My guess would be Hategan, Bastien and Karasev? for tomorrow League A and B appointments
ReplyDeleteSo it seems Rossetti is keeping the "big names" for further stages of the competition where the games will probably be more difficult with relegation / play-off qualification in mind. So far, only Turpin (if I'm not mistaken) has been appointed from the referees who attended the WC.
ReplyDeleteNations League is not the most important competition. Imo these games are something between friendlies and official games. In this order I don't believe it's necessary to use the "big" referees in this competition. Honestly, Kuipers, Mazic, Rocchi are born is 1973, should be their last months (or last season) as international referees. They achieved almost everything (excepting Rocchi who probably deserves, at least, an Europa League final in 2019). For me it's non-sense to use names like Kuipers, Mazic, Cakir (even Rocchi, Skomina, Kassai or Undiano Mallenco) in this competiton.
ReplyDeleteIt is of course not the most important competition, but when there were friendlies, top referees have also been appointed in matches between top national teams. I don't really think that is going to change now. This competition is, IMO, not being given the relevance it has. Remember it allows direct qualification for four teams to the next EURO/WC. Also, prestige is in too. What would be the reaction if Italy, Germany, Spain, France, England, etc. were relegated? Not very good for them (although possibly that would open an easier way to get a direct qualification spot for them in league B). It is a recognition that they are not amongst the very best european national teams. I think it will take some time, but that the relevance of the competition will increase with time.
DeleteThis is the perfect competition in order to test new referees.
DeleteThere is a huge problem in european refereeing after 8 years of Collina: the number of "big" referees is very limited. That's a consequence of the fact that Collina used ALWAYS the same referees.
So, in this competition I don't want to see names like Kuipers, Cakir, Mazic, Skomina, Rocchi, Kassai, Undiano Mallenco.
Monday I will be in Belgrade for Serbia- Romania. Referee will be Bezborodov. Despite the fact I think he's a good referee (he should have been used more by Collina in last years, even in CL) I don't think it's normal to use in 3RD DIVISION of this competition a referee who is born in january 1973 ...

Second ball on the field of play. Was stopping the game necessary?

Conflict, strike in the face, should've been a red card according to the LOTG?
https://streamable.com/bnijs
1) Assessing it as reckless challenge is OK in my opinion.
Delete2) Reckless, clear YC.
3) No, it wasn't necessary because players were not influenced by the presence of the other ball.
4) Bordeline to RC for violent conduct, mandatory at least YC.
I was wondering what is the age limit for the Assistant Referees FIFA badge?
ReplyDeleteNo age limits. However, very accurate medical check up are requested for officials who have 45+ years.
DeleteThank you :D
DeleteFrom the fifth tier of Scottish football - a goal ruled out for illegal feinting at a penalty kick: https://twitter.com/csstrollers/status/1038536162862948365 - but if the player takes another step the feinting must be in the run-up and thus allowed?

Delete4' clear YC not given to Hysaj.
ReplyDeleteAR2 with a correct and very important offside flag in POR - ITA.
ReplyDelete35' in my opinion missed penalty by Collum and AAR2, defender not interested at all in playing the ball, just stopped the opponent inside the box, impeding him to reach the ball... I would have liked more cooperation here within the Scottish crew.
ReplyDeleteMissed penalty by Collum in 35th minute. Criscito deliberately moved into the way of an opponent and impeded an opponent's progress. Nicolas Walsh should have detected that.

90'+3 missed RC for SFP to Pepe (POR).
ReplyDeletehttps://streamable.com/if4xf
DeleteYou can see Pepes reaction after he got YC, clearly he knew thats RC..
DeleteHow many chances will this referee have? Major missed PK and clear SFP, the blind faith from Dallas just continues. I’m sure Dallas Jnr being in the team will help. With the talent available in UEFA elite category he shouldn’t be considered for such appointments, he’s not even in the top 5 referees in Scotland.
ReplyDeleteCurious who your top 5 referees in Scotland are?
DeleteIn my opinion it is a pity. I think that basically Collum is a good referee and he has shown very often very good performance that can justify his belonging to Category Elite. However, the problem is that he doesn't manage to do the final step. Every now and then he has these games. His career so far has been for sure satysfying, but he would have got more if he had performed with more consistency.
DeleteToday it was in my opinion a very important exam under the eyes of Batta, even in terms of assignments for this season, I think that at moment we must say he is still not ready for this big step. With "big step" I mean officiating a major final (he had only Super Cup) and then becoming a reliable Elite like the other ones we know. But time is passing...
I notice that very often crucial mistakes in his games come from a missed cooperation with either AARs or ARs. This must be for sure the first point to be improved by Scottish officials, everything of course in my humble opinion.
Most of the guys I’ve seen live at the Dallas cup so follow their progress. In no particular order,
DeleteMclean, Madden, Robertson and Walsh I have all seen and are better technically and stronger managers. Beaton I’ve only seen on TV and he is also a more convincing official. Collum is too frantic and lacks consistency, someone posted a clip from Kilmarnock recently which displays exactly that.
It’s all about opinions though but for me he makes far too many KMI errors for my taste and lacks any natural authority.

Kehlet again busy with handballs after Astana - APOEL, this time in my opinion his decision is fully correct.
DeleteSecond YC by Þórarinsson: I can hardly recognize a foul there.
Bezborodov penalty is for sure a supportable call but maybe soft, looking into detail.
Dabanović with a clear penalty whistled and a very blatant missed one. In this second occasion, AAR2 was late in following the game and reacting.
Watching the frame-by-frame, I wonder if Dabanović rather missed a freekick not a penalty.
DeleteWe cannot be sure with just these images though.
