ReplyDeleteOliver at Pafos Crvena Zvezda
Mariana a bad one ... the rest are top referees.
I was convinced that Marciniak would handle Benfica Fenerbahce, surprising for me to see him in another game.
ReplyDeleteNow it will be Vincic despite of his rather poor performance in his last game involving Portugal (but I agree with UEFA, this shouldn’t be a problem).
Because Zwayer (another German after Siebert), Kovacs (repetition of Fenerbahce) and Turpin (repetition of Ingvarsson as observer, or is this common?) all seem unlikely to me.
Vincic refereed the Galatasaray-Fenerbahce derby last year in turkey.. Fenerbahce's vice president has a team in slovenia (FK Maribor) Vincic is from Maribor. this was a hotly debated topic in Turkey..
DeleteI really hope Slavko Vincic won’t be assigned to Benfica–Fenerbahçe. Am I the only one? José “the Special One” Mourinho praised Vincic heavily after the Turkish derby, while slamming the Turkish 4th official. The same Mourinho who’s clearly well-connected in RefCom. I mean, just look at the warm hug with Rosetti after losing the Europa League final…
DeleteIf Vincic now gets this match, it almost looks like he’s there on Mourinho’s recommendation. UEFA’s RefCom approach is already more about keeping clubs happy than ensuring integrity. Referees criticized by coaches or players often don’t see those clubs again – which is bad enough. But the reverse, appointing “preferred” referees, might be even worse.
And yes, add the Fenerbahçe–Maribor connection on top of that… Yikes.
Could Taylor do it?
ReplyDeleteAntohny Taylor and mourinho 😂 No chance
DeleteAhh of course! Great shout. 😂
DeleteHello, can you tell me in how many hours will all the referees be known?
ReplyDeletetomorrow 10:00
Deletethanks
DeleteWhat happen to Clement Turpin?
ReplyDeleteHe did a CL 3rd qualifying round 1st leg on the 5th of August
DeleteSeems like Zwayer had a rough season start, in Freiburg-Augsburg. A lot of fouls, cards and a PK whistled after VAR advise.
