General Discussion / Re: AFCON Final
« on: Mon 12 Feb 2024 12:25 »
He never looked to have control of the match. There were a few flashpoints where I thought it could go completely, but somehow the players showed sense. unlick the Nigeria manager, who should have gone for his outburst.

General Discussion / Re: QPR v AFCB - Rebecca Welch

Just for Smithy, wore yellow, which was a dreadful call but the only dreadful one she made!

Silly question - does the referee get to make this call, or are they instructed what colour to wear for TV?

Only Captains are allowed to approach The Referee!!

Hopefully, the goalkeepers won't be Captains anymore... Especially for attacking penalties. They would have to walk 100 yards to have a conversation about a potential penalty, then go 100 yards back afterwards. Boy, they will be tired.

Otherwise, if they are not the Captain, perhaps they will stay in their box (literally) and not go for mass-con around the referee.

General Discussion / Re: Sheikhs of Araby ?
« on: Fri 29 Sep 2023 12:33 »
Going on X / Twitter, there are lots of posts about people wanting them to go.

But the fun would be who to replace them with, given the comments on various sites about the standard of EFL and NL referees.

I love Halsey comments that they would need to increase the referees pay to £250k pa to retain them. I would to see what the EPL managers would say if we lost the top of the EPL referees due to the increased salary on offer. Do you think Klopp and the other managers would say - lets give an extra £XX M to PGMOL to retain and develop referees and then it stops us retaining Salah on increased wages?

Absolutely hilarious! Although the claim that VAR is artificial intelligence may strike a chord with fans everywhere!

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/national/23767682.artificial-intelligence-replace-referees-within-30-years---expert/

Referees could be replaced by robots within the next 30 years, an expert in the field believes.

Artificial intelligence is already prominent in officiating, with the use of VAR and goalline technology, but it is expected to heavily increase in the future.

With more high-quality data available, it could be possible for matches to be officiated by an AI-powered machine, taking away the need for an on-field human referee.

...

Robocop - anybody? I don't think we will be playing football in the same way in 30 years time anyway

International Appointments / Re: 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup
« on: Thu 17 Aug 2023 13:19 »
Wow - that surprises me! Often 3rd place games are given as political appointments - see the Qatari official in mens tournament in 2022. I was expecting one of the African officials to get it.

I am now less sure about Staubli getting the final, which I was certain about before - would they give both appointments to UEFA officials?

While it should go to a UEFA official, I think that it will be either the other USA referee (Katja Koroleva) or a South American referee (María Carvajal of Chile).

On the wording about caution procedures, does it start to allow the "just taking the number" and re-starting the game?

A message sent out to the Step 2 -6 observers:

Observing colleagues,

Ahead of the big kick off I thought I would provide you all with a short overview of the areas of technical focus in time for the new season. The below should come as no surprise to any of you as we ask you to focus your minds ready for the new season and for us to keep pace with the growth and evolve of the modern-day game that our officials work within. We are also in the process of sharing the below with the clubs, leagues and competitions from Step 2 – 6 to ensure that everybody is aware.
________________________________________________________________

Laws of the Game amendments

Whilst largely minor, small and cosmetic in detail please make sure that you have taken the time to read, digest and fully understand the IFAB law amendments for the season. These have been delivered (and are being delivered) to all referees at Step 2 – 6, Step 2 Observers, FA CORE referees. The link can be found here. https://www.theifab.com/law-changes/latest/

Physical threshold on foul challenges

Player safety will always remain our number one priority. Whilst there can be occasions where our actions as referees prevents misconduct sometimes, we acknowledge that this is not always possible. We therefore must strive to ensure that our decision-making accuracy and appropriate issue of sanction to be of a really high standard.

During the 2022/23 season we saw examples of where our sanctions were sometimes too severe and equally some occasions where our disciplinary sanction was not accurate and severe enough. To aid and assist your learning, understanding and provide clarity of view we are sharing a number of foul challenge and expected outcome clips via the FA Refereeing community.

Time delay and time consumption tactics

From the top of the game downwards there is a real drive and focus on the address of players who commit clear and deliberate tactics to consume/waste time. Football stakeholders are aligned in their views in wanting referees to take strong actions against players where we deduce their actions are clear, deliberate and impactful on delaying the restart of the game and wasting time for tactical advantage. Clips and expected outcomes will be loaded onto the FA Community to aid and develop understanding.

Participant behaviour

We are at a point in time in the game where everybody is aligned with their view that it is no longer acceptable to accept the unacceptable. For far too long we have normalised the poor behaviour towards match officials from some of the game's participants. Whilst there is still a strong need for pro-active communication and preventative management, there is need for match officials to be stronger generally in their address of players and coaches who are confronting them in an angry, aggressive and confrontational manner.

Players and coaches who make a conscious choice to run at match officials at speed to question, challenge and be critical of decisions and or performance should be dealt with accordingly. Clips and expected outcomes will be loaded onto The FA Community to aid and develop understanding.

Stricter calculation of added time

You will perhaps be aware that there is a strong push from the top level of the game for match officials to take a more accurate and stricter calculation of added time. Whilst at step 2 – 6 we are perhaps not anticipating a total replication of what we will see in the Premier league/Women’s super league and international competition we must work hard to be aligned with the ethos and principle that guess work from officials on the time needed to be added needs to stop. Where possible please be more accurate with the time added on at this level of the game.

With pro-active player management and the address of time consumption tactics the need to add additional time should naturally reduce but we do anticipate a slight increase at least for a short-term period whilst players and coaches adjust their behaviour. We will continue to monitor this through the review of observation/club reports, matchday coaching and development visits from our professional workforce.

Caution and send off procedure

The old process of taking each caution/send-off procedure as an opportunity to slow the game unnecessarily is obsolete, outdated, unhelpful and no longer recommended. The Laws of the Game provide no prescriptive way of which a referee should follow when cautioning and sending off players and we therefore remind everybody to be aware that the emphasis should be on identification (be clear who is being cautioned), the disciplinary sanction being issued, and the relevant and accurate note being taken. Other than in the exceptional need of where a referee may need to calm the temperate of the game down – the routine procedure of cautioning and send off of any player should take a matter of seconds. This does not compromise the administration of denoting name/number etc which is still required to be completed before the game is restarted.

The issue of quick and efficient sanction to a player with minimal communication is often more powerful, sends a stronger message to other participants as well as defusing the incident and potentially guarding against the escalation of the situation and further misconduct developing.

Further clarification regarding observer expectations regarding the management of the cautioning procedure is being shared on The FA Observer Community and within the appendix of the Steps 3-6 Match Observer Report Writing Manual.

16th June.



20:45 CET - Budapest (Szusza Ferenc Stadion)
BELARUS - ISRAEL | Group I
Referee: Jarred Gavan Gillett (ENG)
Assistant Referee 1: Simon Peter Bennett (ENG)
Assistant Referee 2: Neil Davies (ENG)
Fourth Official: Michael Salisbury (ENG)


Will this be Gillett first European match (for countries)?

The Champion's League final invite is a nice gesture, but a better gesture, or rather action, would have been to guarantee him safe passage onto his flight, or at least into the airside part of the airport.  Simon Jordan, who is actually quite supportive of referees, suggested that as there are so many private jets in use by the UEFA bigwigs and sponsors to travel to these games they could easily accommodate the match officials, and avoid them having to use the public terminals completely.
[/quote]

Probably the first time, we have seen this level of abuse for the match officials in an airport. Hopefully UEFA will have learnt from this and either get a private jet to fly back the officials (as they are now coming from one country) or get them into the first class / private lounges, where the idiots are not.

I know this is a referee forum BUT, it was the miss on the open goal by the Barnsley player in ET which cost them the game, not either decision.

Both were judgement calls - the RC was a 60/40 call for a RC (and I agree t was a RC), but it would have supported a YC as well.
The penalty - Robinson had a clear view of it, and would have been talking to the VAR during the review as to what he saw, so difficult under the C & O E rules to overturn such a clear view (but I think he got this wrong).

Well not the most impressive performance - he should have cautioned a SW late in the game. After a foul, he took a shot well over the bar and shouted "F*** **F" (yes, I read his lips); and some other 50/50's I felt went the wrong way.

We do it the easy way in Hungary - no elite refs, no elite teams. Saves all the bother!
I think some people (idiots) on Twitter think the same about the English Refs !!!!
