The very big names we expected.
ReplyDeleteSo, Vincic in Portugal and not in Germany, while for Marciniak no issues to officiate the German national team and I agree.
Oliver still with big games while Taylor "relegated" to what he can officiate...
Turpin to confirm once again the excellent moment of French refereeing.
Yes, the assumption, that Marciniak can't do German games was apparently exaggerated. I think, he won't get Bayern this season, but Dortmund then also should be fine.
DeleteVincic and Oliver are quite logical appointments.
Turpin gets this game although the winner could meet France in the SF. But apparently not a problem for UEFA (as with Letexier in Barcelona).
As to be expected, the "bigger name" gets the second leg in all pairings including play-offs (only Bastien/Meler could be debated, I think).
Any explanation for Pskit instead of Kwiatkowski as first VAR?
ReplyDeleteOr do we simply assume a mistake on uefa.com?
Just a stupid speculation by myself, if he was the main VAR in the famous Bayern incident, maybe with this choice committee wanted to avoid again controversy with his name? But well, appointing him as AVAR :D
DeleteBut Listkiewicz made the mistake there, not Kwiatkowski.
DeleteFirst appointment after Kwiatkowski's intervention during the penalty shoot out in Real - Atletico
DeleteWe have the first articles about Marciniak's appointment in Germany, speaking of the "scandal referee" who will whistle the match.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I don't know why people on this blog bother with what is written in the press. I can understand when it's mentioned on the blog that some club is not satisfied with the referee's performance... I say, I can understand, but I do not justify it. But I feel that newspappers (especially yellow) should have no place on this blog.
