Would love to see Kassai get it or the 3rd/4th game - apart from
the Man City game, where Bognár called a pen wrong & therefore
Kassai called a pen wrong (official in Hungary as to which of
them made the call & confirmed by the appointments since then)
he's had a great season. 43 games in total, 19 in the NB1, 3 in
the NB2, 19 in the Saudi League to gain VAR experience amongst
the 43. Only 1 really bad error (yes there have been other
errors but not major ones) and the bad error was called by one
of his team and not him, although as ref he takes responsibility
for it. I know it is doubtful though, thanks Tamás! :-\

Lahoz would be my odds-on, even if Spain is adjacent to
Portugal. Though I haven't looked at the appointments for the
qualifiers, what's to stop someone being appointed 48 hours
after a previous game? That's "standard" if you're in the Europa
League on a Thursday & then back in your country for a Saturday.
Otherwise, if England lose then I'd think Kuipers. And if the
Spain/Portugal neighbour relationship is an issue then Zwayer.
With others away in Poland for the U20, the options (with the 48
hour gap) are limited. Kassai would be a shoe-in were it not for
his team's most recent form. And if England do go through, would
UEFA appoint Collum rather than Lahoz? This is the most
fundamental issue - perception!

Totally agree. Bognár let him down very badly, like Vad did in
the Euro's 2012. His 2 AR's have been performing well but he
does seem to have problems with his AARs letting him down. I
hope Berke will replace Bognár on his team, which would also
provide Berke with some valuable experience. Very talented young
ref as well.

I think that Zwyer was the other possibility who refereed with
VAR in CL.

believe he is retiring this summer so could be a goodbye present

do CL knockout game and I don't think has much VAR experience -
perhaps someone without much VAR use is more likely for 3rd/4th
play-off.

What's your suggestion for the 3.0pm at Goodwood? ;D

I'm not fully convinced about Mallenco's appointment - it seems
a bit too sentimental. He's been refereeing for a long time but
I'm not sure that his international career has been especially
distinguished. I think the only major tournament he's refereed
at was the 2010 World Cup where I thought he was pretty poor
(Germany V Serbia anyone?) - I don't think he did the Champions
League final and I don't remember him doing too many CL
semi-finals, and I also don't think he's done a CL knockout
stage game this season.

Readingfan....I concur with your comments. Sentiment, good bye
present, probably has played a part but what it really tells us
is the level of seriousness with which this hybrid competition
is taken.

I am intrigued by the appointment of Michael Fabbri as VAR for
the third-place play-off. At one point in the season that has
just finished he got into trouble (and may even have been given
a brief suspension) for perceived failings in his role as VAR in
Serie A. But I suppose the universally acknowledged giants of
VAR are currently deployed elsewhere.

Good for Mallenco. He's one of my favourite UEFA referees that I
think is generally a safe pair of hands that doesn't stop/start
games too much or flash the cards. Shame to see him go really.

I think a very fair appointment, he has been an elite referee
for a number of years and is a good send off for him.
