Kisvárda Master Good 2-1 DVSC  Referee: Bognár Tamás

What an absolute cracker of a game. 2 teams intent on having fun and playing some lovely football. Bognár Tamás happy to stay in the background and let the game flow around him.  6 yellow cards in total - 2 that you'd not see in England - Bohdan Melnyik a YC for simulation & Dombó Dávid – time wasting. The latter was at 90+3 but the time wasting only started in the 89th min when Kisvárda went ahead. TAO was +5 and +6 was played so he took into account the time wasting and added an extra minute.

Ferencváros 3-1 Újpest  Referee: Bogár Gergő  4O: Solymosi Péter

Fantastic game to watch. Full of drama as you would expect from the big Budapest derby.

The lovely Mr Solymosi wore a gorgeous red tracksuit top as 4th official - yes this is the most important detail from the game! Last time out as 4O he wore a grey tracksuit top with yellow piping & a yellow mesh inside the hood and Missy bmb was far from amused. That fact appears to have found its way to his ears & he went for a gorgeous red top instead today, also making up for not being able to wear red in his match yesterday! You are now forgiven Péter!

Onto the actual game - never let it be said that my team are their own worst enemy... Banai with a dumb foul to give away a penalty after just 4/5 mins *sigh*. Diaby dumb foul just outside the pen box that saw him get a red for DOGSO. *sigh* 3 more yellow cards for my team in the 1st half & all correct. Silly foul by Antanov, silly foul by Kastrati and dissent from Nikola.  It was down to the coin throwing by Fradi fans - he claimed to have been hit by a coin and spoke with Teo on the far side, he was refusing to take the corner and kept picking up coins from the pitch. The ref went over and they had a discussion. Nikola handed him a bunch of coins, again refused to take the corner and carried on picking up coins. He wet in the book - the official reason "complaining" ie dissent as opposed to delaying the restart.  Mr Bogár did trot over to the technical area and handed whatever was being thrown to the lovely Mr Solymosi, who was in a very smiley mood today! I suspect this was in the knowledge he had chosen the perfect top & was very much in bmb's good books!   40th min Fradi were jumping up and down screeching for a penalty for handball - VAR replays clearly showing Tallo had headed the ball and it was nowhere near his hand. Referee correct in his on field decision. Tallo pulled one back for Lilák on 45+2 - another VAR review for offside. There was none - goal stood. It was literally the one & only thing my team did 1st half other than silly fouls, bookings, reds and giving away pens! 

Onto the 2nd half and it was more of the same, Fradi dominating, my team following! At least they cut out the dumb fouls in this half. 54th min Tokmac given a YC for simulation - Fradi stamped their feet and screeched it was a penalty.  VAR agreed with the referee - no penalty & therefore also confirming the YC for simulation was absolutely spot on. Tokmac immediately subbed by Fradi's manager. 81st min Fradi had a goal chalked off by VAR for offside. Uzuni, the scorer did however manage to get his name on the scoresheet just 6 mins later with fradi's 3rd goal. Deserved victory for Fradi, our manager acknowledge afterwards we lost due to our own errors.

Team ref can be happy with their contribution.
