  1. The return of Svein Oddvar Moen, once a referee at the Euro in 2016, now at the very lowest level of UEFA refereeing!

    What a fall.

    1. how long did his break last?

      Delete
  2. Once, he refereed Bayern-Arsenal, Barcelona-PSG, Real Madrid-Galatasaray. CL quarterfinal, EL semi final…

    He was Collina’s favorite referee…

    And then something happened. Yes, he maybe made mistakes, but such a dramatic fall to Paide Linnameeskond vs Dinamo Tbilisi is beyond unimaginable.

    Hats of to him for having found new motivation and not given up, which I assume many would have done.

    Is there any chance that he can come back at a reasonable level, maybe some big games in UECL?

    1. I think his performance has smaller role than the policies of Mr. Rosetti and the Norwegian federation themselves whether will choose to push Espen Eskas or give Svein Oddvar Moen another chance to return on high level, he's still 43.

      Delete
    2. what do you mean by Rosetti's policy here?

      Delete
  3. Peter Bankes has a CL1Q2L tie that's why he has been replaced with Tom Brammall. Weird to think of Stuart has to be replaced in the middle of the match (hope not obviously) he could make his uefa debut before he makes his top flight debut. Has there been any instances of this happening in the past.

  4. Napoli-Dnipro, big mistake!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Greek referees are in free fall...
    Of course, when the people in charge of the Greek arbitration are non-existent, what are they to do...

    ReplyDelete
  6. Have they replaced Clattenburg yet or is he combining Greece with Egypt

    1. According to HFF, the proposed substitute is another Englishman, Steve Bennett.

      Delete
    2. Steve Bennett would be an excellent choice! He did a fantastic job in United Arab Emirates, developing and raising the level of domestic refereeing instead of blindly appointing foreign referees. The question is whether in Greece such approach would be possible as the biggest clubs simply reject Greek referees, as far as I know.

  7. What a game for Jaanovits! 2nd YC, to pks so far.

  8. How is Darren England doing on his uefa debut plenty of yellows so far.

  9. Any info about "2nd life" of Svein Oddvar Moen?

    1. I mean what about his performance and (I think) his observer is an important one, what do you think about it?

      Delete
  10. Full match https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPYriumQ_84 Key moments: 1.24.20 Possible Dogso 2.28.35 Penalty given.

    1. This is Moen Paide - Dinamo Tbilisi

      Delete
    2. Both incidents seems clear, Moen's position close to both incidents (very good) and he had clear gesture too.

      Delete
    3. Excellent performance by a referee who should be in Dortmund, Barcelona, Juventus, not Paide.

      Clearly a step ahead of other 2nd category referees.

      He has paid the mistake in Finland-Iceland more than any referee has ever paid a mistake.

      A series of very bad decisions precipitated after this: The double demotion from UEFA, and the replacement of his AR2 Andås (who had made way fewer mistakes than his AR1 Haglund), which also led to the massive internal brawl in the Norwegian referee community, that still has not recovered.

      Delete
    4. May anyone explain just the points why Svein Oddvar Moen was relegated from his elite status (and is it the first time an elite referee was relegated and then returned?)

      Delete
    5. - Napoli-Dinamo Kiev, EL semifinal 2016, clear offside not seen by his AR1.

      - Slovakia-Wales, EURO 2016, clear violent conduct (+penalty) right in front of his AAR1.

      - Iceland-Wales, november 2016, decisive goal for Iceland should have been disallowed; Finnish defender pulls Moen by the
      Shirt and gives only yellow. That mistake angered UEFA a lot.

      -January 2017: Demotion to category 1. AR2 is replaced despite not being at error, AAR1 retires, AAR2 has a big conflict with the federation that started with the management of Moen’s team.

      After this: UEFA very skeptical to Norwegian federation and Moen, does not give him any chance to return. Massive internal turmoil.

      2019: UEFA has clearly lost all trust, another relegation to Cat 2.

      2020: Moen gets a severe injury, everyone believes this now is the ene.

      2022: Moen is back, seemingly highly motivated, performs very good nationally - same with Tore Hansen (demoted from Cat 2 to 3 in 2020).

      Delete
    6. if I'm not mistaken aren't most of the faults not caused by Svein Oddvar Moen? I didn't follow Moen in his heyday, I was quite interested in the cases of the downfall of elite referees including Moen and Pavel Kralovec, Fahad Al Mirdasi from the AFC (both of whom were involved in bribery cases with no clear evidence) and Willie Collum maybe
