Russian chief referee Ivanov resigns

Valentin Ivanov, the head of the Referee and Inspection Department of the Russian Football Union, has resigned from his post, announced the RFU.
According to the press service, Ivanov, who held this post since December 2013, submitted a letter of resignation and it was accepted by the RFU administration. Ivanov came under heavy criticism after October 2 match of the Russian Football Premier League (RFPL) between Spartak Moscow and Zenit St. Petersburg. Heated controversies erupted when Zenit’s left-back Domenico Criscito, who already earned a yellow card, knocked down Spartak’s winger Quincy Promes with the match score standing at 3-2 in favor of the club from St. Petersburg. The incident went unnoticed by the referee Sergey Ivanov. Moreover, during the next attack of Zenit, he awarded a penalty kick on the Spartak goal. The game ended 4-2 and Sergey Ivanov received the lowest possible mark for his refereeing.

De Bleeckere returns as Head Referee in Belgium

More than a year after his dismissal by the Belgian Federation, Frank De Bleeckere agreed to return to his duties as a manager of Belgian referees.
The desire of the Belgian referees, namely the return of Frank De Bleeckere, was realized. After he represented his country at Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup, De Bleeckere was fired in July 2015 due to budgetary reasons. Paul Allaerts succeeded him, but its way of operation was far from unanimity among the referees of the Jupiler League. Some of them, including Sebastien Delferiere or Serge Gumienny, had clearly suggested his departure. Allaerts made their wishes a reality and resigned in June 2016. De Bleeckere, who also holds the role of ambassador of the company Expo Line, which produces the spray used by referees for the World Cup 2014, will aim to improve the image of the Belgian refereeing, absent from Euro 2012 and 2016, as well as the 2014 World Cup, and will be again absent for the 2018 World Cup in Russia since no Belgian referee was pre-selected.

Marciniak: From CORE to EURO

October 12, 2016, 8:04 pm

In a notable first for European refereeing, a graduate of UEFA’s Centre of Refereeing Excellence (CORE) had been selected to officiate at UEFA EURO 2016. Szymon Marciniak, who is 34 and a native of Plock in central Poland, has successfully made the transition from player to match official, and onto the list of 18 referees who took charge of the 51 matches in France. Having refereed since 2002, Marciniak was awarded his international badge in 2011 and in 2015 took charge of the European U-21 Championship final between Sweden and Portugal.
Marciniak’s conversion to refereeing is a unique tale. “As a player, I wasn’t the referees’ best friend,” he says. “During a match, the referee sent me off, I didn’t agree [with his decision], and I said so in not very popular words. I said that he was one of the worst referees that I’d ever met. He replied: ‘OK, if you think it’s an easy job, you try to do it.’ I told him I would – and a couple of weeks after that game, I started a refereeing course. “I met the referee who sent me off a few years later, when I was refereeing in the Polish second division, and I apologised to him because, to be honest, he had made the right decision. Now we are very good friends … He was even fourth official when I refereed an U-21 match after joining the international list”. Marciniak attended the very first CORE course in autumn 2010. His memories are happy ones, and he is grateful to UEFA Referees Committee member and senior course leader David Elleray for his invaluable guidance. “David is special to me, as a mentor and as a person,” Marciniak reflects. “He taught me so much. It was a crucial moment for me, to be given so much knowledge about refereeing at the beginning of my career”. “It was very clear right from the start,” says David Elleray of his former ‘pupil’, “that Szymon was a young man who was very keen to learn. In that sense, he’s a great role model for people because of his willingness to absorb and adjust, which I think is why he impressed us then and has done so well since”.

Collina: “The referee’s shape now is a professional footballer’s shape”

October 13, 2016, 9:31 pm
$

- Firstly, can you reflect a little on Euro 2016? You must have been very happy with the high refereeing standards.
- The standard of refereeing at Euro 2016 was very high. I have to say that four years ago in Poland and Ukraine, the standard was already very high, and it was not easy to improve from that level. But we were confident, because we knew how much work the referees had done, and how committed they were in preparing for the tournament. So it is not a surprise, because I am convinced that if you work hard, the results come. Nevertheless, I am very happy, and I have to thank the referees for their commitment, because we demanded a lot from them in terms of preparation for this tournament… and they were very, very committed.
- There were only three red cards in the tournament, and only one straight red card. Does the higher standard of refereeing go hand in hand with better player behaviour?
- Certainly the number of cards depends on the behaviour of the players. I think something that made a difference, and this was something we had already experienced in 2008 and 2012, was the programme that we ran before the competition, when we visited the national team camps and showed the coaches, staff and players the same instructions that we gave to the referees. The objective was to have everyone on the field of play speaking the same language, so they all knew what to expect.
- High standards do not happen by accident. Can you tell us a little about the preparation that goes into achieving and maintaining these standards?
- There are three pillars of match preparation. Certainly, referees need to know the Laws of the Game and how to interpret them, and we had several seminars before the tournament – in February, then in April, and again before the tournament kick-off. Euro 2016 was particular for this matter, because the IFAB [International Football Association Board] introduced several changes that were really important, such as the new rules on denying a goal-scoring opportunity and the new sanction for handball. Then there’s fitness preparation. For some time, we have been running very accurate monitoring of all our referees through our head of fitness, Werner Helsen, and his staff. They monitor the referees throughout the season, so they know exactly how they are, what the standards are like and what they have to do. So the level of physical preparation [for Euro 2016] was high. Once more, it was really hard or almost impossible to distinguish players from referees, because their shape now is really a professional footballer’s shape. They look like the players that they are refereeing. The third pillar is knowledge of football – the tactical preparation. We have been working on this for some years, trying to give the referees support. For the EURO, we introduced a new role, so we had a team of match analysts: UEFA-licensed coaches who compiled reports on the 24 teams, analysing how they played in different moments of a match and highlighting the technical characteristics of the players. They analysed the teams for six months before the Euro, and before every Euro match one of the analysts briefed the referees at our headquarters, and the team reports were updated during the competition. This gave added value to the referees’ team – not only to the referees, but also the assistant referees, because information concerning offside was also given.
- You spoke about the Euro for only five minutes in your initial presentation. What were the objectives of the pre-season gathering?
- Yes, because as much as we would like to speak about something that was successful, the Euro is over. It’s in the past. We have a very important season ahead of us, starting with the play-offs, one of the key moments of the season. We want to have our referees ready for the beginning of the competition, and also for the group stage of the Champions League and the Europa League. For the women at the pre-season gathering, it is also an important season, even more so because of the Women’s Euro in the Netherlands next year. The aim is to check how they are, and prepare them for the forthcoming season. 
- How are the referees educated, how are they tested, and how important is interpretation of the laws?
- The knowledge is crucial. The pre-season gathering started with a test on the Laws of the Game, particularly concerning the changes. There were two types of test: a written test and a video test, where we want the referees to give us their interpretations of the incidents shown. During your presentations, you reviewed video clips and offered constructive criticism, even when the referees involved were present
- Is that something that happens throughout the season?
- The best way to learn is to see something, and you can learn from the experience you had and this opportunity should also be given to those who did not have this experience. So if we show a clip, and there is something that did not work, this is not to blame the referee, but to offer the experience that this referee had to all the other referees, because the same thing could happen to them next time round. Normally, we do it during our seminars, but, as we cannot have seminars too often, we have implemented a web platform, so that whenever there is something important to be learned, explained or shown to the referees, we create a clip with a comment, and send it to a referee or group of referees. We do the same for assistants and observers. It is not just a matter of saying “this was wrong”, and then giving the reason; for us it is actually more important to give the reason, and we might also say “this was right, and this is the reason”. Positive things can also come from a mistake if you understand the reason.

FIFA introduced this year an updated version of their fitness test, which is more demanding than the previous tests. Prospective referees and assistant referees for the 2018 FIFA World Cup and the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup have to pass even more demanding tests. Here is a comparison between the requirements for "regular"FIFA referees and prospective World Cup referees.


Referees (men and women)

Reference times (7-7-7 m)
FIFA Referees (men): N/A
FWC18 Referees: 4.80 sec
FIFA Referees (women): N/A
FWWC19 Referees: 5.30 sec

The time between the end of Test 1 and the start of Test 2 should be 6 minutes.

Test 2 – Repeated Sprint Ability (RSA) – evaluates the capacity to perform repeated sprints with limited recovery time (60 sec) between runs.
