We do the "colouring in" of posts to make it easier for everyone
to spot the key appointments. If you're going to colour in then
please do all of it and not just half of it!! Thank you [emoji8]
Your helpfulness is appreciated. [emoji5]
The colour guide:
Red - all English teams and match officials, delegates &
observers.
Blue - all Scottish teams and match officials, delegates &
observers.
Orange - all Welsh teams and match officials, delegates &
observers.
Green or lime green - all Irish and Northern Irish teams and
match officials, delegates & observers.
Purple - probably the most important ones not to miss out given
who the forum owner is...
- all Hungarian teams and match officials, delegates &
observers.
- all Ethnic Hungarian teams and match officials, delegates &
observers, wherever they are from.
- the bmb absolute favourites list - only 3 observers - it used
to be all foreign based fav referees as well but no-one could
keep up with the current favs list so they got quietly dropped,
fair enough...
In terms of Match officials - István Kovács is ethnic Hungarian,
so is his #2 AR Ferencz Tunyogi. Mihai Marica his #1 AR isn't
but the tendency is to put him purple as well for ease. Szabolcs
(Roland) Kovács is István's little brother and therefore also
ethnic Hungarian.
In terms of teams FC DAC (Slovakia) and Sepsi Osk
(Romania/Székelyföld) are both ethnic Hungarian. There are
others but they never reach European tournaments! Nor do Sepsi
very often but yeah!
The 3 exceptions to the Hungarian rule are bmb's absolute
favourites These observers are Costas (Kostás) Kapitanis,
Alexandru Deaconu & Kyros Vassaras. Poor Costas always gets
forgotten [emoji22]
I hope the list helps. Not everyone will recognise ethnic
Hungarians who also have a dual nationality that they are
normally listed as. The teams - well unless you religiously
follow Hungarian football you'd probably not be aware and well
not many people follow it to be honest! They are less important
than the teams and match officials etc.
