  1. An interesting remark regarding the Andorran assignment:
    Marta San Juan Casado (AND) should be the former player:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marta_San_Juan
    1999 born! Still not eligible for FIFA list (age of 23 is the minimum required). So very likely she will manage it for next year.

    1. Kovacs talks about the big influence of Vassaras. I searched him in youtube and found an interesting video, where he explains handball very well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIfaMa3uBMo

  3. 2nd Q appointment

    Astana - Aris: Dankert, Borsch, Rohde, Reichel (GER)

  4. Interesting, that there are no female referees appointed so far in the qualifiers.
    With the joined lists, one could have assumed, that more and more female referees would be used in male competitions and those early qualifying rounds seem the ideal opportunity for such debut.
    E.g., treating women Elite referees like 2nd or 3rd category men.
    But apparently UEFA has a different idea about that.

  5. You mean referee team or national team?

  6. Debuts for Luka Bilbija (BiH) and Dario Bel (CRO) in UEFA competitions.

  7. Also a small observation. Balasz Berke had 2 appointments in CL last season (preliminary + 1st round), he had Qatar-Ireland friendly and now he is appointed for Conference league 1st QR in a season with much more games. Could be a sign of a step back?

    1. Yes, an official statement from DFB was published earlier today.

  10. Maybe he didn't receive it the new one yet :D

    ReplyDelete
  11. Anything else about his performance? :)

    By the way, I think his appointment for Hungarian club could be avoided because his wife plays handball in Hungary, but I guess that it is all within rules.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Yes, he went to Hungary for few days. I dont think he was afraid of the fans, but he was on the front page of several magazines so it isnt pleasant and he wanted some peace

  15. Interesting picture published by UEFA, VAR at work during a game at EURO.

    Light off, I guess because they could see better the screens, without missing any single detail.

  16. Surprisingly, quite challenging for Luka Bilbija (Śląsk Wrocław - Paide Linnameeskond). Mainly due to three penalty incidents he had to assess. I would strongly prefer penalties in 27' and 56'. Regarding disciplinary control, he was decent, issuing mandatory YCs for reckless kick (10') and holding (59'). However, I missed at least a public warning for blatant holding in the 3rd minute. He just whistled a foul and nothing followed. Some problems with positioning, especially in the first half. Whistling for half time while reckless(?) use of arm is performed was suboptimal too. The mark will depend on how Mr Tulinger sees the penalty incidents, otherwise 8.2-8.3 should be the mark.

    1. Thank you for these clips! I indeed think that with a closer look at 27' and 56' the referee would have whistled penalty! In both situations, it is difficult to see what exactly happeened live, but then replays are quite clear. Actions against opponents without any intent to ball.
