OT: Melbourne derby was abandoned this morning (Euro time) at 20' after fans invaded the pitch and assaulted the goalkeeper and the referee (30-year-old Alexander King, an interesting talent to monitor btw). Disgraceful.
ReplyDeletehttps://twitter.com/JDNalton/status/1604043442010877952
Absolutely shocking, didn't expect that to happen in Australia, very surprising for me.
DeleteIt may be just me. But as a referee, if you see people invading the pitch. Don't move towards them or stay in the area where they're coming. As quickly as possible, get the "F" out of there!
DeleteWhat's the background which led to this? Fans don't usually just invade the pitch for no reason. Well, one would assume, at least not in Australia.
Absolutely terrible and disgraceful. And yes, you are absolutely right, Arbiter, however it seems to me that King initially started to move out of harm's way, but then returned for the goalkeeper (and took a hit intended for him, too). I know it's not up to the referee to act as a security guard, but it's still a brave and admirable move (maybe my professional background is clouding my judgement a bit). Still, strictly according to protocol, he should have stayed away from there, you are fully right.
DeleteI know King and he has told me he’s luckily okay and he’s more bothered about how sad it is for football in Australia, especially after the great WC they had.
DeleteThe reason for the protest was the grand final (biggest game of the season) has been sold to be held in Sydney for the next 3 years, when it has always been at the home of the highest ranked team to qualify.
The protest was meant to be a walkout on 20 minutes and maybe a small disruption on the game; not to hurt anyone.
However a flare was thrown back into the Victory fans from the City keeper which sparked the pitch invasion.
I think King was very brave heading back into it. He probably thought player safety is most important therefore he went back to protect Glover. Not nice to see though I know a few aussies who are hurt by this
8' not being a yellow card really doesn't even surprise me anymore, I'm so desensitized to this high threshold at the World Cup.
ReplyDeleteIt was clear as day,but not even warning is funny..
DeleteCant wait for club football to see some quality officiating.
Quality!?!? Where????
DeleteAnybody knows referee kits for final?Thanks in advance. Cheers!!
ReplyDeleteRed
DeleteNo need to stop the play for that offside, everyone would have been perfectly happy with an advantage 30'
ReplyDeleteПочему он смешно так бегает? Кажется, не всегда занимает удачную позицию
ReplyDeleteNo yc for all that protests is just a shame,level of refereeing is so low...
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. Think about all the grassroots referees who have to deal with protests like this every weekend. All day this is at least one YC...
DeleteYou're right, it sent a really bad image to everyone and it's also damaging to refereeing as a profession, on any level. Apart from this and the missing SPA in 8', his officiating has been fine, but not more as there is almost nothing to challenge him. And I can't even bother to comment on the 8' situation anymore.
Delete33 минута, нельзя так позволять себя унижать судье. Целая толпа его окружила, и нет карточки за несогласие никому
ReplyDeleteCould you write in English please? You should easily understand that nobody outside Russia will understand what you are saying there.
Delete+1 Chefren
Delete(I still agree though! :P)
The referee is very bad at his job. He did not show the card for outright disagreement (33 min). And he also takes a bad position, because he does not know where to run, his running style is very funny.
DeleteI agree too (thank you, Google Translate!).
DeleteI understand Russian but there is no point to have discusion with someone that only few people on the blog can understand.
DeleteI agree with comments. No cards in 8' (SPA) and 33' (wild dissent) are indefensible. If any (con)federation deem it acceptable as long as the referee nicely 'manages' the scene, we might as well just throw the LotG away...
ReplyDelete+ 1, I agree with every single word.
Delete+1 this is the exact problem - "managing" the game is not a cop out for clear offences. It's baffling how often I've heard this used as an argument to defend clear misconduct... players do not know what to expect if there is no clear line drawn
DeleteI accept a leniant approach as a tactical choice in a way, that in situations where you have a 50/50 boarderline decision you just give a warning hoping that the players will continue fairplay and stay relaxed.
DeleteBUT here is not even a doubt about these 2 YCs and not even giving a warning - what would have been not enough anyway - is simply ridicolous and unacceptable. After this WC there should be brave refs from all confederations including ex-refs gathering and starting an offense for a memorandum, forming a network to protect the LOTG!
I KNOW that this idea may sound naive, but it could at least impact the bad development, make committee member think and lead to necessary discussions even among the "important deciders". What do you think?
52'
ReplyDeleteHakimi sprints,someone clips him,no warning even at all.
Missed corner for CRO at '52
ReplyDeleteI believe that referees from UEFA should work at such matches, since all strong players play in European tournaments and are very familiar with the referee, and the referee enjoys high authority among the players. And also no one doubts the high level of these referees
ReplyDeleteyou could be right, but I think one strong reaction from the referee at the beginning of the match can do wonders.
Delete+1
DeleteNot impressed by the Qatar referee so far. He doesn't bother to give mandatory warnings and uses the whistle quite badly. He seems a bit nervous as well.
ReplyDeleteNot very impressed with this team, several missed calls.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Al-Jassim's whistle sounds a bit different. What type of whistle does he use?
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with him?
ReplyDeleteHis goal is obvious,to end match with 0 cards.
Im absolutely disgusted by performance of this refs,cant tell you how much I cant wait for club season to start.
In his previous game, he looked more concentrated, at least this is my impression, I think he lost motivation after the treatment by FIFA in regard to AFC, and he realized that this game was only a gift, nothing else. It seems he doesn't want to apply too much, at least in first game he showed some positive skills... now not the same. The incidents in first half shows us that.
ReplyDeleteGift or not, a duty is a duty. And not just any duty, but the match for 3rd place at the World Cup. If that is not enough to regain motivation, then I'm not really sure what is.
DeleteClear penalty missed, poor by VAR also
ReplyDeleteCLEAR PENALTYYYYYYY,
ReplyDeleteBUT THATS WHAT HE DESERVES,CRUCIAL MISTAKE FOR HIS BAD PERFORMANCE
HAHAHAHAHAHA we really can give up now, incredible.
ReplyDeleteMikael, I try to laugh with you. This is all so absurd, bad joke next level...
DeleteLooked that a penalty for Croatia could have been whistled, not clear how much decisive contact, but stil... the referee now seems a bit in trouble, same impressions of first game, chaotic management, even without crucial mistakes.
ReplyDeleteThis guy is absolutely useless.
ReplyDeleteit's a complete disgrace to the referee, a clear penalty missed
ReplyDeleteClear penalty for Croatia. VAR had to intervene.
ReplyDeleteThis game doesn't decide anything, more of a friendly. Unfortunately non calls in 75 & 76mn
ReplyDelete74' IT should be penalty for Croatia. I dont no why var didnt intervene . Clear and obvious mistake.
ReplyDeleteserious mistake by the qatari and the chilean var for not calling a clear penalty to gvardiol
ReplyDeleteFifa clearly think this game doesn't matter and no one should care about it, by appointing officials on a purely political basis every time, and not to those most worthy. So why should the teams bother for third? I'm sorry, but I'm struggling to see how a trip is no longer a clear foul
ReplyDeleteIf Croatia does not win,then this ref should go down in history
ReplyDeleteRewatched replay, really no explanations for VAR missed intervention, the contact seems to be clear from behind. Bascunan wants to distinsguish again himself in a FIFA "final", but surely that's a minor one... poor level of officiating from Qatari referee, though, too much weak. Game clearly running too far from his control and he can't do anything.
ReplyDeleteThe only bit of doubt is the fact that the attacker is touched on his left foot and then drags his right foot instead of continuing his stride...
DeleteClear penalty for me as well. I decided not to comment initially without rewatching it due to personal bias, however I can rewatch it as long as I want, it still stays a penalty for me.
DeleteClear panalty...do yo have the clip of this situation?
DeleteI feel bad for these tes because neither of them want to loose 2 in a row and with these error, they're missing on scoring opportunities
ReplyDeleteAnd now handball...
ReplyDeleteClear penalty missed to Croatia, after that clear FK to Morocco missed. Only reason I can imagine for VAR not to call is because they think a Croatian PK will cause Al-Jassim to lose control (I agree with that).
ReplyDeleteVery poor, nervous management, total lack of respect for referee on the pitch. Really terrible image for refereeing in 33'. The spiral continues downward...
And now he has totally lost it.
DeleteCollina watching and saying "What the fuck is this guy doing" :'D
ReplyDeleteHe should know him well, you seee, not appointed until today, this should mean something, this was a forced choice for Collina after the treatment of Asian referee, but he would have easily ruled all them out until the end of the tournament, that's clear. This appointment has been made on the importance of the game.
DeleteAnyone knows his merits to be chosen?
ReplyDeleteBeing Qatari....
DeleteA total disaster this referee. Bad YC management and no protest control. Look at 84 minute situation with Morocco
ReplyDeleteIt's a valkeen, maybe he's leaning to blow it as times passes
ReplyDeleteVery disappointing performance. And quite sad that major talking point by match commentators is selection process for this match (at least in USA).
ReplyDeleteReally, the dissent management at most competitions in the professional level is shameful. Five players mob the refs, five players should get yellow cards. Not one. As soon as Al-Jassim gave the one yellow card, then everyone else started mobbing him because they knew it was open season, he had already shown the yellow card so he couldn't show another!
ReplyDeleteCome on FIFA, protect referees, protect the respect for the game. At the professional level so it goes at grassroots as well.
Couldn't agree more!
DeleteWhat FIFA can do if referee is so bad he couldnt manage anything? LMAO
DeleteI agree 100%. I can see the problems in my league in march when I gave them cards for this kind of behaviour i can anticipate the response from them - did you watch the WC?
Deletesuch a disgraceful referee is rarely seen. players push the referee, one hit the referee in the back with his hand
ReplyDeleteI think that is disgraceful for the players.
DeleteApparently FIFA don't see any problem at all with players pushing the referee! Saudi Arabia vs Mexico, Ghana vs Uruguay, now so much contact in the third place game, no cards at all for it. We are left to conclude that FIFA thinks such behavior is actually totally legal, encouraged, even!
DeleteNever push.
ReplyDeleteAlso in first game, referee was close to enter in contact with player, a very particular style that doesn't work. He tries to solve everything even by direct confrontations with players, seems he doesn't have a proper communicative channel for doing that.
ReplyDeleteMorocco should have received at least 5 more YC
ReplyDeleteI have never seen such shameful referee.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine whether such kind of referees exists at that level.
This performance has been the worst version of first game, because players from both teams were by far more heated. I really can't guess what would have happened in crucial game with Al Jassim as referee, even more with "hot teams". In terms of self-presentation the worst referee in the tournament.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest we are lucky that nobody scored in the last 20 mins. At 2-1, Morocco couldn't lose their discipline, being just 1 goal behind. And I dread to think what extra time would have brought us...
DeleteFrom the very group stage referees were very lenient with dissent and fouls. A lots of officials will get a bad idea that that's going to be the norm. Why can this be allowed at the highest level and not at the grassroots, high school leagues?
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what youth players are going to try next spring?
Agree, touching/pushing an official is crossing the line and should be called as it is.
Well En-Nesyri had the compassion to do Al-Jassim the favour that Weghorst didn't for Mateu... what a disastrous ninety minutes for the Qatari ref. Analysis to follow.
ReplyDeleteImage of refereeing at this World Cup: Al-Jassim smiling while being mobbed by Moroccan players after the final whistle.
ReplyDeleteA picture is worth a thousand words lol, it really says all you need to know about FIFA's philosophy for this tournament.
DeleteAgreed. A very, very sad image. I can't describe it otherwise.
DeleteCollina should be shocked after this performance, the same scenes we saw today, were the reason for Moen demotion in UEFA (culminating in Iceland - Finland). I think this says everything.
ReplyDeleteHe shouldn't only be shocked, he should be sacked!
DeleteCome on, do you seriously believe Collina made this appointment? Higher powers for sure!
DeleteElliot - who could replace him and do a better job? The days of the GREATS like García-Aranda, Casarin, Roth, pre-Čeferin Collina are completely over. Nothing will change. And Busacca was by far even worse. "Refereeing in paralysis".
DeleteYou're probably right Mikael. It doesn't really matter who is the head of referees when those higher up the ranks tell you what to do
DeleteSorry, I wrongly deleted a comment from a reader, I apologize:
ReplyDeleteBestofChatRoulette17 December 2022 at 18:00
This is why you don't make a political appointment for a big game just to placate the hosts - totally out of his depth. He was weak on dissent from the start and by the end the Moroccan team was literally pushing him around the pitch.
Although once again, no security for the match officials after the full time whistle.
The lack of security presence for the match officials after the final whistle has been really alarming this tournament, especially Ghana - Uruguay
DeleteI think this was mostly because most of people believe at WC level is very hard to imagine a referee in danger for players behavior.
DeleteAs long as the referee is on the FoP, he has disciplinary power. Being polite while laughing at this behavior of Moroccan players, means a very big lack of personality.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteBooing for the refs, amazing
ReplyDeleteI think that if we see this from the point of view of other referees who would have deserved a further game, it is very sad. Even if this was third place final, it was a very nice one, with Morocco trying everything (indeed) for reaching this goal. The referee from Qatar was sent there only for political reasons and he did the worst possible job. Collina should reflect on that. This is what still remains in FIFA organization, I think the Italian made many positive changes as head of refereeing, but it seems as he can't go 100% deep for avoiding some political choices.
ReplyDeleteFully agree, Chefren. And especially regarding your first sentence: I've just watched Raphael Claus during the medal ceremony and I can't escape from the feeling that he had the same sentence in his mind. I have to admit I did.
DeleteAlready waiting for an amazing final
ReplyDeleteCollina SHAME ON YOU! Also with women in WC! Big SHAME on FIFA and Colina!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell that was not convincing at all. In fact I would argue that was the worst performance of the whole tournament. How can he let players handle him as often as they did without punishment. He was also poor in USA-Wales but people forgot because it was so long ago. A bit like a reverse goalkeeper who gets better the longer they go without playing, the same can be applied to Al Jassim here
ReplyDeleteShame on you FIFA! Shame on you Collina!
ReplyDelete3rd place match means a lot to Croatian and Moroccan people, this is not joke!
Nothing against Al-Jassim, it is not his fault to be chosen here.
Congratulations to Croatia, I am proud to be Croat again. Six world cups and three medals!
Congrats! Way to say goodbye for Modric
DeleteLahoz in QF
ReplyDeleteRamos in SF
Al-Jassim today
Controversial Sampaio in ENG-FRA, and portuguese opinions about Tello in QF
Only two games without big controversions from last 7 games were Orsato in SF and Oliver in QF. 2/7!
It's not a good tournament for referees...
Tello was good. Portuguese complaints made no sense. Al Jassim and Lahoz were awful. Sampaio was bad although mainly let down by AR1 Boschilia. Ramos not great but suited the game. Orsato and Oliver were very good but even they had people complaining (Argentina penalty and no handball against Juranovic)
DeleteThere are more things to consider than putting all the blame on al-Jassim. I'm really sorry for him today and don't want to criticize him too much. Some questions:
ReplyDelete- The Qatari was at least decent in his first game. Why wasn't he appointed again in the group stage or to a R16 game? The same can be said about other final candidates like Makkelie, Taylor, Claus, even Marciniak - why only two games for them and such a long break before no further appointment of three former and final appointment of the latter? In my opinion, a referee has to prove himself at the tournament in three games (2x group stage and 1x R16/QF) before being appointed to the final. It's the best path to be sure the referee is in great form, delivered very good performances and fully deserves a huge task. It was a very poor management by FIFA Referees Committee: too many referees have been selected, some of them clearly meant to get only one game. What for? Select the best and treat them equally, giving each of them two group stage games!
- To appoint a Qatari referee to a game involving Arab team was asking for troubles. OK, they came from the Arab side today, but still caring so much for neutrality and then to make such an appointment. As above, why not to appoint al-Jassim earlier after his first game?!
- The current 'manage it with personality' motto is really destroying refereeing. OK, some referees are able to do that, some not (like al-Jassim today - unfortunately, he proved he's not the strongest manager and that he was only able to smile hesitantly when being furiously assaulted by Moroccan players says it all). But to have a uniform approach at such a big tournament, you have to instruct the referees to apply the LotG at first and use management skills only to get better interactions with players, to not show cards that are not 100% mandatory, etc. But to encourage the referees to use personality INSTEAD of applying the LotG is nothing different than destroying refereeing (also at grasroots levels!!!), (many) top referees, respect to match officials and image of the game.
- We had so many cases of blatant(!) dissenting behaviour or blatant(!) and cynical kicking the ball after whistle. Most of them were totally ignored by the referees. Why?! Could we believe that suddenly almost all officials decided to keep both eyes closed when facing such incidents? If FIFA Referees Committee hadn't wanted such behaviours in the games, they would've reacted at debriefs they held every moring (and even that was aborted after R16...). Was there anybody in charge?! Or refereeing was actually headed by non-refereeing or anti-refereeing football people?
+1 Totally support all of these opinions by Euro Soccer Ref. How the level of dissent is growing in the professional game and the lack of disciplinary action by referees for swarming, kicking ball away after whistle is shocking to say the least. This is bleeding down into the grassroots game. Something needs to chsnge fast.
Delete+1
Delete+1. Fully agree with everything you said. Today's performance is just a repercussion of a far greater issue, an issue which has its roots in anti-refereeing climate present in the highest echelons of football leadership, as you perfectly described in your analysis. Unfortunately, I'm not optimistic about any positive changes in the near future. There are no real signs for that.
DeleteReluctance leads to Liberties. Not effectively dealing with something smaller allows more of it - usually the "more" is at a higher level than whatever came before and the referee is put in more and more difficult positions.
ReplyDeleteIn all honesty, the key thing in this match had nothing to do with the decisions. With a strong referee, not one of these decisions would have had impact on the scenes we saw in the last 15'.
In this game, the referee faced 5 key dissents. The first (33') was let go. Got the second right. The third (83') led to a mandatory YC. However, in this case, players continued after the card. Despite things settling (and the referee helping the team with some easy foul decisions in their favour), the referee's reluctance to show another player a YC here led to more yet:
Two dissent no decisions: 90' (no PK MAR - correct). #15 MAR (already on a YC) was allowed to run at referee. After match, one player ran at referee. Once one goes, others go.
Referees cannot be reluctant with dissent. Reluctance gives players liberties. Once they exercise these liberties, the referee need to do more than the minimum (and will look overly authoritative doing so) to bring the dissent back in control. Today's referee was unwilling to go beyond the minimum (three times), perhaps hoping players would stay calm. They didn't and this made things look very bad.
Here is a simple comparison. In a youth game, a coach loudly complains. The referee fails to act. Two minutes later, the coach yells in protest. The referee is forced to show a YC and then the coach (who feels the referee is overly authoritative) uses abusive language.
A calm warning after the first complaint likely prevents all. Now we have abusive language and the referee needs to decide whether or not to send off the coach or try to work with them. Although the first choice was preventable (and the referee knows it) the latter choice, unfortunately, will be disastrous.
Your very good analysis of this specific aspect (IMO) is a perfect example of applying broken windows theory in football refereeing practice. Although being a controversial theory nowadays, it is well known to every law enforcement official worldwide (I can confirm this firsthand) and, if applied correctly (without its controversial aspects), it can prevent eventual use of more authoritative or radical measures. The same can be applied to refereeing; after all, it is a form of law enforcement in football, and modern law enforcement always emphasises quality and consistent prevention instead of belated action resulting in repression (of course, when it's possible and optimal).
DeleteFunny thing: Neutral fans and media say this is one of, if not the best refereering performance of the WC.
ReplyDeleteEither they were blind or they just have fetish on Qatary refs.
DeleteI really think it's simply because fans and media don't know anything about missed yellow cards and don't care about referees allowing mobbing.
DeleteIf Croatia hadnt won,then we would have huge scandal,he should be lucky that tje score did not change...
ReplyDeleteAlso,at the end Hakimi and rest of MOR players are going face to face with him,insulting him he just smiles at them...
No need to comment that....
According to several international media Morocco’s defender Achraf Hakimi before the medal ceremony and in the tunnel stood nose to nose with FIFA boss Infantino, outrageously shouting and insulting Infantino and the referee.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.sport1.de/news/fussball/wm/2022/12/wm-2022-sowas-habe-ich-noch-nie-erlebt-hakimi-geht-wohl-auf-infantino-los
I do not understand. Why do Moroccans cry?
DeleteThe referee supported them. Also, does Hakimi think he's a great player? I hope he faces a huge penalty.
It is fashionable to attack the referee after the match.
FIFA is enabling and making it fashionable to attack the referee "during the game".
DeletePeople on this blog ridiculed Lahoz performance in ARGNED, a match between 2 teams who don't like each other and would always have ended up in tears however it was reffed. So it's poetic justice that you have to put with Romero and Al Jassim instead. Unless you blame the players rather than the ref, then expect more refereeing like today's!
ReplyDeleteI'm struggling to understand how FIFA influences these top referees. Via Collina? So you think Collina tells the referees to keep the cards in their pockets and only to manage the players? If you remember early matches in this WC, yellow cards were given when necessary. Remember Orsato at the opening match. And he was rewarded with semi-final. I think some of the referees are just worse than others. I can understand there are different political demands which referee to appoint and in the end it looks like performance doesn't always count. But what do these referees gain if they don't show the cards? I think some of them just don't know when to book. Reading the comments here apparently they do the same in their domestic/continental matches.
ReplyDeleteNi, it is not so simple.
DeleteThere are big influencers at top of FIFA wanting the matches be ENTERTAINING AT ALL COSTS. And exactly thats what we got. Just an example: Uf you rewatch the African deciders for the WC again, you see for instance Gomes, Ghorbal, even Gassama and definitely Tessema, who should have got his chance officating on a way better level, cause they could follow their own style and they all acted much more strictly in heated, difficult matches. But if you punish law inforcement as being contraproductive to getting entertainment pure - and hey, dissent is at least some sort of entertaining - and if you try to unify the styles of refs instead of making them stronger THE WAY THEY ARE AND WHICH MADE THEM SUCCESSFULL, then you get exactly what we saw in Qatar.
Imagine what Barton would have done in the little final. I am sure we would not have ended like that. Is there anybody believing that Al Jassim got his prominent assignments because of his qualities? They had to give a place to a ref from the hosting country. Old tradition. Yes, politics. Again and again. Collina and Busacca shoukd really think, if they deserve to stay in their job after all that.
By the way: What are Webb and Mazic doing now?
Was only too happy for players to bully and even bump him on occasion but as soon as one bounced the ball in disgust, he produced the card. Strange officiating.
