  1. Very, very interesting appointments with Rosetti.
    Now we have the first try with Hernández Hernández, De Bleeckere will observe him.

    1. IMHO, they should "invest" in Sánchez Martínez. He's a real talent!

      Delete
    2. IMO almost all Second Group Spanish referees (Sánchez Martínez, Hernández Hernández, Martínez Munuera), maybe besides De Burgos Bengoetxea, who had just a good/expected overall season start, have been excellent so far this season until now, also being appointed with lots of important games (RMA-SEV and Basque Derby for Hernández Hernández, Clásico and ATM-ATH for Sánchez Martínez, FCB-SEV and Madrid derby for Martínez Munuera).

      Those 3 should be considered for promotion to First, but I think that at least until June 2019 only Martínez Munuera will get it, as he handled U19 Euro final in July and is the only one having made his debut un UEL Group Stage (Zürich-Ludogorets, this season)

      Delete
    3. See Hdz Hdz, Sanchez and even Munuera catalogued again as a second I feel great discouragement. But how does a referee who has already made two or three real-barcelona or real-atletico be in second!!!!! Rosetti here must get his hands on them and make them definitely accelerate

      Delete
  2. i knew it, that Hategan will have a top clash in this competition. But without a comittee member for him. By the way, I think somebody forgot the games between Serbia - Lithuania and Montenegro-Romania, which are not in the list.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Serbia - Lituania and Montenegro - Romania are planned for 20 November. Appointments for these games will be released tomorrow with the other games planned for the same date.

    2. Sorry, I mistake the dates and thank you for the information.

  3. By the way, Daniyar Sakhi is a mere twenty-seven years old!
    FYR Macedonia should win at a canter in Skopje, but still, very good appointment for the young Kazakh.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. To add, I think this should be the first time ever for a Kazakh appointment with additional assistant referees in international competitions. This never happened so far. However, I don't know whether national federation used already the system in some domestic games.

  4. Some news regarding Kovacs, hopefully everything is false.

    https://www.news.ro/sport/un-jucator-suedez-sustine-ca-istvan-kovacs-i-a-promis-ca-va-dicta-doua-penaltiuri-in-compensatie-suedia-a-castigat-in-turcia-din-penalti-1922413019292018111118666490

    https://www.prosport.ro/fotbal-extern/arbitrul-istvan-kovacs-prins-in-mijlocul-unui-scandal-la-meciul-turciei-lui-mircea-lucescu-i-a-promis-unui-adversar-ca-i-va-da-doua-penalty-uri-am-vorbit-cu-el-la-pauza-si-mi-a-spus-asta-17669743

    A Swedish player claims that Istvan Kovacs promised he would have assigned "two penalties" following a potential missed one in first half. Sweden won with a penalty.

    "At the end of the first half I went to talk to the referee to protest for a penalty not whistled by referee. We sat in the locker room, I explained my point of view and he made me a promise: 'I'm going to see the videos again, if it proves that I was wrong, I will give you two penalties in the second half '". A joke ... or not?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I hope that Kovacs isn't so idiot to have such kind of conversation. On the other hand it's impossible for Berg to prove such a conversation. Even if it's true, I can't imagine it's more than an unfortunate joke made by Kovacs.

      Delete
    2. I agree. I have a feeling it was a joke (ironicly: "if that was a penalty, then I'll whistle two penalties in the second half")

      For me, this statement by Berg is childish and unneccesary.
      Without any proof, with a lot of possible consequences.

      Delete
    3. Sense of humor is not the same for everyone. We will see how Rosetti understands the joke and can also joke.

      Delete
    4. Not a joke or type of conversation that any referee should have with a player. It leads to the referee's impartiality being questioned.

      Delete
    5. It was probably a joke lost in translation. Kovacs did get all the calls correctly in the second half especially with the penalty decisions so I am confident that nothing suspicious occured on the field. Also, no complaints about the refereeing from the usually vocal Turkish media as well.

    1. Very hot derby for Gautier, committee still trusts him very much. Definitely in the top 5 in France. Turpin is back from his injury with a minor match in this matchday, probably a European appointement to come next week.
      Apart from that, normal appointements.

      Delete
    2. Maybe in case of need, Turpin could get two games on both MD5 on MD6.

  6. RC in Andorra - Latvia.
    https://streamable.com/v7ooq
    Video is not clear but it seems as the player from Latvia spat to opponent.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Tiago Lopes seemed a bit distant in GEO - KAZ. Not a challenging match, two YCs - one for a dangerous challene and for a combination of holding and dissent moments before the final whistle. The latter player should have been cautioned way earlier for multiple incidents of dissent. Overall, he seemed not that interested in the game, rather removed for my taste. But dissent did not in any way influence him, maybe he is just that calm and I mistake it for removedness. Maybe of note that if Georgia's first goal hadn't gone in, I would have been a mandatory pk + RC for DOGSO (handball).

  14. Below you can see Virgil van Dijk consoling Ovidiu Hategan after final whistle. At half-time Hategan got the message that his mother passed away... Very sad story, showing once again that referees are humans, not robots, and we should have more and more empathy when talking about their performances...

    2. Very sad...
      Hategan is one very strong and professional referee, he deserved all the success he achieved. Also, Van Dijk showed once again his class, this time as a human.

      My thoughts are with Mr Hategan.

    3. My sincere condolences to Ovidiu Hategan and his close family. One can hardly imagine how difficult the last 45 minutes of yesterday’s match must have been for him... Very sad.

      Delete
    4. I agree wholeheartedly with Vlad's sentiments, the way that the media has dehumanised referees in the last twenty or so years especially is actually disgusting. One can remember Rizzoli in his WC interview- "we are normal people". Top level referees experience all the nuances and intricacies of every day life that everyone experiences. I hope I always write with empathy, it makes me so angry when people write unconstructive nonsensical criticism that is actually hurtful on here, please think before you post on the blog.

      Hațegan showed an incredible performance against this background, keeping his emotions in showed absolutely immense strength. I hope he is given time to rest and reflect in this most difficult time for those closest to her. I hope that knowing that her son was officiating one of the top matches in Europe, when the worst happened, gave her some amount of satisfaction and happiness.

      Also with what happened to Mr Bekker (he has my deepest best wishes and prayers that he recovers), this should be a night that firmly puts refereeing into perspective.

      Respect.

    5. A very sad news, I'm really touched. My condolences to Hategan and his family. When these things happen, many people realize that also referees are human people. The nice gestures by players at the end of the game are very strong messages.

  15. My deepest condolences to Mr. Hategan for this very sad news. Yes referee are human and everybody in the world must consider that. I really cannot understand how Hategan has managed the second half of this important match. He did a great job in spite of a very dramatic feeling inside. I also recently lots my mummy and really know how is the feeling at this time. Great professional by hategan and strong behavior.
    I have no idea if it has been a sudden event, but if his mother was in danger of life, he should be replaced. Really cannot understand how he has been so strong to complete the match with a so terrible news in his mind and in his heart.
    Take the opportunity of this news to remember Soham, who left us few moths ago. We cannot forget him

  16. More particulars:

    https://www.sport.ro/nations-league/hategan-a-fost-anuntat-la-pauza-meciului-ca-mama-sa-a-decedat-a-fost-o-greseala-imensa-il-putea-destabiliza.html

    https://www.sport.ro/liga-1/detalii-cutremuratoarea-despre-tragedia-prin-care-trece-hategan-exclusiv-ce-s-a-intamplat-in-vestiar-imediat.html

    At first, my big respect for Hategan. He had the strength to go on, officiating the second half after having known that his mother was died. This is not common: I think that most of the referees there would be unable to join again the pitch. Having said that, at least what we can point out is that his mother was already at hospitel and he knew that she was under medical treatment by a long time.
    This doesn't make the situation so much better, of course, but at least he was aware. I think it would have been something too big and maybe even impossible to bear, if this had happened suddenly, I mean unexpected, without any previous signal.
    Again, we are with Hategan and his family in these difficult days.
    May his mother rest in peace.
