  1. Again Nalbandyan is refereeing team from Belarus.

  2. Treimanis VAR after a bad performance in Europa League Slavia - Ajax.

  3. That's how committee has planned to use him. I think that the performance in Belarus - Northern Ireland should be under the eyes of committee. Nevertheless, I think the original idea with the Armenian, after having been followed for a while, was to try with an Europa League group stage assignment, but now it seems definitely unlikely.
    The most sonorous game goes to Nobre, a referee who, we must say, lost clearly consideration after one year ago (and I think we can understand why).
    In terms of important observations by committee / relevant observers, I don't see any particular choice in this set.
    All regular observers.
    And two words about Treimanis must be said: it seems as he lost almost all consideration by committee, not even appointed, in this set working as VAR. I think he should be carefully, a demotion from Category 1 to 2 would be very harsh, but it looks like at moment for him it's a more serious affair than "only" having left the chance for an Elite promotion...
    Israeli referees appointed in Swtizerland (a safe country?), maybe not a coincidence, as today it seems very difficult to see many appointments from this federation.

  4. OFR for Fotias in Belfast, he had originally disallowed this goal:

  5. Be interested in views on the challenge in penalty area minute 11 in the HJK/Dinamo Minsk game with Nalbandyan

    1. Here the incident you mentioned, possible penalty, and then a correctly disallowed goal by AR1.
      https://streambug.org/cv/69eed2
      Not clear how much defender deliberately hit attacker and the intensity, I think one needs more replay to be sure, VAR didn't intervene. For sure, referee missed the incident, as he was not looking there, so this could have been an argument for VAR, IN case.
      More clips about this game to follow.

  6. A hot ending to the game for sure. Caution to away player for high arms, VAR should have said Red CARD

      Correct RC for DOGSO, handball on the line. Very clear, all handballs should be like this one, to make refereeing easier.

      90'+3
      https://streambug.org/cv/bca6c8
      Definitely unclear how the Armenian VAR crew worked in terms of protocol. The offside was not shown to referee for an OFR, but it seems to me that the player they reported to be in offside didn't touch ball, and since goal had been allowed by AR, they should have invited the referee to rewatch for assessing whether active or passive offside, honestly one can even have doubts about the call, was that obstructing keeper's line of vision? Or maybe I'm missing something..

      90'+10
      https://streambug.org/cv/3f4ee2
      I agree with you, that's a quite clear RC. No matter the intensity in this case, player absolutely aware of the opponent and hitting him on purpose. The arguments about a soft incident shouldn't be mentioned. I also think that this could be assessed as missed intervention by VAR, but the Armenian referee looked to be aware, from his body language (running into the scene and preventing escalation), that this was maybe something more than YC.

    2. As for the rest, I didn't watch full game, no time, but I found another correctly disallowed goal by AR1, and all the yellow cards that referee issued were absolutely correct and mandatory. Don't know whether there is more, though.

    3. Oh, rewatched the offside call by VAR, you can argue #37 HJK was impeded from trying a save by the attacker in offside when ball passed, OK, bu this should have been analyzed by referee, not directly the VAR...

      Delete
    4. Glad you agree with red card, players intentions were clear. Offside call I believe the player offside does deflect the ball into the goal
