Very tight
He's offside. MM in it but a correct call. Impossible for Danny or Hessel to see in real time. Another masterclass from Danny and his team in my humble opinion. Jan made a couple of excellent calls in the first half as well. Disallowed goal for scoring with hand. Well done Danny & team. Observer will be very happy with that performance
Has Danny Makkelie got a new whistle style. He used to have his whistle on a landlord on his right hand. Now he holds it.
Yes he is experimenting with the finger thing - I don't know what it's called. First time was at the weekend domestically and then 2nd time today. I did moan at him about using the 1 handed advantage signal tonight as well!
It's a Molten Valkeen on a flip-grip! Very nice whistle to use, no doubt getting used to it before the world cup where they appear to be semi-standard issue.
Nice to whistle with but I think lanyard helps draw cards quicker.
Surely its not a must the World Cup. Both Taylor and a Oliver use lanyards. In fact most if not all English referees bar Mike Dean do
From an 'outsider' perspective, the whistle lanyard feels like a very English thing. Barely anyone in Aus uses a lanyard, and Jarred always looks somewhat out of place in the prem without one!
That said, maybe it's us who are the outsiders on that regard...
I've noticed Oliver carries a Fox40 classic and a Valkeen on his lanyard in some matches. I've found the Valkeen is generally easier to hear in the 'bigger' matches with jam-packed stadiums compared to the Fox40. That said, I personally find the Fox40 as having a greater whistle tone variation.
