  1. Piero Giacomelli with a very problematic management in Napoli - Atalanta ((full sequence):
    https://streamable.com/jpc0o

    It seems as Rizzoli has assessed as supportable the choice by VAR to back referee, because not clear and obvious penalty, but he would have liked to see a foul whistled in favor of defender, for a better management of the situation. Giacomelli was in trouble for making the decision accepted by players. There were big discussions, however, it was also something very unlucky, because without the goal scored after that, nobody would have talked so much about incident. The fact is that possible penalty and then Atalanta counter attack are the same action and VAR was forced to analyze this situation.
    Also, many people suggested that it would have been wise, given the situation, to make an OFR to better sell the decision.
    In the confusion you can also notice a player from SSC Napoli who doesn't want to be touched by Giacomelli and he says to him "please don't touch me".
    Now Giacomelli is totally out from the new set of appointments.

    1. Sorry but this is a clear penalty IMHO!
      His management is absolutely poor and totally insecure.

      Why did ancelotti get a red card, he just tried to get his players to play again !!

      Delete
    2. Disagree IMO. Clear foul with arm on defender by Napoli attacker before penalty's foul. Agree with Chefren about poor Management and pushing the player was a huge mistake by referee Giacomelli. Red card ok for assistant coach by ref should have been more intelligent and let Ancelotti on the bench (perhaps bad words by coach?).

    3. Clear faul on defender. Great call to give a goal here!
      Very poor managment.

      Delete
    4. Agree with Frenchref and Mlacko. It's a free kick, not a penalty.

      Delete
    5. I don't see the problem in that situation. Correct decision. I don't fully understand Ancelotti's RC, but without hearing his words, I can't comment. Management could have been better, but unfortunately it was very difficult for the referee given Napoli's players behaviour.

    6. Clear foul by Llorente before he got fouled. He put his arm straight into the face of the defender.Not a penalty at all.

      Delete
  2. Samothing really bad happened there.
    At first - it's a penalty for me too.
    But all after that is a disaster and clear example of bad management - 2 RC, YC, pushing a player! Even considering 'the italian style' it's totally unacceptable.

  3. Excellent performance in the first half of AS Roma - Napoli by referee Gianluca Rocchi!

    Correct penalty for AS Roma for handball,amazing VAR intervention (very fast and correct OFR) because no one recognized the handball by Callejon!

    1. I must say excellent spot here by Aureliano (VAR). Video will follow soon, most of the VAR would have missed this penalty.

      Delete
    2. Rocchi is one of the best referee in Europe he is a second Rizzoli but it s sad that he will retire for a moment, who Should be his succesor ? Orsato? Irrati? Doveri?

      Delete
  4. Very "interesting" situation (actually crucial mistake, IMO, by del Cerro Grande acting as VAR) in Levante - Barcelona. Clear penalty for Barcelona, which meant their first (and only for now) goal… but there was an offside position in the build up. He completely missed that.

    Also, a not really convincing performance in Valencia - Sevilla (too many cards, many due to dissent and the ones for fouls, very soft or plainly wrong, with one overturned by RFEF, and not a feeling of full control) in the mid-week matchday and today's mistake are making it a bad week for him.

      video of the offside situation (not the penalty)

    2. I can't believe that a so expert VAR like Del Cerro, missed that?

      Delete
    3. The situation was not immediate, it was like 40-60 seconds before, but Levante did not gain possession, so it had to be called.

      Now a correct intervention to disallow Barcelona's second goal due to offside.

      Commentators are saying that there is a huge internal discussion among referees regarding if it is the same situation or a new one. To me it should be clear: it is the same as the defending team does not regain possession, thus the offending team gains advantage of an infraction to the Laws of the Game. Anything else is, IMO, just an attempt to justify a mistake that should not happen with VAR.

      Delete
    5. But it's not only about possession: The attacking phase can be shorter than the interval, where the team has possession.

      "‘attacking phase’
      Defining the point at which the ‘attacking phase (move)’ starts will be subjective but should include deciding:
      • the point at which the attacking team advanced with the ball towards their opponents’ penalty area and, if the attacking team has a long period of ‘keep ball’ possession, the point at which they either cross the halfway line (for ‘keep ball’ in their own half) or, if ‘keep ball’ is in their opponents’ half, the point at which a clear forward/attacking phase of play starts."

    6. I disagree. First of all, because that document is from before the VAR experiment ended and the official protocol came into effect. I cannot find what you posted on it. Secondly, because of this particular situation. The defending team does not touch the ball at all until the restart after the goal, nor is close to. That offside position helps them keep the ball and end the situation with a penalty. And third, because of inconsistency and lack of communication. No changes were publicly announced with respect to this, and last season in Spain the review period restarted when the possession changed.

      So for me, this was a crucial mistake. Fortunately for them, Levante won and the controversy won't be as much as if Barcelona had won. However, the incident has been noticed by many people and even the commentators asked for a public statement by CTA regarding this (specifying when a review window is decided to end).

      Delete
    7. In this specific situation, I think it is a grey area, whether it still is the same attacking phase, because the ball stays near the penalty area - however they partly play away from it. If they would have made some passes in their own half during the possession phase, it would be clearly not the same APP, I think.

      But OK, if it was communicated in the past in Spain, that the whole possession phase counts, then I agree with you. And a public statement would be helpful, of course.

    8. In This case is one new thing, mistake which was made by Del Cerro Grande I think He had bad day Every human can has worse day ;) but it is nothing new about Hernandez Hernandez we know he is very weak referee...

  5. Great performance by Cüneyt Cakir in Turkish Süper Lig match Antalyaspor 1-2 Besiktas.

    Solid foul detection,excellent communication with the players as we know him and clear mimics and gestures!

    Five fully correct YCs:

    + 9' Antalyaspor No. 5
    + 48' Besiktas No. 8
    + 67' Antalyaspor No. 9
    + 69' Besiktas No. 23
    + 90+4' Antalyaspor No. 12

    IMO two missed YCs for Antalyaspor players in 20' and 30'.

    Correct rejected penalty in 90+5'.

    1. Cakir's Assistant Referee 2 Mustafa Emre Eyisoy was replaced after the first half by Fourth Offical Caner Ak.

  6. Quite interesting end of the match for González González in Sevilla-Atlético Madrid. I think he missed an illegal ball retention (so, IFK from 5'5m distance) after a Sevilla defender made a goal line clearance in 93'.

    1. I think that too. The thing is: can that be considered DOGSO? If so, VAR could have intervened because of the RC. However, I don't think that in this particular situation it was an obvious DOGSO, so no intervention was OK for me.

      BTW, what do you think about the situation I posted above?

      Delete
    2. I agree, that should be a IFK and technically it's also (a very unusual) DOGSO, so VAR could/should have intervened.

      Delete
    3. I believe that IFAB issued a diktat explicitly saying that deliberate passes back to the goalkeeper as technical offenses are not to considered on the SPA-DOGSO framework, the same as eg. IFKs for dangerous play.

      I will ask for clarification on that from IFAB.
