No directs flights currently but I can fly from Bournemouth to Prague and then Prague to Dublin! Return flight would be via Krakow. That's nuts!! Cost is reasonable enough but makes it a 7.5 - 8 hour flight instead of 1 hour and I'd have to stay overnight. Not sure I can be bothered with that! If the lovely Mr Solymosi was 4O I would 100% go but...

The appointment is indeed a very good one. But I wouldn't call the observer insignificant. Madden is considered a solid 1st Group referee. Obviously UEFA thought that he isn't Elite material since. He had 5 CL appointments but remained at 1st Group.

Fantastic game for Craig - one game I definitely want to watch. Decent game for Chris too. No surprise to see willie in there, I think his elite status is under threat.
Dallas watching glova who seems to be someone worth watching.

I’ll also be watching the Benfica standard liege game - Francois letexier on this one who is a referee I really like so will be nice to see him again.

I wonder if Dallas is only concentrating on being an observer on the UK mainland?

I find it strange that he would observe a relative unknown ( to me anyway) official, unless of course he looks like a real talent.

While Dallas is in London, I notice Stephen Lodge is up in Glasgow.  I'd forgotten he was still an Observer - it seems ages since he was refereeing although it's only about 20 years I suppose.  Wasn't he one of the former refs used in the 6 a-side competitions after he retired from the PL?

He was indeed a ref for the Masters Tournament having retired in 2001.

Oh he most certainly is ;)

As well as being totty, Mr Glova ia a very promising young referee. No surprise to me he is being watched by a big observer.

Not quite forgiven him for the sugar plum fairy look when he did a youth final with Theodoros Georgiou though!

EL debuts for Mariani (ITA) and Balakin (UKR).

Very good appointment for Glova in front of Hugh Dallas. Expected appointment for Collum. Perhaps his Elite status in question?

Surprisingly no appointment for Marciniak on MD1-2. Perhaps UEFA is not satisfied with his performances atm.

AR2 now is Dawid Igor Golis (POL) and FO Daniel Stefanski (POL).

Here is the mail from UEFA.

«UEFA has today announced that it has replaced two of the referees appointed for the UEFA Europa League match Molde vs Arsenal FC scheduled for Thursday 26 November at 18.55CET as one of the match officials appointed for this match has produced a positive covid test upon arrival in Norway and two officials have subsequently been placed into quarantine by local authorities. The referee (Irfan Peljto) and 1st assistant (Senad Ibrisimbegovic) from Bosnia remain as planned. The 2nd assistant referee will now be Dawid Igor Golis and the 4th official, Daniel Stefanski, both from Poland.»

Peljto was fine. Not a difficult game but good foul detection - well controlled and well managed. Don’t think he booked anyone which is a nice change. Well done to Arsenal for qualifying!

Monzul gets her 3rd appointment after LTU-GRE U21 and SMR-GIB NL. I guess she might have a chance for a Euro spot.

Congratulations and best of luck to Robert Hennessy on his EL group stage debut. Seeing his appointment makes me wonder why (I think) Neil Doyle never got a chance at a GS game, odd unless anyone else knows of some mishaps he had in Europe.

Not a bad game for Pawson, however I think he is a bit unlucky not to have gotten a CL game this season, maybe some chance in the next Matchday?

Additionally, and I could be mixing this up - but did Pawson referee a PAOK last year were he gave a number of penalties to/against them? Interesting appointment maybe if so...

MO, UEFA should avoid appointing Pawson to Omonoia - PAOK.

Pawson was the referee of last year's CL match Ajax - PAOK. He awarded 3 penalties to Ajax and Paok fans were furious.

Now PAOK has a crucial match in Cyprus. IMO, the appointment is wrong.

Strukan is a good referee and UEFA seems to push him. He was promoted to UEFA 2nd on June 2019 and now already with a 2nd EL appointment.

The calls were all correct so why should he be penalised by not being given a game because one of the teams don't like the fact he didn't let them get away with crap in a prior game?  Might serve as a reminder to them they are meant to be kicking the ball not other players! ;)

Greek fans seem to hate all referees whatever - you're a feisty lot out there!!

MO, UEFA should avoid appointing Pawson to Omonoia - PAOK.

Pawson was the referee of last year's CL match Ajax - PAOK. He awarded 3 penalties to Ajax and Paok fans were furious.

Now PAOK has a crucial match in Cyprus. IMO, the appointment is wrong.

Strukan is a good referee and UEFA seems to push him. He was promoted to UEFA 2nd on June 2019 and now already with a 2nd EL appointment.

Do you think Pawson's penalty decisions in the Ajax - PAOK match were correct?

Yes, all 3 of them.

Thanks very much Edy, that was the game I was thinking of. Mixed views on his appointment, I take bmb's point that as he was correct he shouldn't be punished but on the other hand with so many fixtures perhaps it would have been better to appoint him to a different game just for sake of ease if nothing else.

As I said earlier and maybe I am wrong about this, I am surprised that Pawson didn't get a CL game yet this season. I know he will not make the elite group at this stage, however I thought he was in the bracket of 1st group referees who get some CL GS games. Instead of giving him this match due to the history maybe a good compromise would have been to give him a CL game instead!! :)

Of course it would, it's simple common sense but common sense has been outlawed in the modern game!

My point was more that as a cantankerous old woman I am sick and tired of teams/players/managers/fans bleating and moaning about a referees appointment to their precious team because he had the absolute audacity to uphold the LOTG last time around and gave perfectly correct decisions that just happened to go against their team. It's utterly pathetic.  We don't need that same attitude coming from referees as well, we should be supporting our colleagues especially having got through a difficult game with the big calls correct.

It's one thing to be angry about dreadful incorrect decisions, yes Hategan and Karasev I am glaring at both of you right now, but completely another to cry about correct decisions and still try the blame game. Berate your players for being idiots and not the poor referee who had to deal with their ill disciplined behaviour, maybe they'll learn to control themselves better and get on and actually I dunno, play football maybe!

👏👏👏👏👏

That’s a very good point that referees or the powers that be shouldn’t adopt that same attitude, you’re right you can’t punish the referee for making correct calls. I suppose there is a greater good argument to be made about not appointing referees in a situation like this but I think your principled point is absolutely correct.

There was a time (many moons ago) when a club complaining about the decisions made by a referee and asking the appointments secretary not to re-appoint said referee to any of their future games invariably meant a return visit of that referee within the month. 

I am not sure if the "clever" clubs adopted reverse psychology was ever tried, but I certainly returned to my fair share of unfriendly Isthmian League venues!!

Should that not be 'week' rather than 'month' Leggy?  ;D

I remember a local league game which ended in uproar and being immediately appointed to the home side's next game at the same venue the following weekend. A low key cup game which the home side won at a canter, the game ended all smiles and handshakes. So the referee secretary's psychology worked, at least for me!

Dave Allison was one who would appoint them back to that team very quickly and often! It normally resulted in an apology for the original request!!

8 cautions from the 75th minute inluding 2 in the 85th and four in the 90th.
She fell away at the end of the Nations League match I watched the other week as well...

That doesn't sound good, I suppose ultimately the players are responsible for their own behaviour but without having seen the game I think that number of cautions within such a short space of time would usually be indicative of a referee who struggled to control the game in the closing stages

I saw the highlights of Pawson’s game and he seemed to do well.

All yellows shown on the highlights (I think 4 of the 5 given) looked correct and he got the important call - a late penalty totally correct.

I really rate Pawson as a referee but I think his mannerisms can let him down sometimes. He is very calm and doesn’t get too excited/flustered which is certainly good but I think sometimes he needs to be tougher and show a stronger image as at times I think his relaxed demeanour can look a little lethargic and uninterested. Not everyone can be as expressive with their body language as Kassai/Clattenburg/Cakir etc. but I just think a small bit more enthusiasm in his body language would really improve his presence and his overall impression.

Anyway, fingers crossed he will get some further games in Europe this season.

Very important observer in Dallas for Visser.. he looks a fairly solid bet for elite perhaps in 2022?

I’m not sure what to make of Kulbakov at the moment. Seems a strange appointment given he has been trusted with UCL matches. I wonder if the committee aren’t partial to his ability at present in the elite group.

Treimanis with Vassaras as observer... looks like he is still in favour with something to prove to a committee member.

Hategan eased back into Europe with a FO appointment. I hope we will see him taking charge of a match in the next round of appointments.

Only VAR duties for the English referees and none of the Scottish out so maybe issues with travel as has been suggested.

I agree with TTFL, Scharer has a big future IMO, I hope this important game goes well for him.

Expected appointments for the 'big hitters' Cakir etc.

Agree Scharer was impressive overall but I thought he was lenient when it came to YCs.  Surprised it was the 88th minute before Monreal was carded and a couple of United players I felt were fortunate after Bissaka was cautioned early on. He does carry a certain authority though.

Indeed quite a change! Thought he had a very good game though.

Quite an incident packed evening in the EL, interestingly there were (to my knowledge) three OFR after which the referee either did not follow VAR advice or stuck with their initial decision. While I don't think all of them were correct, it does IMO speak to the confidence referees seem to have in UEFA competitions to back themselves over VAR which we doesn't seem to be the case in the EPL.

The OFR incidents for those who might be interested -

Maccabi Tel Aviv - Shakhtar Donetsk OFR , Referee is François Letexier - https://streamable.com/a9pl1q

I think in this case VAR was incorrect to intervene, nothing clear and obvious here in fact for me definitely no penalty good call by Letexier to back himself over his vastly more experienced VAR Clement Turpin.

LOSC Lille  - AFC Ajax, Referee is Ivan Kružliak - https://streamable.com/9ajbfe

I am torn on this incident, for me it is no penalty but I'm not sure if it is an obvious enough mistake for VAR to intervene. I think maybe one can back Kružliak and I can see why he stuck with a penalty but for me play on is a better choice.

FC Salzburg  - Villarreal CF, Referee is Andris Treimanis - https://streamable.com/k4oybd

Simply an unacceptable mistake. I cannot offer any defence as to why a RC isn't issued, to miss the RC in real time is bad enough but to issue yellow after OFR...IMO a very poor decision from a referee I had heard good things about previously. I wonder how this will impact on his progress, hopefully he can recover.
Title: Re: UEFA Europa League 2020/2021 appointments
Post by: dtrv2 on Sat 20 Feb 2021 19:28
IMO, the first one the referee was correct to stick with his decision.

Second I think is an incredibly harsh penalty. Striker looks like he's on his way down before any contact is made, which it also looks like he initiates.

Third is just inexcusable why that's not a red card.

Attwell/Tierney and Kavanagh/Pawson two regular teams are appointed to VAR this midweek in UEL. Actually I expect third, Betts and Massey should have been paired separately with Kavanagh/Pawson. A Madley and Coote should join regular var team next season.

I wanted to know the same, however I guess they are at stockley Park or the uefa equivalent here in England. I think the reason Scottish officials are travelling as their rules are different I think. Could someone confirm this please.

I think Zwayer's appointment does nothing to quell any concerns he may not be going to EUROS or indeed may face demotion in the future.

Collum's observer is interesting, perhaps he still has some chance for EUROS? Or maybe a last chance to be saved from demotion? Or perhaps just a coincidental appointment.

Visser with a dead rubber as you say but a much deserved KO debut IMO. I saw him officiate a ROI game last year and at just 31 I feel he has the potential for a big future ahead. I wish him the best of luck with this appointment.

I wonder if there was a late change of officials in Rome given Beaton is 4O and there are English VAR assistants appointed.

That would suggest a Scottish team was taking that game?

So many non football related factors to consider before we even get to the who deserves appointments criteria! Positive covid tests, we have 2 self isolating, not because they have positive tests but because they came into contact with someone who is positive, ever changing border closures and restrictions as varying countries move into a red zone with increased restrictions or full closure, to an orange zone with lesser restrictions, I don't think green zones are a thing right now, possible periods of self isolation or quarantine on return. Once they have determined which referees are allowed to travel to what countries, as the rules are at this second, they then look at who is deserving of the appointments & hope the travel restrictions don't increase between the appointment being made & the game! 

Must be an absolute nightmare for the appointments peeps in Nyon right now who have to know at any given moment every single countries travel restrictions, what countries have their borders fully open to which other countries and which they are closed to, restrictions any referees will face on return to their own country before they even look at the merit table and eligibility of any given referee for a game dependent upon the teams involved.

Ridiculous fourth official appointment for Nijhuis and the VAR team ... they are in Turin on the Tuesday with Kuipers and then a trip to London on Thursday!

Other than that seeming oversight by the Dutch FA, fairly standard appointments elsewhere, although that’s a long trip for Michael Oliver..

I think Pawson had a better chance of L32 rather than L16. I think L16 games will only go to potential future elites and I don't believe Pawson is being considered for promotion.

I agree that he of course will not be promoted, but after many years in EL group stage and one L32 match, Pawson deserves at least one L16 match IMO. And if he don’t get a knockout stage match this year, there will probably not be anymore in the future due to his age and Chris Kavanagh. I do not expect him to be another Mike Dean in UEFA matches but it is happening. I think that so many unfortunate factors have resulted in that.

Yes an important observer for Madden...

Collum is under serious threat on his elite status with Madden picking up this tie IMO.

Standard appointment for Brych in Milan, a decent tie for Ekberg however an unfamiliar observer.. if they were looking at him further then I would expect at least a committee member.

Surprise that Lahoz is in Ukraine... seems a strange appointment given the tie status.

I do wonder if Lahoz is being kept away from any controversy before a final appointment later in the season? Unusual appointment it would seem.

Thanks for the confirmation re Madden's observer. I agree Collum is in trouble although I wonder if at 42 they will promote Madden, or if he will just be appointed like a "semi elite" referee so to speak. I guess though this observer could well answer that question.

The situations between two Spanish elite refs has really confuses me since last year. I wonder if Uefa appoints a Spanish ref to a final(ucl,usc or even euro), will it be Antonio Mateu Lahoz or Carlos del Cerro Grande?

It seems that the appointments were made before the 1st leg matches and they didn't make any changes.

That would expain the appointments of Del Cerro Grande and Mateu Lahoz to already decided ties.

Brych gets and expected appointment. Grinfeld gets, in my eyes, the 2nd best appointment of the round. The Israeli has surely impress certain people and his Euro spot seems a lock.

Normal appointments for Ekberg, Massa and Jovanovic. Good match for Madden and with an important observer.

They don't promote to elite over the age of 40. Not enough time for elite level experience ahead of major tournaments.  Edy will know who it was but there has only been 1 as far as I am aware & quite some time ago.

That’s not a list I was expecting. Great appointment for Ekberg under the Dallas radar.

Siebert appointed over Zwayer... i think it’s probably curtains for Zwayer in the elite group very soon.

Expected appointment for Soares Dias, and Karasev with another chance and an important observer.

I wonder is there even a chance Ekberg will go to EURO as I saw suggested on another site? Seems very unlikely given he is not elite group but his appointments and observers suggest he will at least be promoted to elite in the very near future.

I agree, Siebert's appointment is bad news for Zwayer but also interesting that he is appointed over Stieler who is only FO this week for Brych.

Nice appointment for Mattias Gestranius from Finland as FO, a good referee IMO.

I am surprised by Siebert’s appointment. Aytekin, Zwayer and Stieler are all in elite group and are available but Siebert is the one. I do not think Siebert would go to euro.

I think these appointments show there is going to be significant changes in the categories this summer after the Euros.
I think Zwayer’s time is up as it Aytekin. Collum will probably go too.

Edit: what about Bastien. He is a referee I really like but since his promotion to elite I can’t remember too many KO games he’s done in any competition
Title: Re: UEFA Europa League 2020/2021 appointments
Post by: edy on Tue 06 Apr 2021 14:17
I think that the appointments of Soares Dias and Karasev probably confirm their Euro spots. Both have committee members which suggest that the publication of the final list is not far away.

I also believe that the committee is not 100% certain about Ekberg. It's the 3 committee member on his 4 last matches.

Pretty surprised about Siebert. His performance on Olympiakos - Arsenal was just satisfactory and I am not convinced if he is Elite material. I believe that he is being pushed to replace Aytekin.

Should Man Utd progress would they not play either Roma or Ajax, a game being Refereed by an Englishman, in fact one alleged by the hard of thinking to be a Man Utd fan?
Might it be understandable to anticipate comments from said hard of thinking individuals about this appointment?
Is it ole or sir alex he should ring to find out who utd prefer he says tongue in cheek lol

Not impressed with Kovács. Some bemusing decisions throughout. Pogba very unlucky to be cautioned when he was fouled twice before that and very little contact. The way the Granada players surrounded him to try and get Pogba sent off was disgraceful and good to see him book Soldado for his antics.
Lost control a bit after this but then decided he wasn’t going to give free kicks for anything.
Missed clear foul on Amad Diallo in second half which probably would have been a second yellow.

Nothing majorly wrong but I expected more. Both him and Hatgen last week looked very unconvincing (sorry BMB)

That's ok.  You are allowed your own opinion including one where you feel a favourite of mine has not been up to scratch in a particular game.

The foul on Armad Diallo (bear in mind I barely know who any of the players are) - is that the one quite late on where there was a tackle from the side that ended with a stamp on a foot?  If so the player himself was obscuring his view, he was slightly behind and to the left of the player (when looking at it from the front view) and would have been unable to see the front part of the foot through the player.  The ball shot off in the direction you would have expected it to from the tackle. I saw it after on TV and that was a wrong call but given his view and position, which was as expected, one he couldn't do much about.  Needed some help with that one.  Pogba was also very lucky not to get a red card when he threw his elbow back when already on a yellow.  He did play a couple of lovely advantages as well on the positive side.

It seems that Soares Dias has earned the full trust by the committee. Didn't expect this appointment.

Νο surprise with Del Cerro on the other match.

It has been suggested the Brych was angry with Zwayer for not intervening when he was VAR to tell Brych to go for OFR for a penalty incident in a WC match in 2018. The incident basically ended the WC for Brcyh.

The audio of the clip has been released, from the German translations I've seen, it looked like Zwayer felt it was a penalty but because of Brych's strong reaction to players looking for it to be awarded he didn't feel he could credibly intervene. I'd be interested if any German speakers have heard the clip and might be able to offer better insight.

In terms of the falling out I have seen no concrete evidence but it was reported by a few sources at the time.

Expected for Vincic after his good season.

Brych was an unexpected name but obviously Rosetti is playing safe since there is an Italian team.

I totally agree, in fact, the best team on the field were the officials A Semi-Final with just 4 shots on target with one team needing to win.
Why do Arsenal persist in trying to score the 'perfect' goal? Never mind, Emery will be very happy.

If I remember it well, he played two advantages when Villarreal players tried to stop arsenal’s counterattacks by pulling shirts, none of which were booked later. Other time he was great.
As for the final, if no second timer and consider the experienced one, I can’t think of anyone else but Turpin.

That's the new law this season, if the referee plays advantage on a stopping a promising attack offence, which a shirt pull almost always is, they are not allowed to go back and caution for it.
