Referee errors in the 28th round of the RPL: ​​analysis of Igor Fedotov

There are only two rounds left until the end of the season, so every referee’s mistake can seriously affect the alignment in the table. In the 28th round that ended yesterday, CSKA, Akhmat and Ufa can make claims against the judges. Moreover, “Ufa” – not directly. It’s just that the decision of referee Vasilyev influenced the result of the match of Rotor, the rival of the team from Bashkiria. Arbitrator Igor Fedotov, who continues to develop his YouTube channel, analyzed the work of the judges in each match of the round.

The floor is given to Fedotov.

Rubin – Dynamo 2: 0

Meshkov worked, Voloshin at VAR. In principle, Meshkov had a good game, but not without mistakes. Krasnaya Samoshnikov was shown absolutely to the point. There is a flight phase, then a ricochet, and then the Rubin player hit his opponent with his foot above the ankle. From Meshkov’s position, it is yellow, I understand him, but for VAR it is red. Voloshin intervened correctly. On the replay, Meshkov saw that there was speed, aggression, flight phase, straight leg and spikes as weapons. It doesn’t even matter what the leg is on the weight and where he got to. Samoshnikov jumped on purpose. If you look at the whole match, the more decided is the ticket to the European cups, Meshkov coped well. But in a key episode, he showed a yellow card. Score – 7.9.

Rotor – Akhmat 1: 0

Vasiliev worked in the field, Lyubimov was at VAR. In the place of the leadership of the RFU, I would have presented Vasilyev – he intervened in the alignment of forces in the table, did not appoint an obvious 11-meter strike. What is this if not the bias of the judge? At the 85th minute, a penalty kick should have been awarded to the Rotor’s goal. I look at the position of Vasiliev, who saw everything, and I have a question: do they have no conscience at all ?! Or no qualifications? This is a pure penalty! The Rotor player did not play the ball, he was late and simply knocked down an opponent. It is impossible to explain! A week ago, it was clear that before the end of the championship miracles would begin on the bends. The judges definitely have their own interest, so it is simply impossible to make mistakes. And referee Vasiliev should be called for a polygraph, let him get nervous. If Rotor had not won, it would hardly have risen above Ufa.

I’m sure the judge was wrong on purpose. Some forces were involved and the judges were motivated by money. How else to explain this? The Rotor player did not have time to play the ball and knocked down an opponent. Perhaps the referees are just pawns in this game, but this is a mess. Although I expect that Vasiliev will be otmazhil and said that for Lyubimov this is not an obvious and obvious mistake. Score – 7.9.

CSKA – Ufa 1: 1

At the 34th minute, Kazartsev did not show a yellow card to the hosts’ player – there you can talk about a rough game. And on the 86th minute, when the score was 1: 1, Kazartsev had to award a penalty kick to the gates of “Ufa”. There are many such moments, VAR has already corrected such mistakes – this is a foul by negligence, the defender did not have time and stepped on the opponent’s foot. Why didn’t Zhabchenko intervene and invite Kazartsev to watch the replay? He needs to prove, he took someone’s place in the RPL! And by such actions, he will not prove anything to anyone. Score – 7.8.

Krasnodar – Sochi 1: 3

Sidenkov played the match well, there was a tough moment in the third minute – Zabolotny shot on goal, the defender put out his hand, but the referee decided that the ball hit the head. Here VAR worked, it was necessary to appoint a penalty, which in the end Sidenkov did. In the 78th minute, Cabella was correctly removed – he tried to disrupt the fast attack of the opponent. Yes, a short hold, but this is unsportsmanlike behavior. Score – 7.9.

Khimki – Ural 1: 0

On the 13th minute, the Khimki player made a tackle. First, he played the ball, then the leg hit the lawn, after which he hit the opponent’s shin. It’s a red card for me. For UEFA and FIFA, it is also red. Moskalev showed yellow, but for the VAR, on which Kazartsev worked, this is not an obvious and obvious mistake.

But when in the match between Akhmat and Khimki the Khimki player was attacked, Moskalev called Kazartsev to watch this moment, and Kazartsev remained unconvinced. Apparently, they have their own graters. Score – 8.4.

Zenit – Lokomotiv 6: 1

Karasev played a good match. On Dziuba’s goal – my personal opinion is that this is a foul: there was a movement by Dziuba’s hand towards Rybus, the goal could not be counted. But this is not a clear and obvious mistake, VAR should not have intervened.

The penalty against Lokomotiv for a foul on Dziuba was awarded correctly. The Lokomotiv footballer did not play the ball, but knocked Dziuba down. Pablo’s yellow card is also shown correctly – Dziuba could score a goal. Karasev figured out the episode. And Loko’s goal against Zenit was scored according to the rules, Kamano did not foul. Score – 8.4.

Rostov – Tambov 2: 0

Panin worked at the match, in the 89th minute the player of “Rostov” was knocked down when he burst into the opponent’s penalty area. Panin ordered a 11-meter kick, but Kukuyan, who was on VAR, intervened, he believed that the foul happened before the penalty area. I disagree with that, the foul was on the line. Panin made his decision in a good position. It is a VAR problem that the 11-meter is not assigned.

In the 92nd minute, Rostov’s player burst into the penalty area, there was contact with an opponent, and it seemed to many that the player fouled the guests. But on the replay it is clear that it was he who was the first on the ball. This is a game encounter. Score – 8.3.

Arsenal – Spartak 1: 2

Ivanov worked here and did well. All the yellow ones were on the case, he understood. Apparently, he drew conclusions after the removal of Vilkov and wants to work further. His score is 8.4.
