I get the logic about careless with a bad result. I remember Son doing a clear YC challenge that led to Gomes planting badly and breaking his leg, so Atkinson changed his own call to a red card that then got overturned after the game But this type of challenge can go extremely badly, extremely easily. There is no place in the game for seeing an aerial player going for a header while you have no chance to get it so you make no attempt to go up for one and instead stick your shoulder/butt into the player in the air. All the concern about head and neck injuries yet this is not properly legislated. But I assume I’m in the minority here so fair enough
but not every undercut foul is like that . . . My basketball experience and the danger of undercuts there may well affect my view of the play. I would caution thr play in the clip in my games. I think going under a player in the air like that is an action in disregard of the danger and should be cautioned, not merely a bad result.
Two incidents I wanted to bring up 1. ekstraklasa DOGSO red card, this referee has the fastest, smoothest red card I’ve seen a referee give. https://v.redd.it/mnrhv8rv6nkd1 2. Ligue 1 Lyon-Monaco this week. Frappart gave a player a yellow card at 90+4 for taking a free kick despite her telling him to wait for the whistle. And he ended up getting 2CT in 90+7 https://streamin.one/v/cb9b6bf5 I only watched 90'+, so I don't know if he was on a short leash for dissent from the rest of the match, but I don't think I've ever seen that before. Anyone have any thoughts on when you might issue a player a YC for this, and what category it would go under? I assume dissent.
One of the best pieces of advices I got from a National Referee Coach was when a imminent DOGSO/SPA situation is happening, have that call already going off in your head "red, red, yellow, yellow, red, red, red, red, etc." so when it happens, you'll be ready. But... on the other hand, that guy was butter.
I do the same, although there is the chance that circumstances change at the moment the actual foul happens and can trick us. And yet it is commonplace to see referees delay and fumble around in their pocket for the card they’re giving out. This guy did it even with his card being in his velcroed shirt pocket. Great stuff
So years and years ago I was an AR for Geiger at Regional finals. While he was dealing with some "kissing and hugging" going on the penalty area I had the sweeper punch the center forward in the back on the head at the midfield stripe. Geiger took his time to sort out the pleasantries and then when things settled down he immediately back-peddled the entire distance to the center circle. He then showed the red and the defender left the field and not a word of dissent by either the player or the bench-area and he actually rolled his eyes at me knowing he got caught. I knew from that moment that Geiger was going places, he was smooth.
Marco Rose tossed about 30 minutes in for two dissent bookings in the Leverkusen-Leipzig game today. He apparently had a hard time finding a place to watch the remainder of the proceedings. https://www.bavarianfootballworks.c...marco-rose-ejected-bayer-leverkusen-fan-wirtz
Lest we believe only the EPL has problems, the global controversy this week seems to be in La Liga, with the action from Enrick at 1:56 below somehow only getting a yellow and check completed:
Huge SAOT moment in La Liga as Atletico gets the equalizer against Real Madrid. Called offside on the field. https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/com...mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
No SAOT decisions really even need to be discussed anymore. It is now 100% objective. No controversy whatsoever.
Mourinho doing Mourinho things, apparently agitated over an offside decision he felt was incorrect, Mourinho places a laptop with a freeze frame image from a tactical camera in front of a sideline camera. The AR signaled the delayed offside and SAOT backed it up. https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/41525966/jose-mourinho-protests-var-puts-laptop-front-cameras The highlight is about at 5:17 in the video.
At what point does the referee call encroachment on the defending player (who is almost inside the penalty area right behind the kicker). I understand that there may be no impact, but isn’t the defender being that close inherently impacting the kick?
Attaching the Law change for reference, I don't think the intent is for simply *being there* to be enough for the offense to be sanctioned. The kicker is unimpeded and the defender isn't even in his periphery, much less close enough to be a distraction. He's still 6+ yards away at the moment the ball is struck.
Uhh. No! That is not remotely close to impacting the kick. It’s simply stupid by the defender, because if he gets (or challenges for) a rebound, itks a fresh PK.
The keeper must want to kill his defenders. But incident number two has some great Foul/whistle/greater foul discussion possibilities. 1843369651147039081 is not a valid tweet id
1843011129897017369 is not a valid tweet id So this happened over the weekend in Nice-PSG. The ref (Brisard) gave an ordinary foul, and subsequently a YC for dissent to PSG.
Well, Dutch fans angry about KNVB decision to tone down the punishment on PSV coach Peter Bosz from 1 match suspension (too little in my opinion) to a suspended 1 match ban for two years. He was charged for criticizing (more like abusive language and that in the KNVB's promotional Week of the Referee)) Makkelie during and after the match against Sparta. — WG1908⚪ ⚫ (@bertinewil22245) October 18, 2024 KNVB, Bosz and PSV are making a complete fool of themselves here. Good luck to all referees this weekend on the amateur pitches. — Chrissepter (@Chrissep2024) October 18, 2024 You don't expect double standards again, coaches have just been suspended because they commented on the referee this season — TILBURG 1896 (@1896_tilburg) October 18, 2024 What a shame — ferdy (@ferdypoelman) October 18, 2024 So every coach has a free pass to shit about a referee with impunity. The KNVB was #respect — JW0418 (@jwboot) October 18, 2024 So another criminal on probation!! Pfff.... What nonsense! Who do they think they are at the #knvb!!! What a organization!! — Boris van Rosmalen (@BvRosmalen1986) October 18, 2024 Bosz set a very derogatory tone towards Makkelie. But gets away with it again — Kroes Control ❌❌❌ (@RefereeHonest) October 18, 2024 In amateur football, you get suspended for less
Not a league perse but watching the 2024 U17 World Cup and I see this being flagged as a goal from the AR. The Ugandan CR gives the goal and the England manager immediately requests a video review per the new Football Video Support being trialed.[1] * If I had to guess, the manager would have probably done a request regardless, probably. But to have the AR flag it while that far away and you're sure? [1] https://inside.fifa.com/technical/football-technology/news/what-is-football-video-support 34 - Mexico manager initiates their own video review for a penalty for which the CR denies and sticks with no call on the field. I agree. Not much there. I think the CR is announcing it to the stadium? Because the Mexican coach is still questioning if there's a penalty so either mechanics are not there or there's a miscommunication.
Penultimate weekend of Chinese Super League had many foreign refs in the "important games". MAKHADMEH (JOR), HATTAB (SYR), and ALJAAFARI (SGP) were the foreign refs utilized. This is the first time they have done so since pre-Covid.
Fastest red card ever? It looks like it was given on the field live which is impressive. Really curious how that would be dealt with in CL match, EPL or MLS. I think there is enough wiggle room to save the elbow hit the chest instead of neck/yellow to justify no red card.
There was some controversy in France after this red card in the 20th minute of the big match Marseille vs PSG. Letexier said in an interview after the match that, before giving the red card, he looked at the injury of the cleat marks on Marquinos’s torso when the player lifted his t-shirt, and that this evidence confirmed his real-time perception that the challenge endangered Marquino’s safety. He said that both his real-time perception of the challenge and the visible consequence of the challenge equally contributed to his decision to send off Harit.
Looks like a great send-off - but difficult to see from the stands. Some fans may be upset, but I don't see a controversy. It was proper.
