EL-debuts for Millot, Schärer and Ardeleanu. The latter with committee member.
ReplyDeleteNot realy a debut for Schärer, this is his fourth match in EL. He had 2 last season and 1 season before.
DeleteFor Schärer, it is not a debut. However, he has been appointed after the injury this time without a committee member. I really don't understand that.
DeleteBut if I see right, no Karasev in Europa League. Very strange....
DeleteSorry, my fault :)
DeleteEL-Debut for Martins, too, I think?
DeleteNope. He handled Hertha - Östersund last season.
Deletehttps://worldreferee.com/site/copy.php?linkType=referee&contextType=stats&linkID=8462
Bad signals for Karasev: he has been ruled out from all appointments this time. One could have guessed him in Rome for a quite interesting Lazio - Marseille, but Bezborodov will be there. Maybe the last performance in Frankfurt as AAR with a crucial mistake was not liked by committee. Definitely too many errors in his games.
ReplyDeleteIMO top assignment for Ekberg in a very tough clash between Fenerbache and Anderlecht.
ReplyDeleteDo you see any chance for Mazeika to be promoted into elite ?
Another interesting topic is Stieler. After CL appearance one year ago, he seems now "back" as regular Category 1 with only Europa League assignments. I don't know what happened, but maybe Siebert debut in Champions League can be also read under this point of view. Otherwise, with already 4 referees officiating in the major competition, this debut couldhave been at least delayed. Really sorry for Stieler who is in my opinion a quite good referee.
ReplyDeleteFor sure he is a lot better than Siebert.
DeleteI see Siebert definitely better, when I consider their performances in German Bundesliga!
DeleteInteresting appointment on Vidi-PAOK: Palabiyik. A Turkish referee on a greek team right after Gocek handled Dudelange - Olympiakos.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember any such case in the past with a Turkish referee for a Greek team. There were a couple of observers and delegates but, IIRC, no refereeing team.
They seem to be less worried about these things now. Also Dutch referees can whistle teams from Belgium now and there seem to be no more restrictions regarding the former Soviet Union (e.g. Eskov with Azerbaijan in Nations League). Not sure, whether that also counts for former Yugoslavia, e.g. whether Slovenian referees are possible for Serbian teams - I don't remember an example yet.
DeleteAlso Skandinavian appointments like Ekberg for Iceland were avoided in the past, I think.
Yes 100% agree.
DeleteI don't like Stieler at all, too fussy and card-happy in my view.
ReplyDeleteChefren, have you watched Ufa Rangers match refereed by Stieler?
ReplyDeleteAlso Crvena Zvezda- Krasnodar last season ...
DeleteNo, I didn't watch this game. Can you say more about his performance?
DeleteHe showed Morelos 2 yelllow cards in successsion. After a soft foul (50/50) Morelos kicked the ball in frustration, that was a first yellow. Then he continued to show dissent but nothing dramatic... in my view confident ref would say "calm down or you 'll go" but showing second yellow for protests in 20 seconds is not good refereeing.
DeleteMorelos is stupid but it wasn't a dirty game at all, Stieler spoiled it.
Here's the video as a reminder: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6svloc
DeleteMorelos trips the player, kicks the ball away. Referee comes over with a YC but Morelos keeps walking away despite Stieler whistling, then gestures at him.
Maybe if more referees were like this players would learn to behave better...
Your opinion on this one: Penalty? Play-on?
ReplyDeletehttps://streamable.com/6ha6j
Pro-penalty: the contact with attacker's knee is clearly careless, the ball seems to be still on the field of play at the moment of contact
DeleteAgainst penalty: the attacker wouldn't have reached the ball anymore.
Penalty.
DeleteInteresting not to see Gozoboyuk appointed in Mds 3 and 4, or I missed something. And he is not appointed as AAR to Kuipers or Makellie. Anybody any info? Is he injired maybe?
ReplyDeleteHe had a game in Eredivisie on last Saturday, PSV - Vitesse, so he is not injured. Maybe Eintracht - Lazio performance was not liked by committee...
DeleteNo, he isn't injured. He took charge of the most sonorous match in Holland this weekend.
DeleteObserver for Krasnodar-Standard - Ioannis Tsachilidis (GRE) who replaced Igor Satkii (MDA)

Bebek (finally)gets interesting match.
ReplyDelete3 years ago, he was elite referee and unfortunately made a mistake in Madrid. Then he had a nightmare in Braga-Fener. After that his UEL matches were very good, but still there is no new chance in UCL.
DeleteI feel sad for him, 3 years without UCL match is too much...
Well,that mistake in Madrid wad product of Ronaldo's authority and presence.
DeleteAnd night in Braga is just sad,as his fellow Croat I wish him all the best.
No Kehlet either after CL debut.
ReplyDeleteHe got a game in Europa League on last MD, 25 October. This is still the same set of appointments.
DeleteGood appointment for Dabanovic. If he does well he will be on a good path for promotion in january or june
ReplyDeletePetr Ardleanu handled (his first) Prague Derby between Sparta Praha - Slavia Praha at the weekend, ahead of his EL group stage debut in Piraeus, which will be observed by UEFA Referees Committee member Mr Levnikov.
ReplyDeleteI made a highlights about his performance,
https://ok.ru/video/886307555875
=> In 1H he showed a near faultless performance IMO; Czech fully convinced me.
Only mistake was missing the foul at 28' (01:45), which could have been a 2nd YC, but personally I can accept the argument that the foul was "careless".
I really liked his rigorous card selection, especially the YC at 15' (01:04) for a studs tackle, which was a point for improvement after Latvia-Georgia under the eyes of Mr Uilenberg.
Penalty was at least acceptable, and fully correct if you judge the action as enlarging body surface and not protecting the face.
=> 2H wasn't on such a high level, my feeling was he was missing a little bit of mental strength for the full ninety-minutes, but still no big disaster (à la Lannoy in BEN-FEN, if you will). No defective performance, but it was not on such a high level like the first half.
Perhaps he missed a penalty at 73' (08:20) for handling also, I would be interested in everyone's views on that (reminded me on Pitana OFR situation in SWE-MEX a little).
I watched Ardeleanu twice in recent times and both times he impressed me in different ways. He managed to avoid bigger problems with an alert performance in Latvia - Georgia, and then showed a (half) faultless performance in the biggest match of his life in Czechia. Okay, 2H wasn't so good, but the POTENTIAL that he showed here was quite high in my opinion, and he has time to work on his mental fortitude.
I wish him well for his (deserved) EL debut in Piraeus.
Adrien Jacottet from Suisse (sorry if I didn't write it correctly) will be the referee in Olympiakos Vs Panathinaikos
ReplyDeleteA few days ago, Melo Pereira issued a statement and says that the foreign referees appointed to 5 greek matches, satisfied the referee's committee.
ReplyDeleteHowever on another part, he claims that all decisions regarding appointments, making of the lists and anything else is the responsibility of the foreign members of the ref. committee.
Obviously such statement is useless since such things are self-evident so there is no need for that. Unless that's not the truth and as we hear in Greece, Tritsonis is working closely with Melo Pereira.
In my many years on refereeing, it's the first time that I see such a statement. It's not only shocking but ridiculous.

Kovács:
Delete1) Reckless, YC for me is enough.
2) Reckless as well, YC correct.
3) YC for this dissenting gesture is a good decision, this should be seen more often.
4) 100% SFP, RC is the fully correct decision.
5) In my view very borderline, high speed of this challenge would justify another RC.
Collum:
1) In my view SFP: high leg, touches the chest of the opponent. I think Collum gave YC only because of the low intensity.
2) Correct decision.
Kassai:
1) I don't think we need further development on there, shocking decision.
Kuipers:
1) Correct penalty given here, and also the cooperation between Van Roekel and Kuipers must be praised, Thiago Silva's touch is clearly deliberate, meaning that the offside position is no longer punishable.
2) Kuipers and Neymar: a never-ending hate story. ;) But that sarcastic applause was worth a 2nd YC in my opinion.
Çakir:
1) Hand is in an unnatural position, blocking the way of the ball. YC for SPA is correct.
2) IMO this is DOGSO. Roma attacker had possession of the ball and no one could intervene there. Çakir was sort of lucky that the player was already booked, this is a clear straight RC for me.
Rocchi:
1) Correct YC, reckless.
2) Also a correct YC, reckless.
Makkelie
1) Absolutely spot-on 2nd YC for SPA there.
Cakir 2. No foul. Ball first in a fair way. Look closely. Ball before opponent.
DeleteManuel Gräfe has been appointed on a Saturday in top clash between Borussia Dortmund against Bayern Munich.
ReplyDeleteRegarding Bundesliga: I see Steinhaus is appointed in Third League, if I am not wrong, her first match this season, she was appointed only as VAR. Any info why? Injured, failed fitness test?
DeleteSteinhaus was injured after U20 World Cup Women
DeleteAbout Bundesliga: Any idea why Benjamin Brand got no appointments for long time, is he seriously injured? In my eyes I would like him to get the next free FIFA place.
DeleteDoes Ekberg has the same type of "disease"that Moen has?
ReplyDeleteThey are both way too lenient,it'a like they dont want any cards to show.
Ekberg is very calm and self-confident
ReplyDeleteI'm watching the second half in Istanbul, expected level for Ekberg with a clear second YC.
ReplyDeleteI see it for the first time...Nikola Dabanović from Montenegro, very very good!!! very athletic, very intelligent movements on the field, he enters the box a lot.
ReplyDeleteCan some Montenegrin friends tell me about him ?
DeleteHe is very good referee, definitely our best. I didnt like him earlier because six years ago he made crucial mistake by missing to give clear penalty in title decisive match which most probably decided who became champion that year. Besides that very good performances, especially on international level. What i dont like is the fact that in every match he has different pair of assistant referees. In Montenegro it is practice to assign assistants on match to match basis and not have permanent teams. But i am not sure who is responsible for assigning assistant referees in european competitions. I think would be good for Dabanovic if, at least on international level, he had permanent team of assistants
DeleteJust to add, i expect him in category 1 already in january
DeleteFor UEFA competitons, national FA assisgn ARs.
DeleteGood luck for our Montenegrin neighbour!
OT:
ReplyDeleteI heard some news that VAR could be introduced for CL round of 16 in 2019. A decision could be announced in early December when next Uefa executive committee meets
I wouldn't be surprised... even more after some mistakes we saw yesterday. For sure the time of additional assistant referees is going to end.
DeleteI hope so.
DeleteStill cant belive that AAR nor AR didnt spot that clear no penalty or even would be catasrophic if AAR said its penalty..
Delete@Jovan the AAR pointed his stick at the penalty spot just after the referee awarded the penalty. He'd have been more useful if he was allowed to look at his mobile phone and watch a replay.
DeleteBig call in Spartak-Rangers match,77 min.,Spartak player was on a run and fell into the penalty area.
ReplyDeleteBebek gave yc for diving,looked like very close call.
What others think?
More penalty than simulation. However, the fall of the player is quite unnatural.
DeleteWell in this match were 3-4 penalty appeals,Bebek didnt gave any,he gave 2 yc's for diving and 1 handball was there if I can remember.
DeleteNeeds to be rewatched.
Three penalty decisions - first half was YC simulation, IMO correct. Second half - same player already booked, Rangers player stood on his toes, maybe not enough for a foul.
DeleteThird one I think the referee got it wrong, although from some angles on the replays it looked like the player went down unnaturally as you say.
Crucial mistake in the first half by the AR to deny a goal for offside, which would have made it 4-2 Rangers.
In last situation attacker clearly tried to find some contact with defender's leg and that's why his movement when he went down is so unnatural.
DeleteBebek with many crucial decisions today. Honestly, I feel several crucial mistakes to both sides. Have to rewatch this crazy match.
ReplyDeleteExcellent performance of Dabanovic.
ReplyDeleteVery good decision to allow Stade Rennais' goal due to deliberate play by defender. Good cooperation between Beaton and Ross.
ReplyDeleteCorrect PK whistled by Schärer.
ReplyDeleteAny news from Millot’s match ? Must’ve been quite challenging with one red card and one PK whistled in the last minutes
ReplyDeletePK for Zenit whistled by Lechner, after clear AAR advice.
ReplyDeleteSandro Schärer left the stadium. Game is stopped in Vorskla-Qarabağ
ReplyDeleteFireworks into the stadium. Match resumed after 10 minutes interruption by Schärer.
DeleteCorrect RC for DOGSO issued by Mažeika.
ReplyDeleteMartins didn’t impress me today. Plenty of very soft foul calls, highly questionable penalty, excessive YC. I wouldn’t be surprised if this remains his only EL match this season.
ReplyDeletePawson with 7' of added time in Betis (he whistled at 7:20).
ReplyDeleteAnyone can tell if it's justified?
This comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteGreat, thank you.
DeleteI watched Mažeika live in the stadium.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, good performance by the Lithuanian. Very good disciplinary control (including warnings and stepped approach). Correct RC:DOGSO, not the easiest decision. Maybe he missed a RC for ARL#29, but my feeling is that YC was acceptable.
I think he made good arguments for a CL inset in Round 5/6, well done to Lithuanian team.
Has he chance to be promoted into elite in December ?
DeleteJust to report good performance by Serbian team in Rapid-Villareal
