  1. Big focus on Kjærsgaard, Delajod, Pignard, Schnyder and Nalbandyan. And also Nobre the past months.

    Btw, big compliment to admins for updating this wonderful blog since 2017. Wonderful job.

    1. Thank you and I fully agree with you.
      Focus on French referees, with important observers, but absolutely correct remark with the Armenian as well. It should be the frist time for an Armenian referee to get a "particular" observer, we know that Plautz has important reputation.
      Armenia is the missing country in the new "trend" by Rosetti, this seems to be the early step for a possible development of Armenian officials.

      Delete
    2. Is the referee Henrik Nalbandyan family of the UEFA referee observer Karen Nalbandyan?

      Delete
    3. It seems like Nalbandyan and Ciochirca had a great perfomance in the U17 EC in front of UEFA members - both observers with huge reputation.

      Delete
  2. Munro (SCO) with Antonov and Sjöberg (SWE) with Kapitanís are also worth mentioning.

  3. @Lady.ref

    I saw you mistook me for Quilava under the CL post but I still want to answer your question about the Polish officials appointed to 2QR.

    Stefański - 45yo; very experienced; elegant but uncommunicative, isolated person on the field of play; in Poland players don't like him

    Jakubik - 38yo; as Stefański, uncommunicative and isolated person on the field of play; often with an arrogant attitude; in Poland players don't like him

    Musiał - 41yo; very friendly and nice person, loved by players in Poland; for many years his level of refereeing was not high - many missed and/or underpunished fouls was his weakest point, his career has been also strongly damaged in 2017 by allowing a goal scored by hand in a game that decided about relegation (the team that lost were relegated) - but he was very good last season and it looks like Mikulski believes in him more than Przesmycki; surprisingly, it's already third appointment for Musiał in June/July

    Sylwestrzak - 30yo; young, promising referee who made the best impression between the three newcomers (him, Kos and Kuźma) after Myć (former body-builder) was destroyed by Przesmycki who tried to advance him from fourth to top tier in one year (sic!); Sylwestrzak was quickly proposed for the FIFA list but he still has to learn and polish his talent to be more consistent in decision making but I get the impression he is very professional in what he is doing and he can surely reach the first category in the future; as for elite category, I don't think he is enough charismatic

    1. Yes, that was a bit stupid. I guess I'm already used that you are posting preliminary and 1st round appointments, saw a few Polish names that are new to me and didn't look further. @Quilava, no offense, keep going. Your posts are awesome as well :)

      Thanks for your detailed post ESF. Let's see what they bring to the table. Interesting to follow!

    2. Wojciech Myć, the Polish Vicandi Garrido.

      Promoted very fast because the federation was impressed by his arms and the fact that his day job is as the Polish president’s bodyguard (Secret Service)

  6. 3 referee teams of MLT and 2 referee teams of FRO, very great improvement of small Ref federations. All small federations make a match?

    1. I think Andirra and San Marino without appointments

    2. Yes, but they don’t have an important observer. If you compare that to the two French refs, who both have a remarkable observer… Rosetti keeps the smaller federations ‘happy’, however no fair chances for everyone.

  7. Bebek and Eskas,only category 1 refs that were given matches in this competition.

    I think that says enough about their ranking and position.

    1. No, you have to look at it from the other angle.. this could mean Eskas' chance after his solid performance in Tbilisi and it proves indeed that Bebek is "over" but he is still a referee with a lot of experience and arguably he has same fate as Aleksander Stavrev, the 1st category referee with rich experience that is only used when UEFA needs it and no more than that.

  10. OT: Some YC vs RC clips from Egyptian Premier League game Pyramids - Al Ahly, handled by Carlos del Cerro Grande (VAR Juan Martínez Munuera). All incidents resulted in a YC, with VAR supporting all of them.

    44' (SPA vs DOGSO, attacker tripped while the ball is in the air and unclear if GK could reach it first, Rosetti gave a straight RC in his U20 World Cup final for something *less* clear than this)

    69' (reckless vs SFP) https://streamable.com/ze076w

    76' (reckless vs SFP) https://streamable.com/0a8thg

    1. 44' To me, the player would have hardly reached the ball, I'm quite sure he wouldn't to be honest, I see this not more than YC, and one could already discuss, but OK, expected decision. I don't remember the decision by Rosetti in his U20 final game, but if similar to me a clear mistake.

      About the two possible red cards, second incident, 76', clearly more RC than the previous and I would like to see RC as expected decision: excessive force + legs as pliers. Extremely dangerous. But still, maybe 5% for a NO VAR intervention, I think BTW you make a mistake by giving only YC. Also, not the best reaction by Del Cerro, maybe he didn't perceive exactly the challenge, looking with a too relaxed approach after such foul for my taste.

    2. I think that all decisions are in line with current trends in refereeing. However, to show cards for such tackles like they were given for removing a shirt at goal celebration...

      Delete
    3. IMO all 3 decisions were correct. 44' no DOGSO as the attacker had no chance to get the ball before the goalkeeper. Correct YC in 69' and 76' for reckless. 76' - offender's speed is high and legs stretched out, but the contact is (luckily) ow intensity

    1. Thanks! Well I must say that I see some potential in this referee, I can mention two key situations, how he solved the conflict even with physical presence (very strong action, I really liked it) and the acceptance - connection with players after having been hit by ball, stopping a shot on goal. To me, two very good moments (the second one only after the main fact, of course). Then we can talk about several missed cards, and you are right, however some of them are the typical incidents that you can easily miss from the pitch, indeed if you watch the live without replay, you don't understand before what had exactly happened, and this very likely was very often the same for referee. To add to this argument, for sure a certain lenient approach in other situations, but we know that nowadays seems to be less important than past to highlight it. The incident off the ball that we can assess as deliberate violent conduct was VAR stuff.
      Also, I really liked the offside flag in 88', attacker jumped trying to play ball and he involved opponent in that way, jumping together, very good decision.

    2. Thanks for this reply, Chefren! I fully agree with you about Hamiti's presence. I would even say that his soft skills are of an elite referee. One has to highlight his very active positioning and very good fitness, too. What I didn't like was lack of reaction against two late, cynical challenges in 90' and 90+2' - lack of alertness?

      Delete
    3. @Euro Soccer Ref thanks a lot for the good work. With those clips we can see even other referees apart from Elite one. About the match yes it's true maybe are 2 or 3 yc non given but watching the statistics on uefa.com where only 13 fouls in whole match and maybe this is the reason the Referee chose to non sanctioned some of them after advantage was firstly allowed. In generally very good positioning, fitness and body language. As Chefren mentioned the offside flag at 88' was good decision by AR1 i also wanted to highlight 2 very good onside calls at second and third goal.
