Who is kavanagh's ar2 Alex james
ReplyDeleteEFL Championship assistant referee, has also officiated in some PL matches.
DeleteDoes he have a fifa badge?
DeleteNo, he hasn't, but it's not necessary that both AR's are on the FIFA list for Nations League game.
DeleteMost of the PL assistants who aren't on the FIFA list are likely too old to join so it makes sense that a few AR's like Alex James and Blake Antrobus are getting appointments despite being pretty new to the PL. Also a few FIFA Ar's are unavaliable at the moment.
DeletePro Ref have announced the retirement of Premier league and FIFA assistant referee Dan Robathan on medical grounds.
ReplyDeleteSad that he has to retire way earlier than he had wanted to. At least he did both the EFL and Fa Cup final as well do doing some UEFA games.
DeleteFor me, the best ARs in the EPL in the 21st century are, chronologically, Sharp, Cann, Beswick, Robathan.
DeleteMarciniak and Walsh seem to have tough matches to handle.
ReplyDeleteHowever, UEFA has deployed the 'heavyweights' for the second legs.
Maybe tough, but still a bit underwhelming for Walsh to only work in league B, I think.
DeleteWhat do you mean by second legs here?
Overall logical appointments for Sunday in my opinion.
Interesting, that this time no bigger names are used in league D, if we compare it to the last edition.
Already 5 German referee teams on 4 days, leading to the first double appointment with Pascal Müller.
It was notable in the latter half of last season that Walsh was kept away from "hotter" games which some of the nee elite referees were getting. They might be looking to see how he does with that while keeping it as a lower profile game
DeleteFor those wondering why Lothar D'Hondt hasn't been assigned to UEFA matches for months: the Belgian referee only showed a yellow card to the player who attacked him in this incident.
ReplyDeletehttps://x.com/ersinnsezer/status/2082534549808902381?s=
Did the UEFA Disciplinary Committee issue any punishment to this player? Punishing the referee alone isn't enough.
DeleteThe player who attacked the belgian referee is Slovenia's national team captain, Erik Janza, :) Do you think Ceferin and uefa have banned him? :) of course no
DeleteHonestly, as sad as that is, good. A message should be sent to referees to stop being lenient when players do these types of ridiculous and intimidating actions.
DeleteExpected a bigger name for the Ireland game
ReplyDeleteThere might be a lot of noise outside the pitch but at the end of the day it's played in Hungary with virtually no spectators.
DeleteOsmers is a bigger name ? :D I don't think so. He failed at CL league phase last year and EC qualifers also. So he is an upper 1.Cat referee nothing more.
DeleteHe expected a bigger name than Osmers ;)
DeleteAnthony Taylor is a key official in the Turkish Football Federation, heading the referee committee... I don't find this appointment of Michael Oliver right.
ReplyDeleteHead of ref in UEFA from İtaly.How can manage from your perspective?No one do officait game of İtaly ?
DeleteCouldnt think of any better referee to send. AT is responsible for Turkish refs not Turkish football. I don't see any issue at all.
DeleteStarting with Munuera Montero, he only officiated a single Conference League match last season and one Conference League qualifier this season.
ReplyDeleteBut as I noted with Gillet, this shouldn't rule him out from refereeing international fixtures, or even Champions League and Europa League games.
Wishing him the best of luck for the match!.
Next up is Alberola Rojas, who has a highly competitive match ahead in my book.
I'm really pleased to see him consistently getting UEFA appointments, as I firmly believe he's the top Spanish referee right now.
Lastly, Michael Oliver—not just this season's top English referee, but one of the best overall. He’s got the toughest fixture on September 28th, but I fully trust he is more than up to the task.
As for the grievances over Taylor, or the 'ghosts' haunting the minds of certain pundits, they honestly don't even warrant a reply.
