    Cüneyt Çakır has decided to retire. He informed the TFF President that he had recieved many offers from abroad, but that he wanted to become a referee trainer by ending his refereeing career in Turkey.

    Carlos Del Cerro Grande in Ferencváros - Qarabağ.
    It was surely a challenging game for the Spanish referee in Budapest. After the first leg ended in a draw, the tie was fully open and the progress of the game showed clearly that.
    He was forced to change his known style, by issuing cards in first half, despite of trying to let the game flow (one of the given cards follows an attempt to play-on on a previous foul). I think his performance was good, he had always the game under control, what happened during the game was not his fault, but rather players behavior, I think he couldn't have done anything better to avoid some situations. The away-team scored an early goal and they managed to build the success on that, but the game was still intensive, until the end. The 0-3 when a few minutes were still missing to end can deceive about the difficulty of the match.

    6' Assessment of a fair challenge on the ball
    https://streamable.com/3naxxp
    Due to a goal scored a few seconds later, replay was not shown. However I think we can say correct assessment with clear gestures by referee.

    28' - Management
    https://streamable.com/wqtti4
    Unclear what happens before a throw-in, due to a replay, very likely away-team started with wasting time strategy. Referee showed to be in control of this situation.

    30', 31' - YCs for SPA
    https://streamable.com/bi2j76
    Heated minutes in first half. Both decisions fully correct, in the second case, still an attempt to play on after the challenge by first player.

    34' - YC for reckless challenge
    https://streamable.com/492v78
    You can see Del Cerro trying again to let game flow, but nothing to do, a fully reckless challenge follows and I must say even borderline to RC, player injured. I think in this moment, in first half, he realized that it was definitely better to have a certain approach in this game.

    62' - YC for reckless use of arm
    https://streamable.com/a5cr2x
    This can be discussed, due to intensity, maybe possible to assess it as only careless, clear foul, no mistake. The YC is rather harsh but not fully wrong. Always difficult to assess such challenges.

    78' - Goal, no offside
    https://streamable.com/89jy2p
    Since it was reported on the blog about a possible offside of Qarabag players, I can confirm it was regular goal.

    84' - YCs for mutual misconducts
    https://streamable.com/vg6cr8
    After a classic action we see very often in many games (forcing the player to get up, a confrontation follows. Both YC fully correct decisions.

    85' - Goal, prevention
    https://streamable.com/ijyerx
    The skills of an Elite referee are in this video, after a goal in the last minutes that can open again the game, even though nothing apparently happens, just run close to net to prevent possible conflicts. Very well done, I think he did that because he saw already the player from Qarabag in potential action against opponent.

    90'+1 YC for time wasting
    https://streamable.com/gqnkdw

    90'+3 YC for handball stopping a shot on goal
    https://streamable.com/qdrl2n
    Very well seen, VAR confirmed it was outside.

    90'+6 Penalty appeal
    https://streamable.com/adyoe5
    This is maybe the most difficult incident of the game to assess, in the meaning that you can have easily arguments in favor of penalty and the careless action is fully evident, with the defender creating a contact with knee. Attacker falls for that, enough for a whistle. Would have been in my opinion something more than a soft penalty because the action is very clear and from one side, but I think an observer can back this choice. Furthermore, but this shouldn't be argument for assessing referee, no impact on the game in any case, even in case of penalty, final whistle to follow after the possible goal (very last minute and maybe already after that). Delayed final whistle by del Cerro who suspended the game, still difficult to manage these moments, in this clip you can see the difficulty that a referee has with VAR, he must force himself to do something different than the past.

    It was a pleasure to see finally a good Del Cerro in such hot game.

      Let's clarify "something more than a soft penalty", I wanted to say, not a soft penalty, but rather an expected one. In the meaning of the contrary to soft.

      I watch the penalty appeal incident deep in stoppage time, at a glance similar to the Leicester vs PSV penalty appeal incident where Kruzliak was in charge.

    3. Mikael W11 August 2022 at 16:01

      Thanks for the clips, Chefren!

      Agree with your resume that Del Cerro had an expected level / good performance in what seemed a hot context. Especially after the third goal we can praise the Spaniard for 'keeping a lid' on everything. Points for criticism: missed foul before 31' booking, missed simulation before 34', whistle in mouth for cautions is too poor/lazy impression, +96' is a clear penalty IMO but play on is acceptable rather correct for UEFA nowadays.

      As a general remark, quite clear that Del Cerro is now a very different format of referee than who was excellently able to chat through games like Schalke vs. Man City with all the technical problems as a players friend. Now, it seems he focuses only on calls, as a more distant leadership figure. But this performance is definitely a positive step from what I saw from him in Ajax vs. Benfica, Seville derby and Egypt (clips) from him. It seems he found new motivation from somewhere! My regards for that, especially having missed a WC ticket.

      Keeping up a solid/consistent level, he should be in the race for EL final this season.

      I never like it when a referee issues cards with whistle-in-mouth, without realizing why I don’t like this, until I read Mikael’s comment. It can look a bit lazy, indeed. Thanks for that. :D

      On topic: I’m glad that DCG is back on track again! It’s always great to see a referee being versatile and able to change his approach.

    5. usaref11 August 2022 at 16:58

      The whistle in mouth is also looks rude and prevents you from being able to talk to players at a point where you could/should be communicating with them. It takes half a second to ensure your whistle isn't in your mouth before carding. I've never understood referees who rise to this sort of level and haven't had this behavior conditioned out of them, so to speak. There was a time period (I'd say late 90s into 2000s) where this was a huge no-no and instructors really got on referees who did it. It seems like, ironically, some of the instruction has become lazy around it. We're too worried about other things to make sure the basics are correct.

      As for the penalty appeal... I don't understand arguments against a penalty there. He's played the ball skillfully through the opponent's legs and cut back. The defender misses the ball and has significant knee on knee contact while taking away the space the attacker needs to go to. It's a clear, clear, clear foul. But we say "not enough" because... why? I am a broken record in this regard, but it's not really a tenable regime when VAR upholds penalties like Bastien's first one and recommends penalties like his second one yet doesn't want to intervene here. This doesn't increase consistency or instill more confidence in officiating. It just makes things more erratic.

      The 90+6 it's a clear penalty, in my oppinion.
      Why we say "it's 90+6 and no difference in the match"?!
      Since when referees make decisions looking at the cloock and ... this is an affordable call !!!
      I'm not saying that we don't look at our watch when making decisions ... but it should not be a justification, when the decision is wrong!

      @usaref: agree. Still there were plenty of big names that regularly keep/kept the whistle in mouth. Orsato, Brych, Kuipers are the first that come to mind, but there are many more. I don’t like it.

      I think its less common under the new generation. E.g. Turpin, Makkelie, Kovacs have the whistle on their wrist. Marciniak on his finger :D

    Thanks Chefren.

    My general observation is that many referees decided to issue early YC, even the big hitters who used to manage or used to be lenient with sanctions. Could this be a signal there are (hopefully) new UEFA instructions that advice to follow the law, to issue the damn card even when it’s early?

      Are you kidding? The hand is to the shoulder and is comind by an opponent!
      For the other situations:
      The first one is a clear foul. The defender is standing still and the attacker is initiating the contact. I think OFR is needed
      The third one - for me the defender is touching the ball and there is hand-ball, so for me is penalty and OFR
      The last one - for me is a clear holding and the referee should see it. Maybe is not for VAR

      Leran the laws of the game and what natural means. He was just about to shoot and every human in history will have to out their arm there for balance. It’s a completely natural movement when shooting a ball. Doesn’t matter if it came from the opponent. Thankfully the referee also knows this.

      -A not too important observer + quite sonorous game = very experienced elite
      -Important observer + sonorous game can be everything ;)

      Rationale:

      You will never find a referee like him... the change of gesture beetween being ready to whistle for foul and advantage before goal is very elegant. About the coach management, nobody would have done that, he is always able to do something different than other referees. You must be very convinced about yourself skills to make such things on the pitch. I think this was the key of his success.
      About the booking, I don't understand the video TBH...

      Thanks for the advice Hans.

      For the trained (past WCs) observer, is easy to work out what happens at 63' ;). AZ no.8 is involved in a duel where he gets caught, you see him limp slightly, after Dundee United miss the shot, he obviously shouts/gestures at Mateu, who then cautions him, before the Spaniard gives the requisite whistle to restart play, from the goalkick, as required in the laws. Yellow card given for dissent.

      I’d love to see Mateu in Eindhoven, but isn’t the observer a Spanish?

      A home game for Marciniak, that would be nice :) he has a game on Sunday, and often works on Wednesday’s after a Sunday game. I’m not sure about Turpin - he has a game in Lorient on Sunday. That’s a quite long travel distance. I thought he is mostly off the weekend before an international game?
      Orsato is a pretty safe bet in 1st leg, considering he is off in the weekend.
      Either Makkelie or Gozubuyuk should fit in somewhere next week. They both work on Saturday. Perhaps the latter gets a game as ‘compensation’ for missing the 3rd round or has a reserve spot. Makkelie works on Saturday in an early game that doesn’t really need him imo, hence I’d bet on him ;)

    Quite easy to guess the referees for Cl play-offs now. At least, those that don’t have a game in Conference league or Europa league

    Orsato
    Kovacs
    Mateu Lahoz
    Marciniak
    Turpin
    Del Cerro Grande
    Vincic
    Zwayer
    Makkelie
    Gozubuyuk
    Soares Dias

    One name missing

    Weird management of the Norwegians…

    What has happened to Eskås? He seems surpassed by Rohit Saggi, who looks like a name on Rosetti’s list now.
