Today appointments will be added later, meanwhile if you want you can try some predictions with observers!
ReplyDeleteI expect a young elite referee in Frankfurt. But this season seems to give plenty of opportunity for Second Category referees.
DeleteWow, Fran Jovic in Leverkusen-Nice in front of Jaap Uilenberg. I must say I did not expect this, great match for him. Duje Strukan, cat2, also with his debut in Europa League. I am very happy to see new, young, Croatian referees appointed, I really hope they will do well.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations also to Ms Frappart on her Europa league debut.
Agree, and I think that both Jovic and Strukan are quite good!
DeleteEL GS debuts for Viljanen, Strukan and Frappart?
ReplyDeleteAlso for Stegemann
DeleteAlso for Jovic
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all and best of luck to all referee team
ReplyDeleteExcelentes nombramientos para arbitros españoles!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent appointment for Jovic in front of Uilemberg; with all respect I think that Mrs Frappart seems a little bit overrate by Rosetti. Maybe some 2nd category official or some other female officials deserve to be appointed like her.
ReplyDeleteI didn't expect Del Cerro Grande in EL; it seems a temporary demotion to me.
Good to see back Kraloves
Stéphanie Frappart is getting closer to EURO 2020. Now we can be quite sure that committee has big plans for her in case of good performances shown. Important observer in Leicester.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the new generation of Croatian referees, I must say that a game like Bayer Leverkusen - Nice is a very big assignment for a debut! You can argue that committee has very big expectations on Fran Jović.
We have a Finnish debut as well, and that's a new try by committee after Gestranius, who didn't convince too much (my opinion).
A very good game for Hernández Hernández as well, while del Cerro gets Europa League as there are already two Spanish referees in Champions League matchday 1.
Zwayer still in Europa League, he must convince committee again before being back in Champions League.
Good to see Kralovec in a game.
For Kehlet it is a similar situation like Gestranius, after some CL appearances, they didn't manage to make the step and now it seems they have returned "normal" Category 1 referees.
I think that the appointments for Gestranius, Kehlet and also Madden are typical ones; experienced referees in potentially quite heated games.
DeleteHas Kehlet been injured? I don´t remeber seeing his name earlier this year. Madden and Gestranius has had some games this season, so I think they are still trusted by committee, and experienced referees are always needed.
How sure are you that Frappart is being prepped for the Euros? I’m not trying to deny it, but it seems difficult to measure in this situation. Normally, most referees debuting in the EL less than a year before the tournament would have no shot. But then again, none of those other referees have experience in a WWC Final... it’s a very unique situation and it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
DeleteAbout Zwayer : After several really very bad matches he is back on ground zero and this is more than well deserved.
DeleteMaybe it is the time for UEFA to focus on another German referee, unless Zwayer's spot on the WC 2022 is locked and they must prepare him.
DeleteAbout Zwayer: this seems like a sensible appointment. PSV-Granada isn’t a small game, and we all know Granada may be very difficult to referee. So a more experienced referee seems sensible, hence why they’ve given it to an Elite referee who they may consider to be on low form. Plus, I think Zwayer’s style will serve UEFA well with Granada involved, so this appointment seems like a match made in heaven.
DeleteMaybe Daniel Siebert?
DeleteSiebert or Stieler, but Siebert is younger. Brych (45) and DFB will have to decide by 8 November whether he will continue in 2021.
DeleteWould it be better if female officials can get promoted from Women Elite to Men Third and work their way up? It would give the appointmens a lot more fairness and it would be easier to assess their appointments and performances as well.
ReplyDeleteCan you clarify for me how the current system works in comparison? As Frappart is the first referee to really take this path, I think it is still unclear exactly how UEFA incorporates her experience in the Women’s game to their assignments in the Men’s game. Let me know if you know more information on this subject.
DeleteFemale referees who pass the men's fitness test are eligible to be considered for both men's and women's matches.
DeleteAppointing Frappart to Euro 2020 will be a huge PR success for UEFA, after giving her the 2019 Super Cup, and UEFA will do everything they can to make it happen.
I have a feeling that UEFA is preparing the way for England and France to have two referees each at Euro: Taylor & Oliver, respectively Turpin & Frappart.
DeleteThe Dutch FA expects two referees as well. If Kuipers continues, then they expect both Makkelie and Kuipers to be appointed as referees
DeleteIf someone wrote this as a prediction in comments, I would probably think that he/she is crazy,but obviously there is a shift towards more chances for new referees.
ReplyDeleteI dont understand how Jovic got such highly reputable game for a debut, but good luck to him. I just hope he doesnt make a step back with a potential bad performance.
Am I the only one having a problem with Frapparts appointment?
ReplyDeleteHow many of you can see a male referee in womens UEL/UCL in the future? I understand the principle of appointing the best but that would rule most female FIFAs out of any competitions as most of them are not even in the highest tier of male football in their national leagues unlike their male collegues.
Nothing away from Frappart herself tho, I think she is a great referee. My only issue is with the equality and transparency of this decision.
I don’t have any problem with the appointment, as long as it is based on merit. I am not aware of any reason to believe it’s not merited.
DeleteIt is difficult, as an onlooker, to compare Frappart’s qualifications directly with her male competitors, because none of those competitors have the vast experience in the women’s game that Frappart has. It is unclear how heavily UEFA weigh this experience; there is no precedent for how this is handled. Certainly a very interesting situation to keep tabs on.
It is merited only if you consider her FWWC19 experience equivalent with men's UEFA competitions. If that is the case, why only Frappart and not open the door also to others (e.g. Monzul - who got U21, or Staubli - who actually got a men's game at FU17WC)?
DeleteI can only give my congratulation to this courageous decision!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you.
DeleteWe will see are we going to congratulate or we will criticize that decision
DeleteAccording to Viljanen's appointment and debut can we expect more newly promoted referees in 2nd group to be appointed in Europa league group stage ? Like Tschudi, Christofi, Godinho. All 3 of them have the quality to officiate these kind of matches.
ReplyDeleteI hope so. Specially Christofí, I watched him for the first time in Latvia-Andorra Nations League a month ago and he had a quite good performance.
DeleteChange in Villarreal - Sivasspor. Paweł Raczkowski is now the referee.
ReplyDeleteWhy??????
DeleteI am glad for Raczkowski! He was for some reason ommited lately, but he is a good international referee and I like his style.
DeleteCovid and/or travel restrictions?
ReplyDeleteSurprise!
ReplyDeleteJuan Martínez Munuera (UEFA Second) appointed for Saturday's Clásico. José María Sánchez Martínez will be VAR.
Suprise? Maybe for you, it was a very expected appointment! Also reported om the blog.
DeleteReally deserved. Congratulations to him, it was about time.
DeleteVery interesting appointment, for sure a different one!
DeleteTo be honest the El Classico of this season doesn't have the Sonorous sound of it or I rather say it doesn't have the appeal, even as a Barcelona fan I am not looking forward to that match, so maybe explains why there is a change of guard in respect to the referee being appointed, thus providing carlos Velasco the perfect time to try a different hand when the two teams are not so much in thier best of days in recent years

Dean for a Liverpool game that isn't the Merseyside Derby!?
DeleteGood to see Jarred Gillett as VAR in a Premier League game. Unless I've missed something I believe he's one of the first select group 2 referees to do so this season.
DeleteFrom now on, DFB will provide information about on-going VAR checks in first and second division matches on Twitter for transparency reasons. They hope to make the procedure more clear, so everyone is able to understand what is going on on the pitch and for what reason an incident is checked by the VAR. Tweets will include the referee's decision, reason for check and the final decision after check.

Veeery soft penalty in Bern...
ReplyDeleteAnd 2 missed YC..
DeleteNot the best Del Cerro tonight
Min 92 incident?
DeleteI would say missed 2nd YC for Young Boys #5 at 92’. Even if Roma #33 had an exaggerated reaction, YC was mandatory.
DeleteNot a good performance by Del Cerro Grande this evening: a lot of inconsistency, some missed YCs.
Prior to 1-1, possible VC for Roma #33
Correct PK for handball by Kehlet.
ReplyDeleteVery good football match in Poznań but also correct penalty for handball awarded by Dabanović (07'). Apart from that, rightly rejected penalty shout (10'), correct but quite harsh YC for reckless attack (17'), missed YC for reckless tackle (31') and good, firm presence.
ReplyDeleteWrong yellow card and foul for PSV by Zwayer (45') The Player didn't touch the face
ReplyDeleteMiss Red card in Lech-Benfica?
ReplyDeleteNothing there, correct play-on call.
Delete55' Possible missed 2YC for PSV17 by Zwayer?
ReplyDelete60' Correct no-foul prior to 3-1 by Jovic.
ReplyDeleteI think correct PK + YC (DOGSO attempting to play the ball) by Viljanen for Molde's 1-2.
ReplyDeleteAgreed - just tuned in for some minutes and Viljanen seems quite promising on a manner level, not really a challenging match.
DeleteHe shouldn't bare being told to "f**k off" by Dundalk players though without reprimanding them (90').
DeleteOff-the-ball violent conduct (striking) offence by a Dundalk player missed by Viljanen (+97') - this was in the visual control of AR1/FO inside the penalty area. Freekick only given, probably only on the cries of the struck Molde player.
DeleteWow. We should overthink the name "UEFA Europa League". Probably "UEFA Penalty League" would be more correct ;)
ReplyDeleteAny info about Umut Meler at CSKA - Cluj game?
ReplyDeleteGood performance, although the game was not very challenging. Penalty decision against CSKA was also correct (pulling).
DeleteDaniel Stefanski with a solid and unspectacular performance in Napoli - Alkmaar.Two correct YCs and all situations in the penalty area solved correctly.
ReplyDeleteClip of the missed Violent Conduct incident (freekick given; no sanction) from the Dundalk - Molde game, handled by Petri Viljanen:
ReplyDeletehttps://streamable.com/oi6pt7
(for those watching on a stadium track, it was certainly an education in how to swear your way through the English alphabet :))
By the way Quilava, did you actually see Viljanen issue a caution at the penalty scene? I am not sure he did and flashscore isn't recording it either :D
DeleteI really dont like Viljanen's attitude and more than that his body shape. Not a top referee's body
DeleteSpanish broadcaster cut it when Viljanen was actually reaching his shorts pocket, hence I assumed that a YC was shown
DeleteNot the best presentation regarding fitness, indeed!
DeleteCompared to a lot of the referees in the English Premier League, his body shape and fitness are fantastic.
Delete:)))
DeleteWow, what a fascinating game in Poznań. Dabanović handled it very well.
ReplyDeleteKey Match Incidents:
07' - correct penalty for deliberate handling
10' - rightly rejected penalty appeal
15' - good wait-and-see onside at 1-1 (AR2-REF)
46' - correct play-on call in a DOGSO scenario
48' - extremely difficult situation for AR1 at 2-2, rather no-offside
Disciplinary:
17' - YC #05 LPO for reckless foul, harsh but OK, dissent by #25 LPO
31' - missed YC #15 LPO for reckless tackle
88' - potential YC #15 LPO for reckless kick
90' - YC #06 LPO for reckless tackle, correct
Overall:
Firm and distant manner, not interested in chatting with players, refereeing what is in front of him. Good positioning. Well done, 8.5 from me!
Maybe I’m the only one, but I think that penalty at 8’ is wrong. LOTG state that “it is not usually an offence if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm when a player falls and the hand/arm is between the body and the ground to support the body, but not extended laterally or vertically away from the body”
DeleteI think this is exactly the aforementioned case.
We are taught that it's an offence if you try to block a shot or pass.
DeleteI would like to see more comments... for me very interesting situation
DeleteActually I don’t think he was trying to block a pass or a shot, he was simply trying not to fall heavily on the ground and, since LOTG allow the defender to do so, and I cannot spot any movements of the arm towards the ball to make the handling deliberate, to me this is a play-on situation
DeleteCorrect PK by Gestranius in Zagreb.
ReplyDeleteIMO correct FK + RC for DOGSO by Strukan in Prague (23')
ReplyDeleteDuje Strukan with a straight RC for DOGSO, holding outside the box, central position.
ReplyDeleteCorrect decision for what I could watch (short replay of the end of action).
Interesting situation - did the holding cause the fall of the attacker or did he go down easily having realised he wasn't going to reach the ball?

DeleteIMO supportable, clear pulling, slight rotation of the attacker. The question about intensity remains, though.
Mmmh rewatching it, the intensity of the holding is not clear, one can have the doubt player deceived referee to get the foul, however I think basically the call can be supported without the contrary evidence.
DeleteIMO no foul would be the better call, however DOGSO RC isn't wrong/supportable.
DeleteThere is a possible offside situationbefore Leicester goal. An attacker was lying down close to keeper, this would have been deeply analyzed, in case, by VAR. Without it, I think too difficult for AR1.
ReplyDeleteThere was really nothing to analyze, it was in split seconds, the person who was on the floor was the one who passed the ball to the goal scorer and the ball was in the net withing a split seconds and player on the floor had no time to even influence the goal keeper, I will even argue that the ball was in front of the player on the ground

DeleteSimilar to Ajax - Real Madrid a few years ago. A player in offside position was touching the goalkeepr. Goal would be disallowed.
DeletePossible tight offside before Wolfsberfger’s penalty
ReplyDeleteNo offside. Everything correct by Stegemann and his team.
DeleteHernández Hernández missed a penalty for Hoffenheim - charging foul (24').
ReplyDeleteQuit first half for Matej Jug in Celtic - Milan.Solid foul detection and some good advantage s given.
ReplyDeleteOne advantage should have been stopped and Milan player should receive YC.
In my opinion not the best fitness condition: often too far away and only walking on the pitch.
Interesting situations in Sparta Prague - LOSC.
ReplyDelete38' - Potentially missed 2nd YC for Lille (SPA - holding)
45+2' - Possible penalty kick for Sparta. R originally whisteled a penalty, but after AR's intervention only DFK. IT seemed to be wrong decision since PK should have been whisteled because the foul was on the line.
55' - too early whistled - clear advantage for Lille should have been awarded.
DeleteNot very convincing performance from Strukan in my view
Video of 45+2' situation?
DeleteRegarding the 38' situation (Botman holding Pavelka), player cannot be cautioned for SPA when the advantage was applied. On the other hand, I believe these kinds of holding offenses (holding an apponent in possesion with zero intent to play the ball) should always be punished by YK for unsporting behavior. So Botman should have been shown a 2nd YK for unsporting behavior and sent off - crucial mistake.
DeleteConfrontation in Sparta Praga - Lille, some cards issued by Strukan. Good body language if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the confrontation was handled really well. But other situations were not that good
DeleteMissed foul by Hernández Hernández before Hoffenheim goal I think :/
ReplyDeleteStankovic ejected by 2 consecutive YCs for dissent.
Clear ball, excellent call!
DeleteI sincerely hope so! Live it seemed like a foul for me.
DeleteLooks pretty good to me.

IMO no foul, everything correctly assessed.
DeleteNo foul
DeleteObvious RC missed: Rudy Boq. 64’ in SCBraga-AEKAthens
ReplyDeleteIs there a report on how Frappart did?
ReplyDeleteDel Cerro Grande penalty in Bern:
ReplyDeletehttps://streamja.com/pAJr5
I think that VAR would have intervened, no contact at all, rather simulation by attacker.
No contact, haha??? That is celar penalty!
DeleteI won't say there is no contact. In the shot from the goal camera you can clearly see there is contact with the defender's back.
DeleteI do agree this is not a penalty kick. The defender has a right for his position and is "not moving into the way of an opponent", as the LOTG it states.
IMO penalty should not be awarded, but it's not a crucial mistake, because contact can be seen.
DeleteI see a clear contact. IMO penalty. Never a crucial mistake
DeleteDefender moved back (look the camera behind the goal) and he hit the attacer with the ball in his possesion, so clear penalty and yellow card for defender (promising attack)
DeleteClear penalty. He blocked move with his back.
DeleteQuite laughable that nowadays people seem to think contact is synonym for foul.
DeleteNo penalty here! It will be supported but by structurally calling these penalties a referee will never be considered top elite.
There is contact, but not enough for a penalty kick. Football is a contact sport and not every contact is a foul.

ReplyDeleteAs there is contact for sure it will be supported
ReplyDeleteViktor gomes from South Africa will referee today ahli vs wac in 2 nd semi final caf champions League in Cairo
ReplyDeleteAnyone have the video of MISSED penalty from Maden at PAOK-OMONOIA? 72 minute
ReplyDeleteYou must be discussing the correct simulation call at around 60 minutes. There was another incident with Omonoia 11 which can never be a penalty.
DeleteI watched the match and a solid performance from Madden. It surprises me that he was not in champions league and I can’t understand why he has never moved to Elite. Especially when you consider some of the Elite performances we are seeing at the moment.

DeleteThe penalty by Dabanović for handball:
ReplyDeletehttps://streamja.com/XaMjX
Good decition
DeleteFor me this is a wrong penalty decision and a textbook example of “when a player falls and the hand/arm is between the body and the ground....”.
DeleteIMO not a wrong penalty.
DeleteWrong penalty.
DeleteI think that reading all the answers, we can have the solution.
DeleteIndeed this should be just a supportable call, nothing black or white, one can't say 100% correct, 100% wrong, there will be different opinions. So it is up to referee to decide whether player used malice to touch the ball and stop it wiht that arm, or it was something unavoidable due to the movement of defender. I think that just watching the incident, we can't have any evidence, so referee should be supported.
The evidence is in the LOTG quoted above by Anonymous @19:37: “when a player falls and the hand/arm is between the body and the ground....”
DeleteI am totally agree with chefren.
