Honduras formally requested FIFA to replace Geiger

Los Catrachos wrote to FIFA about concern that Mark Geiger (photo) will not be able to handle the pressure of the Estadio Azteca after his controversial Gold Cup. The General Secretary of Honduras' FA formally requested a change of referee for Tuesday's World Cup qualification match against Mexico, a change that FIFA declined to make.
Jorge Mejia sent a letter dated Aug. 29 to Gordon Savic, who is the head of FIFA's World Cup qualifiers, requesting that American referee Mark Geiger be replaced by a different official after Geiger's performance in Mexico's 2015 Gold Cup semifinal win. In that game, Geiger gave a dubious red card to Panama's Luis Tejada in the 25th minute, awarded El Tri a controversial penalty late in stoppage time and again called a spot kick in their favor in extra time. FIFA responded that Geiger makes up part of the list of referees eligible to officiate this match and has declined to make a change. Mejia's letter references that contest as a reason the referee is not fit to call a qualifier involving Mexico at Mexico City's Estadio Acteca. “Mr. Geiger committed major errors that favored the Mexican national team and meant the elimination of a Central American team," the letter said. "The pressure that will be put on a central official in a stadium with a capacity of more than 100,000 people will be much greater than that from Mexican fans in the United States who were at the Mexico vs. Panama game." Tuesday's contest could determine whether Honduras advances to the final round of CONCACAF qualification. "We are not putting into doubt the knowledge, the honesty or the talent of the designated official, however for the reasons expressed we ask that Mr. Geiger might be substituted by a referee who might be able to bear the pressure that will be put upon him", Mejia wrote.

Webb: “Video technology could cause remote-controlled referees”

Former 2010 World Cup final referee Howard Webb has claimed that the introduction of video technology could lead to “remote-controlled referees”. Webb was speaking in response to the successful trialing by FIFA of video technology during the Italy-France friendly match, where Dutch referee Bjorn Kuipers admitted that the assistance of Video Assistant Referees (VAR), who had access to replays, aided him in two vital decisions. The first of which occurred after just four minutes, when French defender Djibril Sidibe fouled Italian midfielder Daniele De Rossi. Within ten seconds, Kuipers was informed that a yellow card and not a red would suffice. Kuipers used the assistance of one of his VAR’s in another crucial incident during the match involving a possible penalty. “In the second incident, my VAR advised me seven seconds later not to decide for penalty”, Kuipers said. “The players again accepted immediately. This trust by the players gave me a lot of confidence”. The trial was only experimental with strict guidelines that technology can only be used for penalty, red card, and goal-scoring incidents. Afterwards, FIFA president Gianni Infantino claimed: “We have turned a new page in football’s history book”. Yet with all of the apparent positives to come from the trial, Webb (photo) was still skeptical about the topic of technology, despite the fact that almost every major sport has embraced it. “When the idea of retrospective action was first brought in, it was supposed to be for incidents way off the ball, which no official could possibly have seen, but that is no longer the case”, Webb added. “Now FIFA’s position is changing and trials of video technology are taking place. Of course, we should welcome anything which helps get decisions right, but we have to be careful. If all decisions can be reviewed by video, referees on the pitch become nothing more than remote-controlled referees”.
Webb claims video technology could cause 'remote-controlled referees'
Another topic hot on the agenda of all former referees is the issue of retrospective banning, with former Premier League referee Mark Halsey claiming on twitter that he was told to say he had not seen incidents which he had seen, so that a retrospective ban could commence. Halsey tweeted in response to the Sergio Aguero elbow on Winston Reid, where the Argentine was charged and given a retrospective three-match ban despite the fact that referee Andre Marriner can be seen looking directly at the incident. Writing about the incident in the Times, Webb claimed that he had never been told to say he had not seen incidents when he had, going on to suggest that Halsey could be trying to keep his own name in the news. “The first thing to be clear about is I can say, categorically, that I never came under pressure from the referees’ body to say I had not seen something I had during my refereeing career”, said Webb, a former technical director of PGMOL. “Halsey’s allegation is a significant one. The PGMOL has denied that any referee would come under pressure to lie about an incident but not said much more than that, which may be because they do not want to be drawn into a public row with someone they may feel is trying to keep his name in lights”.

McLeish: “Scotland were cheated out of Euro 2008”

Alex McLeish makes stunning revelation. The former national manager revealed he was called by an Italian journalist who claimed UEFA would not allow the Azzurri to be denied a place at the finals.
Former Scotland manager Alex McLeish has suggested his side were cheated out of a place at Euro 2008. Nearly 10 years on from a last-minute defeat to Italy, McLeish has revealed he took a phone call prior to the crucial match telling him that a Scottish victory would not be favoured by UEFA. The Scots’ dream was cruelly ended when the Italians scored from a questionable stoppage-time free-kick. Now McLeish, who himself won 77 caps for his country, has revealed an Italian journalist told him Europe’s governing body would make sure the world champions qualified instead of his team. The former Rangers boss had initially dismissed the claims but his suspicions grew during the match at Hampden in 2007 when a number of decisions favoured the visiting Italian side. The most contentious decision made by Spanish referee Manuel Mejuto Gonzalez was to award a free-kick to Italy in the final moments of the match, despite Scotland full-back Alan Hutton appearing to be the one who was fouled. The Italians headed home from the free-kick to crush Scottish dreams and leave their passionate fans to watch yet another major tournament from home.
In a BBC documentary, McLeish said he still has his suspicions about the refereeing performance. He said: "In the midweek before the game, I got a call from an Italian journalist. She said, 'Do you really think that UEFA will allow France and Italy not to qualify?' I said, 'Wait a minute. This is a bit controversial. We don't say things like that in Scotland’. She said, 'Listen Mr. McLeish, the whole of Italy is talking about this. If there is a 50-50, the referee will favour the Italians and the French'." McLeish insisted the suspicion around the defeat made it even harder to take. He continued: "It was terrible because I was so convinced about it. That's why the disappointment was absolutely devastating". The 57-year-old's feelings were echoed by his players. Speaking after the match, talisman James McFadden said: "I know you are not supposed to say these things but we were robbed by the referee. There have been some dodgy decisions given against us or not gone our way. It goes to prove that we were not wanted at the big championships. People didn't want us to qualify and they got what they wanted".
In recent years, football has been rocked by a series of scandals involving corruption, fraud and money laundering which has struck right at the top of the international game. Fourteen FIFA executives and officials were arrested in May after investigations over a 24-year period. In December last year, both UEFA president, Michel Platini, and FIFA president, Sepp Blatter, were given eight-year bans from football following an ethics investigation. A UEFA spokesman strongly denied allegations of any biased refereeing: "Mistakes may have been made during the game but decisions did go against each team. Mr. Mejuto Gonzalez is a highly ranked referee and one of the best in the world". Referee Mejuto Gonzalez was challenged about his performance two years after the match, but insisted: "I have nothing against Scottish football".

Polish AR Sadczuk removed from FIFA List

The chairman of the Polish Referees Committee, Zbigniew Przesmycki, asked the president of the Polish Football Association, Zbigniew Boniek, to terminate the contract of Piotr Sadczuk (photo) as a professional assistant referee. Sadczuk (43) used to be AR1 in Pawel Gil’s trio in UEFA games, but he will be removed from the FIFA List. The reason given was “a flagrant violation of the rules for completion of the contract - dishonest approach to contractual obligations”.
In Poland, as part of their contract, professional referees and assistant referees make video observations of referee performances in the second and third divisions. Sadczuk was assigned to assess the work of a fellow referee, Michael Mularczyk. Apparently, he contacted the referee he was assessing in order to come to an agreement regarding the mark, which is absolutely prohibited. The case was described by the portal Weszlo.com. This is not the first problem of the Polish AR. In May 2015, following complaints that he did not complete the interval test, president Boniek requested the Referees Committee to clarify whether Sadczuk passed his fitness tests. This season, he also committed a serious mistake during the match Wisla Krakow - Ruch Chorzow, when the visitors scored a controversial goal and won 2-1.

The French Referees Committee submitted their proposals for the 2017 FIFA Lists. Referee Fredy Fautrel decided to accept a position with the Technical Direction of Refereeing (DTA) and will stop his career at the end of this year. He will be replaced by Francois Letexier (27), who will become the youngest French referee on the international list. Letexier (photo) will also be amongst the three youngest FIFA referees in Europe, along with Sandro Schaerer (SUI, 26) and Michael Oliver (Eng, 26). On the AR list, Mickael Annonier and Philippe Jeanne will be replaced by Julien Pacelli and Bertrand Jouannaud. Frederic Cano, who was Turpin’s AR1 at Euro 2016 and Rio 2016, renounced voluntarily to participate in the selection process for the FIFA World Cup 2018. He will continue on the FIFA List, but was replaced by Cyril Gringore in Turpin’s team.
