Chapter 30: Pyrrhic Victory and Punishment

This sudden but unusually hot court brawl did not last long, after all, it is still more sensible, everyone is a professional player, and knows how serious the result of this brawl will be.

After the two sides were separated, the referee found a sense of existence, took out a red card, came to the foul player in Reading just now, held it high, and sent him off the field.

The player knew that he, the initiator of the brawl, would not be able to escape the red card, but he did not go on immediately, he just wanted to see what the referee would do next.

Sure enough, a red card could not satisfy the dissatisfied referee, and he came to Mereles again and also sent the first person on the field out of the field.

Mereles behaved calmly, as if he had already expected the final outcome, and walked directly towards the players' tunnel without saying a word.

Notts County players rushed over to pat him on his shoulders as a sign of comfort, and fans in the stands chanted Mereles' name in unison, as if to cheer for the hero.

After showing two red cards in a row, the referee did not stop there, as if he wanted to regain the face he had just lost.

Kuyt, the Dutch fierce general, was the most active in the group of scuffles, plus another very active Reading player, and both were also sent off the pitch with red cards.

And that's not all, the two teams combined have 12 yellow cards, and few of them are clean.

The referee suddenly became the protagonist on the field, and once again became a god of life and death.

Everyone thought that the brawl was over, and all that remained was how the FA dealt with it after the game, but the referee seemed to be used to being the protagonist, and it became a habit to steal the scene, and he did not give up.

The guy with two shoe prints on his ass came to David, raised it without hesitation, and punished David to the stands.

David thought that the referee might not be able to see himself in the chaos just now, but who would have thought that the referee was sharp-eyed, and he still couldn't escape this red card.

turned around and walked to the locker room, David said in his heart that there was no pressure, watching the game there was the same, it was nothing more than the feeling of watching the game without the coach's seat, he was an assistant coach who sold dog meat with a sheep's head, and whether he was absent or not had no impact on the team.

When David got off the field, he also got enthusiastic cheers and shouts from the fans, and David, the chairman who is willing to invest a lot of money in the team, seems to be the most lovely existence in the hearts of fans.

David waved to the fans all the way, walked into the players' tunnel in a chic manner, and Loew was speechless for a while.

Feelings, this is what David told him, there are some occasions that are not suitable for the head coach to make a move, there is an assistant coach like him, it turns out that he does this professionally.

That punch is really called a **!

After the referee dealt with the brawl just now, he directly blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and returned to the lounge in a panic, presumably for fear that the players from both sides would beat him collectively.

With only nine players on both sides in the second half, there was no need to trouble the other side, and the game was finally back on track.

A reduction in numbers meant more space, and Notts County made the most of that, scoring four goals in the second half to score a 5-0 win over Reading after a heated brawl.

However, even if the score is good, this game can only be described as a pyrrhic victory.

Di Natale was tackled by the opponent, and although the results of the examination did not come out, it is estimated that it is not optimistic; Mereles and Kuyt were sent off with straight red cards and were unable to produce for the next game.

If it's just that he can't play in the next game, then Loew will probably be happy to death.

It's called stadium violence, and God knows how severely the FA will punish them after the investigation, and if those officials are in a bad mood, it is conservatively estimated that Mereles and Kuyt will not have to play for three months.

In addition, although the other players did not get red cards on the spot, it was more due to the chaotic situation at the time, the referee could not have looked at the six-way situation, and the FA will definitely watch the footage when it is time to investigate, David is sure that there will be someone in the squad who will be suspended.

To make matters worse, when a brawl broke out, a fan rushed into the stadium to do something, and this egregious behaviour could result in penalties for the Notts County club.

If it's just a fine, even if it's multiplied by ten times, David will not hesitate to pay for them, for fear that Notts County will be punished by banning fans from watching the game, and fans will not be allowed to enter the stadium to watch several home games, then it will be troublesome.

If the fans can't enter the stadium to watch the game, it's still called a fart home stadium.

Of course, the lost ticket revenue was not taken into account by David at all, and that was really a small amount of money.

At the press conference after the game, reporters who got the news rushed to Meiduo Lane for interviews, hoping to get first-hand information.

Stadium group fighting, even if it is a low-level professional league, it is rare to meet it, how can it not be mentioned if it attracts the attention of readers?

'Reading Rugby did a good job, they played a good game. What the? Is Reading a football club? Sorry, I really didn't see it, they played rugby the whole game, anyway, I've never seen such a brutal team, I don't want to say anything about the brawl, I know that I know, the injury to my player, the Notts County club will appeal to the FA, please wait for the result! ”

When Loew spoke, his tone was very unkind, and he really wanted to go up and strangle the Reading coach not far away.

Although it was Reading who was criticized, Loew wanted to scold the referee on duty today in front of the media, if it weren't for his inaction and allowing Reading to adopt savage actions, how could the game gradually get out of control, and the brawl would not have happened.

However, Loew still barely held back, because he knew that once the finger was pointed at the referee, then Notts County would be passive and would be punished more severely.

Crucially, Loew himself could be banned for attacking the referee's comments, which would be more than worth the cost.

If you attack the referee, it can be said by David, anyway, he is already doomed to be banned, and it doesn't matter if there are more lice or not, it doesn't matter how many games there are.

When the Reading coach spoke, he naturally put the conflict point of the brawl on Notts County, saying that he was also angry and had no place to vent, and the punishment that Reading would face was not small, but this game was lost, so he couldn't get angry!

Sure enough, the day after the game, the FA issued a penalty notice.

Merreles was suspended for 15 games and fined £2w;

Kuyt was banned for 12 games and fined £1w;

Lescott was suspended for 8 games and fined £1w, this guy just slipped through the net, and was found out after watching the video.

And David, as an assistant coach, also received a 10-game suspension, as well as a £1w fine.

In addition, the club imposed a fine of £5w due to management problems, and the north side of the stand was closed for the next three home games.
