Discount the matches as necessary

It shouldn’t surprise us if between now and the end of the season long discount times continue to be repeated in the First and Second division matches. It is the slogan that has been given to the referees of both categories sees the telematic meeting that has been held these last two days by of the Technical Committee of Referees.

The referees must be generous when it comes to extending the matches and thus be able to compensate for the loss of time by the teams. Hence, they are going to maintain the existing line of long discounts of up to even ten minutes both at halftime and at the end of the match.

But it is not the only slogan given in this third arbitration concentration of the current season. The position that has existed since the arrival of the new president is maintained, Luis Medina Cantalejo, from the VOR room. That is to say , the weight of the match is carried by the field referee and the WHERE It should only intervene in the cases established by the protocol. That is to say before clear, rude and manifest errors.

But another great novelty includes that this intervention must also take place in the so-called penalties or the one where from the VOR they have the opinion that the field referee can make an error if the maximum penalty given by the field referee ends up being thrown. In those cases, it is more convenient to urge the field referee to go to the monitor to review the action before decreeing the maximum penalty. An illustrative example is the first of the penalties that occurred in the recent Mallorca – Cadiz against the Cadiz team. 3′ the case of the first, it would have been convenient for the VOR to urge the field referee to go to the monitor to review the decision he had just made. But it is only in these or similar situations that the field referee should be notified. But always under the scenario that the field referee has the highest authority.

Hands and offsides

A seminar where other controversial issues such as hands and offsides have also been addressed, always seeking that consensus in decision-making.

Parallel to this seminar, referees and assistants have had to spend the required hours physical tests that each referee and assistant in their respective territorial federations. The same tests that already had to pass last November.

First there are six sessions of 40 meters in 5.8″ seconds with a minute of recovery. And then there is the resistance test known as intermittent Yo-Yo that must be done at a minimum of 18.2 with the goal of 19.2. In the case of the assistants, they are five series of 30 meters that they must complete in a maximum of 4.7 “and rest for thirty seconds between one and the other. Then they must do the Ariet test that they must complete with a minimum of 16.4 and a maximum of 16.5-6. Tests that must pass as a condition to continue refereeing and acting as an assistant.
