The management of referees from Ukraine is sensible these days, but from what I can see they receive quite regularly international games. The situation is a little bit different in the European games. There were no referees at all from Ukrayine in the KO stage. And in the group stage, they had about 1 crew in every matchday. It's not a little(there are countries in Europe that get even less) but not a lot either.

About Grinfeld, I didn't see much progress from him in the recent times. I think that even his spot for EURO 24 is in danger. And by the way, regarding Euro24, I can't wait to see Rosetti's decision about France Nr.2. Will it be Letexier (meriotcracy) or Frappart (politics)? Because if he'll choose politics and let Letexier home, then I'm sorry but the only word that comes to my mind to describe him is cynical.

I expected Gil Manzano to follow Turpin’s path; mainly high paced games, easier to manage, focused on playing football, particularly English / German teams;
And Sanchez to be used as a Bastien; the more heated or ugly games, being a firefighter.
However, after a full Italian derby and now a Balkanic game, this isn’t the case and I’m glad to see that.
Spanish referees are often appointed in Eastern Europe tbf.

OT: Looking for some help from our readers regarding an old tournament, namely EURO 1984. Trying to compile the full appointments for this competition has been quite tricky, as unlike FIFA, UEFA did not keep a close record of who was reserve referee for the fifteen matches. Below is what I've got so far, and am only missing a couple of officials who haven't been identified. The caveat is that while UEFA were happy for local refs to be the 'fourth officials' for the non-France games, a neutral reserve referee would be on the boards for the games of 'Les Blues'. This was the same in EURO 1988, where Michał Listkiewicz was fourth man for the four West Germany matches. My strong feeling was that, following the '1988 principle' an official from Luxembourg would play the 'Listkiewicz' role in 1984 - a politically relevant country, who hadn't qualified, and didn't have a main refs trio at the finals. However, the men in question were not Norbert Rolles or Paul Rion, who it seems were the two Luxembourgeoise FIFA officials operating at the time. In a comment below is the full appmnts so far with the 'templates' for the two thus-unidentified officials, and then the footage of them working on the games below this. Appreciate that this is ultra-niche, but would extremely grateful for any help on this! (BR Referee?).

With Jesus Gil Manzano will observed by Trefoloni, isn’t indicating something bigger would prepared for him next season or it’s just normal assignment? Because UNL and UEFA Super Cup are impossible, maybe for UEL final or FIFA Club World Cup?

These seem the only names who will 100% be at Euro 2024. I’m sure Sanchez Martinez will be and likely Nyberg. Italian and Germany likely too

Who knows or get info who will be the ref for Indonesia-Argentina, no VAR and will be played in full house? Because Indonesia-Palestina was lead by mediocre Malaysian referee, Australia-Argentina was lead by Ma Ning as host representative. Now Indonesia-Argentina, the ideal referee will be coming from Japan or South Korea, but if geography factor include on calculation, I think the ideal were going to Sivakorn Pu-Udom or Moh. Taqi Al Jaafari bin Jahari. The last time unbalance game happened in Indonesia was Indonesia-Netherlands lead by Nagor Amir Mohamed from Malaysia, another mediocre. I hope this time will be different given the context it is Argentina, world champion.

2 yellow cards in Oslo for Jug. 1st one seemed quite harsh.

2nd one was a potential DOGSO. Distance from goal saving the Scottish defender

55’ Potential penalty for Norway, Jug rejected, I think he could give the penalty but it would be soft (still supportable), so more correct for him to reject penalty appeal from Norwegian side.

Looking at reports, was it not advisable to have an elite referee in charge of match in Norway. Such an important match for the home team and battle for qualification. Having watched the match I feel that the penalty was very soft as his line of foul detection was pretty low so I am surprised it was given. I think the performance has been below average.

Given the context incident in 55’ and 61’, indeed his consistency of foul detection was questionable, but IMO it’s not very soft penalty, it was silly action by defender, the action from defender was put his fate on referee’s whistle. So when the referee blew the whistle, it’s supportable, you can’t blame the referee. You can “blame” for his inconsistency and I agree with you his foul line is too low.

To be fair I expected an Elite referee in Norway vs Scotland. Tight game on beforehand and very important for qualification.
If the Refcom watched the R16 game AZ-Lazio (return), they knew it wasn’t a good idea to assign Jug. Indeed messy, foul detection and card management all over the place, leaving 22 players confused.

Having a look at Jug penalty, I think we must say that it can be whistled, but watching closer replay, it appears more simulation than a real foul. Attacker uses the opportunity to get a whistle by referee.
Also, in my opinion in such incidents, off the ball action by defenders on attackers in penalty area, it is always difficult to have the exact perception, quite sure Jug whistled thinking about something more. VAR can't intervene, but the call definitely looks as soft, close to wronr (my opinion of course).

Gil Manzano the standout best performer on the pitch in the very dire Montenegro v Hungary game. Not the hardest game he will ever get but games like that are the easiest to lose focus in. Lovely manner with the players, lots of smiles between them & they clearly respected him. Fitness excellent, decisions fair and consistent. No controversies, nothing of note at all. He and his team can go home happy with their contribution to the game.

Having watched the match i believe the biggest problem with Jug was the foul detection, he allowed so much to go in certain situations, the penalty goes against his approach for the match. Personally I think the penalty is acceptable but allowing this with the context of the match I believe it to be incorrect. I have no idea why an elite referee was not used in this match. Overall a performance lacking consistency but no crucial mistakes.

Levante vs Alaves: Bad penalty call that completely decided the outcome. Pro refs still get handball calls wrong when it's very simple. Why are they punishing natural position? When a player is jumping the arm will swing. They aren't penguins.
