  2. Two Portugese for Botev - Zrinjski? I know it happens, but rarely. Don't like it though, could have been avoided.

    ReplyDelete
  3. With Kazakhstan, Norway, Armenia and Kosovo this week and Lithuania and Estonia next all sending VARs, Georgia seems to be the only country with the system to never have sent one of their own (Bosnia and Herzegovina as well, but they just introduced it this season). Good to see more countries being trusted with using the technology.

    1. To clarify I obviously mean main VAR before someone points out that indeed Aleko Aptsiauri GEO is AVAR in Braga-Servette in Europa League, I know that :)

  5. English VARs for a Scottish team is an interesting choice

    ReplyDelete
  6. Very eventful game for Belarusan referee.
    Here full game:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4RdsAXH2Nw
    It is interesting to watch the OFR called by De Burgos for a serious foul play, "step on foot" kind of foul, but with a different point of impact that justified the call, according to the Spanish.
    The way referee stays at the monitor with the hands in that position and for a so long time, it's something you will never see.
    I don't know but I think no VAR in Belarus, even if some referees are clearly trained, starting from Kulbakov.
    Also, noteworthy the second YC in 62', when it looked like referee decided for it after a few seconds, then very tense moments with the player from Montenegro's team. As very often happens, Belarusan referees seem to be rather authoritative but not with a particula communication with players.
    To follow another crucial call in the very last minutes of added time, free kick changed into penalty by VAR. Also in this case, referee in trouble to explain.

    1. Straight red card decision is in 38'

    2. I don't understand straight red in 38', its yc nothing more

    3. Interesting incident. Argument to be made that he rakes his studs down the leg which is a RC

      Delete
  7. Thank you for the video. Very many unusual and even strange situations. A good example that shows how not easy matches at this level can be. By the way, I'm not sure the OFRs at 8' and 39' were necessary.

  8. UECL Q3 1st leg
    Ruzomberok-Hajduk
    R: C. Soto Grado VAR: J. Munuera

    30' Correctly disallowed HAJ goal due offside, immediately signalized by AR1

    ReplyDelete

    1. 72' Game correctly is stopped for 2' due smoke from HAJ fans pyro
      86' YC given to HAJ25, probably for some dissent, but not in broadcast

      Delete
  9. UECL Q3 1st leg
    Spartak Trnava-Wisla Krakow
    R: S.Qarabaev VAR: R.Omarov

    6' Clear handball and penalty given to Trn, but overturned after OFR for foul in attacking phase of play, IMO wrong intervention, no foul
    14' Correct YC given to Trn25 for reckles challenge
    31' Poor control, Wis9 after fair challenge lies out of the field and ref stops play to call him medical assistance
    40' Again poor control, referee delay whistle for Wis77 handball and when Trn player goes to promising attack, referee whistles and gives free kick like 20 meters closer to own goal
    42' Correct YC given to Wis19 for lack of respect

    1. No crucial or major decisions in 2nd half

      Delete
    2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HXArSVIEe4
      Here at the beginning of the video you can find the OFR.
      Absolutely wrong call, agree with you. How can you consider this as clear and obvious mistake when player is already falling on the ground and there are only two soft touches by hands... not even a foul!

      Delete
  10. I can only say that there are very often replacements for Armenian officials, both referees and assistant referees.
    Another replacement in Silkeborg - Gent, where the originally appointed Armenian crew with Austrian VARs has been totally replaced by Austrian officials.

  11. Three key match incidents from Brøndby IF - Legia Warszawa (Martin Dohál):

    84’ - PAI impeding
    https://www.streambug.io/cv/a235a9

    87’ - Goal allowed after VAR intervention - no offside (mistake by AR1)
    https://www.streambug.io/cv/5529fa

    90+2’ - PAI holding
    https://www.streambug.io/cv/02cc45

    1. I agree with play on in 84', while I think penalty should have been whistled in 90'+2. The fall of player can be seen as the immediate effect of the holding. Extremely borderline for VAR, not easy to decide, because holdings are always "special stuff", but I think an OFR wouldn't have been wrong. Too blatant. Missed penalty by referee in all cases.

      Delete
    2. +1. About +92', no need to overcomplicate it (see the Olympic final) - clear holding that everyone will agree about, award the penalty kick!

      It is the difference between "what an idiot defender" and "are the VARs blind?!".
