Chapter 13: Pie in the Sky
After three days at Merck's house, Christina hurried back to England from Germany, she simply felt that she was favored by God, participating in the promotion of the Anglo-African Union, Christina was simply flattered, for Christina now, the days are no different, just like an ordinary little girl, except that she can't eat too much, those high-calorie foods and don't forget to exercise regularly, nothing else.
The '97-98 season is coming to an end. For English football, the end of the season is a time of great competition. There are FA Cup finals, as well as promotion play-offs for League One, promotion play-offs for League Two, promotion play-offs for League C, and promotion play-offs for Anglo-African United. These games are very important.
Don't underestimate those promotion play-offs. Because it is directly related to the fate of the club, these play-offs are very important in English football. Even in the small English League C promotion play-offs, the referees selected are all Premier League level referees.
For these heavyweight matches, the referee committee has been discussing the final referees. It wasn't until the discussion of the promotion play-offs in the Anglo-African League that someone brought up Howard? Weber's name.
"Howard? Weber? ”
"Yes. I think he's very good, he's been a referee and assistant referee in the regional leagues, and he's been a referee and assistant referee in the northern league. And Cousin Xiàn has been very good, I think he should have the ability to enforce this game. ”
The FA's referees' committee.
The '98-99 season is coming to an end. For English football, the end of the season is a time of great competition. There are FA Cup finals, as well as promotion play-offs for League One, promotion play-offs for League Two, promotion play-offs for League C, and promotion play-offs for Anglo-African United. These games are very important.
Don't underestimate those promotion play-offs. Because it is directly related to the fate of the club, these play-offs are very important in English football. Even in the small English League C promotion play-offs, the referees selected are all Premier League level referees.
For these heavyweight matches, the referee committee has been nervously discussing the final referees. It wasn't until the discussion of the promotion play-offs in the Anglo-African League that someone brought up Howard? Weber's name.
"What Christina Chang?"
Although, Weber caused controversy, but after all, Weber's father has been a referee for 35 years, and many of the old referees here are old acquaintances of Weber's father, and Webber is also a referee promoted by the FA, so Webber was cleared, but when Weber submitted the list of referees, a time bomb was detonated in the referee committee!
"Christina Chang! An eighteen-year-old girl should be an assistant referee in such an important game! "Several old referees thought it was an international joke!
"I don't think there's a problem either. I watched Howard too? Webber has been playing for a while and he is a very good referee and I am sure he will not be wrong. ”
John? Taylor, unlike his usual sitting there and rarely speaking, suddenly spoke in support of Webb. Although before John? Taylor also supported Webb, but never at such an important moment.
Because once Webb does officiate this game, it will be a decisive benefit for Webb's future. Because being able to officiate the Anglo-African United promotion play-offs is completely a matter for Premier League-level referees. With this experience, it was much easier for Webb to qualify as a referee in the football league. That's a year and a half.
"John, you ......"
A lot of old referees see John? Taylor was surprised to support Webb. Haven't heard of John? Taylor and Webb have such a deep relationship. John? Taylor smiled and didn't say anything else.
John? Taylor, of course, not for Webb. Although he had a good relationship with Weber, he had not yet reached the point of such strong support. John? The reason why Taylor pushed Webb was precisely for Christina, who was currently following Webb.
Since the success of the first collaboration, Christina has been following Webb. Even for this reason, there were a few Anglo-African linesmen.
"I think it's okay."
All of a sudden, there was someone up there who also supported Christina. Everyone didn't look up and knew who this person was. Because his voice is unique, domineering and loud.
If John? Taylor's greatest thing is his prestige, his connections in the refereeing community. But the real deterrent is not necessarily more than Philip? Tang Dynasty. Because of Philip? Don is a real powerhouse on the referee committee.
Philip? Don is known as the next England chief referee, which shows his strength in the world of English football.
"Philip, but Referee Christina is too young after all. She's only eighteen years old, and she's still a girl. ”
Or someone has finally spoken out about the problem. Christina is a girl, too young to be eighteen. is also very lacking in the qualifications of a man, how can he become an assistant referee in the promotion play-offs of the Anglo-African League.
"If you can have a 30-year-old coach and a 16-year-old or seventeen-year-old player, why can't the referee be young? As long as you have enough strength, what are you afraid of. Isn't it just a sign of the improvement of our refereeing standards in England, and who says girls can't be referees? It's a good thing to show the openness of our English football
Moreover, the UEFA Commission strongly supports the inclusion of more female referees in European football competitions.
Last Wednesday the committee announced that it had submitted a proposal to UEFA. According to the committee's count, only 20 to 30 percent of referees are women, and 20 out of 54 football associations even believe that this should be a man's task.
More female referees joining the law means more support for women's sports and an increased fight against ****** in the world of football. ”
Philip? Don's style is inherently tough, and everyone knows that. Old referees like John Taylor, although they have a lot of influence, rarely get involved in specific matters. But Philip? Tang is different, if he does something, he will definitely push it forward. In the FA, an organization that can't be slower than ever, Philip? A character like Don is definitely rare.
"Keith, what do you think?"
Philip? Don turned his head and asked Keith, another heavyweight on the referee committee? Hackett. He and Philip? Don is a figure in the same front, and they are all people who are committed to the professionalization of referees.
"I don't think it's a problem.
So, the list of law enforcement was determined!
