I didn't know that Mr Puhl decides about the referee shirt and whistle..... 

Well he is the big boss man! He needs to up his game on fining all those who wear or use yellow this season though! 

As well as my desired for red shirt clad red whistle using Mr Solymosi I get a extra #SolymosiWatch this weekend and on my team as well! There's 2 more days of appointments to go yet! I must be starting the season in Mr Puhl's good books! I hope he remembered to send Mr Farkas a very strict nincs sárga warning! Paks play in green, my boys in lilak or white so there is no excuse for y*****

Felcsút v Honvéd postponed after 1 or more players from Felcsút tested positive for coronavirus.  The players concerned have been quarantined and the rest of the squad have been re-tested and will have extra tests over the next few days. The Federation called the game off because they wanted the players who tested negative to be re-tested at least once before being allowed to play as a precaution. Federation quick to respond and enforce precautions. Wonder if this will impact on their UEL qualifying game?

As for refereeing performances:

MTK Budapest v Ferencváros - Referee: Solymosi Péter - Red shirt!
Decent performance. Consistent with fouls. Got in the way of play twice in almost the exact place on the pitch. Fitness still decent. Man management excellent. The TV commentator was praising his man management and made the point 2 or 3 times that he always takes the time to speak to players and explain decisions calmly and how much the players like and respect him. Noticeable was the lack of dissent.

Paks v Újpest - Referee: Farkas Ádám - Red shirt
Pretty easy game for him. Both teams jus got on with it and he had very little to do. He's very laid back and gets a bit of dissent his way because players expect a more strict interpretation of the LOTG but nothing major and he handles it well.

ZTE v Mol Fehérvár - Referee: Bogár Gergő - black shirt
Very much like watching Michael Oliver. Very mature performance. Our first penalties of the season. First one was a very easy decision keeper hauled the Vidi player down. No red as it would have been classed as a DOGSO scenario. The 2nd one Vidi fans are crying over and saying it was a joke - he could have given it for 2 reasons! Nego pushed the player enough for him to start to fall, at which point another Vidi defender  tackled him, got the ball but also took him right down and Nego managed to fall on top of him! Possibly a bit soft, the push was not much but combined with the tackle as well there was certainly enough and it was a correct call. One absolutely sublime advantage. I think it was Nikolics goal - Vidi player in possession was fouled just outside the area, but was still able to pass as he went down, team mate shot & scored. He had signalled for an advantage & had his whistle up to his mouth ready to call play back. Fantastic bit of refereeing. Look forward to him getting his white badge in Jan. I think he is our future elite ref.

DVTK v Mezőkövesd Zsóry - Referee: Berke Balázs - black shirt
There's something different about him. He's holding his head high & is full of confidence right now. He's in a really good spell, won referee of the season, has just had an excellent UCL debut, 2nd UCL game coming up and it's lovely to see. Masterclass from him today. Fitness outstanding, foul detection, outstanding, positioning, outstanding, man management excellent. There was an incident at the end of the game.  Mezokovesd defender lost his man, stumbled while trying to catch him and grabbed his back leg to pull him down that way. The DVTK player jumped up and pushed him and a few words were exchanged. Berke rightly then booked them both. The foul was a yellow and Ivanovski yellow for the push. Ivanovski wasn't impressed with his yellow and started screaming at Berke who promptly gave him a 2nd yellow and off he went! This happened between 90+2 and 90+4 with TAO at 4 min. He didn't add on any extra time, which he should have but tempers were very frayed at the time, there had been a few more handbags thrown after the red and he blew for the game to end as soon as the free kick was taken. It wasn't near the goal but could have possibly reached the pen box. Only thing you can really complain about but it's balanced by preventing the game from kicking right off.

Felcsút v Honvéd postponed after 1 or more players from Felcsút tested positive for coronavirus.  The players concerned have been quarantined and the rest of the squad have been re-tested and will have extra tests over the next few days. The Federation called the game off because they wanted the players who tested negative to be re-tested at least once before being allowed to play as a precaution. Federation quick to respond and enforce precautions. Wonder if this will impact on their UEL qualifying game?

According to the Romanian press Felcsút gave permission to Baluta to go to a wedding in Romania last week. Reports also suggest there are 7 or 8 people who tested positive including masseurs. Nothing is being confirmed by our Federation. Baluta has not been confirmed as testing positive - that is speculation in the Romanian press. I do wonder though if it is also a breach of government guidelines, I thought Romania was still classed as a 'red' country but I am not 100% uptodate so it might have been downgraded to a 'yellow' country by now.  Can't imagine Dr Csányi is pleased with the situation, he will feel they have embarrassed the Federation, especially if they have to forfeit their EL game due to it. Be interesting to see if the Federation fine them.

2 lots of #SolymosiWatch for the lucky Missy bmb this week! Firstly as referee last night, wearing black and as AAR1 tomorrow when Mr Zierkelbach makes his NBI debut. Excited to see his debut, he is from Missy bmb's 'home' town in Hungary - it is where my Hungarian family live.  Our local team back in the NBII & now we have a new referee in the NBI as well   Just about to watch Mr Karakó, with my fav AR & the lovely (but nowhere near as lovely as Mr Solymosi) Mr Takács!

To date he has been AAR in the NBI 56 times and is now making his debut as referee. He first made his debut on the NBIII (Drava Group) on 15th March 2008 as AR1 in the match between Tamási v Csurgó.

His debut onto the NBII was as 4th official on 9th May 2014 in the match between ZTE v Szolnok, with his refereeing debut following on 6th September 2014 in the ZTE v Szeged match.

Good Luck Mr Zierkelbach

Kisvárda v Felcsút has been postponed until 4th September due to Felcsút players testing positive for covid-19

The reality that my team are still awful has hit early this season!!!

Good debut from Mr Zierkelbach though. One very poor offside call from Mr Vígh-Tarsonyi in the first half, he was about 4 feet onside! Unusual for him to get one that wrong. Snidey stamp by Zsóri on 90+4 - that was shameful. Fully deserved the red card and it was a good spot from the ref. As for Ristevski he will not be missed while he serves his ban! His reaction was also shameful - his red was also well deserved. He'd already proved what a liability he still is by giving away a stupid free kick that lead to the equaliser and yet another yellow card for him. As his 2nd card was a straight red, the yellow still counts so only 4 more away from his first totting up ban of the season!

It's going to be a looooong season!

Still #SolymosiWatch in red - there's always a silver lining!
