ReplyDeleteJure Praprotnik with Rade👌
ReplyDeleteBibiana Steinhaus-Webb will no longer work as a video assistant for DFB. The reason for this is a new professional challenge in England. The seven-time German Referee of the Year will start her new job as "Women's Select Group Director" at the London-based referees' association PGMOL in August. This will also involve an exchange between the DFB and the Football Association (FA).
ReplyDeleteBibiana Steinhaus-Webb says: "I am looking forward to the task as Women's Select Group Director in the PGMOL team. Women's football in England is setting completely new standards with the current framework. I am looking forward to the great opportunity to share my diverse refereeing experience with the referees in England and to support them in reaching their full potential as well as to implement resilient structures within the association for the optimal development of the referees. I am very grateful to Lutz Michael Fröhlich (German head of refereeing) and his team for enabling me to take this step and I look forward to the desired exchange and intensive cooperation between the DFB and the FA."

Roberto Rosetti will observe Karasev in Supercup.
ReplyDeleteDonatas Rumšas appointed for Rijeka-Hibernians. How is this possible, that one referee is appointed twice in the same round? Last week he officiated CSKA Sofia - Osijek. Also it is a bit strange in that case to have 2 games with Croatian teams.
ReplyDeleteI don't see a real problem. There could be many reasons for the "double" appointment: Shortage of referees, failed fitness or LOTG test, injuries and so on.

ReplyDeleteVAR will be used at Women's EURO 2022, and this season will see the development of the tool for female referees as well, in this regard.
I remember there was a discussion about that on the blog some days ago during Olympic tournament.
https://twitter.com/MacronSports/status/1424749346944335873
ReplyDeleteThe new referee kit announcement video by Macron suggests that Karasev will wear the red kit on Wednesday
They don't know that somebody during preliminary rounds already spoiled it: D
DeleteWell at least now we know that pink colour kit is removed and replaced by red one. In preliminary rounds the (very few) referees wearing the new collection were either in yellow (Kopriwa, Papadopoulos) or black (Zelinka) :D
DeleteShame for the pink one...
DeleteThis week's UCL/UEL/UECL matches are expected to be the last ones with old kits I guess
DeleteOT
ReplyDeleteI have a question regarding the marking system with VAR.
If a referee changes his decision after an OFR his mark is 7.9 or 8.2?
It depends on how the observer assesses the mistake: should the referee spot it himself? (7.9) or the referee was not able to correctly assess the situation despite his good positioning (no deduction)
DeleteIt is said that Mark Clattenburg and Steve Bennett (new Ref committee member) told the 1st League observers to mark the referee with 8.2 if he changes a decision after an OFR.
DeleteWell... Apparently he was own vision ;)

DeletePAOK - Bohemians
ReplyDeleteMin. 35' After a shot on the woodwork, the ball has crossed the goal line. AR says play-on. There is no VAR or GLT.
Which team had this goal denied?
DeletePAOK
DeleteBtw Weinberger had a satisfying performance on a normal difficulty match. He kept his cards on his pocket as long as he could despite that there were 2 incidents that IMO were mandatory cautions. He managed the match mostly with small talk and tried to be proactive on set-pieces in several cases. Foul detection was not consistent all the time but he didn't face much trouble.
DeleteAR2 correctly disallowed a goal from PAOK for offside.
Molde-Trabzonspor
ReplyDeleteCrucial (and I think correct) ONSIDE decision by AR2 to allow Molde equaliser in 90+7'
Seems to be correct but never had a chance to see from offside camera.
DeleteNeviem po anglicky, preto sa vyjadrím vo svojej reči, ak niekto rozumie, môže to preložiť.
ReplyDeleteCelá situácia okolo slovenských najlepších rozhodcov Kružliaka a Glovu je čudná. Kružliak v slovenskej lige dlho stál pre hrubú chybu, ktorá ovplyvnila zápas, Glova na Jar rozhodoval 2 zápasy (pritom bolo 13 kôl) a v jednom zápase bol VAR. A ich stáli asistenti Somoláni (asistent Kružliaka) a Frrenc (asistent Glovu) tiež v lige dlho nerozhodujú a na medzinárodnej scéne ich nahradili iní. A ešte Glovu nepozvú ani na predsezónny seminár rozhodcov UEFA, napriek tomu, že má 33 rokov a už 4 zápasy odpískané v skupinovej fáze EL. Na druhej strane mu na dnešný zápas v Eurrópskej konferenčnej lige dajú takéhoto pozorovateľa. Človek nevie, čo si má o tom myslieť.
2 mistakes in Rubin- Raków. One miss penalty and This penalty in 120 it shouldnt be
ReplyDeleteGood goal decision by AR1 in St johnstone v galatasaray. Claims for a foul on gk, absolutely correct decision by the referee to not give it
ReplyDeleteI have a question if anybody knows, are Brych, Zwayer, Steiler and Seibert all elite? Because I was under the impression that only 3 referees from a country can be in the elite group, please correct me if I am wrong.
ReplyDeleteThe German Elite referees at moment are Brych, Zwayer, Stieler and Aytekin but not Siebert (Category 1). You forgot Aytekin in your list. About a maximum of 3 Elite per country, this seems indeed the most common highest number, but there have been exceptions in past as well. I remember Spain some years ago when Undiano was still active for a while they had four Elite referees. But never a country with more than 4 Elite, and maybe that's why Siebert couldn't get promotion on this update, having to wait at least for Brych retirement.
DeleteThanks Chefren. But I always wonder how Seibert went to the EURO with 3 other elite referees left out?...
DeleteThis was indeed a very particular and unexpected choice, we discussed it on the blog. The quality of other contenders (Zwayer, Stieler and Aytekin) was not enough for committee...
DeleteRemember that also Ekberg from Sweden, Category 1, attended the tournament.
Thank you for explaining!
DeleteVery poor match from Bognar. One clear penalty in favour of Rakow not given and then a ridiculous penalty, there was no contact whatsoever, given in favour of Rubin. And in general foul detection seems not his strongest point.
ReplyDeleteI disagree. Yes, Raków could/should have had a penalty for tripping in 102' but the penalty given in favour of Rubin in 120' was a great spot by Hungarian. Wydra (RCZ) performed a late tackle and recklessly hit a shooting attacker with trailing leg. 100% penalty in UEFA (and if it wasn't given in a game with VAR, an intervention would be required).
DeleteAs for foul detection, I think he was very good in general, not reacting to easy falls by Kvaratskhelia (RUB). He misjudged a tackle in 14', it should've been a YC for SPA, ball was not played. The first YC to Samoshnikov (RUB) in 105' was for minor holding, I can understand his frustration, but whistled it was 100% SPA. And that was all.
Big mistake by De Burgos Bengoetxea in Sivas. FK+YC for IMO a non-punishable handball... that happened inside of the box.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if handball decision is correct but if he decided handball it was clearly inside the box. Not by cm by more than two meters inside.
DeleteYes very big scandal from Burgos Bengoetxea.
Deletehttps://ibb.co/zZxCxYg
Big mistake, indeed
DeletePenalty geven by Durieux for Dundalk. Even after 4 replays no idea why
ReplyDeleteAlso a lot yc in the final minutes. Even for a player that wants a medical treatment..
DeleteKári Jóannesarson á Høvdanum was very impressive in Bodo-Prishtina. After repeated pulling from Prishtina at corner kicks he gave a soft but fully deserved penalty, very brave decision.
ReplyDeleteAlso to be noted is his unique card procedure: He runs behind all the players to get the overview of the situation instead of into it, and makes sure the player does not walk away with great authority.
Last Conference League game in Bodo was refereed by Serie A referee Paolo Valeri, who was much poorer than this Faroese 31 year old talented referee. Hope we can see him in the group stage and some qualifier, he is a unique talent from the middle of the Atlantic ocean. If Irmatov from Uzbekistan could become one of the world's best, how can't Kári from the Faroes become it too? :)
Thank you! Hopefully his promotion to Second last year wasn't a 'token small federation move' by UEFA, I will be very happy if he gets more chances this season.
DeleteIt seemed like a crazy match for Irish crew in Malta.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLR_hiGQq_g
I didn't watch it of course and don't know if there were any mistakes by the ref but the way he dealt with all this was spectacular, excellent! Top Elite Category style :)
DeleteImpressed with the professionalism of the crew in such a ridiculous situation involving the bench. Agreed, it was top Elite style!
DeleteAbsolutely top class management by Hennessy.
DeleteI guess almost all referees from lower categories and without big experience at international level would have been in big trouble there. Let's remember the Ukrainian crew in Andorra the last round... firmness and authority by the Irish.
I especially like the yellow card to the yellow captain - really well done, cause he did pass a limit with he behavior. Also good that the person who went in again at the bench also was rewarded with a red card.
DeleteThree key match incidents from FC Rubin Kazan - Raków Częstochowa refereed by Tamás Bognár
ReplyDelete102. - Penalty incident, tripping
https://streamable.com/dln5ps
105. and 106. - Both YCs to Samoshnikov (Rubin)
https://streamable.com/nxhszf
120. - Penalty kick to Rubin and YC Wydra (Raków) for late trailing leg tackle
https://streamable.com/kefsnh
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
DeletePenalty in 102' should have been whistled as the attacker is clearly hit, maybe not easy to see, but also it doesn't look like a very big miss.
Delete205' - 106' the first foul seems to be very, very soft, maybe even not enough, but once whistled, it is difficult to imagin a simulation in such situation so I would support referee, the SPA is very clear, then second YC without doubts. Player could (should?) have been already sent off by second YC then after first foul he applauded referee.
120' live you have the impression that the contact after having kicked ball is reckless, the penalty is absolutely correct, I understand why many protests and different ideas, the problem is that not all referees are consistent on this matter, mostly it is not whistled.
So I would say a not perfect officiating if we look in detail every situation, but overall you understand why all the decisions have been taken. That's important.
105 I see no faul so the first yc is incorrect. Second YC 100% correct
Delete102' no PK for me, too slight contact, striker is looking for it (he stretches his leg just before the contact) and can easily continie to walk. But IMO PK would still be supportable, as it was a 'stupid' challenge.
Delete105' IMO, first YC very wrong, norhting illegal by the 'offender' second YC is of course right and has to be given.
120' 5050 decision, IMO, maybe rather a PK. (not best replays)
102 PK - supportable, but prefer no Pk
Delete105- 1st YC, difficult to see, but the white player tripped himself so no YC
120 PK - no PK
Did not see the match but judging by provided videos, points to improve are foul detection/criteria.
The whole situation around the Slovak best judges Kružliak and Glov is strange. Kružliak in the Slovak league stood for a long time due to a gross mistake that affected the match, Glova decided 2 matches in the spring (there were 13 rounds present) and VAR was in one match. And their permanent assistants Somoláni (assistant Kružliak) and Frrenc (assistant Glova) also do not make long-term decisions and have been replaced on the international scene by others. And Glova will not be invited to the pre-season seminar of UEFA referees, most recently because he is 33 years old and already 4 matches whistled in the EL group stage. On the other hand, an observer can help him to match in the European Conference League. One does not know what to think about it.
ReplyDeleteHennessy and his team performed their task in an excellent way. This video will hopefully be used to teach young referees but not only
ReplyDeleteGermany:
ReplyDeleteMarco Fritz (FIFA 2nd) is appointed for tonight's Bundesliga opener top clash Borussia Mönchengladbach - Bayern München.
Harm Osmers (FIFA 2nd) is the official for tonight's important 2.Bundesliga city derby FC St. Pauli - Hamburger SV.
Paweł Gil retires from active refereeing and will focus on VAR. He was a FIFA referee since 2009. Currently in 1st category, he refereed two games in Champions League in 2012/13 season and plenty of games in group phase and knockout rounds of Europa League.
ReplyDeleteHe also stated that the reason is his new duties in UEFA in VAR project.
DeletePAOK - Bohemians
ReplyDeleteThe situation from 35'
https://streamable.com/pabwvl
No goal!
DeleteIn my opinion impossible to say whether goal or not, you can't ask an assistant referee for seeing that. Without technology decision must be accepted. It is possible that ball was not totally in with the part not touching the ground.
DeleteExtremely hard to tell without goal line technology. I think the decision must be accepted if there is no clear angle like in Serbia-Portugal, it is very close call.

Thank you Forlan
DeletePK: I can't tell from the video footage, it's definitely risky by the defender. The attacker falls on his own accord (and not very confincingly)
2nd YC: Way too harsch SYC IMO, but I don't know if he was warned before etc.
UCL playoff predictions (VAR in parentheses):
ReplyDeleteLeg 1
MON-SHK: Marciniak (Gil)
SHE-DZG: Taylor (Attwell)
SAL-BIF: Makkelie (Blom)
BEN-PSV: del Cerro Grande (Hernández Hernández)
MAL-LUD: Orsato (Guida)
YB-FER: Ekberg (Dingert)
Leg 2:
PSV-BEN: Oliver (Kavanagh)

FER-YB: Siebert (Dankert)
SHK-MON: Vinčič (Irrati)
DZG-SHE: Haţegan (Sánchez)
BIF-SAL: Makkelie (Gözübüyük)
Makkelie for both legs involving SAL and BIF? 🤔 You think that Rosetti wanted to continue appointing primarily Dutchmen but now with Kuipers having retired has no other choice than to call Makkelie for both matches?

Thank you for the info .where did you find it at uefa site maybe ?
DeleteI start to understand postponing promotions/demotions for winter or next summer. With so many games it is sensible to have more time to test referees who are candidates for category change.
DeleteItalian new season with Rocchi head of refereeing has started last week with Coppa Italia games, today another round of the competition has started and we have already VAR from early stages, that's very good. It will work in serie B from this season as well. As I said in past, Italy had been among the first countries to introduce VAR, but the development was missing for years and years, using it only in serie A. From this season we will have a centralized VOR as well based in Northern Italy.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first intervention of the new season:
https://streamja.com/1OR33
Game Pordenone - Spezia, referee Ghersini VAR Aureliano.
The decisive replay is at the end of the video, clear touch from behind on the player, objective situation, correct to invite referee to OFR. We expect a consistent and logical use of the technology after some troubles last season and no clear guidelines...
Question : With which (FIFA) Dutch ref Van Rockel and Zeinstra will be ?
ReplyDeleteIn the Dutch league this week Zeinstra is with referee Kevin Blom at Go Ahead Eagels-Heerenveen, and Van Roekel is at Utrecht-Sparta with referee Martin van den Kerkhof, so i think after Kuipers they are now no longer part off a team wich referees always together
DeleteA very challenging start for Gil Manzano in Valencia - Getafe, first game of 2021-22 La Liga: OFR 3 minutes after the kick off for a SFP, absolutely correct to invite him to video, but I think he could have spotted it by himself. The perception of the foul live was already talking about excessive force in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteThen a few later penalty to Valencia: interesting situation, in my opinion VAR supported but it wasn't a 100% clear penalty, the expected contact, given the kind of action, was not immediately visible, but since there was another touch, the call was confirmed.
In my opinion Gil Manzano had whistled thinking about a different situation.

DeleteAgree with you Flip.
DeleteGil Manzano should have instantly issued a red card (after thirty seconds!) from the FoP, assessing excessive force in tackles is a skill quite lost nowadays (why decisions like Siebert's at EURO, Visser's last week are so refreshing).
A very close inspection of the replays at 8' show that the defender actually made a successful play on the ball - going on is clearly the better choice IMO for that reason and those you mentioned. Iglesias was correct not to intervene, by the same token.
IMO 1' is clearly correct, but I'm not convinced by 8'. The attacker falls mostly on his in accord when realizing that he is in a bad position; I prefer play-on here, but not enough for the VAR I think.
Delete8 is a clear simulation
DeleteWhat a disgrace in Germany! In 80th and 82nd minute 2 penalties haven't been whistled against Bayern. First one was so clear, second for me also penalty and RC for DOGSO, but Mr. Fritz and VAR remained silence.
ReplyDeleteGladbach-Bayern (1-1, 85‘) Referee Marco Fritz
ReplyDelete2 penalty incindents in 2 minutes not given as a foul and no VAR interventions have Gladbach fans fuming. Especially the first one looked like a clear foul to me. Seems like German VAR (here Christian Dingert) doesn‘t want to intervene as much anymore. There is and will be a big discussion however about this 2 play on calls IMO rightly so unfortunately. If someone can bring videos I would be very thankful :)
Well, it seems like unfortunately nothing has changed with VAR use in Germany. :/ I told that many times: Fröhlich and Drees should be sacked for how they manage VAR there.
DeleteRFS (LVA) - KAA Gent (BEL)
ReplyDeleteReferee: Rade Obrenovič (SVN)
Two interesting clips from yesterdays game in Riga.
IMO both situations are clear red cards for SFP, but Obrenovic gave only YC.
https://streamable.com/ghztjm (min 72)
https://streamable.com/654lpd (min 90+2)
Thank you. Indeed, two cases of SFP, red cards to be given.
DeleteAbsolutely agree, 2 RC missed.
DeleteThanks for your contribution! Very much appreciated.
DeleteAt moment, Obrenovič is followed closely by committee.
In my opinion first situation is clear RC but rather VAR stuff, it is difficult for referee to have the exact perception of the point of impact. Second situation even clearer RC and this should have been spotted by referee, given the very clear dangerous tackle and the free view. Maybe positioning didn't help. On paper two crucial mistakes, but to be added in the context of the difficulty.
I totally agree with you Chefren.
DeleteFirst situation is difficult for the Ref, maybe the 4th official should has helped, but of course it‘s a clear one.
And in the second situation as you wrote Obrenovic had a free view.
It‘s also interesting because Obrenovic is apparently one of the few from Cat.2 who is appointed for a Play-off game.
After this performance it’s a bit surprising to be honest.
Germany:
ReplyDeleteTwo very controversial penalty area incidents in the Bundesliga opener Borussia Mönchengladbach - Bayern München, handled by Marco Fritz [VAR: Christian Dingert].
1) no penalty, no VAR intervention
https://streamable.com/ap82c4
2) no penalty, no VAR intervention
https://streamable.com/raunwj
IMO two clear pens. Bad start of the season for Fritz.
DeleteIMO two penalties.
DeleteThe first scene is Off the ball, but the defender prevents the attacker from being in a better finishing position with a simple trip.
I find the second scene a bit trickier, because the falling seems a bit 'inappropriate' - but I still strongly prefere a spot kick here. The defender is in the worse position and stops the attacker illegally, as he hits him in the calf and the back of the knee. We definetly need to talk about SPA vs. DOGSO here as well.
Those scenes, however, show what we should be ready for in the next season regarding the VAR line: The EURO line with maximum reluctance..
Two penalties that should have been whistled, however I agree with VAR in the second incident, Fritz is close and makes a clear assessment, very difficult to intervene for changing decision, also for the reasons explained by Flip, it is tricky, I agree. However, expected decision penalty.
DeleteBut... first case, totally missed incident off the ball, noboy on the pitch saw it, this should have convinced VAR in inviting to OFR, contact is clear, defender impeded in his action to reach ball, very blatant. VAR should be used exactly for this kind of incidents. It would be interesting to know more, but I think that VAR didn't assess it as clear and obvious mistake because it wasn't a classic "step on foot"... however this can be largely discussed.
For me, the first PK is not that clear, but I see that the general consensus is clear PK, so I want to learn. Would it still be a clear PK without the pulling back? Because I think the trip is quite accidental, at that time the ball is also not played in yet.
Delete@David
DeleteI agree with you, for me the first situation is less problematic, although I agree that OFR is easier to call for that one because in the 2nd situation the referee sees everything and still makes a wrong decision.
Lutz Wagner, DFB referee instructor, assessed the incidents:
Delete1) Mistake by VAR Dingert, OFR would be the correct outcome; Fritz focused on the ball, missed incident
2) Correct decision by Dingert, no clear on-field error; contact(s) are not enough to whistle a penalty
Source: Sportschau
Sorry if I dare to say, but in my opinion it wasn't so difficult for Dingert to understand that it was a totally missed incident by all officials on the pitch. This was an expected assessment, the mistake is very significant.
DeleteI can agree about second situation.

ReplyDeleteIf you look at the current scenario with regards to the grants for small business expansion, the federal government actually offers no direct grants. There are however, some programs by the government, through which grants for research and development activities that a small business might carry out are provided by the SBA. Then there are indirect grants in the form of small business loan guarantees as well as subsidized loans, wherein you get loans at reduced rate of interest from the bank as the government pays some part of your loan. Or if you default on your loan payment, the government pays the bank on your behalf. As you can see, there are opportunities galore for small business funding and grants through Mr Pedro and his funding company. They offer a loan at 2% rate which is very affordable. As a start-up business owner you just have to make an effort to find the one that is most suitable for your business goals.
ReplyDeleteContact Mr Pedro on pedroloanss@gmail.com for loans.
All the best!
