The head of the refereeing committee of the Russian Football Union (RFU), Pavel Kamantsev, admitted that the referee Vitaly Meshkov was not appointed to the matches of the 19th round of the MIP RPL due to mistakes and a low score in the match of the last round of the Russian Championship between Spartak and Ural.

On Thursday, referees and inspectors for the matches of the 19th round of the WORLD RPL were announced. Meshkov’s surname was not among the officials.

– This situation is absolutely standard. We have always said that good and bad grades affect the appointment, their number. Vitali has one uncorrected error (due to an early whistle), also a penalty error, which was corrected by VAR. Two key bugs, one of which is uncorrected, that’s a pretty low score.

For the 19th round, judges who had a higher score, who was higher in the rating, received appointments.

This situation is similar to that of Vladimir Moskalev, who made a mistake in the Zenit-Spartak match, and other referees earlier, Kamantsev told Match TV.

Zhurova believes that PSG has no problems with Safonov and Zabarny

French team Paris Saint-Germain shouldn’t have any problems as the Russians play on the same team Matveya Safonov and Ukrainian Ilya Zabarny. This opinion was expressed by the Olympic speed skating champion, deputy of the State Duma Svetlana Zhurova.

Previously, Minister of Youth and Sports of Ukraine Matvey Bedny he called on the French club to resolve the situation, which, in his opinion, is inconvenient.

“All soccer players are professionals,” Zhurova said. “In my opinion, this situation is inconvenient only for Ukrainian officials, who constantly try to add fuel to the fire PSGnor did the players themselves express any complaints or report any discomfort. Accordingly, there is nothing to fix here. The club itself knows how to do better.”

Zabarny moved to PSG last summer. Safonov has been playing for the Parisians since last season.
