Concession decision

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A concession decision ( Latin concedere , to concede) is a subjective value judgment of a referee's decision, usually made in sport , in connection with a previously controversial factual decision . It is assumed that the referee tries to correct the previously controversial or incorrect decision , of which he has become aware in the meantime, through another unjust or incorrect decision in favor of the team concerned.

The referee's decision-making has not yet been thoroughly researched, so that incorrect decisions should be counteracted through referee training.

Due to the technical progress and the consequent introduction of the video assistant for the immediate review of important, questionable decisions, there is hope that concession decisions in the top competitions of German football will occur less frequently. Therefore, discussions about this could increasingly fail in the future, as referees no longer have to try to correct their decisions afterwards.
