The untold ref review: Huddersfield at home – surprising as ever

Snooping around the Everton blogs, and a little spot of Tottenham on the side
Arsenal v Everton: the Untold Preview
By Walter Broeckx, the speachless ref
As some supporters had a lot of questions about the ref I tried to be as complete as I could. So I did try to count the numbers of fouls not given during the game from both sides. I did not include the correct given fouls as this is part of the job of the ref. I have the names (not the minutes) and for those who really want them I can give them in the comment section and say which fouls and from whom and on whom it was.
OTHER/GOAL: Bendtner scores from with a deflected shot. This is not against the laws. Was there a handball from Chamakh just before? Replays suggest that Chamakh controlled the ball with his upper arm. Clattenburg had a clear view on Chamakh. Clattenburg made a gesture with his arms indicating that he thought the arms were close to his body and it was not deliberate. A border line decision from the ref. But he had seen it as he indicated it not being against the rules.
If you look at it from behind Chamakh it looked different and more a handball. But as the ref saw it from his angle he didn't see anything wrong with this. Would we have liked it the other way round? I don't think so. But I have to make a judgment and I give the handball and cancel the goal. 0/1 and 0/1
CARD: Gibbs gets a stupid yellow card by kicking the ball away. Correct decision from the ref. Something I don't like at all. And such a card can be important later in the game 1/1
OTHER/CARD : Squillaci brings down a Huddersfield player and he is the last defender. Some will think it harsh. I don't. He stuck out his arm to stop the player. It was a deliberate foul. It was not obstruction. By putting his arm out and hitting the player it was a foul. Squillaci could have let him run and then the player would have a free run on Almunia. So in my opinion a correct decision from the ref. It doesn't matter how far or how close from goal you are. Last defender making a foul = red card. And Clattenburg gives those cards as we have seen at Manchester City. 1/1 and 1/1
PENALTY: a shot from Huddersfield goes over the ground. Gibbs and another attacker stand next to each other. The attacker touches the ball and the ball hits the arm of Gibbs. He was standing with his arms open a bit. But as the ball was on the floor he was entitled to stand in this way. The shot only came to his arm from within a metre distance so this was a case of ball to hand and not hand to ball. Correct decision not to give a penalty. 1/1
GOAL: Nothing wrong with the goal from Huddersfield. 1/1
OTHER/ CARD : Tackle from behind in a scissor on Diaby. Foul and a yellow card. 1/1 and 1/1
On came Cesc.
OTHER/CARD : Foul on Rosicky given and finally the ref blows and even gives a lecture. This was a series of fouls on Rosicky should have been a card by now/ 1/1 and 0/1
OTHER/CARD: Last minute tackle on Bendtner from behind. The defender got the ball but he also got the man at the same time. A tackle from behind is not a foul when you only play the ball. He plays ball and man so it should have been a foul and a red card. Bendtner was clear on goal and it was the last defender. There was another defender some 3 metres to the side but he could never have interfered if Bendtner would have got a free run on goal. 0/1 and 0/1
OTHER/CARD: Foul on Cesc given and the Huddersfield player kicked the ball away. Just as Gibbs a deserved yellow card for kicking the ball away. 1/1 and 1/1
PENALTY/CARD/GOAL: I will start with saying that at first I thought it was a soft penalty. But after seeing it again the Huddersfield player barged in the back of Bendtner who didn't feel the need to stay on his feet. The defender held an arm around Bendtner for a split second. There was contact, it was a foul so it was a penalty. Let us move on to the card. I really cannot see how the ref only gave a yellow card. This was wrong. When you give the foul and as it was a clear goal scoring opportunity and Bendtner had a clear way to goal and it was the last defender the only card possible was a red one. Nothing wrong with the conversion by the way. You can slow down while running to take a penalty. So 1/1, 0/1 and 1/1
CARD: Cesc goes in the book for holding on to a ball that was out. Correct decision. 1/1
OTHER/CARD: Foul on Cesc when he tries to enter the penalty area. Correct decisions 1/1 and 1/1 By the way ref Clattenburg the wall was standing very, very close to the ball.
My foul counting in this game came up with this numbers in total:
Foul for Arsenal not given: 19
Foul for Huddersfield not given: 5
Now I am not saying that the ref should have given all 19 fouls. As I can understand that in some moments you just let the game continue as the team stays in possession. But this is a vital way of handling a game: calling the little fouls.
On many occasions I have seen the Huddersfield players do some late pushing in the back when the ball was already gone and on an occasion also a bit of a late kick. I didn't like it and I didn't include them in the numbers for the fouls not given. But this is an annoying way of playing football which went unpunished during the game.
But enough words for now, give me numbers I can hear you shout. Here they are:
CARDS: 6/9
PENALTY: 2/2
GOAL: 2/3
OTHER: 5/7
Total score: 15/21 (71 %)
Holy cow, bang, boom boom how about that score. You didn't expect it. Well this is the first time I also was totally on the wrong foot with the ref.
The most important lesson I have learned today is that I will have to look at some things in the future. The valuation of the cards in a different system is on the cards already for next season. But I have to stick with the way I have done it all season. So next season this will be different. But we cannot change the rules during a season, sorry about that.
But what really kicked me out of my shoes was the counting of the fouls not given. As I, like many of you had the impression that he was firm against us and a bit more lenient when it came to Huddersfield and this clearly is visible in the fouls not given numbers but this isn't visible in his final score.
Which in a way is understandable as the score is focussed on the big decisions. So I have to find a way in getting this in the numbers from next season. Sorry once again, can't change the rules during the season.
But this was a case of a ref who was not playing with the big decisions which apart from the red card against Huddersfield which he didn't show were rather correct. No it was a case of the ref who was taking on the little fouls during the game to level the game.
Was it with intent that he let Huddersfield get away with much more than Arsenal? Or was it the underdog sympathy that got in his way when seeing the game in midfield?
Apart from the not given red card he was doing all right in the important things, but I am grateful for the fact that he made clear that we need to fine tune things a bit and add another dimension to this ref reviewing system and find a way to get the little fouls on board and expressed in numbers.
I said on a forum in my country yesterday we are still in the FA cup, thanks to Clattenburg and despite Clattenburg.
Final note +80 is a good score and everything between 60 and 79 is a bit so and so. Below 60 is bad.

Thanks for the follow up count on fouls not given. I hope you can come up with a good method for including that in the overall decision.
It may be hard though, as often the ref will allow the game to play on, which means he recoginized the foul, but chose not to call it. This may also impact the overall numbers of not called fouls as arsenal often have additional players nearby to recover the ball.
Walter – this project of yours gets bigger and bigger!!! Great work and commitment!!!
I still think the red card was harsh. I have just watched it a few more times on Arsenal.com and Hunt plays the ball inside Squillaci, freezing him. He then goes around the outside of the defender, making it highly unlikely that he would have been able to regain possesion. He really just runs into the defender's outstretched arm. Had Hunt gone inside Squillaci and been brought down then I would agree with a sending-off, but going outside meant that a huge amount of ground needed to be made up, he was no longer in possession (having just kicked it beyond Squillaci) and it was likely that Almunia could have cleared in time.
Tough decision. I understand Clattenburg giving it. I just think it was harsh.
Walter Great report as always.
I just read that liverpool have Andy Carroll at Anfield to do a medical and they are paying 35mill for him ? If Arsenal paid 35mill for Andy Carroll, I would want AW sacked Id need to see a shrink afterwards.
They deserve to be in the championship next season if that is true and Torres goes to chelsea.
Wrenny says:
I also thought the red card rather harsh. Looking at how far away Hunt hit the ball, and the direction of his run, it was difficult for him to get the ball back ahead of Almunia. I can't see a clear goalscoring opportunity.
What always riles me is the inconsistency. By the strict letter of the law perhaps Squillaci's red card was deserved, but then the Huddersfield defender who brought down Bendtner should also have got his marching orders!
Referees seem to alter their decisions for Cup games, an attitude of "let the little guy have a go at the big Premier League stars" and they do their best to even the playing field.
I agree on the card for the penalty also
What's the difference between the foul on Bendtner and the one by Caldwell on Cesc last weekend? One's a red, one's a yellow.
ugandan goon says:
hi walter,
i am glad you are thinking of changing your system in the new season, but i think the most valuable aspect of your work is to evaluate a refs performance after the match, most of the time we find that it is not the fouls that are called that are the problem but the fouls that are not called, most of last season it seemed most goals scored against us started with a foul caausing one of our players to loose possession before a counter attack began and i thought thats where the refs let us down. i understand it takes a bit of work but i dont think that improving the system to include this particular development is going to change the overall impressions , afterall we are just about halfway through the season, we might not see one or two ref's again but most of the usual culprits will be back and then perhaps an average of the the three best/ worst scores to decide their places etc
like most people i just want an opinion from someone who knows the rules to explain to me that my eyes are not deceiving me- if you go by what the pundits say , well you might as well pay your membership for the AAA.
With regard to the fouls not given, I think the unfortunate result of this leniancy from an Arsenal perspective is that the cummalative effect on the players is anger and frustration. An angry frustrated player is not going to play so well so the team performance drops. How many times have we seen this!! Plus he is more likely to get himself booked if he thinks he is getting a raw deal from the ref. So the advantage is handed to the team that fouls, totally unjust and unfair.
kiwigooner says:
Hi Walter
Really enjoy reading your appraisal of the ref, but two questions come to mind
1 If the linesman/woman/person gives an incorrect offside, how is that the Ref's fault? I think you should eliminate this from your analysis, perhaps replacing it with fouls not given
2 I always thought a foul by the last defender was irrelevent. Or at least the last defender bit! A red card for denying a goal scoring opportunity Yes, Last defender NO. I have been informed that the 'last defender' bit is not found in the laws at all.
Could you please confirm either way?
addi says:
Good stuff Walter,
I've got to admit that I wondered why you didn't include every foul committed during the game in your scores. Their inclusion in the future would definitely be an improvement. I find it an interesting rational that basic fouls (both given and not given) aren't included in the review because it is the ref's job to get them right, after all, isn't it his job to get the big decisions right to?
In some cases the big decisions can give themselves too, if that Huddersfield player had punched Nik in the face rather than giving him a little push the red card would have been automatic, that would have given the ref 3 points (penalty/card/goal) for a decision practically impossible to get wrong.
Of course I understand why you'd want to weight the score towards those decisions which drastically effect the outcome of the match, but which incidents are most important? You could possibly argue that awarding a goal (from a penalty say) is pretty routine, but FAILING to award a goal when the ball has clearly crossed the line is a massive mistake.
Regardless, I look forward to the rest of this season's reviews, and to seeing what you come up with for next season also.
Not much time for the moment but just to give you some information: two of the goal scoring chances for Huddersfield came after a not given foul on an Arsenal player. Out of my head: the Almunia save and another which I cant recall but I knew it as I wrote it down but I dont have it on this computer.
This just shows how important a not given foul can become. Chelsea scored their first against us from such a foul.
I will try to add the not given fouls and correct given fouls also and try to work something out for next season to give some weight to this. For example when a goal or a goal scoring opportunity comes from this I can give it a rating between 0 (just the foul missend) 1 (goal scoring opportunity) and 2 (a goal scored as a result)
But this is still not decided. But I will let you know how I think I will take this all aboard next season before the season starts and I will ask the readers to give their opinion on the scale and the points we will give from next season. I will make the calls in the review but you sure can have your input on how many points to give for the different events that can happen.
critic says:
hey walter, tony, untold…. i have send an article, it may not be a gem but please try to publish it……..and fast…..before transfer deadline….please, if possible give me the email id where i can send it.
couldn't read ur article sorry, i am very excited, it's my first article.
tony.Attwood@aisa.org, i send it to this email id…..and really sorry for my childish behaviour………
A Casual Observer says:
Well done Walter… you're learning – we are seeing a bigger picture with this analysis. I can tell you are going to put a lot of thought into your marking for next season!
hmm…may be iam touch late???
Critic, I have received a mail from Tony that he was having problems with his email address today.
And I think he wasn't home this evening so he couldn't check his email anyway.
can't u provide me ur email, can't u publish it?
hey walter, didn't i pointed out some of ur shortcomings in ur previous article? Is this one of the reason u have improved ur scoring system?
If so, then it proves my point – sometimes u need constructive criticism to improve, the only thing lacking at untold. If not, then theory remains proof is yet to be found.
Although i must admit my comment was perfect example of destructive criticism, and hopefully didn't hurt u badly.
Bad news – just heard Mike Dean is the ref for the CC final. And Big Eck says he cannot compete with our passing so he will try and deal with us by other methods.
This combination worries me!
walter it's a matter of life and death, how iam suppose to get my article published on untold…quickly?
Thanks Walter, I was really waiting to see what you say about this. I really have mixed feelings, comparing what was red card for Squillaci, and what was not later with foul on Bendtner. And again comparing it with Dawson when Olimpiakos got red…
I really thought Clattenbourg can do better
Walter , Arshavin against leeds in the replay would be a good choice when showing how a foul not given resulted in a goal.
Walter with regards to the 19 fouls not given, playing the advantage (as you know) is at the referees discretion but he/she must use the correct arm gesture to signal this for me this is a foul given in play, If your suggesting that clattenburgh made no decision and gave no signal then i politely suggest an omissions column for next season. maybe foul-stop-play, foul-advantage, foul-not-given. this would be fairly difficult but would be interesting to know how many omissions our so called top refs are making. And as an linesman cannot play advantage then this is solely down to the decision making of the ref.
Waleed says:
I think usually in the box with that kind of a foul referees usually just give yellows because I believe the red card is given because of a cynical or professional foul to deny a goal scoring opportunity.
If it's an honest foul (like just getting beat by the attacker to the ball) then the referees are less likely to send you off.
Wenger, too, said that you want to be more lenient in the box.
What do you think, Walter?
nicolas says:
Walter your review is spot on! On the pitch I didn't like Cescs actions when the penalty was given. In my opinion as a professional footballer you have to respect the ref and not barge at him as he did – captain or not. And isn't it prohibited to suggest cards for the ref?
Now just waiting the Everton game and Tonys article of this insane january transfer window, where I would like to know more about the affect of FIFA's financial rules. Tony: Do I wait in vain for that article?
Critic after my last comment I went to bed (one hour later over here and had to get up early in the morning)
Mick, you are right. Players who feel that the ref is letting things go more from one team get frustrated and will take matters in their own hands and will thus commit fouls and then the ref blows and the player gets even more frustrated and gets a booking eventually and then he loses focus on his game….
Kiwigooner,
1) Most refs trust their linesman and will follow them. Only if the ref knows that the linesman made a mistake and is sure on this for 200% he will over rule the assistant. For example when the pass is given by a defender and when this rules out the offside. When you do games with assistants you must work as a team. So I look at them as a team.
2) red card is given: "denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity to an opponent moving towards the player's goal by an offence punishable by a free kick or a penalty kick". This is the part of the laws that covers the red cards from Squillaci and the not given one. In the instructions they give to the refs they explain this and then they speak about last defender and they give examples of such incidents. So the given red card is within this rule because if Scuillaci would have let him run he surely would have had a goal scoring opportunity. And also Bendtner would have had a goal scoring opportunity.
Waleed, in the instruction they give to refs they make the difference between a red and a yellow card by looking at the direction the player is going. If he runs towards the goal it is a red card (Bendtner ran to the center of the goal so should have been red) when the players runs in a direction that leaves him with a more difficult angle (wide or away from the goal) on goal it is a yellow card.
In most cases when there is an Arsenal defender involved the refs know the rules very well. 😉
Adam, you are rigth and I kept an eye on the ref but he almost never came up with the advantage signal.
And I think I will keep your suggestion in mind about the different possibilities on fouls. I like it. Just have to see if the decisions are correct or not.
The only thing can be that the ref is not always in the picture but then again this would only be in one or two cases in a game I think.
Mandy, I hope you are wrong…
Just on the issue of the article that Critic was sending through. Two things – the email address tony.attwood@aisa.org is the one provided for me by Arsenal Independent Supporters Association and is normally very reliable. But as we all know, the internet does cock up sometimes. the fault may have been mine or theirs or anywhere in between.
The other point is that I am absolutely not on line all the time. Among other things I have a full time job, I am writing a book on Woolwich Arsenal, I have six grandchildren and three daughters, and I try and stay fit by going to jive clubs several nights a week.
Actually now I look at that its a wonder I get on line at all.
But this does mean that being able to publish articles urgently is tough, and almost impossible. If you have an idea for an article please do send it to me but please keep in mind the fact that it might not appear for a few days. If you want to comment on things that are instant, then somehow you have to plan with me how i can know the article is on its way at a certain time. With the regular correspondents we have timings worked out, so it runs more smoothly. So you could propose a series of articles that will always arrive in the inbox at 10am Tuesday for example.
Last, this little piece is all about me – but the reality is that without Walter in particular none of this would happen. I would add my voice of support to all those who wrote in, in relation to this article, thanking Walter for his endless hard work all the time on this site.
Hi again WAlter….
So being the last man is completely irrelevent then?
So why do people keep mentioning it?
1 February 2011 at 10:07 AM
I think it is because bringing a player down who has a goal scoring opportunity is most of the time by the last defender. Otherwise it wouldn't be a goal scoring opportunity…
@tony
Thanks for ur reply, i have send u my complete article. Publish it when u have time and if it's worth publishing. I had specifically written it for transfer madness but it wil be a good read anyway . I could have given it to other blogs but it turned out to be tailor-made for untold. Hopefully, it will take readers to the last day of winter transfer window and general madness associated with every transfer window.
goonergerry says:
Have looked at the Squillacci incident a few times- reckon it is stretch even to say that he was the last man- assuming that other defenders are not able to cover -was not the denial of a goalscoring opportunity at the time of the foul. It was a deliberate if mild block and a yellow card in my book. I do not believe that this denial rule was introduced to cover this kind of situation- but for much more clear cut situations where a player is actually clear on goal when fouled. The "last man " interpretation is in my view an over- interpretation and results in far too many soft red cards being given- which have the effect of ruining matches.
Is it wise to send off a player every time the defence is standing square and a player going through is blocked?
please confirm, when u have time, if u have received it and will u publish it.
I must admit u guys work slower than indian govt. If ur email is still not working then u cud have provided another email id. Now, if my article gets published, timing wud be horrific on the back of the everton loss….anyway, it seems we cud be out pl already, song gone….and all dat despite all the efforts from arsene and lads. It pains me deeply. Footballing gods are so so cruel.
But nobody can shake our support, nobody.
We love u arsenal for what u are and no dimbhead ref could change it.
Apparantly not, and hence a perfect time to consider my article.
And plz delete all the my comments irrelevant to the current topic.

Rihanna Previews New No I.D.-Produced Song
By 2dopeboyz,

Superstar DJ
Earlier today, Rihanna took to Instagram to preview a brand new joint from her forthcoming album, and of course the internets went into a frenzy. The track features RiRi wailing over some luscious strings, that oozes of soul and a bygone era.
The track in question is titled "Higher," and while she mentioned her longtime songwriting collaborators in the post, Kuk Harrell and Marcos Tovar, she omitted that it was produced by the hometown hero, No I.D. These two have collaborated numerous times in the past, and it appears they've made magic happen yet again — as "Higher" sounds like a massive hit.
Check out the preview below.
5 am drunk off da whiskey with these two rockstars @officialkukharrell @djanser !!! These guys always hold me down even at the craziest hours! We've made every album since #GoodGirlGoneBad together! The family!!! One Love #R8

Dylan Rodríguez is Professor in the Department of Media and Cultural Studies. He was named to the inaugural class of Freedom Scholars in 2020 and is President of the American Studies Association (2020-2021). He recently served as the faculty-elected Chair of the UCR Division of the Academic Senate (2016-2020) and as Chair of Ethnic Studies (2009-2016). After completing his Ph.D. in Ethnic Studies at UC Berkeley in 2001, Dylan spent his first sixteen years at UCR in Ethnic Studies before joining Media and Cultural Studies in 2017.
Dylan's thinking, writing, teaching, and scholarly activist labors address the complexity and normalized proliferation of historical regimes and logics of anti-Black and racial-colonial violence in everyday state, cultural, and social formations. He conceptualizes abolitionist and other forms of movement as part of the historical, collective genius of rebellion, survival, abolition, and radical futurity. What forms of shared creativity emerge from conditions of duress, and how do these insurgencies envision—and enact—transformations of power and community?
Dylan is the author of three books, White Reconstruction: Domestic Warfare and the Logic of Racial Genocide (Fordham University Press, 2021), Forced Passages: Imprisoned Radical Intellectuals and the U.S. Prison Regime (University of Minnesota Press, 2006) and Suspended Apocalypse: White Supremacy, Genocide, and the Filipino Condition (University of Minnesota Press, 2009). He was co-editor of the field-shaping anthology Critical Ethnic Studies: A Reader (Duke University Press, 2016) and has written in a wide cross-section of scholarly and popular venues, including Social Text, Black Agenda Report, Harvard Law Review, American Quarterly, Radical History Review, Colorlines, The Abolitionist, and Scholar & Feminist Online. He has served as an editor or editorial board member for numerous journals and presses, including the University of California Press, American Quarterly, Journal of the Critical Ethnic Studies Association, and the recently founded Abolition: A Journal of Insurgent Politics.
Dylan is a founding member of the Critical Ethnic Studies Association and Critical Resistance, a national carceral abolitionist organization. He is part of the Abolition Collective and Scholars for Social Justice, and continuously works in and alongside various radical social movements and activist collectives.

The thing is that, as discussed in the infographic that is malware, the absolute quantity of malicious software that's circulating now means the likelihood of your pc being undermined has raised.
As strong passwords, antivirus program, a computer user and SSL certifications all add to your risk-free browsing experience. Knowing the best way to browse together with the trust that the network will not be assaulted is critical; for example, if you are about to make an online purchase, make sure the padlock symbol and the secure connection is live (as shown by the green address bar).
The malware infographic supplied some indepth facts and figures regarding the prevalence of malware with several fascinating data that lead to general penetration for computer users around the globe, on the other side of the web.
Using the United States being the number one source of phishing attacks, the USA, China and India were the three top sources of malicious software. Sites are most apt to be infected with malware. The truth is, they're eight times more likely than websites that are pornographic to be assaulted.
40% of sites scanned by Symantec were discovered to be exposed to malware, by means of design defects and code errors.
You're 30% more prone to get malware- should you benefit a big business, while 40% of the malware is via clickable links rather than downloadable content inclusive e-mails.
What computer users can choose from that is the fact that remaining shielded online via powerful passwords, SSL certificates and antivirus applications is of utmost importance in the event you would like your web experience to be as safe as you possibly can.


Alejandro Bedoya may be on the move.
The 23-year-old midfielder, currently playing with Örebro in Sweden, is on trial with Birmingham City, according to multiple reports.
Bedoya has done well in the Allsvenskan, and he's probably ready to test himself against better competition.
But is a jump to the Premier League the right decision?
It's a brutally physical league, and the competition for playing time will be fierce.
Still, if you read MLS Talk's interview with him recently, you know he wants to play at the highest level.
"I see myself still playing soccer at a high level with a great club in a top league. God willing with hard work and dedication I can get to where I would like to be and where many people dream to play," he said.
You can argue that his pace and skill is well suited for the EPL, or you could point out his relative inexperience on the game's biggest stages.
But really, we won't know unless he tries it.

International Pressure should be maintained on Government
Outcry of Tamil Diaspora understandable
People need to understand transitional justice process
All allegations against military and LTTE should be investigated
Sudu Nelum movement during CBK's period changed public opinion on power devolution within a year
Leading Civil Society Activists Dr. Jehan Perera, in an interview with Dailymirror, stresses the need to ensure transitional justice for war victims. Dr. Perera, who is also the Executive Director of the National Peace Council, calls for continued pressure by the international community and civil society on the government to deliver in this regard. He also made representations to Geneva this time. Excerpts:
QAs a civil society activist, what is your opinion on the grant of another two more years for the government to implement the provisions of the
UNHRC resolution?
The resolution on Sri Lanka that gave Sri Lanka the additional two years that the government sought to deliver on commitments made 18 months ago. The postponement was necessary as there is no preparedness on the ground. These are necessarily public processes. The discussion has to be taken to the people.
The extended time frame granted reflects the confidence that the international community reposes in the good faith of the government headed by President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe. It also reflects the absence of other viable options with regard to hastening the transitional justice process in Sri Lanka. From a civil society perspective, this is the best time we have. But it is only an opportunity. Our concern is that it is receding opportunity.
By giving Sri Lanka the two years that the government asked for, the international community has recognized that it is only the Sri Lankan government that can deliver on all of these, and not the international community which can at best play a supportive role.
The international community and civil society need to ensure that pressure is maintained on the government. Its progress, or lack thereof, in implementing its promises in regard to transitional justice needs to be monitored and constructively critiqued. Instead of seeking to punish the government and withdraw support from it, the government needs to be given more assistance to meet its targets.
QThere is a major outcry by the Tamil Diaspora groups against the granting of such an extension. How do you see this?
The outcry from the Tamil Diaspora is understandable. As they are out of the country many of them see the international pressure as the most effective. This is the most effective recourse they have. They have no voting power in Sri Lanka to put pressure on the government. The issues for the Tamil people are urgent. For a person whose child is missing, it is urgent to find that child. To be resettled on the land you once lived on with sufficient resources to ensure normalcy is urgent. The continued suffering of those who were victims of the war who have not yet been benefited by the proper implementation of the UNHRC resolution is not acceptable. The victims of the war continue to live in difficult circumstances and often out of the mainstream of life, struggling to survive without viable livelihood opportunities while being burdened by uncertainty about the fate of their missing family members.
QThe implementation of the provisions of the resolution, particularly the move to set up a judicial mechanism , is bound to be met with public resistance. In that context, how feasible is the implementation process?
The problem today is that the entire reconciliation process is being held hostage to the pursuit of accountability for war crimes. Transitional justice and ensuring reconciliation is not only about accountability, it includes truth seeking, reparations and institutional reforms. The experience of other countries shows that ensuring accountability is a lengthy process often taking several decades.
Accountability is important for the future. Those entrusted with state authority must know that they can never abuse state power and get away with it. There needs to be widespread support generated amongst the people for this position. They will be the beneficiaries.
There is also a need to help the people to understand the need for the larger transitional justice process which is not only about accountability, but also about compensation and institutional reforms, and that it is about taking the country to an irreversible situation of sustainable peace. This will take time, but it is possible. An example is the Sudu Nelum movement during the period of President Chandrika Kumaratunga. In a matter of a year they were able to change public opinion on the issue of devolution of power.
Q There is a different world situation with the Trump presidency in the United States of America. As such, how long can those interested in Sri Lanka's issue sustain the international support to the Geneva process?
The United States may be the most important actor but it is only one actor in the international community. President Donald Trump may ensure that US accountability is less, but it is less sure that the US will let go of its traditional role in upholding international human rights standards. Where the resolution on the Sri Lanka was concerned the United States has said it was pleased that Sri Lanka had agreed once again to co-sponsor the resolution, and invited like-minded UN members to demonstrate support for reconciliation and peace in Sri Lanka by adding their names to the list of cosponsors. In a statement, the US applauded the government for its continuing efforts to promote reconciliation.
The international community will continue to insist on adherence to international standards. The reinstating of the Generalized System of Preferences Plus status (GSP+) to Sri Lanka is reportedly in the balance following a report from an European Union delegation that was in the country last week. In their report, to be tabled in the European Parliament on 27 April, they have called on the Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom to ensure that the Sri Lankan Government strictly implements the commitments put down by the International Labour Organization (ILO) prior to reinstating the trade facility. The report has also touches on shortcomings on the enforcement on other human rights issues, in particular the use of torture, the rights of minorities and the rights of LGBTI people.
QIn the report by the UN High Commissioner on Human Rights, there are 11 allegations. Out of them eight are against the government military. In your view, how legitimate or illegitimate are they?
At this point these are allegations. They need to be investigated and speculation brought to an end. Otherwise they will continue to hang over the military. This will damage their prospects for international training, UN assignments and even for family visits abroad. There are many allegations against the LTTE that should be investigated too. The need is for a process. It is not just to investigate these 11 allegations. As the process continues there might be a need to investigate more allegations. Those who engage in murder, enforced disappearances, torture and rape, whether in times of war or peace, need to be held accountable. The cycle of impunity needs to be broken.
Q How could the military be held to account for civilian deaths in a war zone as there was firing by both sides?
It will be the circumstances and evidence gathered that will determine whether the military was culpable or not. So long as there are no investigations there will continue to be allegations by international human rights organizations and the UN. Sri Lanka needs to get out of this dark cloud.
However, we need to be mindful that those who were in the military and who commanded the military and ensured victory over the LTTE are seen by many if not most people, in particular most Sinhalese, as war heroes. Instead of emphasizing retributive justice in which the primary remedy is punishment, there could be an alternative in the form of restorative justice. The latter focuses on victims. The most urgent needs of those who suffered during the war is to find out what happened to their missing family members and to have sustainable livelihoods. This is the accountability I would give priority to.
Q There is public perception that the OMP Act and the proposed law on enforced disappearances contain drastic provisions making way for political and military leaders to be hauled up before an international war crimes tribunal. How do you respond to it?
The primary purpose of the OMP is to enable the families of those who went missing to find out what happened to them. The UNHCR's resolution has no provision in it for setting up international war crimes tribunals. That is a matter for the UN Security Council, in which China and Russia are members and have pledged to support Sri Lanka. If it is found that those who went missing were killed, there has to be accountability and consequences even within the domestic Sri Lankan system.
Q How would it help in reconciliation if the military are punished for their conduct of the war?
It is legal in international law to fight a war, and for military personnel to kill one another. It is only if they behave outside of international law, by killing prisoners, raping women and killing civilians that they are liable to be punished. But these are also violations of codes of conduct within the military itself. Holding those who violated the laws of war accountable will build confidence in people that this is a country governed by the Rule of Law and in the equal treatment of all citizens. If a woman gets raped or a loved one is killed, who will not want justice? We need to put ourselves in others' shoes.
QWhat is your opinion on the government co-sponsoring
this resolution?
By co-sponsoring the UNHRC resolution the government was able to change an adversarial relationship with the international community into a collaborative one. This is the main reason that Sri Lanka was given an extra two years to implement what it had promised to do.
Q As a member of civil society who made representations in Geneva; in your view, could the Tamil lobbying groups be satisfied with the current process and action taken so far?
Reform processes have been initiated but the pace of change is slow. It should be speeded up. The experience of transitional justice processes worldwide is that they are slow. There is the ideal and there is reality. We have to progress, but within the framework of what is real.
QHow do you assess the progress made so far regarding the Constitution making process?
The govt took two good steps at the outset. It appointed a Public Representatives Committee to meet with people all over the country and ascertain their views on all areas of constitutional reform. This is the first time such a public consultation was called for. Second the government turned the entire parliament into a Constitutional Assembly. But now inertia seems to have set in. The preparation of technical documents took too long and were not sufficiently shared. Constitutional Reform, as much as the reconciliation process, is a public process in which the people need to participate on a continuing basis. The govt needs to go to the people, and to all sectors, including the professionals, religious clergy, security forces and business people, and involve them in the discussion. They all want to know what this all means and they deserve to know.

Are We Truly Able to Forgive and Forget?
A new study may reveal a path to healthy forgetting.
The Importance of Forgiveness
Find a therapist near me
When you have forgiven someone, then, it's valuable also to forget the details of what they have done. But does that actually work? Does forgiveness allow you to forget those details?
This question was explored in an interesting paper in the July 2014 issue of Psychological Science by Saima Noreen, Raynette Biermann, and Malcolm MacLeod.
In an initial session, participants read a variety of scenarios leading them to imagine that someone had done something wrong to them. Each scenario described the person, the event, and what the person did afterward. The scenarios involved a variety of transgressions including lying, infidelity, and theft, and participants were asked whether they would forgive the person for what they had done. From these responses, the experimenters identified 12 items that people were generally willing to forgive, and 12 that they were not.
In the second session, experimenters explored people's ability to forget the details of the scenarios.
First, participants read 24 scenarios that were paired with words that could be used to remind them of each scenario. Half the scenarios were ones that participant was willing to forgive, and half were scenarios that the participant was not willing to forgive. Participants practiced associating the words with the scenarios until they could recall the scenarios after hearing the words with better than 50% accuracy.
Then, for half of the items they learned, participants saw the cue word again and were given a new set of instructions: Those in the Think condition were given one of the words, told to think about the scenario associated with that word, and then to state how the transgressor made amends for their mistake. Those in the No Think condition were told to avoid thinking about about the scenario associated with the word. (The other half of the items that were not part of the Think or No Think conditions were used as a baseline.) Finally, participants were asked to recall all of the scenarios given the cue words they had learned.
Overall, participants were equally good at learning to associate scenarios with words regardless of whether they were willing to forgive the transgressor for the related offense or not.
However, the recall data following the Think or No Think conditions were interesting: For scenarios in which the participant was not willing to forgive a transgressor, these conditions did not have any influence on later recall. For scenarios in which participants were willing to forgive a transgressor, participants in the No Think condition recalled fewer scenarios—and fewer details of those scenarios—than participants in the Think condition. (The baseline items came out in between the two conditions.)
What is going on here?
Previous research suggests that the instructions used in the No Think condition can make it harder for people to recall details of things they learned or experienced in the past. These new results suggest that the No Think instructions work for transgressions that people are willing to forgive, but not those they are not willing to forgive.
This result suggests that forgiveness may actually give people permission to forget—that is, when people are willing to forgive, they are willing to give up the details of an episode. But when they are unwilling to forgive, they keep those details around. Presumably, they will also re-experience those details negatively when they remember them in the future.
There are a number of interesting studies that remain to be done to help us understand this result better. For one, this study used all hypothetical scenarios. It would be interesting to look at the relationship between forgiving and forgetting with situations people actually experienced. For another, this study focused on the relationship between forgiving and forgetting. It would also be interesting to know whether inducing people to forget details of an event would influence their tendency to forgive.

Forgive and forget.

Hypothetical scenarios can't tap into that emotional bond of an actual experience. Unless you have gone through one of those scenarios you really don't know how you would respond. You might THINK you do but when the emotions are stirred, that is the true test.

My D&D Back Story
D&D RPG Videos
D&D RPG Product Reviews
RollStats Has a D&D YouTube channel!
I have officially launched a Dungeons & Dragons YouTube channel for RollStats! And I know what you're thinking! You're thinking, "Why is there another guy sitting in front of a shelf full of books talking about nerdy stuff"?
Well. Because nerdy stuff is awesome, and I want to talk about nerdy stuff. So, I'll be posting new videos every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday featuring Dungeons & Dragons RPG discussion and theory, along with reviews of Dungeons & Dragons RPG Products and Accessories, both new and old.
You can watch my first video below:
I have been playing Dungeons & Dragons (and other assorted RPG's) since about 1982. When I was twelve years old I discovered the Moldvay D&D Basic Boxed Set, and it was everything that I had wanted to play but didn't know existed. When I finally discovered it, it completely blew my mind! It came with the classic Dungeons & Dragons module "B2 Keep on the Borderlands", which was the definitive hack-and-slash dungeon crawl and I was immediately in love!
From there I found the Dungeons & Dragons Expert Boxed Set (Moldvay & Cook) and the quintessential hex-crawl D&D module "X1 The Isle of Dread", which was meant to introduce players and Dungeon Masters familiar with only dungeon crawl adventures to wilderness exploration.
From there I moved on to First Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D) and this is where I really started getting into the game. I loved 1st Edition AD&D, warts and all! I began moving away from B/X Dungeons & Dragons and really embracing Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.
Then, the Dungeons & Dragons Rules Cyclopedia came out, and although this wasn't my beloved B/X it was really close. This was a compilation of the BECMI (Basic, Expert, Companion, Master & Immortal) rules, well, sans Immortal. It expanded the Moldvay B/X system and offered rules to take characters up through 36th level. I loved this book and it brought me back from AD&D for a while.
But then Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Second Edition came out, which took the 1st Edition rules and cleaned them up and organized them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking AD&D First edition. I love 1st Edition! But, it was a little disorganized right?
And then, well then life happened. I stopped playing altogether. I didn't play Third Edition. I didn't play 3.5. I didn't play Pathfinder. I didn't play The Fourth Edition so I really can't get involved in all of the edition wars.
Side note: I think edition wars are silly. I think if you like D&D, you like D&D. It doesn't matter to me which edition you like, as long as you're playing right? All editions have their strengths. All editions have their weaknesses. It's what you and your group prefer to play. As long as you're having a good time at the table, then I think you're having a good time at the table. Who cares which edition you're playing? Anyway, end rant.
The problem was everyone became busy. You know life happened, work happened, family happened. I became busy, and I wasn't having fun at the table anymore and it didn't have anything to do with the edition that I was playing, or what version of D&D I was playing or my group. Everyone just became busy, and D&D became a chore. So, that was a period of 20 maybe 25 years. I couldn't even tell you exactly, but it was a long, long time.
Then Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition came out and made a huge splash. Regardless of what you think about D&D5e, I think that we can all agree that 5th Edition has brought Dungeons and Dragons, the game that we all love, the RPG that started it all further into the mainstream than any Edition previously. I don't want to go as far as saying that
it is the savior of D&D, but it's probably the savior of WOTC (Wizards of the Coast) right? So, this is the edition that I play now. The Fifth Edition is the edition that brought me back to the game. The Fifth Edition of Dungeons & Dragons has rekindled my love for the game and it has certainly brought a lot of joy into my life, and back to my table.
Honestly, it's why I've started this blog, it's why I created a Youtube channel, it's why I'm here writing to you guys right now. I want to talk about D&D. I'm excited! I'm jazzed! I'm ready to talk about D&D. I'm ready to play D&D! I'm ready to delve down into the tiny details of D&D! And that is thanks to Fifth Edition.
So, what can you expect from the RollStats YouTube channel? Let's be clear. I'm not here to run ads. You'll never see ads on this blog. I'm not here to sell you anything. I don't have any affiliate links. I'm not trying to make any ad money. I'm not trying to make any affiliate money. I'm here to talk about D&D with other folks that are interested in talking about D&D. That's exactly what you can expect from the RollStats Youtube page.
I don't claim to be the best dungeon master in the world. I don't claim to be the best player in the world. I'm here to ask you questions and talk through things that I'm experiencing in my game, things that I'm experiencing at my table, and I'm hoping that you will respond in the comments with your answers, your thoughts, and your opinions so that we can all dig on the game that we love!
So, if you want to see videos about D&D head over to the new RollStats YouTube page and subscribe. I'll be pushing out new videos every Tuesday and Thursday featuring Dungeons & Dragons RPG discussion and theory, along with reviews of Dungeons & Dragons RPG Products and Accessories, both new and old.

I will concentrate on the most important aspect of free movement of goods.
Article 34 of the treaty on the functioning of the European Union.
Three cases from the court of justice will be used as illustrations.
The Dassonville case, the Cassis de Dijon case, and the Keck case.
You'll find the relevant cases in the reading materials for this lecture.
imports and all measures having equivalent affect.
So the first question to ask is what is quantitative restrictions?
It is a kind of restriction on trade that is not common in the Union today.
Namely, that a state limits the quantity of products that can be imported.
that produce similar kinds of products.
We can leave that concept as it's not important in practice nowadays.
why is this scope so important?
equivalent effect is covered by the prohibition in Article 34.
in the case before the Court of Justice, that such measures can be permissible.
the practical effect, which is important.
Not the form of a measure.
It is often some kind of legislation that constitutes a measure.
But it does not have to be that.
having equivalent effect as a quantitative restriction.
However, the state must be involved in some way.
Private actions are not covered.
The involvement of the state does not have to be active.
Spanish lorriess carrying fresh fruits from entering into France.
In the Dassonville case the court defined the scope of Article 34.
As we have seen, it does not have to be a measure we usually define as a rule.
The reference to trading rules can also be other measures.
In some, the potential scope of Article 34 is extremely wide.
the scope of Article 34 do not have to be prohibited.
by the public interest grounds in Article 36 in the treaty.
archaeological value, and protection of industrial and commercial property.
So far, the situation is quite simple.
We have a wide prohibition and we have some exceptions.
to assess what kind of nation measures are allowed and not allowed.
This test was first expressed in the Cassis de Dijon case.
Cassis de Dijon, could not be imported to Germany.
Because it had a lower alcohol content than similar German products.
should contain at least 25 percent alcohol.
The German government advanced several arguments in support of this rule.
in the sense that it treated domestic and foreign products alike.
of different national regulations regarding product requirements.
similar enough to create good conditions for cross-border trade.
But this process is slow and cannot be used for all national requirements.
as a tool to foster trade where important public interests are not at stake.
the principle of mutual recognition was therefore applicable.
This principle implies that the product lawfully sold in one national market.
at all other national markets within the internal market.
This means that discrimination does not have to be demonstrated.
the principle of mutual recognition.
The court didn't, however, make the principle of mutual recognition absolute.
between national rules should be upheld due to mandatory requirement.
Such as consumer or environmental protection.
this balancing test is only applicable on indistinctly applicable rules.
That is to say rules that treat foreign and domestic products alike.
based on a mandatory requirement must be proportionate to the aim in view.
it should choose the means which least restricts the free movement of goods.
This is an expression of the principle of proportionality.
means that other justification grounds than those in Article 36.
Can be used to justify a measure if the conditions mentioned are fulfilled.
requirements which can potentially justify a trade restriction.
another development in the case law which complicate this picture.
the limits of the principles developed by the court.
If shops could open on Sundays, they could sell more goods.
And some of those goods would be imported from other member states.
The restrictions on Sunday trading thus affected trade between the member states.
The court found that these measures were justified by legitimate social goals.
if such rules should have to be tested at all by the court in Luxembourg.
demarcation line regarding the scope of Article 34.
These have been in the Keck case.
of goods at a price lower than the actual purchase price.
which was outside the scope of Article 34.
effect the marketing of domestic products and those from other member states.
therefore, no need to justify it on the basis of a mandatory requirement.
And it was not necessary to show that it was proportionate to it's aim.
has taken a rather restrictive approach.
have not been considered as rules relating to selling arrangement.
This brings us to the end of the lecture.
