"I don't know what the meaning of the referee's random decision is, I don't want to be clear, I just know that our win was taken away by the shameless bandits, Notts County will appeal after the game, we want to be treated fairly, we will fight with our strongest attitude, not just one person can take the three points we get!"

David's words were categorical and inviolable. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The reporters were very happy, although David did not attack the FA by name, but the insinuation is already very obvious, if Notts County insists on protesting, then the FA will be very headache, everyone has a good show.

The next day, the major newspapers put the summit clash between Arsenal and Notts County on the front page, and there was indeed something extremely eye-catching in it.

"The top game ended in a draw, and Arsenal equalized on the penalty spot in stoppage time"

Henry, Hero or Bear? 》

"Controversial penalty decides the outcome of the game, Henry is silent"

"Notts County Suffers a Fake Fall, Vows to Fight to the End"

……

At this time, the fans realized that there were so many stories happening in this battle for the top spot.

Henry faked falls?

So everyone found the game video with great interest, and watched the game at the last moment countless times, hoping to see the truth about fake falls and penalties.

Many fans were shocked to find that it seemed that Notts County defender Carvalho really did not take the initiative to contact Henry with his body, and Henry's fall seemed to be too exaggerated, completely contrary to the laws of physics, as if it was not controlled by the earth's gravity.

Although it was not particularly clear from several angles, it turned out that the suspicion of Henry's fake fall was too great.

It was a lively affair as Arsenal secured a draw through Thierry Henry's fake fall to keep the pressure on Notts County in the table, and if it weren't for this unwarranted penalty, Arsenal would have been thrown even further.

Fueled by Notts County, Henry became the target of public criticism all of a sudden, and fans turned up the previous example of Henry's fake fall, trying to prove that the French striker has a history of fake falls, and this time there is nothing to doubt.

Only Arsenal fans are weakly defending Henry, and even a professor of physics at University College London publicly proved that Henry's fall did not violate the laws of physics through calculation and simulation, but soon this sane guy was exposed to a scandal of academic fraud......

Things got worse, and Notts County, as David said, appealed to the FA with determination and tenacity, vowing to get an explanation for Notts County, and could not die so unjustly without anyone caring about it.

The FA and the English Professional Referees Board are also in a mess, and they are always the first to bear the brink whenever something big happens in English football.

In fact, several giant teams in the Premier League, there are some "special preferential treatment", before Manchester United and Liverpool, now there is one more Arsenal, these three teams are the Premier League's giant teams, and the referee will be somewhat biased.

For example, the famous "Ferguson time", such as Liverpool and Arsenal are the two clubs that have won the most penalties in the Premier League era, etc., may be a trivial advantage, but for other clubs, it is very unfair.

The FA was under increasing pressure and had to launch an investigation and meet frequently with the refereeing committee to finally reach a preliminary conclusion.

However, this conclusion made everyone scratch their heads, cry and laugh, and even didn't know how to make it public.

The referee was not clearly biased in favour of Arsenal, as evidenced by the majority of the game, not even the slightest so-called home whistle, except for a late penalty, which was absolutely impartial and strict.

And the penalty in stoppage time, the referee did not want to stand up for Arsenal, from his point of view at the time, it was a penalty, you know, he was under a lot of pressure to award the penalty at that time.

And after the match, after the referee observed the movements of Henry and Carvalho through a multi-angle lens, he had to admit that it was a misjudgment......

How can this be explained to the public?

Notts County did suffer an unwarranted disaster, but they had never heard of a mistake in the outcome of a match changed after a match, let alone a rematch, and they were really worried that releasing the truth would cause Notts County to rebel.

So, the FA sent someone to secretly contact Notts County, hoping that Notts County could turn a big thing into a small matter and give the FA a step down, which is good for everyone.

If not, it will definitely be a lose-lose situation, the FA announced the results of the investigation, Notts County still does not forgive, the FA is embarrassed, Notts County will definitely face serious penalties, and the gains outweigh the losses.

But David doesn't care, since there has been such a result, he knows that there is no way to change it, rather than this, it is better to ask for an attitude, if Notts County encounters similar things in the future, will it have to be silenced?

So the FA understood what David meant, and held a press conference on the third day after the game to clarify the misjudgment in this game.

The FA and the referees committee made it clear that this was a misjudgment, and the reason for the misjudgment was that the referee's position was limited and the view was blocked, not that there was any inside story as rumored, and the FA and the refereeing committee will always be committed to creating a fair and just league atmosphere.

The referee on duty also came forward to publicly apologize to Notts County and stated that he had absolutely no position on the issue, which was just a miscalculation.

After that, the FA fined Notts County chairman David £20,000 for speaking aggressively to the fourth official on the sidelines.

A spokesman for Notts County also said that he accepted the FA's punishment and accepted the result, and that misjudgments are inevitable in professional football, and he hopes that similar things will happen as little as possible in the future.

The reporters are not fools, and it is clear that the FA, the referees committee and Notts County have reached some sort of consensus and this press conference is all about the aftermath of this, so they don't have to play anymore.

Notts County did get a blessing in disguise with this miscalculation, as the FA privately promised that Notts County would henceforth be treated in the same way as the big clubs, rather than being a natural underdog.

And the FA and referee Hu also have the courage to admit their mistakes and Notts County does not continue to pursue them, but they have received a certain degree of support from fans, after all, everyone likes a fair official! (To be continued.) )
