    Catastrophical Performances with Consequences: Ivan Bebek and Arnold Hunter have been demoted


    UEFA's Referee Committee has updated the Referee Categories for the 1st half of the 2016/17 campaign. There are only two changes: Ivan Bebek from Croatia has been demoted from Elite Group after only one year in the highest category. Furthermore, Arnold Hunter of Northern Ireland has been relegated to Second Group.
    At their meeting on 8 June, the Referee Committee headed by Pierluigi Collina has only made two changes.

     Ivan Bebek, referee of the Europa League game between SC Braga and Fenerbahçe SK, probably showed one controversial performance too much. The former Elite referee is demoted for the 2nd time in his career.

    Northern Ireland's Arnold Hunter made incredibly clear crucial mistakes in Olympiakos vs RSC Anderlecht all favouring the Greek side. UEFA had then started investigations into the decision-taking-process and potential match-fixing.

    All other referees stay in their groups. So: better show continuously poor performances and proof that you are actually no Elite referee than having one nightmare evening. That's the message sent by UEFA and I am sure that all referees have understood it.
