  1. happy to see Lionel Tschudi back on international pitches after injury-break of more than two years.. I'm really interested in his developement, as he was maybe potential SUI No.2 before this long break...

    ReplyDelete
  2. 29yo Milanović with (surprisingly) very interesting Tobyl - Basel (3:1 for Kazakhs in the first leg).

    I would highlight the following ref-obs pairings:
    Bel - Ingvarsson, Leibovitz - Meßner, Sozza - Riley, Berke - Ružbarský, Tschudi - Mažić, Bîrsan - Çakır, Attwell - Strömbergsson, Lukjančukas - Fandel, Xhaja - Kassai, Schnyder - Filipović, Nuza - Nalbandyan

    1. I didn’t understand Attwell management, he’s already 41 yo this year, will he have enough time to become elite?

      Delete
    2. Quite particular case. He was FIFA-listed for four years before his domestic demotion in 2012. Then, he was re-promoted to Select Group in 2016 and re-entered the FIFA list two years later. During his first FIFA period, UEFA really liked him and he was on the right track to fight for Elite Category. As there are no age limits in Premier League, one can indeed wonder whether a fast track promotion is possible for him. However, he hasn't made it to the First Category for five years now, so...

  3. Milanovic is on fire! I told you.

    1. However, he has been appointed to this game already before the first leg, when everybody expected a totally different result there.

  4. Uefa super cup referee??

  5. Artur Manuel Ribeiro Soares Dias is my idea

    1. Strange that exactly Schaerer in that fourth official role has been replaced, still not available? I think his situation is particular after the injury he suffered...

      Delete
    2. what I heard is that Schaerer will get a game in Switzerland‘s league and is in for the playoffs then.

      Delete
  8. A yellow card after 6 minutes from kralovic, frankly with VAR it's a red card

    ReplyDelete
  9. Tschudi off injured at Sofia. Fahndrich replaces him (indeed second time recent times this happens for Fahndrich )

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. No, please no… Tschudi is such a talented referee and got quite a nice appointment after long injury. Reading now that he is off is such a pity. Tschudi definetly was the second Swiss man after Schärer who could go further in UEFA

  10. Beitar Jerusalem FC (ISR) - PAOK (GRE)
    Referee: Benoît Millot (FRA)
    Assistant Referee 1: Hicham Zakrani (FRA)
    Assistant Referee 2: Julien Aube (FRA)

    AR just blew an offside call that chalked off the game tying goal. Shocking decision. With VAR, there is no question the goal stands.

  11. Penalty and RC for DOGSO by Nathan Verboomen against the home team followed by a conflict between players solved with the classic 1yc/1yc

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. And actually, the RC is wrong I reckon, because the defender has the intention to play the ball.

      Delete
  12. I very much like Kevin Clancy's style and his impressive use of advantage. Two controversial incidents so far, though. Possible 2YC to 22ORD for charging with arm/elbow against head in 23' and possible penalty to Legia for kicking in 38'.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. In 48' extremely harsh if not phantom defensive free kick to Legia preventing Ordabasy's goal. In 76', only a YC issued to 8ORD for deliberate studs kick from behind, should've been a RC for violent conduct. In 79', borderline reckless-SFP tackle by 99LEG, YC issued. In 90+3', missed at least 2nd YC to 19ORD for kicking an opponent in the chest.

      Too many wrong/debatable key match incidents to call this performance good, unfortunately. However, I am rarely so much impressed by referee's style like today. Cool head, clear message, nice warnings, keeping good rapport with well-known troublemaker (Josué from Legia), plenty of great advantages! A pity that decisions making was not so good, although beside the key match incidents there was not much wrong to be fair. Strange...

  13. What happened in Drita - Viktoria Plzeň (Sundberg) to have 25 minutes already of added time?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Issues with the floodlight on the stadium

      Delete
    2. Sundberg managed extremely well! very difficult game - strong penalty decision in last minut of extra time.

      Delete
    3. Arm is clearly in an unnatural position. Mandatory penalty. Well-spotted.

      Delete
  14. Clear wrong penalty by Austrian Ciochirca in Haverfordwest-Tórshavn in Min.99. for a incorrect handball.

    Replies
    1. Indeed. Sorry for Ciochirca but IMO unpunishable handball by all means.

      Delete
    2. Ohh this is terrible and a complete guess. It may explain why he has not so many good matches since u17 final. It is a shame such a big decision cost the small team a place in the next round. I didn’t think UEFA will like this decision as it is very, very bad. It is even more strange that no red card was shown. 2 wrong situations in the same incident is incredible to understand.

    3. Where is the Red Card. Clear error that had a major impact on the outcome of the game

    4. ciochirca did not give a red card despite giving handball on goal line for a shot at goal. This situation is clearly not handball but because penalty was whistled, he only give a yellow card. 2 very bad mistakes in same situation. 2 key match incidents, 7.4 in 1 incident.

  15. Excellent RC for SFP by Schröder in Debrecen vs Alashkert, he was very close.
