Re: The Wurst is yet to come : generally jaundiced jottings from
German jaunts.

Two of the referees retiring - Markus Schmidt and Guido Winkmann
- have accepted an invitation to become Video Assistants, in
which capacity they will be joined by Markus H�cker, who has
retired as a Bundesliga assistant.
There are two promotions to the Bundesliga: Dr Matthias
J�llenbeck (34) from Freiburg and Tobias Reichel (35) from
Stuttgart.
Their places in the 2. Bundesliga are taken by Robin Braun (25)
from Wuppertal and Florian Lechner (30) from Hornstorf. Patrick
Hanslbauer (30) will continue to receive occasional appointments
in this division, as will this season Franz Bokop (31) and Dr
Max Burda (31).
In addition to the two promoted officials, Messrs Braun and
Lechner, three others will leave the 3. Liga list to become
assistants: Jonas Weickenmeier (32) to replace H�cker in the
Bundesliga, and Tobias Fritsch (30) representing Baden and Asmir
Osmanagic (29) from Stuttgart.
As previously, there seems to be a strong correlation between
departures and those promoted to the 3. Liga. Four federations
have a straight replacement:

Mario Hildenbrand (25) from Wertheim representing Baden replaces
J�llenbeck, Marc Philip Eckermann (24) from Winnend takes
Osmangic's place representing W�rttemberg, Nico Fuchs (26) from
Odenthal takes over from Braun representing Niederrhein and
Christian Ballweg (25) from Zwingenberg from Weickenmeier for
Hessen. The one exception is in the North-East region, where
Lechner, from the North, is replaced by Richard Hempel (23) from
Gro�naundorf, in Saxony in the South.

For more than 20 years, at the start of each season, I have
bought the Kicker Bundesliga Sonderheft, often in Germany, but
occasionally online. This year travel to Germany is still tricky
and attempts to buy online have failed, as it has proved
impossible to input GB as my home country. I therefore conacted
Kicker by email, receiving the reply that they could not help
me, as sales to Britain had been discontinued - BECAUSE OF
BREXIT! Perhaps Boris might nip over to pick up a copy for me -
or maybe not.

Any help ?

Many thanks for the idea, nemesis. I'm afraid, though, that that
seems a bit too expensive for what it is. I shall keep thinking.

For reasons that I don't begin to understand it seems to have
become surprisingly difficult to send books between the EU and
the UK. If my recent experiences are anything to go by, it is
harder than it used to be send books between the UK and the
Soviet Union in the 1970s and 1980s.

Marco Fritz has retired from Germany;s FIFA Referees List,
having reached the age of 45. His place is taken by Robert
Schr�der, at the advanced age (for Germany) of 37. In December
2012 I saw him in the Regionalliga Nord twice in two days -
Friday night and Saturday afternoon. He struck me then as one of
the better referees seen at that level, but even so, this
promotion comes as a slight surprise.

Anthony Taylor is 44 and 45 this Autumn. I presume this means
that as of this time next year he'll be off the FIFA list?
[/quote]
He's likely to get at least one if not 2 +1 year(s)
I think the Bundesliga they have to retire after x seasons, they
always used to at least, so I am sure someone will know the up
to date on that.

Marco Fritz was always a bit-part player in FIFA terms and
unlikely to be offered a FIFA extension, though I believe he
will still be listed as VAR. The Bundesliga has a fixed
retirement age of 47/8 - I am not aware of any restriction on
the length of tenure. Some quarter of a century ago, stays in
the 2. Liga tended to be short - those who had not made the step
up were discarded.
It was in Italy where non-FIFA referees used to be - and
possibly still are - limited to 10 seasons in Serie A.

If I have understood them correctly, the latest version of the
Italian regulations for referees on the Serie A/B list make no
mention either of the ten-season limit or, indeed, of the
compulsory retirement age of 45 that applied until recently.
There continue, however, to be strict limits on length of
service for referees in Serie C and Serie D (four and five years
respectively, I believe).

The referee changes in Germany have been announced.
Benjamin Cortus (41) has been removed from the Bundesliga list
after 75 matches in 7 seasons, but will continue as a Video
Assistent.
His place is taken by Timo Gerach (36) from Landau, who on the
one occasion I saw him was OK, but not special.
Elsewhere there was some good news: The excellent Tom Bauer was
one of three referees promoted to the 2. Bundesliga, the others
being Patrick Schwengers and the previously unheard of (in this
quarter, at least) Richard Hempel.
To add to the good news, Felix Weller is one of eight referees
promoted to the 3. Liga. He will be joined there by Daniel
Bartnitzki, Leonidas Exuzidis, Timon Oliver Schulz, Felix
Prigan, Jarno Wienefeld and Tobias Wittmann and one
"Schiedsrichterin", Fabienne Michel.
