poor in the Slovenia-Scotland game. Game has had many promising moments to flourish stopped by the needless whistle. Add in some very confusing decisions relating to fouls and cautions being given, then not moments later has added to this down performance.
ReplyDeleteSlovenia plays Kosovo later tonight. Scotland played in Slovakia, which is a completely different country.
DeleteHow can people believe what you are saying if you don't even know what game you watched...? :)
Got to disagree with Former ref, although i was hoping for a Scotland win I thought Kovacs had an excellent match, all the 8 yellow cards were fully justified and he was always in control. A good prospect for the future
DeleteMarius Avram looks like a referee from decades ago - balding head, short stature, in his early forties, wearing long-sleeved black kit. :D
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and thank you!
Totally wrong offside call in NEDBIH in ‘26 by AR2. Goal disallowed
ReplyDeleteWrongly disallowed goal for offside in 27' by AR2 in NED-BIH. Bit of a shame, because Letexier was having a great first half so far.
ReplyDeleteWell, he didn’t have anything to do yet. No challenge whatsoever until this moment.
DeleteIn the first 20 minutes of the game he experienced quite obvious positioning issues, resulting in him falling to the ground after being hit by the ball.
Agreed that it was not really a challenging game so far indeed! I do however like his communication style and the way he explains even some small decisions to players, hence I said he was having a good first half.
DeleteAbsolutely agreed on that, very pleasant ref to watch! I only thought ‘great’ was a bit too much for a game of this level of difficulty :)
DeleteLink to the disallowed goal:
Deletehttps://twitter.com/NOSsport/status/1328027833537601538?s=19
In 26. minute a third Dutch goal is incorrectly disallowed for offside. There was no offside in the first place, and apart from that the goal was scored by a defender and the attacker who allegedly was judged offside didn’t interfere with play nor opponent.
ReplyDeleteWrongly disallowed goal by Letexier’s AR2. A shame, Mehdi Rahmouni is usually one of the very best AR in France.
ReplyDeleteThis was a quite clear situation. Big mistake
DeleteAnd a mistake of both assistant referee (regarding offside position) and referee (assessment of the element of interfering).
DeleteRC by Marciniak: https://streamable.com/42jymf
ReplyDeletehttps://ss.sport-express.ru/userfiles/materials/162/1628074/origin_7ae16947.jpg
DeleteIMO very difficult to assess. I wouldn't call it a mistake, but it's not crystal clear.
DeleteI don't see any foult by the defender. Play on, imo
DeleteMissed rc by Letexier?
ReplyDeleteDifficult situation in 38' in NED-BIH. For me a RC, as BIH #4 purposefully steps on the foot of the Dutch player long after the ball had been played.
ReplyDeleteLink to the incident: https://twitter.com/NOSvoetbal/status/1328032376937738240?s=19
DeleteJust an image of an action. Russian player pulled Turkish player first and while falling Turkish player pulled his jersey. Imo faul iş correct but RC wrong as another defender was close and Turkish player is not fully in control of ball.
DeleteI wrote my reply to wrong mesaage. Sorry.
DeleteNot difficult IMO. Studs on the foot, textbook YC but nothing more.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that the Bosnian player did not challenge for the ball at all, but makes the tackle seconds later, does provide an argument for VC IMO. But I agree, following the LotG, studs on foot is not enough to be called excessive force.
DeleteNetherlands-Bosnia Herzegovina 1st half clips:
ReplyDelete26’ Disallowed goal NED - offside
https://streamable.com/2fp3dl
38’ YC Todorovic - UB or VC?
https://streamable.com/gsk9uo
IMO
Delete26' - Absolutely bad decision by AR2.
38' - Borderline, but I'm okay with YC here.
Thanks for the videos.
DeleteAbout the disallowed goal, it is exclusive AR's mistake.
I don't see faults by referee in this case, he couldn't know that player was in regular position. The call should be related to the last player who scored, not the previous one who was clearly onside.
About the situation in 38', I know that many readers have different ideas on this blog, but when I see a player aware that ball has gone but he still does that, well, I don't see arguments for issuing only YC. It is a clear RC to me.
Totally Agree with Chefren
DeleteClear red card in my opinion
DeleteCorrect PK for Turkey by Marciniak.
ReplyDeleteMistaken red card and mistaken penalty by Marciniak in Turkey Russia. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteRC for me was correct, PK wrong.
DeletePenalty correct- defender played the ball bit at the same time tripped the Turkish attacker who could still play the ball- that's why PK
DeleteRed card and penalty kick as correct as possible
DeleteAt the red card there appears to be a foul by the attacker first but a difficult call.
DeleteThe penalty is wrong, it’s not basketball we are playing. Ball clearly played by defender. Marciniak was a good referee for a period but he really has lost his form the last two years.
why the conclusion that now he is a weak referee
DeleteWrong penalty for Turkey in my opinion...
ReplyDeleteDefender touched the left foot of Turkish player at last instance. Soft but he couldn't put his left foot to the ground.
Delete60' Correct PK for Bulgaria by Rumsas, also correct YC for FIN14 (DOGSO with genuine attempt to play the ball)
ReplyDelete67' Another correct PK for Bulgaria, handball by FIN2.
ReplyDeleteA clip from the Wales - Republic of Ireland game handled by Petr Ardeleanu.
ReplyDelete=> 39' Violent Conduct by Wales no.16? Yellow card given (+ YC to IRL no.22)
https://streamable.com/9se01s
Yes, VC, because he attempts to hit much harder than he does.
DeleteIMO YC for IRL no.22 is okay, but a RC for Wales no.16 is mandatory here.
DeleteI watched Kovacs in the Scotland game, I’m not totally convinced by him yet. There was a period in the first half where there were five or six wrongly awarded free kicks in succession. He has skills for sure but needs to develop his feeling for the game and relationship with players.
ReplyDeleteWas happy to see Collum have a good performance in Switzerland last night. Two correct penalties and a red card. Would be nice to see him in champions league in next match days and show some consistency.
Great offside decision by Turpin and his AR1. Well done !!
ReplyDeleteExcellent cooperation Turpin - AR1 for disallowing a goal scored by Italy, a player in offside was impeding goalkeeper's movement. We see that without VAR these decisions are always very difficult to take, so I praise the official involved.
ReplyDeleteBut, a few minutes later, minute 22', missed RC for deliberate violent coundct by Lewandowski. Unluckily, Turpin not in the best position to view it, he had his view obstructed.
Very clear movement with elbow toward opponent's body.
Very challenging first half, now penalty to Italy, in my opinion absolutely correct decision, to be checked whether player was onside or not. With the chance to control the ball coming from a long distance, YC is reasonable choice (SPA), not clear DOGSO.
ReplyDelete“Great connection with players as always...” LOL. But Chefren also said missed violent conduct, what about?
ReplyDeleteTurpin excellent.
ReplyDeleteYou must be kidding!
DeleteTurpin commits a serious mistake, an evident penalty kick for the Italian national team and a yellow card for a Polish player
Delete50' missed YC by Turpin, in my opinion very clear for a reckless challenge by Acerbi. In terms of disciplinary control Turpin today is rather very lenient...
ReplyDeleteHow on earth Acerbi escapes a yellow card here?? If this is no card no will be given anymore
Delete55' correctly rejected penalty appeal by Italy for handball, arm in natural position, close to body.
ReplyDelete62' another moment of tension after a very bad foul, close to AR1.
ReplyDeleteAgain, I think RC was missed by Turpin (excessive force). Looked like a revenge foul.
RC missed and miss foul by Turpin!
ReplyDelete2nd missed RC for Turpin and 1 missed YC. Awful cautions management tonight for the French ref
ReplyDeleteIndeed, terrible management by Turpin and team tonight. Where is @frenchref tonight?
DeleteYou can see my comments below dear anonymous ;)
DeleteSo far two clear missed RC for which I strongly hope VAR would have intervened in a CL game, and a missed YC. However, the control on the game is still solid and this is a great skill by the French.
ReplyDeleteAnd now a clear penalty missed. But, yes, he is control ...
DeleteI find it very difficult to agree with your views Chefren although I only saw the highlights on TV. Not long after the penalty there was a dreadful tackle by an Italy defender near the touchline which bordered a straight red card, not even a free kick was given resulting in an even worse retaliatory tackle by a Poland player which resulted in a mass confrontation by players of both teams and resulted in only a yellow card to the Poland player which should have been a clear red card for serious foul play. However had the first tackle been penalised and the Italy player red carded, the second foul by the Poland player probably would not have happened. I dont think his handling of this situation could be viewed as "great skill" by any stretch of imagination, and if Melo Periero also considers he missed two clear RC, I shudder to think what his final mark will be
Delete73' unluckily a missed penalty for handball is the next crucial mistake in Turpin game. Shot on goal stopped by arm, not close to body.
ReplyDeleteMissed penalty (handball) + YC i think.
ReplyDeleteWhy was Massey-Ellis missing from Kavanagh’s team
ReplyDeleteCOVID Reasons
DeleteI know I’m not always very objective when it comes to French officials, but I’m actually very pleased with what I see from Turpin today.
ReplyDeleteRegarding key incidents, the major point for discussion is the potential RC in the 1H. IMO this was a RC, and Turpin did not even book the player. Bad luck, his view on the incident was obstructed. The RC of 62’ is not mandatory, YC should be supported here IMO.
PK and offside calls in first half correct, and I truly praise AR 1 for this awesome call.
No PK for both handballs is correct too IMO.
But I’d like to focus on Clément Turpin’s soft skills tonight. I must say his relationship with the players is remarkable, and this is something rather new. He used to be quite nervous, very sharp with the players and not open to discussion. Tonight he delivers an absolute masterclass regarding this aspect : open, smiling, relax.
Reviewing the second PK appeal for handball, I think more PK than play on.
DeleteBoth RC are mandatory. The PK in 2nd half too. Missed also a clear YC. Let’s be objective, this was a bad performance, shit happens and Turpin will raise again.
DeleteYes, I agree. My comment was more on his soft skills, something very recent and noticeable I think.
DeleteMaybe next time he can try both?
DeleteGosh, probably the worst performance by Turpin in the last years
ReplyDeleteFinally a red card ;)
ReplyDeleteAre there some clips from Turpin missed RC?
ReplyDeleteVery Poor performance for Turpin tonight,
ReplyDeleteNo influence on final score, just a day to forget for Turpin.
ReplyDeleteIt can happen sometimes! However, with three clear crucial mistakes and a missed yellow card, could have been worse in terms of control.
Also, to underline the correct penalty call and the excellent cooperation with AR1 in disallowing the possible 1-0. Game was extremely challenging.
Very challenging game. I think:
ReplyDelete- Missed VC by Lewandowski, Turpin's view was obstruted
- Great disallowed goal and cooperation with AR1
- Correct PK + YC (SPA)
- YC at 62'to be rewatched, my first impression was RC
- Missed penalty (handball) + YC
- Correct second YC
Even if key incidents were missed I liked Turpin control on the game. Very solid soft skill.
Agree with Nathan. Both RC missed by Turpin but first one impossible to see for ref without VAR. Big leniency error with only YC at 62. Second YC correct. Missed penalty too but seemed very unlucky hand and shoot without goal direction.
DeletePoor performance in terms of crucial mistakes but no score influence as Chefren said and remarkable soft skills showed.
Good, expected level performance by Fran Jovic on MDA-GRE. The match was easy for the referee. He had good rapport with players and was always in control. Also good foul detection. Only 3 YC's (2 MDA, 1 GRE) and all were correcr.
ReplyDeleteHi! I was silent this evening to not be accused of being a Polish hater of Szymon Marciniak. ;) but now... please find below the refereeing highlights of Clément Turpin's performance in ITAPOL. I will share my views in due course.
ReplyDeletehttps://ok.ru/video/2422459730540
Only one word for Turpin in this game: a complete DISASTER!
Delete2 missed RCs, one crystal clear YC ("orange") missed, and a clear handball pk missed.
This was a game for Mažić or Brych style, strict and with few YC early to calm things down. There were few really dirty scenes, well beyond "combative".
I have told that Clement Turpin is very chaotic and nervous person, it seems that he hasnt good contact with players and he thinks that he is a god and the best person in the pitch, IMO after his awful performance today he wont be main referee in the most important matches.
Delete@Matio you may not like the referee, but at least please respect the man...
DeleteOK, here are my views:
Delete04' - very good public warning for a late foul, optimal solution after first foul in the game
15', 49' - very good use of advantage!
17' - isolatedly, a missed mandatory YC to #20ITA for reckless strike while fighting for the ball, but after he warned Polish player in 04', I would also support a 'balancing' warning in this case; but the type of the foul seems to be missed on perception level
20' - rightly disallowed ITA goal for offside (good spot by AR1) by impeding GK; quite significant delay before making the final decision but the most important is the final outcome: no goal
23' - #09POL is strongly held by an opponent who is fully behind his back and retaliates by striking him with elbow; FK in favour of POL correctly given, no action against potential violent conduct; Apart of referee's line of vision being blocked, I think it's nearly impossible to be 100% sure about the real intention of #09POL - was he only trying to free himself or did he deliberately strike his opponent out of frustration? I tend towards the latter having watched replays but I cannot imagine a referee who would issue a RC live, even if seeing it properly; interesting if VAR would intervene in case of a) missed incident, b) the referee assessing it as undeliberate (no card or yellow card)
26' - penalty awarded in favour of ITA, YC #10POL for UB/holding; fully correct, good spot by ref and good onside by AR1, nothing to add
29' - YC to #09ITA for reckless kick; correct
34' - potential SPA and 2nd YC #10POL; other defenders ready to intervene, not many teammates to play the ball to - correct no disciplinary action
50' - both players compete for the ball performing dynamic slide tackles, Polish player plays the ball and Italian player creates a painful knee clash; in my opinion it's just a careless foul, nothing malicious, not typically reckless too (collision more than a serious contact), acceptable no disciplinary sanction
55' - penalty incident: handball of POL #10 while blocking a shot on goal; hand in a natural position, not unfairly increasing body surface - correct play-on call!
62' - YC #06POL for reckless tackle; at first there is a tackle of Italian player which is correctly assessed as fair (ball blocked and played, Polish player jumps over an opponent and falls down); then, there's a high-force flying tackle of #06POL; perhaps I would accept a straight red card being given but taking into account that: the point of contact is very low, the straight leg plays the ball and the contact is made only by the second, bent leg, I think the optimal decision was made by the French crew (REF, AR1, 4OF)!
67' - #06POL kicks the ball on the face of a previously fouled opponent who falls down on the ground, no disciplinary action; was there enough time to perform this action in a deliberate manner? I don't think so as it was a split second between Italian player falling down and the kick being made; again, correct decision
73' - penalty incident: handball; missed penalty and YC to #05POL for blocking a shot on goal with hand; the action of Polish defender is targeted on blocking a potential shot; he raises his leg twice in order to block it and at the second time he is hit by the ball in an outstretched hand; crucial mistake
Delete75' - potential reckless stamp and 2nd YC #10POL; Italian player tried to force the referee to show this card; referee doesn't see the incident due to bad positioning, the replay is not the best but if there indeed was a stamp, the 2nd YC could have been given; not clear enough to mark down the referee for that
77' - 2nd YC to #06POL for reckless tackle; Italian player tried to shield the ball but didn't manage to perform the full 'shield', ball is played fairly by #06POL who is carelessly kicked by an opponent finishing the shielding movement; perception mistake, maybe also the tackle in 62' played a role, but it's second crucial mistake
83' - 2-0 goal; #10ITA is in the goal area, close to the Polish goalkeeper, he doesn't obstruct his line of vision but should his presence be assessed as 'clear action...'? I think not strictly interpreting the LotG but after watching some educational videos, I have trouble to say it being 100% sure; grey area?
Many, many incidents - a challenging game for Clément whose body language, mimics and gestures are one of the best if not simply the best in UEFA - such elegant way of refereeing! In my opinion, there are two crucial mistakes: lack of penalty in 73' and 2nd YC in 77'. The rest is either supportable or simply correct (apart from the missed YC in 17'). A strong 7.4 I would say ;)
Great analysis, after rewatching the second YC, indeed wrong perception of the fault by the referee here.
DeleteI respect him and Every person in middle :) but I didnt say nothing words which are disrespectful :)
DeleteBrilliant analysis by Anonymous, I agree with almost everything. I think the game was getting hotter from 62' and I think the first tackle by the Italian could have been whistled, dangerous play (scizor motion) for me. Then the tackle by #06Pol is red for me, because he's out of control with both feet off the ground.
DeleteDidn't watch the late and decisive penalties given by Meler (DEN-ISL) and Frankowski (SVN-GRE). Were they correct?
ReplyDelete*SVN-KOS
DeleteBoth were handball penalties.
DeleteThe DEN-ISL was a correct penalty as arm was far out from the body (although defender didn’t have any idea where the ball was).
Penalty in SVN-KOS very debatable in my opinion. Arm was tight to the body and not even sure if the ball hit the arm or the shoulder.
But Mr Rosetti himself and his companions in the committee haven’t got the slightest idea anymore which handballs to call and which not, so I guess the referees can’t be blamed.
Austria equalizer was from an offside. But difficult to spot in real time without VAR...
ReplyDeleteUEFA posted 1st episode (it lasts 48 minute) of "Man in the middle" at UEFA.tv :) Are you going to disassemble episodes?
ReplyDeleteP.S. what`s your thoughts about Howard Webb`s book "Man in the middle"?
I would recommend the book. It's by far my favourite english referee book, in my oppinion better than Collinas biography. Give it a read!
DeleteThe first episode of the UEFA documentary on Referees has 3 main protagonists: Turpin, Kuipers and Skomina and the focus matches were from the Champions League season 2018-2019.

DeleteSeems to be a great onside by AR1 Tegoni in AUS-NIR refereed by Mariani
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWnp0Hdtz6w
Yes, very good job
DeleteVery poor performance of Turpin,i think if such a match would happen of Hategan,Grienfield,Zwaayer,Marcianiak,wave of criticism would be much bigger.
ReplyDeleteTo my point of view, the serial "Man in the middle" was preparing to UEFA EURO 2020 and the referees life during the tournament(like "Kill the referee" in 2008, but unfortunately due to COVID-19, we won`t see original idea...

Fun question guys😃😃,let's test our knowledge on the laws of the game. Tho it rarely occurs but if there is a simulation in by a defending player in his/her box and the referee spots it and it is to be punished, what is the correct decision???
ReplyDeleteindirect free kick for the attackers. No penalty kick :P
