Retired Soccer Referee Cork

Retired soccer referee in #Cork Ireland 🇮🇪

[Retired Soccer Referee Cork @CorkReferee]

The following, I am only writing as I am no longer refereeing.
I would like to take this opportunity to ask the head referee inspector for the Cork region (lead observer) to resign from his position.

🚨💣 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄: UEFA are said to be extremely impressed with Daniel Siebert’s performance in the Champions League Final.

Sources close to the referee claim his display is internally regarded as one of the finest officiating performances in Champions League Final history.

Meanwhile, there is significant surprise within FIFA that Siebert has not been selected to officiate at the World Cup.

The areas that could be applied at local level should be for the 2026-2027 season onwards.

I would like to see it tried at least.

[DanWood Inc. @DanTrades2020]

@aaroncikaya Heard that Clattenberg apparently previously suggested reversing the decision if done for time wasting. Absolutely love that idea.

[Retired Soccer Referee Cork @CorkReferee]

You get all of that in local leagues in Cork as well, it’s just not highlighted. How often have we seen teams over the decades try to destroy referees careers for making decisions they (the teams) did not like.

🚨🎙️ Gary Neville on the officiating in the Champions League final:

“Arsenal fans have come pouring out on social media again, screaming that the referee was against them – the first-half whistle blown just as Saka was about to take that corner, the extra-time decision on Madueke, the whole lot. It’s the same old story with this lot – siege mentality, conspiracy theories, the lot.

But let’s be honest: the referee did a good job tonight. That first-half whistle? Arsenal had been wasting time all half with their deep block and slow build-up – he was spot on to blow it when Saka was taking forever. And the big one in extra time? Madueke went down too easily under minimal contact from Mendes. No clear foul, nothing clear and obvious. VAR and the ref got the big calls right.

Arsenal led early through Havertz but couldn’t finish the job and lost on penalties. So learn the laws of the game and stop being so entitled. Suck it up, move on, and stop blaming the officials every single time you don’t win. You’ve got to take responsibility for your own performance instead of this constant moaning. That’s football – sometimes you just lose.”

And if it is given against Arsenal, Arteta says “It is not a handball”

[Goals Xtra @GoalsXtra]

Arteta says "it is handbal" https://t.co/va0tHHkPEr

[Retired Soccer Referee Cork @CorkReferee]

Take into consideration that the referee has to make a split second decision based on what they have seen. I do agree with @RefereeHalsey here.

[Retired Soccer Referee Cork @CorkReferee]

It does not matter if it was the first foul, that is not an excuse to justify one’s actions.

Gördüğü kırmızı karta "Bu yaptığım ilk faul" Diyerek itiraz eden kadın futbulcunun müdahalesi kameralara böyle yansıdı.

[Retired Soccer Referee Cork @CorkReferee]

Do managers really believe that such behaviour will influence a referee to change their minds and award a decision to their team?

[The 44 ⚽️ @The_Forty_Four]

Correct decision not to give the penalty✅

Madueke wraps his left arm around Mendes’ arm

Well done referee👏👏👏

[David Simpson @WhistleBlowerDK]

People really need to stop analyzing the refereeing when they don’t have knowledge, perspective, or understanding.
