Daniel Siebert only in VAR
ReplyDeleteWow!
He was also in Germany just VAR. Seems like he is injured
DeleteLots of Polish referees in VAR. Europa League and Conference League
ReplyDeleteBad sign for Siebert, Not even in UEL or UECL with a game.
ReplyDeleteGiven that appointments for MD3 and 4 have been made together, Siebert should indeed be on MD4 as main referee, but you can clearly say that committee has no hurry in appointing him...
DeleteHis last game was on 7 October, which means he didn’t referee last weekend as well. It could be a (light) injury or other issues. Wasn’t Siebert replaced by the 4O during a game during last season?
DeleteIn general, when a referee is in a weaker period, we can always consider injury or personal issues (lack of confidence). It’s not always the decision by committee. Take Makkelie as example - he obviously had a weaker period after the World Cup. His shape/fitness wasn’t good, gained weight, reduced running on the pitch, never in a full sprints, looked isolated (no confidence at all), was probably replaced in QF by Letexier and whistled some games in 2nd league instead, on lower intensity. That was quite obvious. Fortunately, looking much better now. Not in 2020-2022 form yet, but definitely improving compared to before summer.
Body language and fitness can tell a lot. Maybe our German friends can tell us more about Siebert’s form in domestic league?
No Siebert last Game was in France, where he replaced Stieler.
DeleteYes, of course. Hopefully Siebert on his way back. I think, the body language of a referee can tell us a lot about their form, both physically and mentally.
DeleteSiebert was pushed too much, definitely. The Atletico game needed a more experienced head, that’s for sure.
If Turpin was often ‘blamed’ for getting the easy games, football-focused, etc. Well, at least they gave him time to develop to a save pair of hands. Letexier also has a good development now, and a good appointment strategy (and strong diplomatic support) are obviously part of the success. He gets time to develop in Turpin’s shadow. A very different treatment compared to Siebert and Nyberg(!) if you ask me. Although the latter was good so far, I don’t like the strategy at all.
Perhaps, the French FA are (pro-)actively involved in the appointments their referees get as well…(?). Their referees are obviously not pushed in a way like eg. Siebert.
Makkelie gained weight? Cmon no need to exaggerate things dude.
DeleteSo Anonymous we can not comment on referees fitness and figure / Does that not go together to make an excellent referee.
DeleteOr is because It’s Mr Makkelie .
Hategan is back 👍🏻👍🏻
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to Hategan in UEFA Competitions, clearly the news of the day. Indeed we were talking about him just a few ago, it was expected to see him again. Now it will be interesting to see how long it will take to return at the top level of an Elite referee, but surely a secondary thing, most important fact is that he is back again and if we go back with memory at the terrible moment, well, that's a big success in his life. I think he is absolutely aware of that.
ReplyDeleteSome astonishing appointments, for my taste: I rather expected Harm Osmers to advance to the Champions League than to get a match between the 3rd placed team and the 4th placed team in the Conference League. Can we draw the conclusion that DFB/UEFA are not sure whether he or another compatriot (Sven Jablonski?) should be the next German to be promoted?
ReplyDeleteThat's was also my feeling Peter; I was expecting a more brilliant short term future for Osmer. Nethertheless Welcome back to Hategan !!!! as Chefren said a big success for his life. Probably he will not have time to reach top level before the selection of the team for Euro24 but he can be a reliable VAR during the competition
DeleteHungary has 2 Cat1 referee Bognar and Berke. Berke appointed in MD1 in ECL and thats all after that. No EQ matches for anyone. No european games for Hungarians. Absolutely unfair. Italy everywhere. Well done Roberto!
ReplyDeleteWhy mentioning exactly Italy in this regard?
DeleteThere are many referees from many countries appointed, but you are sure that Italian referees are taking the place of Hungarians...
I mean exactly Pairetto’s appointment. But in previous round i can talk about Chiffi or Sozza. All of them Cat 2 referees…
DeleteI think some of readers wondering, because we all know who is Pairetto and Chefren and the others mentioned many times how “bad” is he and then why u can’t appoint referee younger and realistically can get more match than Pairetto? As simply as why must he?
DeleteFor me it’s not about Italy, but why Pairetto must get another chance?
DeleteI agree about Pairetto, absolutely undeserved appointment based on his career, he is doing quite well at moment, but of course if you wait so long time, supporting always a referee, you can have this for all. I would have appointed another referee and not him, but what I want to say is that there are also referees from other countries, so it is not strctly Pairetto or an Italian referee to stop the Hungarian assignments...
DeleteAbout Pairetto, unknown whether he will leave the list or not, while for Fabbri it seems quite sure.
I think one really should stop anonymous comments: From my (Austrian) point of view, I could also argue that I missed Cat 1 referee Julian Weinberger on MD 1 and 2 whereas we saw Cat 2 referee Christian-Petru Ciochirca. We usually do not know the reasons for such (non-)assignments. Maybe the last performances were below average. But this one-sided bashing against Roberto Rosetti, his alleged favoritism towards Italian referees as well as his alleged discrimination against Turkish referees really annoys me. When I (as an Austrian) consider that Aliyar Aghayev made his Champions League debut last season I could also demand Harald Lechner to be treated equally. Or I could request Sebastian Gishamer to be appointed in the Champions League like Morten Krogh makes his debut there after just one Europa League appearance so far. And so on ...
DeleteThere is obviously a lot favoritism within UEFA (no surprise), and mostly, with regard to Italians, Slovenia, Spain and French for my taste.
DeleteItalians had the most UCL games in MD1-2. In MD3, again two Italians and Orsato to follow in MD4. Personally, I’m not sold on Massa and Guida. They don’t get any top games, so Refcom does not consider these referees as top. But still they get their appointments. And even a weaker impression (Massa or Sanchez - play-off) doesn’t have any consequences. IMHO this would be different for referees from smaller nations?
French referees already got 3 assignments in UCL MD3. In our honest opinions, does it have any consequences for Turpin or Letexier if they have a weaker game (not in control), or make a bad decision? I don’t think so. IMO the treatment of eg. German, English and Dutch referees is very different from that regard. For example
The Netherlands, Björn Kuipers is part of the Refcom, but I am sure that a weaker game by a Dutch referee (no matter which one) will have consequences for the next appointment. In my opinion, merit is more in consideration for referees from these countries, compared to the Spanish, Italians and Vincic. But that’s my view. Feel free to disagree.
The big countries obviously gets treated differently, all the new FIFA referees get's the chance directly to referee in the main competitions while the others has to work for many years to get here. While it is obviously fair that it would be easier for them considering they have to work harder to actually get their badges, it's still a bit unfair that UEFA thinks they're instantly ready to referee the big games
DeleteI agree many anonymous made a trash talk, but also many anonymous made this blog different, personally I want to use my google acc, but could anyone help me how I can login in this blog (to write) in IOS, I can’t login in my IOS device.

Anyone to explain to me why Jarred Giovan Gillent named as AUS in Uefa while he is registered as ENG Fifa referee?
ReplyDeleteBecause UEFA lists the officials mostly by nationality.
DeleteThen, there are cases in which a referee with a certain origin, officiates in another country.
Thank you Chefren
DeleteHere the VAR audio from Genoa - Milan and the possible handball when Milan scored, it was asked on the blog a few days ago.
ReplyDeletehttps://streamff.co/v/ABSLsItAG4
As it was already clear, after a very detailed analysis from all cameras, VAR couldn't find evidence of a punishable touch, he assessed that player touched the ball with the legal part of arm, close to shoulder. He couldn't add more than that. It seems committee agreed.
Must say I agree with the ball touching the legal part of the arm.
DeleteHategan in Zurich could as well have an incognito observer. Maybe even a Com member (Kuipers I think is duty free this matchday) if UEFA want to monitor closely his performance in this game.
ReplyDeleteRobert Jones with his debut is now the conference league is now the 3rd English referee to make his conference league debut in 2 seasons.
ReplyDeleteMadley 1 appointment
England 1 appointment
Jones 1 appointment
Brooks and Gillett still waiting for appointment
Do you think any can get to elite?
The best chance imo is Brooks/madley
FC Sheriff Tiraspol (MDA) - Servette FC (SUI) | Group G
DeleteReferee: John Brooks ENG
I completely missed it 😅
DeleteMadley is 40 Ish
DeleteProblems in Lille, ass 2, var check ,
ReplyDeleteCancel goal, but var gave goal. Problems in Marseille 1-0 var check, foul yes or no?? Push yes or not.
Supportable no 2nd YC for Brugge players from Hategan, more theatrical action from Lugano players.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunate situation for Fernandez in Fenerbahce. Got in the way and was run down by a defensive Ludogorets player in the build up to the 1-0 goal for Fenerbahce. Bad positioning.
ReplyDeletehttps://streamff.co/v/2mGu118JWH
DeleteIMO missed SYC against Brugge by Hategan in LUG-BRU.
ReplyDeleteCorrectly rejected OFR by Pairetto for penalty in favour of Lille. Player clearly get's the ball, I don't know what Fabbri was thinking recommending that review.
ReplyDeleteAlso a very good RC for VC just after Lille's goal, Slovan #36 with a clear kick-out
Quite challenging game for Hategan in Zurich, even with 1 OFR, I think his performance still decent. For sure he can get UEL game in next fixtures.
ReplyDeleteOFR Hategan. He gave penalty but good var, it was no penalty,
ReplyDeleteI think 3-1 it is a offside? Fenerbahce goal? If the player was offside than of course offside. We don’t see lines OFR ?
ReplyDeleteLille good red card
ReplyDeleteFiorentina - Čukarički: Cypriot referee was mobbed by Serbian players, who surrounded him after Fiorentina 1-0, they were protesting for a possible foul, VAR confirmed the goal. Definitely not a nice scene to be watched. Mandatory cards issued by referee, very nervous players (without reason).
ReplyDeleteMinimum you need 2 yellow cards!!!
DeleteOFR for Kopiyevsʹkyy in Frankfurt, handball, correct, very difficult to see.
ReplyDeleteBig problems for Dutch ref Lindhoutt. He looks very nervous. Players management not his skills
ReplyDeleteWatching the match and I have no idea what you are talking about. The match is very easy so far. One correct yellow and no issues so far
DeleteHere the RC by Pairetto.
ReplyDeletehttps://streamff.co/v/dhVb-4RNwP
OFR 38 min Fiorentina , good call VAR for red card
ReplyDeletePerfect by Pairetto...

ReplyDeleteMajor mistake at Aberdeen missed penalty for home side shambles by VAR
ReplyDeleteNot a clear error. Puts his leg across and aberdeen player kicks the PAOK player
DeleteSo Aberdeen penalty claim is nothing but now PAOK get pen thats not for me
DeleteOFR , referee Andrei Florin Chivulete, goal check , ass 1, HŠK Zrinjski Mostar-Legia
ReplyDelete65 min good penalty Robert Jones, Dinamo - Plzen
ReplyDeletePAOK manager booked. Probably should've been earlier. Aberdeen manager also could've been booked earlier too
ReplyDeleteVAR will be removed from football so enough it is ruining the game. If its not equal and fair for all why are we using it
ReplyDeleteNo one knows whats going on in the stadium such poor communication regarding decisions and it takes far too long.
ReplyDeleteComplete waste of time money
This isnt football anymore. I supported VAR at the startbut it has now run its course
Disgraceful scenes in pittodrie by
ReplyDeleteThe officials, Aberdeen have every right to make an official complaint to uefa, I’m a neutral and I have nothing against Sebastian Gishamers var team but surely that penalty had to be given to Aberdeen.
Potential penalty to Aberdeen : not a clear error and I would verge towards no penalty as the Aberdeen player looks to kick into the PAOK player.
ReplyDeletePenalty to PAOK after OFR : Clear standing on foot, correct intervention
As much as I want Scottish teams to do well, the decisions tonight were fairly run of the mill decisions. Not hugely controversial.
Excuse me? I’m struggling to interpret how you don’t deem that as a penalty, anywhere outside the box it’s a free kick, it’s a crucial mistake for me.
DeleteYou're excused. Perhaps read through the comment again as I've stated quite plainly why I don't think it's a penalty
DeleteDisgraceful that you say that isn’t a penalty, you won’t see a clearer one.
DeleteHaving an opinion isn't disgraceful. Perhaps think before you throw a tantrum on a n online forum
DeleteGood Osmers, good jablonski, good jones, poor Chivulete, poor Pairetto, poor Lindhoutt
ReplyDeleteJablonski made a very good impression.
DeleteFor me: Willy Delajod and Jablonski the best „newcomer/new generation“
It could be true. But how did you watch 6 games at the same time? I've never understood how people can make such summaries of referees performances.
Delete+1, matei14
DeleteIn order to have a good assessment, you have to watch the full game.
Jablonski clear yellow red card not given
DeleteFor me Frid can also join the list of a good referees which might have good future
DeleteIt's was not a yellow/red card.
Delete96min missed penalty Sebastian Gishamer , OFR, good VAR. Aberdeen - PAOK
ReplyDeleteApparently Aberdeen penalty not even checked by VAR, which could explain the lack of time spent, this combined with the non RC v Helsinki in last game, very poor crucial decisions missed in terms of home team. The referee in this competition very poor in my opinion. VAR in its current operation not something that brings anything to the sport. From a German fan. I feel very sorry for Scottish team
ReplyDeleteIt was checked by VAR. Everything is checked by VAR. The refeee delayed the game for 5/10 seconds then played on as it was cleared
DeleteApparently from the media room it is being communicated that it wasn’t checked
DeleteIt didn't go to an official check. But it was looked at it, as is everything. The referee delayed the taking of the goal kick, that was the incident being checked. It was dismissed quickly and played resumed
DeleteGishamer is apparently furious, he knows this will lead to a severe mark down, he kicked the officials door down in anger. He knows the penalty should have been given to Aberdeen and at a crucial moment in the game.
DeleteFrom every single angle it gets clearer and clearer that Aberdeen have been done by UEFA for the second game running.
ReplyDeleteFirst the no red card for the Helsinki player and now this absolute shambles.
Understand Aberdeen will be putting in a formal complaint to UEFA regarding tonights events and will be asking for the VAR audio
I cannot follow what happened: At 23:10 Anonymous wrote that the referee missed a penalty but was saved by a "good" VAR intervention. Now it seems that this final decision might have been wrong.
ReplyDeleteThe decision to award PAOK a penalty was clearly correct, the discussion is about a situation in the 77th minute. I think a VAR intervention would've been preferable in that case as well
DeleteOh, thank you.

ReplyDeleteAberdeen managers comments above
Gishamer has kicked the officials dressing room door on way in
What we think about this tackle, leading to injury and substitution of the Tranava player?
ReplyDeletehttps://files.fm/u/hc9n862umd
Good spot by the referee, in my opinion. Could be easily fooled to say the red player just played the ball. Obviously nothing more than a yellow card. Injury seems to be caused by an arkward contact
DeleteNothing more than YC.
Deletearrogant style as referee Lindhout
DeleteDaniel Siebert, Daniel Stefanski and Sebastian Gishamer putting in 3 shocking performances in Aberdeen home games this season, what’s the point in football sometimes with such poor decision making
ReplyDeletePAI from Aberdeen - PAOK min 78‘
ReplyDeletehttps://streamable.com/o80xsg
From my point of view a clear kick by defender. Attacker just tries to reach the ball and does not try to win the penalty. I don’t see any argument to not award the penalty hence a missed mandatory intervention in my book.
DeleteDefender puts the leg ahead of attacker and doesn't hit him directly at first glance, then attacker continues his run and there is the impact, and the intensity is not clear.
DeleteCan be a penalty for tripping for sure if given by referee on the pitch, absolutely correct by VAR to stay silent because no evidence of a very clear foul and some people can disagree.
I agree with Chefren, supportable each way. Not for VAR. Some contact, but the defender is also in his right to place his leg where he does, in order to get the ball. Notice the way the attacker falls with arms above his head. He was also attempting to get a penalty. No clear evidence for a refutable foul, so I do not feel that Aberdeen was robbed here.
DeleteHaha unbelievable, it’s a penalty every day of the week. VAR is responsible for a very poor error here, you can’t get involved in one penalty and not the other
DeleteTo answer anonymous 12:08, why can't VAR get involved in one and not the other considering they're completely different situations?
DeleteI think VAR made a mistake in the first one, to me it's a normal running motion from the Aberdeen attacker who runs into the path of the PAOK player's leg planted there just before and with no time to react for the attacker. Getting to another conclusion is just overanalyzing in my opinion
Clear penalty. The defender is not interested on playing the ball (clearly visible on the 1st replay) and wants to trip his opponent. No excuse to VAR for staying silent.
DeleteGiven the amount of words to describe why it’s not a penalty and why it’s not an intervention. Does the defender play the ball.. no, does he impede the attacker yes. Double standards by cheferen when u can agree a penalty at Celtic
DeleteI think we should await the appointments for MD 5/6 which may indicate how UEFA evaluates the decisions. Someone wrote that Aberdeen suffered from a crucial mistake made by Daniel Stefanski who however was assigned again, even in the Europa League, after the incident in question.
DeleteI would be furious if I was an Aberdeen fan, to not give such a blatant penalty for a kick on the Aberdeen player is unbelievable, a 10 second check for that but a 4 minute check on a less obvious penalty for PAOK, no doubt an official complaint from Aberdeen incoming
ReplyDeleteLuckily you are not an Aberdeen fan.
DeleteIf you're an Aberdeen fan, I think you should be more worried about your team not being able to hold onto a 2 goal lead, regardless of refereeing decisions :)
DeleteAh yes so games cant be decided on blatant incompetence by the VAR that is as blatant a foul anywhere in the pitch. Yes, the team are also to blame but the VAR played a huge part in the result as that incorrect decision gives the opportunity to regain a 2 goal lead you can simply just say you will back the decision no matter how wrong it is
DeleteOFR for Chrysovalándis Theoulí, YC to be changed in RC.
ReplyDeletehttps://streamable.com/tanbha
I think that not all VARs would have called after the YC originally given.
There are elements for RC, but maybe not all will agree: the fact that it wasn't a full contact is the main argument against decision, in my opinion.
Studs, stretched leg, high contact point, somewhat speed. RC.
DeleteHow were the English jones and brooks

Wolves vs Newcastle over the weekend, penalty given by Anthony Taylor, VAR support!
Was that a right decision??
