Former football stadium judges considered that there are psychological factors that negatively affect the performance of arbitration in the Arab Gulf League, and that pressure increases dramatically on them in various matches, which results in influential mistakes with multiple causes.

In their interview with Emirates Today, they limited the psychological factors to five, indicating that the most prominent of them is the importance of the match itself, and the position of the two teams in the league table ranking, in addition to the existence of something like a gap or challenge between the arena referee and the video referee (mouse), which constitutes pressure on the referee. And this is in addition to the challenge between the referee and himself with the need to succeed in managing the match, as well as the repeated criticisms of the whistle by some analysts of refereeing in some channels, as well as the harsh criticism from some club officials and players.

It is noteworthy that the Football Association, and through its account on (Twitter), announced the progress of a member of the board of directors, Ali Hamad Al-Badwawi, that he apologized for not chairing the referees committee due to his special circumstances.

Observers believe that the resignation may have come against the backdrop of recent criticism of the Whistle.

He will manage the committee, pending an official decision on the temporary resignation of Ali Hamad, Vice President Salem Al Shamsi.

Former football referees emphasized that "pressures on arbitration have increased during the recent period, whether by clubs or the media. Therefore, everyone should help the judges of the stadiums and support them morally in order to present their best levels of arbitration," and they said that this would - if it happened. - To be in the interest of arbitration and in the interest of game development in general.

They said that as the league enters its final stages, whether in the title fight or to secure survival for the bottom clubs, pressure will increase more on the various match officials, especially in the crucial matches, whether at the top or the bottom.

Former international referee Muhammad Al-Junaibi said, "The pressures have clearly increased recently on the referees, and they are required to return to their normal levels so that the pressure is normal, especially since the performance of the arbitration is not at the satisfactory or convincing level."

He added, "Pressures surround the stadium judges from all sides, especially since every week there are one or more clubs that reserve reservations about the referees' performance."

He pointed out that «it is assumed that the presence of (the mouse) gives the opportunity to rule the arena to reduce the errors, but although (the mouse) calls for the referee to correct the error, the latter does not do so, which is similar to the challenge between the rule of the arena and (the mouse)».

He continued, "There are teams competing to win the league title, others to survive and avoid relegation, and teams seeking to win an Asian seat, and all of this constitutes double pressure on the referee."

Al-Junaibi considered that the confidence between the arena referee and the "mouse" is weak in most matches, which complicates the situation.

In turn, former World Cup referee Issa Darwish said: "The importance and sensitivity of matches has kept pressure on arbitration, despite the absence of the audience this season due to the Corona pandemic."

He added, "There is also media pressure, especially with the presence of television analysis of the referees' performance in the matches."

On the other hand, former international referee Abdullah Al-Ajeel considered "the pressures facing stadium judges during the various matches as a positive thing."

He explained: "As long as there is a place in which a person wants to succeed, whether he is ruling or not, he must face pressures and he must deal with them."

And he considered that "the football referees are supposed to be accustomed to such pressures, and they must deal with it naturally so as not to negatively affect their performance in matches."

But he said that some pressure is exaggerated, especially from the media, club officials, players and coaches.

He added, "In my estimation, the presence of the (mouse) represents a pressure on the referee, since there are 18 cameras monitoring and analyzing the performance of the referee, and yet there are influential errors from the video referee, unlike the previous ones when arbitration cases were passing unnoticed without being repeated, as is currently happening."

He continued: “The referees’ discussion with the referees that there are mistakes and that the sports street must have confidence in the performance of the arbitration also constitutes a great pressure on the referee. ”

The five psychological factors

1- The importance of the match and the position of the two teams in arranging the league table.

2- There is a gap or challenge between the arena rule and the video (mouse) rule.

3- The challenge between the referee and himself due to the necessity of success in managing the match.

4- Repeated criticism by arbitration analysts and club administrations.

5- The Referees Committee's request to the stadium judges to restore the confidence of the sports street in the whistle.

Chairman of the Referees Committee Ali Hamad resigned from his post due to special circumstances.

- Despite the "mouse", the controversy continued in many matches in the Arab Gulf League.
