Chapter 16: Sensational Penalties
"This ball, what's going on?"
"What are they doing!"
The FA Referees Committee evaluates referees. The more referees the FA focuses on cultivating, the more frequent the inspection. Just like Webber, Webber is clearly the referee that the FA is currently trying to develop, and his game is also a key focus.
Now Webb has overstepped the promotion to enforce the final of the promotion play-offs of the Anglo-African Union, which has attracted the attention of the FA. Those who support him, want to see his cousin. Those who oppose him want to see him make mistakes.
Therefore, in this game, the FA referees committee sent several heavyweight bosses to the scene to evaluate Weber's table.
For the whole game, Webb's table is still okay. It's still okay to control the game. There were no mistakes, for the referee, there were no mistakes, and the game went smoothly and passed first.
But who would have thought that such a thing would happen at the last moment.
"Hurry up and bring up the footage."
Philip Don, who was sitting in charge himself, looked very nervous. Webb was on top, and Philip Don was behind it. Because among the young referees, Webb is quite good.
Originally, there were many people who recommended Mike Dean, but Philip Tang admired Webb more. Philip Don appreciates Webb's decisiveness more than Mike Dean's control of the game.
But if Weber makes a serious mistake, even he will be affected at that time. Now that the game is about to end, Webber suddenly awarded a goal, which made Philip? Don was also shocked. So much so that Philip Don, who has always been steady, has a little tremor in his voice.
"Here we are."
On Philip Tang's side are all powerful members of the referee committee. In addition to Philip Don and Keith Ter, as well as Joe Geist of the Technical Committee, plus Conor Gallagher, the top referee in England at the moment.
They are all nervous. Because of Webb's penalty, the team that was promoted was directly decided. And in order to calm the situation, Weber has already shown four red cards and two yellow cards to the opponent. If this turns out to be unwarranted in the end, then Webber himself ruined his refereeing career, and the entire FA refereeing committee will be under tremendous pressure and questioned by the English football world.
"This ball ......"
'The ball did go over the goal line.
After all, it's a match in the promotion play-offs of the Anglo-African League, and there are still a lot of cameras here. Although it is not as good as the Hawkeye technique used in tennis matches, the general situation can still be clear.
The ball is completely over the goal line. It's just that the ball was in the air, and the goalkeeper was back and reacted quickly, so it was a matter of an instant. The director didn't notice it, but in the camera replay and slow motion, you can clearly see that the ball has crossed the goal line in the air. Even if there is no zĂ i, it is not clear, and there will be no situation where the goal line is unsolved.
"yes, it's over the goal line."
Several people breathed a sigh of relief. It's really over the goal line, so it's a different story.
"Assistant referee Christina is good, Howard is even better."
After Philippe Don was relieved, he immediately affirmed Christina and Weber. Christina, as an assistant referee, accurately spotted that the ball had crossed the goal line. This ability to observe, especially to sue the referee at this moment, is an excellent ability in itself.
But Philip Don admires Webb more. Cristina is an assistant referee and doesn't have to take on too much responsibility. He is only obliged to remind the referee that it is within the referee's decision to decide whether or not to adopt the final decision.
Webb adopted. It was a very difficult decision, and Weber actually adopted it. First of all, you can see the trust between Webb and his assistant referee, and on the other hand, you can see Webb's decisiveness.
"Yes, Howard is good."
"Howard is qualified to be the head referee of the soccer league."
Several people are sure of Webb. Because even when they were referees, no one dared to say that they would dare to award a goal in such a situation.
Courage!
Everyone always appreciates the courage of the judges. On the field, the referee is the authority, and if there is no courage and courage, the referee will not be trusted.
"Yes. Howard does qualify to officiate the soccer league. â
Several bigwigs are quite appreciative of Weber.
"Christina, this little girl is good."
Gallagher praised Christina after everyone had praised Webb. Gallagher, as one of the most senior referees in the Premier League, is more familiar with the referees in the Premier League.
"A student of John Taylor."
"John's student?"
Conor Gallagher is the Premier League's top referee and has no position on the refereeing committee. But as the referee of the Premier League, he can directly participate in a lot of the work of the referee committee and the technical committee, which is the prerogative of the referee of the Premier League. Now that the Premier League has just ended, I will be involved in this assessment of Webb.
He is not familiar with Christina, only knows that it is Philip? A referee that Don admires. Didn't expect it to be John? Taylor's disciple. So turn your head to look at Christina? Taylor said, "Your student? â
"Well, it's okay."
John? Taylor flaunts his disciples.
"Very decisive. It is rare to be able to judge so accurately in such a game, and such an assistant referee. â
âŚâŚâŚâŚ
After the game
"Ouch. Christina, you scared the hell out of me. â
Brett Vaughn couldn't help but pat his chest as he entered the lounge. After all, the game could not be finished properly, because it was simply an unacceptable result for the players of Gateshead.
Webb decisively gave four red cards and two yellow cards, but it still did not quell the anger of the Gateshead players. After all, they have been in their current position after a season. They failed like this, they didn't become a player in League C, how could they be reconciled.
Webb wasted no time either, blowing the whistle for the end of the game as soon as stoppage time was over. At the end of the game, these players were even more unrelenting.
Especially for Christina, and for the referee Webber, it is completely necessary to ask for an explanation. However, Webber did not relent, and after the game, he also gave three red cards to the Gateshead players and a red card to the head coach of Gateshead.
The Gateshead team received a total of eight red cards throughout the game, all in the final minutes of the game, as well as six yellow cards. In the end, it was only with the protection of the security guards that he was able to return to the referee's lounge.
"It's the first time I've seen anything like this." Christina, with a frightened face, said that Webber still had a firm expression, but he was also beating a drum in his heart now!
Christina felt that her soul was about to be scared off, the boos of more than 10,000 people at the scene and the abuse and pushing of the players, Christina is now extremely grateful to Weber, and Mike Dean was dissatisfied on the sidelines, but seeing Christina who was already like this, I didn't want to say anything, but now the referee team is a grasshopper on a rope, no one wants to slip away, but this goal-line penalty is right! Dean was thinking about it when the door to the referee's dressing room opened
