We had an interesting evening this evening (Sunday) at Sami Ofer, where Maccabi Haifa scored a great 0:2 over Hapoel BS, thanks to a couple of goals by Dean David. There were several moments of controversy during the 90 minutes and at the end of the game, former referee Liran Liani posted on social media in Visited the refereeing that was tonight between Haifa and B.S.
“A brave referee is needed!”, Liani wrote in the post, “one who is not afraid to remove a player in the early stages of the game even if it is a player of the home team, one who is not afraid to make a difficult and correct decision even if it is a season game, one who judges according to what he sees. Needed Such a brave judge who is not afraid to make brave decisions.”
“The refereeing style we saw tonight is one that tries to stay under the radar,” the former referee continued, “one that rushes to blow the whistle in favor of the home team. A referee should have high mental strength. In the two critical decisions of the first half, ones that could change the game, he rushed Whistle rather for the offense of the attacking player”.
Liani went on to analyze the controversial moves of the game: “The incident in the 21st minute, according to which the referee decided to act as if it was bigger than the game, led to his serious mistake. No matter how leading a referee, he cannot take the law into his hands and decide that in such an event he does not issue a red card direct for a violent game offense”.
“When the defender of Maccabi Haifa, Abdulai Sek, returns a kick on purpose, without the ball it is one card, red! Not yellow, not two yellows in an argument deal for both sides, red. Sharp and smooth. And where was the screen referee? Good question. The screen referee was wrong and misled the The head referee because he was obliged to call the referee to remove the brakeman who knew himself that he was supposed to be removed.”
“In the 53rd minute of the game, Maccabi Haifa’s second goal was scored, after a suspected foul on the goalkeeper,” Liani continued, “the goalkeeper inside the five-point box has a unique defense according to which he must not be challenged, certainly not when he is in the air. There are referees who rush to automatically whistle for a foul on the goalkeeper even when not It was like that and I’m against it.”
“For tonight’s game, the most experienced team that the union currently has,” concluded the former referee, “but unfortunately this team also failed to deliver the game at a satisfactory level.”
