Myroslav Stupar, a well-known referee in the past, evaluated the refereeing in the match of the 16th round of the Ukrainian championship Dynamo vs Ingulets (0:2) in a commentary for 1927.kiev.ua.
Myroslav Stupar- The impression of the teams' play is diametrically opposite. "Ingulets was not only surprising - it is a mobile team that aims not only to avoid conceding but also to score. The players join the attack and quickly return to close their zones. "Dynamo did not show this. Kyiv played academically and thought they could easily beat Ingulets. This did not happen. Of course, Dynamo can complain that the first goal was scored with a violation. I don't know why VAR didn't pay attention to it. Sitalo pushed Dyachuk in the back and thus won the fight. The arm was withdrawn - there was no play in the shoulder. A push in the back is a violation of the rules. Neither Monzul nor VAR paid attention to this, unfortunately. In the second episode with the goal, it was also worth considering the moment with a possible handball, which for some reason was again missed by VAR.
It is worth noting that from the very beginning Monzul did not get into the game rhythm. Kabayev fell down out of the blue in the third minute in the fight for the ball, when Kucherenko knocked the ball out in a half-court, the Dynamo player fell over his leg, and she awarded a free kick. But what kind of game tone can she have when assistants and referees are gathered for five days and none of them have spent a single minute refereeing during this time, but simply engaged in theoretical and physical training. The teams play sparring matches at the training camp to get in the game, and our referees, at the suggestion of the Italian "specialists," are left without refereeing matches. This significantly affects the qualifications of our referees of our football, which has been given to the Italians, who do not care about it. Pavelko is waving declarations that everything is fine and Katya Monzul will referee at the World Cup, but she cannot referee a match without VAR - and there are often questions about VAR," the expert is sure.
