Domestic Leagues 2023-2024 Referee Discussion [Rs]

Thanks for sharing...very sorry to hear the news.

My favorite referee. Post-Collina, I don't think any other referee was more respected by the players and coaches.

 

This sucks. Without question one of the elite referees of this generation. I hope he will be able to recover so he can end his career on his terms instead of this being his final match. He deserves a lot better than this if it is the end for him.

 

Technically this is AFC champions league. Ronaldo got a penalty awarded to him but then told the ref it wasn’t a penalty

Ronaldo won the penalty but told the referee it not a penalty, showing class on and off the pitch

What do you guys do if this situation arises? Drop ball in the box? Make them take the penalty but they can just deliberately miss?

 

I'm assuming there is VAR in this competition? Kind of weird that we are still kind of asking this question.

He knows that if the penalty is called, the VAR would send him to the monitor and, then, the referee can book him for simulation.

He's doing this to avoid a simulation caution. He knows it's gonna go to VAR.

If the referee says, "no penalty" on the field he gets away with not earning a deserved caution for simulation.

By the way, you do need to listen to the attacker if he says "no penalty there."

 

Wow, Skomina just a few years ago and now Brych too, two legendary referees of their generation with the same injury at the end of their careers. Very sad news.

Greek officials have organized a boycott of Super League matches, protesting a long list of issues concerning safety and perceived lack of response around actions.

I've been watching on YouTube the RFEF's highlights of the second round of the Copa del Rey. Today Arandina (fourth division) upset Cádiz (first division). The field was a bit wet, but I guess they decided it was not unplayable. Plus, everything's on a very tight schedule--Cádiz has a league game on Sunday, for example--so the show must go on. There's also a handball/not handball in the penalty area decision from 2:09.

 

Is three seconds into a match too early for a red card? 🟥

Should Marley Watkins have been sent off for this last night? 🤔#BBCFootball pic.twitter.com/19RsE6jbeN

VAR is supposed to fix everything...

 

I think I can look at it until tomorrow midnight. If I can make the time I will. Don't let @Orange14 start about Nijhuis

 

Wild few minutes on this Serie A match in the dying embers. Watch on Paramount+ starting from the 87th minute.

Very interesting situation for Sozza in Serie A. Foul happens outside the FoP and gives a DFK near touch line. More back and forth between both players.

Paramount+ left a lot out in terms of Sozza and team dealing with an incensed team figuring out the restart. The whole ordeal took 3 minutes. Surprised only one yellow came out. 1 red to a substitute.

Also three reds in the Roma v Fiorentina match.

 

Not keeping up with Law changes, eh?

 

I know.

Foul-like movement. Or embellishment. Or both. Should have clarified.

 

So Steaua had this great goal not given for foul



At 1:40 minute there is the VAR replay.

All the discussion in Romania is of course biased. I too am of course biased but I want to hear outside opinions

 

Napoli-Cagliari Serie A today

https://old.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/18jyecc/replay_and_closer_look_at_oshimen_assist_for/

Question about this... with this style of dribbling, the attacker has put the ball in a situation where no defender can really legally challenge for it? He would either have to high kick, head the ball away, or try to body the attacker off the ball?

 

Of course a defender can legally challenge for a ball while it's bouncing in the air or an attacker is juggling it. You just can't do so carelessly or recklessly, or in a way that's considered playing in a dangerous manner. Based on the positioning of the Cagliari defenders, the risk of potentially conceding a penalty was too great for them to dive in with a speculative chance of getting the ball.

A Cagliari defender could have tried to head the ball away when Oshimen was trying to control the ball when his back was to goal. A defender could have poked the ball away with their toe too when the ball was being controlled from the thighs to feet. Nobody was close enough or had the position to do so. This all happened super fast. Oshimen brought the ball under control and turned very quickly.

Everyone will be on their best behavior on the 29th though.

 

Will the last Turkish League team left playing please turn out the lights after receiving their trophy?

What a clown show.
