BMB, if you were to compare the Hungarian refs to English ones, who would they closely resemble, (in terms of refereeing not looks 😉)

Great question ajb

I suspect most on here will have seen Vad & Bognár at some point on a European game but not really any of the others.

Tamás Bognár - maybe Martin Atkinson. Very steady, consistent, reliable, good decision making, fitness and positioning excellent and adapts well between domestic games & Europe.
István Vad - perhaps how many of this board seem to perceive Clatts in terms of a very cocky, arrogant persona on the pitch (and off of it by all accounts - Vad not Clatts, who is lovely). That would be where any potential similarity ends though. He's very fit, fittest ref we have, positioning is good but he is very inconsistent, decision making all to often is erratic. Too many errors, big & small - more Mason than Clatts in that regard!
Ádám Farkas - maybe a young Andre Marriner. Fitness is good, positioning decent. Mainly steady & reliable but can be too over lenient.  Works well in Europe but not so well in the NBI. They are used to a very strict application of the LOTG & Farkas often confuses players by waving play on for things everyone else would give a foul for. He's not afraid of making a decision but sometimes needs to be more proactive in domestic games.
Balázs Berke - Clatts. Confident, a bit cocky at times, a bit of a rebel, does what is right not necessarily what he has been told! Fitness is up there with Vad's, positioning excellent, knowledge and application of the LOTG superb, becoming very consistent but when he does **** up he will do so in spectacular fashion!
Ferenc Karakó - the young Stuart Attwell. Showed a huge amount of promise & there is no doubt there is an excellent referee inside of him somewhere but he was promoted too soon, pushed too far too soon & it has had a very detrimental effect on him and his development. He's either too lenient or too strict - no balance. There is at least 1 bad game changing error in virtually every game. Shame really because when he does have a good game he is excellent, sadly those games come just 1 in 10!
Péter Solymosi - Scott Mathieson. The ultimate safe, steady, reliable pair of hands. Great rapport with players, calm, relaxed, fitness decent, positioning decent, man management superb, high consistency, great use of the advantage & uses the 2 handed signal still - good man. Not spectacular, very underrated and 99.9% of the time puts in a decent performance. Very rare bad errors.
Zoltán Iványi - probably as with Péter Solymosi, a Scott Mathieson type referee & similar attributes. He is probably our closest in terms of any flamboyance. He is also the only one who would ever get away with doing so. Whereas Péter is perhaps quieter and less demonstrative, if a player is having a tantrum, Iványi will do an exaggerated shrug of the shoulders or throw his arms in the air, and the players will always end up laughing. He has the personality and respect of the players to carry it off. King of the advantages although Péter is challenging him well there this season!
Csaba Pintér/Sándor Andó-Szabó are probably Graham Scott types - steady, reliable more often than not, just get on with it, consistent in the main but not spectacular.
József Erdős - not sure who I would compare him to! For a long while he was a very frustrating referee, he was overweight and unfit and it affected his ability to referee.  He has worked really hard though to lose weight and get his fitness sorted and now he can keep up with play his positioning is decent & there is a good consistency in his decision making. He can still have his erratic moments but over the past 2-3 seasons has grown from a complete car crash of a referee into a safe pair of hands. That has been good to watch actually. In terms of the hard work he has put in to keep improving himself maybe a 2nd time around Stuart Attwell. He never gave up, kept working hard & it has paid off for him finally.
Ádám Pillók is on the naughty step and I refuse to discuss him right now! He made Péter wear yellow last night so now is not a good time! I'm in a very unforgiving mindset towards him right now...
Gergő Bogár - I recently described him as the Hungarian Michael Oliver. This kid is such an exciting prospect. He's been on the NBI for 2 seasons now & referees with that same maturity Oliver does. His consistency is there, good fitness, reliable decision making more often than not. Just needs to grow a bit in self confidence and man management.
Bence Csonka - I would put him with Gergő Bogár as a young Michael Oliver. He's around 2 years behind Bogár in developmental terms but there is something very special about him. He's only 1st season NBI and has a way to go but I'd put him down as a FL Oliver and Bogár as a PL Oliver at the moment.

Obviously just my opinions on them!
