    Off topic, the first two yellow cards of the English Championship season are for kicking the ball away. It's quite refreshing to see that being punished strictly, it's clearly delaying the restart!

    Why is Gillett listed here as (AUS/ENG)? Isn't he currently a FIFA referee officially representing England?

      But he has only Australian citizenship...

      But it isn't the first time a foreigner gets to represent England in international refereeing, e.g. Dermot Gallagher was Irish.

    Referees play a vital role in maintaining fairness and upholding the rules of various sports. These often overlooked figures on the field hold significant responsibilities. Here are five intriguing facts about referees:

    ...are played according to the established rules, making split-second decisions that impact the outcome. Their ability to maintain order and make impartial judgments is crucial to the integrity of sports.

    ... Extensive Rulebook Mastery: Referees possess an in-depth understanding of the rulebook. They are well-versed in intricate details, from minor fouls to complex technicalities, and must apply this knowledge accurately in dynamic and high-pressure situations.

    ...Physical and Mental Fitness: Refereeing demands both physical stamina and mental agility. Officials need to keep up with the fast-paced action, maintaining optimal positioning to make accurate calls. Moreover, they must remain calm under pressure, managing player and crowd interactions effectively.

    ...Continuous Learning and Adaptation: Referees stay updated on rule changes, interpretations, and officiating techniques. Attending regular training sessions and workshops helps them adapt to evolving gameplay trends and maintain consistency in decision-making.

    ...Diverse Pathways to Officiating: Becoming a referee takes dedication. Many start at local levels, officiating youth or amateur games, and gradually progress to higher levels of competition. Advancement often requires mentorship, rigorous evaluations, and a genuine passion for the sport.

    In essence, referees serve as the guardians of sportsmanship and fair competition. Their unwavering commitment to maintaining the spirit of the game ensures that players and spectators alike can enjoy the thrill of athletic contests with confidence in the integrity of the outcome.

    According to the UEFA site, the referee team in the match AEK Larnance - Maccabi Tel Aviv FC has been replaced. The referee Jonathan Lardot and his assistants Florian Lemaire and Quintin Blaise have been replaced by Nathan Verboomenen and his permanent assistants Mathias Hillaert and Ruben Wyns. The fourth official remains Jasper Vergoote

    Two big mistakes in offside detection from AR2 Zaza Pipia (GEO) in Sabah-Partizan against home side. Second one in 40th min was particularly big, because the player was at least meter onside, if not 1,5 meter. Both in very promising situations.

    Not the best performance from Eldorjan Hamiti and his team at Ta'Qali - IMO they missed two red cards (both on Hamrun's side) and the third goal for Ferencvaros was offside.

      Never a handball.

      In total Gillett gave too many fouls to the home side. Perhaps he was influenced by the crowd.

      Totally inconsistent on his foul selection....

    2. Chefren11 August 2023 at 12:21

      Looks like a phantom call, I don't see the contact with hand, but clearly the position of arms deceived referee. Without VAR... you can do nothing.

    Very good performance by Krogh in hot Hajduk-PAOK game.

    Good convincing performance, body language, YCs issued correctly, good communication with players.
