  1. Now after Russia and Belarus officials, the management of Israeli seems to be another "trouble" for UEFA. By analyzing all appointments, one can notice a trend of sending almost all BLR / ISR officials to countries and clubs from Hungary and Serbia, including games played on neutral ground. In addition, if not possible, minor games from countries like Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan and so on, are used for the scope. To be honest, I really can't imagine how long this will last and it's a totally weird situation that can't go on, definitely, forever...

    1. Interestingly, I would interpret Gal Leibovitz's current appointment completely differently: I would generally describe a match between a team from Montenegro and a team from Serbia as a big game due to the political past of the two countries involved and therefore as a special honor for the nominated referee. I know: you're primarily referring to the fact that it's always the same "certain" countries; but the encounter itself is extremely attractive in my opinion for the mentioned reason.

    2. Belarusian officials are not appointed at all this season...

      Delete
    3. @vadim: Didn't Viktor Shimusik handle Noah – Shkëndija two weeks ago?

      Delete
    4. @Peter
      Which political past?
      Serbia and Montenegro separated peacefully in 2006.

      (For example: 41% of tourists in Montenegro are from Serbia)

      Delete
    5. @Vadim but observers and delegates are appointed, that's strange. Can you guess why no Belarusan referees so far? Overall, their management in recent years, apart from the Russia - Ukraine question, has been very particular.

      Delete
    6. @Peter Yes, you're right, I forgot about Shymusik appointment.

      @Chefren In my opinion, Dzmitryeu and Shymusik are just not so good at the moment to referee something more, than 1st rounds of qualifications. Kulbakov's last international match was Ferencvaros - Genk in Conference League MD4. He was not perfect in that match, but still, I expect something similar for him this season. And Amine Kurgheli, 33 y.o., IMO, best referee domestically, often gets biggest clashes, he has good fitness, communication skills, but sometimes lack in desicion making, he had couple of mistakes domestically. Last season, he refereed 2 matches in YCL group stage, but nothing in KO stage. I personally, expected him getting a chance in something bigger.

  2. The danish Putros will be observed by H. Webb; is it a just a case or there is a development plan for him ?
    Is Raffaele Del Vecchio (4th official of Beltrano) from San Marino? He doesn't belong to AIA.
    What a huge decline for Ruddy Buquet !!!! He was 4th official in CL final two years ago and elite referee and now appointed for a Conference preliminary !

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Raffaele Delvecchio seems to be active in San Marino's Campionato: https://www.weltfussball.at/schiedsrichter_profil/raffaele-delvecchio/3/1/smr-campionato-2023-2024/

      Are you sure that you don't confuse Ruddy Buquet with Benoît Bastien as Fourth Official in the UCL final 2022?

      Delete
    2. You are right Peter, my bad. It was Bastien. Buquet acted several time as 4th official in important matches with Turpin but not in the 2022 CL final.

      Delete
    3. About Del Vecchio, very often Sammarinese officials are reported as ITA in UEFA database.

  3. CL Q2, 2nd leg
    Trnava Sarajevo
    R: S.Putros

    7' Penalty appeal fo potential Trn 25 handball, correctly no call IMO
    8' Poor teamwork with AR2, AR2 showed throw in for Sar, R correctly overturned to throw in for Trn
    17' Good help from AR1, clear foul close to him
    20' Good help from 4O, foul close to him
    28' Correct YC for Trn 26, for SPA
    36' Good play on call on the edge of Sar penalty area
    39' Blatant wrong foul call for Sar, good shoulder to shoulder challenge IMO

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. 46' Great YC for Sar 16 for illegal use of arms
      52' Good play on call and strong body language in Sar penalty area
      55' Missed clear YC for Trn 11, for reckless late challenge
      75' Good teamwork, at first play on call, but after intervention of 4O foul given
      76' Good fast reaction to potential mass confrontation, strong body language and public warming for main initiators
      79' Good YC for Trn 7, for reckless play, difficult situation for potential mistaken identity (2+2 players in challenge)
      83' Missed clear YC for Sar 77 (I think), for reckless play, not even foul called
      85' Trn substitution canceled, play correctly immediately restarted
      90+2' Correct YC for Sar 18, for SPA

  4. At a quick look on Uefa.com, there were 22 Red Cards in the second leg UECL games! Huge number!
