    1. Yes. He's been UEFA VAR Instructor for some years but now he makes his debut as UEFA Referee Observer.

      Delete
    2. And Grigorescu is back?

      Delete
    3. Also debuts for Dierick and Bieri.

  2. Fabio Maresca starts at this stage? :o

    Also an interesting choice of Croatian FOs, Jovic and Bel have appointments in CL and then travel to be FO on thursday.

    1. And the other way around, Čulina and Kolarić are FO in their CL appointments

    2. The policy of fourth officials appointment by Croatian federation is particular. I already wrote that: similarly to Romania, they tend to appoint rather big and maybe not needed big names for low stages, don't know why. It looks like there isn't trust in NO FIFA referees for international stage, they could easily get all such games. As said, same is done very often by Romania.

      About Maresca, being a Category 2 it is normal to get an appointment starting from this stage. It seems he is appointed for a CL game on next round as well, but the names of observers for him doesn't show that committee wants to start something, in my opinion. I read them as reward for the very good season he had in serie A. For a promotion (42 years old) maybe these are the last chances for him...

      Delete
    3. At least not this season, it does not apply to Romania. All 3 Second Category referees have a game in UECL in the list below. Plus, each one of them featured in Champions League (one in playoff semifinal from Iceland, one in First Round UCL first leg, one in First Round UCL second leg)

    1. Cüneyt Çakır with a second game.
      Committee with clear focus on Balakin, very important observer for him, after the promotion.
      Finally, still a certain attention to Albanian referees.

      Delete
    2. A bit surprising that Dankert works twice in the second round: In ECL 1st leg and CL 2nd leg, i.e. Thursday and the following Tuesday. Maybe he can spend the weekend at a beach in Croatia or Greece ;)
      Especially as no other Germans are appointed so far - but of course there will be more games.

    3. probably he is on holidays down there anyways^^

    1. Marciniak will continue in UEFA, isn't it? There were some rumours in June that he received a big offer from the Saudis in June (since he completed football from the refereeing pov) but I didn't hear anything new about it this month.
      Also Lahoz received an offer ... no update on that either.

  6. Hi! I'm interested in your thoughts about such behaviour of players at penalties during today's Polish Supercup game between RKS Raków Częstochowa and Legia Warszawa. Was Marciniak's dealing with it enough?

    https://files.fm/f/9y5kwmcvb

    1. This is what happens when a referee wants to handle clear yellow card offences with ”personality” and prevention that gives no effect.

      Delete
    2. This behavior is not surprising when every player is allowed to make unsportsmanlike gestures without being sanctioned for it. Marciniak may be able to handle it, but another referee could lose control of it very quickly. So I don't think it's a good example for young referees.

  7. Former Fifa referee Mike Dean has stepped fully away from the PGMOL as announced today a decision he's made contrary to some reports.

    1. WOW what a game, just only reading the list of events, should be watched...

  10. Excellent offside decision (interference with GK) by Machalek's AR1 in 90+7' to disallow a decisive goal.

    ReplyDelete
  11. A pretty memorable game also for the Norwegian Sigurd Smehus Kringstad :))

    ReplyDelete
  12. Incredible offside decision by Kringstad in a very crucual moment. Excellent awareness when AR2 was sleeping and for some reason missed a clear offside.

    And a mass confrontation, handled correctly, with a very active UEFA delegate (the man in a suit)...
