  1. Finally, Carlos Velasco Carballo back also as observer, Brest - Sturm Graz for him on CL MD1. This was the last observer to be appointed, together with Juventus - PSV (Viktor Kassai). For sure the game in France, neutral ground, will be an extremely important test for a Category 1, and more generally, I think that with the French and Austrian sides, when possible, we will see always such kind of assignments.

  4. CL MD2 Observers also appointed
    Kuipers in Dinamo v Monaco
    Rosetti in Girona v Feyenoord
    Fandel has Arsenal v PSG
    Wegereef in Leipzig v Juventus
    Atkinson observer in. Benfica v Athletico
    Other established observers also out and about too, these are the highlights I think.

    1. As usual, MD1 + MD2 appointed as a set and most CR’s work just one matchday.

      Debuts with Kuipers and Rosetti?

      Experienced ref with Juventus (as usual with Italian teams). Probably with Atletico/Benfica as well.

      Arsenal-PSG could be a fair game and its still early season, I think we could potentially see a young(er) Elite in form, category Eskas, Nyberg. Or a lower ranked Spanish/Italian.

  6. So, there are 4 Refcom members appointed as observer in UEFA CL MD1 + MD2.

    Who are the possible Cat.1 referees to make a debut?

    And how about the possible Cat.1 promotions? Rumsas, Mariani etc?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Shortlist of Cat1 to Elite promotion candidates, from most to least likely before the CL stage starts: Mariani, Rumsas, Krogh, Obrenović & Balakin.

      CL stage debut candidates: Lindhout, Saggi, Schnyder, Kavanagh, Sozza, all Cat 1 Germans (Jablonski/Osmers/Stegemann), Gishamer, Delajod (?)

      Delete

    2. Obrenovic can be in the Elite only because he is a Slovenian, a terribly bad referee , he is not even for category 1.

      Delete
    3. I would add Brooks to potential CL debut list as well, but it does depend on the extent of his injury

      Delete
    4. I would add Dabanovic before Krogh.

      Delete
  7. About Balakin. Too early for fim. Let's see this season. He really on eyes of commity.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Let's see. Good luck, Mykola!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  9. Agree early for Balakin but a referee with a lot of potential. Could step to Elite for sure
