Thanks to Faghani and team Davari who made us Proud at AFC

[Siavash]

Here it is necessary to recognize the great job performed by Iranian ref team, Faghani, Sokhandan and Abolfazli at AFC. I saw the entire final Korea - Australia and must say I am truly proud of them, they did their best not only to protect players but also for being fair to the best of their abilities. I am proud to see a face of Iranian refereeing that could be an example for IPL and Asia.


رییس دپارتمان داوری تاکید دارد که نحوه قضاوت دیدار فینال هیچ مشکل تاثیر گذاری نداشت.

به گزارش سایت رسمی فدراسیون، حسین عسگری گفت: با توجه به حساسیت بالایی که دیدار فینال جام ملتهای آسیا دارد اما شاهد اعتماد به نفس بالای گروه داوری و همینطور همکاری مناسب بین آنها بودیم که نتیجه آن هم کنترل بسیار خوب تمامی اتفاقات بازی در طول مسابقه بود.
وی ادامه داد: در قضاوت این دیدار مشکلی که قابل بحث باشد وجود نداشت و البته صحنه هایی که نیاز به بازبینی برای اظهار نظر داشتند گویا اینطور برنامه ریزی شده بود که اینگونه صحنه ها بازبینی نشود اما بطور کلی اشتباهات شاخصی در این دیدار وجود نداشت.
رییس دپارتمان داوری افزود: البته در یک صحنه به نظر رسید که داور باید به یک بازیکن استرالیایی کارت زرد نشان می داد که این اتفاقی نیست که در عملکرد داور مشکلی ایجاد کند. از نکات بسیار مهم داوری این دیدار، آمادگی جسمانی، کنترل و نزدیکی فغانی به تمامی صحنه های بازی بود.
وی آینده فغانی با توجه به قضاوتش در دیدار فینال جام ملتهای آسیا را اینگونه شرح داد: به غیر از مسابقات قهرمانی باشگاه های آسیا بازی های دیگری پیش رو نیست اما برای همین مسابقات هم که از حدود دو هفته دیگر شروع می شود 3 ابلاغ داوری از سوی ای اف سی تا به این لحظه برای فغانی به دست ما رسیده است که طی آن در یک دیدار پلی آف و دو دیدار گروهی از قهرمانی باشگاه های آسیا باید قضاوت کند. آنچه که مسلم است پرکاری داور خوب کشورمان در 2 ماه آینده و اعتماد ای اف سی به وی است.
عسگری در پاسخ به این سوال که آیا گروه داوری ایرانی توانست از پتانسیل داوری ایران دفاع کند یا خیر، گفت: بدون شک همینطور است و البته تا پیش از این هم نحوه قضاوت گروه داوری کشورمان و بخصوص علیرضا فغانی در دیدارهای بین المللی از اعتبار داوری ایران دفاع کرده است. البته با توجه به اینکه فغانی در دیدار فینال جام ملتهای آسیا قضاوت کرده است کارش بسیار سخت تر از گذشته می شود چراکه حفظ این جایگاه از بدست آوردنش بسیار سخت تر است.
وی ادامه داد: البته تلاش های خود فغانی وی را به این جایگاه رسانده است و معتقدم با برنامه ریزی هایی که خودش انجام می دهد و با توجه به پیش رو بودن مسابقات المپیک در سال آینده و همینطور جام جهانی روسیه می تواند به موفقیت های بیشتری برسد.
رییس دپارتمان داوری در پایان گفت: فردا کوچکترین و کمترین کاری که از دستمان بر می آید را با حضور در فرودگاه و استقبال از گروه داوری کشورمان انجام خواهیم داد و همچنین طی مسابقات آتی لیگ هم از زحمات این سه داورمان تقدیر و تشکر خواهیم کرد.

[Ab-Gosht]

great tourney for them just they finished on a low the final was his worst ghezavat in the tourney

[Team Melli Fan]

Best referee of the tournament

[Karimi 8]

Faghani for TM

lol but seriously good job by him and the other iranian referees

[Adesor Vafaseya]

sorry but Faghani is an avearge ref. in Asia! Like all other Asian refs with exception of the Uzbek ref. Ravshan Irmatov, who is among the best refs in the world!
Also Faghani made few mistakes in this tournament ALSO in he final versus Australia. For example the yellow card versus Kruse was just redicolous! He thought he is wasting time, but he was injured and we saw he had to be taken out and was soon in bandage!

But having said that, for Asian level, yes, I am happy with what he did, and was glad to see him whistling the finals!
I am sure it will add to his experience and hopefully he will become better and better like Irmatov.

[freak]

amoo joon, i think that yellow was because kruse snapped at him while on the ground and cussed him out, which warrants a yellow (if he did indeed cuss him out). i might be wrong. i thought faghani was great.he managed the game well and let the teams play for the most part--very reasonable.

[_Navid_]

He is Asia's 2nd best ref now. Kudos to him.

[Siavash]

He is young and the way he is going he will top all at Asia and then he will ref at WC as main ref.

[Dejagah#21]

Faghani should have given two yellow cards in the first half to a random Australian player and simply say afterwards that: "oops, I forget that it was his second yellow".

[Siavash]

^ The thing is he is a decent human being and his integrity does allow him to do that, unlike that sub human thing Ben Williams.

[Team Melli Fan]

Ravshan Irmatov is definitely one of the better Asian referees too

[The Realist]

It seemed that Kruse got a yellow for something he said to Foghani, when Foghani was insisting that the player should be taken to touch line.

Overall I think he had a good game, there were occasions that were 50-50 and he awarded the other side. Australia may have had a penalty shout that would have made the score 3-1 and finished off the Koreans?

[eerooni]

AFC consolation plan to just make us happy , after ordering Ben Williams to steal the tournament from us!!

thanks... I didnt notice that.

But overall as I said earlier Ravshan Irmatov is def. the best Asian Ref and is among the best at world level.
Anyway Faghani is on the right way and will gain more and more expereince. Certainly the AFc final is very good for his ref resumee and will put him in a very good position to ref at World Cup level.

My point is however, that Faghani has flaws. And in all honesty the Uzbeki ref. Ravshan Irmatov is the best ref. in Asia by far!

[Ghermez Agha]

I don't think faghani and his team made us proud, they had a few controversial calls and no calls that could be argued. I'm not saying he did poor but he didn't have a particularly strong performance. Even for Asia still not one of the better officials....long way to go before he can be mentioned in the same sentence as Irmatov.
