  1. More than with any other country, it's really difficult to understand the reputation of Romanian referees. Take Feșnic, for example: he has been assigned a match like Drita - Floriana in this round, which would practically be just as suitable for a first-year FIFA referee, but... he comes from Champions League. The unusual way Romanian referees seems to be managed at UEFA level, as I pointed out some time ago, is something you simply don't see in any other country. Elsewhere, there is always at least some logical line that explains certain appointments; here, there seems to be none. The same could probably be said of the other Romanian referees behind Kovács: it looks like just UEFA is giving almost all of them a chance, but in the end, with almost none of them is it possible to identify, at least for now, any clear development path or anything resembling one.

    1. I expect the situation to clarify and Barbu to become the clear #2 starting from this season.

      Delete
    2. What do you think Chefren about an eventual improvement of Italian Refs, as seeming in clear difficulty compared to French, German or English ones for istance?

      Delete
    3. It will be interesting to watch Barbu this season; he was named the best referee in Romania last season. He has practically become No. 2, behind Kovacs. Feșnic is the one who lost the battle to Barbu, I believe. Now Vassaras prefers Barbu. Perhaps this appointment for Feșnic suggests that Barbu has overtaken him. I expect bigger matches for Barbu this autumn.

      Delete
    4. Feșnic replaced Chivulete in both qualifying rounds, and in these matches he wasn’t working with his regular assistant referees either. He’s already one of Romania’s best referees, and he’s still on the rise. Looking forward to seeing what comes next for him.

  2. Croatian referee(Strukan) to handle Bosnian team that is playing in Serbian part of Bosnia.

    8´ Correct Sof22 push on Trn19, easy situation
    9´ Incorrect Sof22 trip whistled close to home team technical area (told by 4O) contact was initiated by Trn24 player IMO

    15´ Correct public warning for Trn30, close to reckless trip
    16´ Correct no whistle, Sof93 and Trn52 were holding each other
    17´ Correct Trn19 illegal charge on Sof22, easy situation
    25´ Correct Trn19 illegal charge on Sof8 from good position, totally stupid foul also reaction on edge of YC at least warning would be appropriate
    35´ Correct public warning for Sof22, multiple offences
    37´ Public warning for Trn19, cynical stupid push when ball was not in play, IMO YC would be more appropriate
    38´ Correct Sof33 trip on Trn24
    40´ Correct preventive action before corner kick after that easy safe refereeing decision Trn offensive foul

      Delete
    2. 94´ Correct Trn18 handball, supported by AR1
      107´ Mass confrontation after reckless charge Sof17 on Trn72 (GK) both initiators correctly cautioned Sof17 and Trn52
      110´ Incorrect foul whistled on Sof96 on the contrarySof96 jumps at opponent
      111´ YC given to one of the Sof team official´s probably some dissent

    4. Without VAR it's difficult indeed, but if the referee can miss the penalty (rather deliberate by him to stay there without trying a sprint), AR2 must take the blame here. Mandatory to inform referee about the incident, frontal view.
      About the red card, in my opinion Altmann can see the incident right in front of him, so not good to forgive the players.
      I think at least one of these incidents should have been solved correctly by pitch officials, however yes, today without VAR it seems a fully different sport.

  4. The georgians had a good first half in Farum . correct fouls and two yellow cards used with full control.

    1. Especially the 49th minute. AR2 identified a very difficult offside situation with excellent accuracy. Notably, he had four offside decisions during the match, and all four were correct. Georgian referees are making remarkable progress.

  6. Having attended the match in Edinburgh, I have to say I thought Mihály Káprály was a very poor referee. Seemed out of his depth and some of his decisions were baffling. He didn't hesitate to book the hone side's captain, yet let stronger, more dangerous challenges from the opposition go. He looked genuinely upset when he finally cautioned a Kosovan player. Very, very poor official.
