With the World Cup just a few weeks away, I can see the benefit
of keeping the Elite referees away from the top teams who they
might be due to referee.
I remember they used to do that for international friendlies
just before a major competition (which is essentially what this
round of fixtures is) - you'd often get officials who weren't
going to the tournament doing the big games

Baffles me people keep referring to these games as nothing more
than friendlies considering the direct impact they have on Euro
2024.
István was outstanding in his match - really outstanding not
just my rose tints outstanding! Even the commentators were
praising him.

Absolutely, the rewards for Scotland of not losing tonight are
huge. Guarantees a play off for Euro 2024. Also puts us in pot
2 so means we cannot draw England and France. And would put us
into Group A so likely to get some big teams at Hampden which
commercially could be very lucrative, and while I accept we
probably won't survive in Group A the short term publicity of
being in it could be huge. This is a great competition for
countries like us as it gives us more to hit at. However given
every defender we have is injured, I think we could be
struggling!

ENGLAND - GERMANY
Referee: Danny Makkelie (NED)
Assistant Referee 1: Hessel Steegstra (NED)
Assistant Referee 2: Jan de Vries (NED)
Fourth Official: Sander Van Der Eijk (NED)
Video Assistant Referee:
Assistant Video Assistant Referee:
UEFA Referee Observer: Christopher Lautier (MLT)
UEFA Delegate: Eduard Dervishaj Nelaj (ESP)
Referee Liaison Officer: Adam Kenton (ENG)
I only saw the 2nd half of this and what a 45 minutes it was. I
thought Danny Makkelie was superb, always in control, used VAR
as it should be, played a super advantage when England broke out
of midfield and generally contributed to an exciting half. (PS.
Am I alone in thinking that he he looks just like Arnold
Shwarzenegger as 'The Terminator'?!)

He's certainly fit and I'm sure many of us ladies, and maybe
also some men, will most certainly classify him as hot but not
sure he resembles Arni, who imho is not hot! Nice physique - not
overly muscular, not an ounce of fat on him though - I reckon
his body fat is probably as low as 10-12. Handsome and an
absolutely gorgeous smile <--- very important feature! He's not
quite Filip Glova hot but I'd put him at #2 on my totty list!
Let's hope he (and Filip come to think of it...) doesn't read
RTR [emoji15]
In terms of refereeing, he is a phenomenal referee. Easily top
2/3 in the world. Amazes me that he puts in masterclass after
masterclass and 9/10 makes it look so easy. His man management
is superb, he leads matches, so so good, the only one who comes
close to him in man management terms is István. Can't be easy
when you are at the very top to continue to maintain above
expected levels of performances match after match, that level of
pressure must be immense and speaks volumes about his character.
He's getting some stick elsewhere over the 2 OFR stating he
should have spotted them in real time, well imo the first one
the attacker looks for the contact so he can go down & I can
understand why he played on, 2nd one the stamp to the foot would
have been on his blindside, the player was obscuring his view
and I don't believe he has developed X-ray vision yet, if he has
he will be like the terminator! He wasn't quite at his peak best
last night but when your not the best is still superb, it says
it all really about him as a referee.

Imagine him whistling his matches in police uniform 😛
Top refs are always respected, even when they make mistakes.
That’s how we recognize the best.

I think Edy would send us both to the naughty step permanently

He is superb, but I suspect he will be kicking himself for
missing the two penalties real time and needing VAR to rule him
out. The Maguire one in particular was very clear and I was
amazed he waved it away, especially as he appeared to have a
clear view. That must have been the fastest VAR pitch side
screen check in history, he barely glanced at it, so obvious was
the foul. He obviously hasn't watched any Man Utd games as if
he had he would know what was coming after Maguire mis-controls,
misplaces a pass and then tries to make amends 😂

I could read the dissapointment on Makkelie’s face. He is not
standing a lot in front of that VAR screen. It’s okay to raise
critics, but I was a bit shocked by some indiscriminate critics
on a particular ref blog. Some people seem to enjoy it to burn
down referees. In general, critics are always more harsh and
straightforward when a top flight referee makes a mistake. Easy
targets, for some reason… It stands out because they rarely make
a mistake.
Regarding the OFR’s, from a refereeing perspective we can talk
about two missed PK’s. From a (man-)management perspective, I
think it was good to award those PK’s after OFR. It’s easier to
sell the 1st PK decision against England in a packed Wembley
after rewatching the incident. And I noticed that the German
defender - the one that conceded that 2nd Pk - was still moaning
after the game, FFS!

I thought the German was very lucky to only get a yellow, it was
a straight leg above the ankle, I appreciate the force was
minimal and it was an accident which probably on balance
justifies the yellow call but to debate it was a penalty was
just utterly ridiculous.
