Ali Hamad: The studios dissect the judging, not the analysis

A member of the FIFA Board of Directors and Chairman of the Referees Committee, Ali Hamad, said that the “var” referee technique is a catalyst in managing matches to come out with the least mistakes, but it cannot completely eliminate refereeing errors, describing the analysis studios in some sports channels Which strongly criticizes arbitration, that "what happens is an autopsy of the judgment and not an analysis of the arbitration."

He emphasized that the UAE was a pioneer in the field of using modern "var" technology in the world, and had taken this decision since 2015, and it is currently being applied for the third year in a row. Finally, the technology was developed, and the time spent on reviewing decisions was reduced in a way that does not lead to pressure on Judgment.

The former international referee told "Emirates Today", in response to multiple questions in the sports arena, and athletes' criticisms of refereeing in the Arab Gulf League and the "mouse" technique, that the video referee technique has improved greatly recently, especially since he assumed the task of chairing the referees committee in the Football Association. He personally supervises this topic.

Ali Hamad, who is considered one of the experts in this field, being a former international referee and arbitration evaluator approved by the AFC and the International Federation, explained that the decision to cancel the "mouse" or to continue to work with it is in the hands of the Football Association, and said: “We appreciate every decision of the Football Association in this regard. In particular, whether by canceling or maintaining the (mouse). He continued: “For us in the Referees Committee, we are working to develop arbitration, and we have extensive programs to develop arbitration.”

Analysis Studios

Regarding his opinion of the analysis studios for arbitration in some local sports channels, he said: “Analysis studios have become overwhelmed in the analysis of arbitration in an exaggerated manner, and we respect and appreciate all the views, differences and opinions that reach us,” adding, “There are about five analysis studios in the league, In each round, all the details of the details of the arbitration are covered. This is called an autopsy, not an analysis.

He explained: “Is there nothing but refereeing that is analyzed in the match, such as technical errors of coaches, players and others?

But we noticed that there is a complete focus on the rulers, and a dumping in the analysis, and despite that we accept all opinions ».

Ali Hamad considered that the difference in the process of assessing arbitration cases between one referee and another, and between all the elements of the game, involves the human factor, considering that errors in the game cannot be completely eliminated, even if the “mouse” is used, because these errors are related to the ball. Football, and it will continue as long as football exists, but he indicated that he is personally against making decisions that affect teams.

Mistakes will remain

In response to a question about the extent of his evaluation of the performance of arbitration before and after the implementation of the "mouse" stage, Ali Hamad added: “I cannot evaluate the period before the application of the (mouse) and after it, but we are working to reduce errors as little as possible in football, noting that errors will remain. There is as long as football remains, because football is built on mistakes in the first place.

When asked about the fact that video assistant refereeing technology is basically not a prerequisite by FIFA, which made the matter a choice, the head of the Referees Committee said: “Yes, the mouse is not a basic requirement from FIFA and it is not compulsory, but all advanced leagues in the world own it. They apply it, and there are countries that wish to have this technology, bearing in mind that this technology has pros and cons. ”

Ali Hamad indicated that those who do not own this technology wish to implement it and whoever owns it criticizes it.

Ali Hamad revealed that the "fugitive referee" cannot control the match and its course as some believe, and said: “The one who owns the decision in the stadium is the arena referee, and referring to the video referee technique is done within specific protocols in four points, and it has been talked about more than once. ».

Foreign rule

Regarding the demands of some to seek the help of foreign referees in the Emirati league, Ali Hamad asked about the extent of the benefit that the foreign referee could provide, and said: “Can the foreign referee lead the local government to develop”, adding: “The foreigner develops in the UAE arbitration system through courses and lectures, Held by the Football Association in this regard, and during which foreign lecturers are used.

The Chairman of the Referees Committee believed that most of the neighboring countries that sought help from foreign rule were involved in this process, and their experience was negative and are currently seeking to get rid of it.

Ali Hamad emphasized that the Emirati arbitration in general has proven its capabilities and presence in all international events, including his anticipated presence in the FIFA Club World Cup, and before that his presence in the World Cup, and that the Emirati arbitration has made very great achievements on the external level, stressing that the national referee is not He benefits or develops in his country, so where will he develop?

Can a foreign government lead us to development?
