    Okay. THAT is a little more understandable.

  2. MassachusettsRef liked Barciur's post in the thread 2023-24 England Referee Thread [EPL/EFL/Cups+][Rs].

    This was a red card given on the field, not a VAR overturn. So, there is no intervention, or rather, a recommendation of a review, which...

    There is a chance—albeit a small one—that an on-field red card for that in MLS would get reversed. We are simply in bizarro world. I...

    Spent the whole 25 second loop trying to figure out where the evidence was to send that down for SFP, and I don't think I found it after...

    I mean, is that a red? It's an ugly tackle, but it seems like he gets the ball with the first leg and it's the second leg--bent and on...

    If this is accurate, my initial prediction very much becomes live again (and that oracle source on Law5 would have put his first foot...

    Once it's missed live, a VAR can make the argument that, despite the ankle roll, the contact is low enough and the force limited enough...

    Just a reminder that we will have a separate EURO 2024 referee subforum. Working on standing that up, as well as a Copa one. So...

  9. MassachusettsRef liked Orangebarista's post in the thread UEFA Competitions 2023-2024 Referee Discussions [Rs].

    I haven't watched Gozubuyuk in his international games, so I had to read Law5 to understand how he missed the boat. In particular...

    Yeah, on merit, it's really hard to argue with the list. No Sanchez Martinez and no Frappart deny the two appointments that would have...

    So, a WC referee (probably Sampaio) is attending EURO and UEFA is sending their #4 Italian to CONMEBOL? Oh well… Interesting. Other...

    Youth League Final. Sharing not for the decision, but for the commentary. "Nothing he can do." https://www.streambug.io/cv/89e983

    And I forgot this. It would make sense. Though the nature of this competition makes two UEFA referees quite a stretch, don't you...

    What about Meler? Particularly given what he went through.

    What a great call from Mendoza at 70' for the DOGSO-red penalty in LA. There's the slighest of touches on the leg, but it's a hold/pull...

  16. MassachusettsRef replied to the thread UEFA Competitions 2023-2024 Referee Discussions [Rs].

    I'd also add that Rizzoli is in charge of CONCACAF which means he has a role at Copa. Massa/Guida to Copa is starting to grow on me...

    Maybe you just solved the Sanchez Martinez problem! I don't think Soares Dias would appreciate the appointment, but I could be wrong....

    If you're assuming 18+1 and you've got 18 names... isn't there only 1 spot left in your mapping? For what it's worth, I think it's hard...

    Given Everton has a match in hand, one could easily argue today’s result was actually the best possible for Luton. I suppose the...

    One questions if he ever had them.
