"Damn. I knew there was nothing good about Jack. He really took us all for fools. ”

Neil. Barry slammed the post-game report that Jack had sent him on the table.

Angry.

Anger is no longer enough to say anything about Neil. Barry's current situation. Neil. Barry is a very kind person among the referees in England, and his temper is also very good. Neil. Barry wasn't a very good referee in his refereeing career.

In a word, he was able to survive to the end as a referee in the 70s, relying on his qualifications, not his achievements. On the results of Paul of the year. Dugin, Graham. Babbel is also good for their results than Neal. Barry good.

Neil. Barry has not been the best referee in his years of refereeing since he became a referee in the seventies. Even when his contemporaries became Premier League referees, Neil Brown. Barry is also enforcing in the lower leagues.

But Neil. Barry is popular and good-tempered, unlike Paul. Dugin was so domineering. So when choosing, Premier League referees all think that Neil. Barry is more suited to be the head referee. And therefore Neil. Barry eventually became the head referee.

But this time Neil. Barry was genuinely angry. And not in general angry.

Jack, Jack.

Jack is too good at problems. Although Jack's post-match report was perfectly done, you couldn't tell anything. All the procedures were done without any problems. But as long as you are smart, you can see what is going on.

He wants to fool anyone.

"Huh."

Mike. Riley could only smile wryly beside him.

What can be said.

It's a plain deal. Jack, a top referee in England, suddenly ran to officiate the second round of the League Cup, which was a very unexpected thing. No one could guess what he was going to do.

It can be said that all the Premier League referees at the time did not understand why Jack went to officiate the second round of the League Cup.

Now everyone understands.

As long as you are not a fool, as long as you are not blind. are able to know.

"Mike, it can't be like this. We're going to talk to Jack again. If the other referees learn from Jack one by one. Then it's really going to be messed up. And if we don't allow other referees to do that, how can we explain to other referees when the time comes? ”

Neil. Barry worries the most. The referees in the Premier League have done the same.

Originally, many of the games like the second round of the League Cup were given to the Championship referees. That is, where they show their opportunities and add to their resumes. They need a stage like that to add some leverage to themselves as Premier League referees. It's not in the right place for you, a top referee in the Premier League, to steal their jobs.

You're also taking advantage of opportunities like this to give you the opportunity to be a young referee.

It's just too immoral.

In the current Premier League, although Jack is the most famous, Jack cannot be said to be the most powerful and can subdue all Premier League referees. After all, among the Premier League referees, there are also former England's best referees Bol and Gallagher, who are currently semi-retired. There's also Mike. Riley, Bennett, Halsey are international referees. As for Webb, Clattenberg, Atkinson, these people need not be mentioned.

For Jack to officiate the second round of the League Cup, Neil. Barry couldn't refuse. Also if it turns out to be a few referees above, Neil. Barry couldn't say no either.

If they play Jack's game, it won't be messed up then.

After all, there are no Premier League referees who have some promising young referees, and there are not many young players in the lower leagues. Those people also need opportunities.

"But how?"

Mike. Riley smiled wryly.

Not your average wry smile. Jack was blatant, but every one of his actions was in accordance with the procedure. What else can the referee committee say. Can you still punish Jack?

There's no reason for it.

Jack just insisted that he had a stomach ache because of indigestion, and what reason did your referee committee have to punish others. Wouldn't the referee be allowed to get sick yet?

"It's not okay to talk about it openly."

Neil. Barry also understands that this kind of thing is well known. It's not good for everyone to say it. When the time comes, it will be jacked by Jack. How will everyone step down when the time comes. And just like that, the referee committee didn't say that there was no reason to punish Jack, and even if there was a reason, it was impossible to really punish Jack.

Hence Neil. Barry thought about it for a moment, then said, "Mike." You talk about it. Point it out to him, this kind of thing is only one example, not an example. ”

"It's easy."

Mike. Riley nodded.

Since Jack came to the Premier League. Mike. Riley helped Jack a few times. Although the personal relationship between the two cannot be said to be very good, there are absolutely no problems with it. When there is usually nothing to do. Everyone also drinks in private.

"But, Neil. What about the other referees. ”

Jack is not a two-skinned face. If you do this kind of thing once, you won't continue to do it. As long as you talk to Jack in private, Jack doesn't have the face to continue like this. It's also about the face of a top referee. So there's definitely no problem on Jack's side.

The problem is the other referees.

Why can you only play like this with Jack. At this time, it is estimated that the other referees are regretting it, why they didn't think of it. But Neil. Barry obviously can't allow this to happen again, so they will definitely not allow other Premier League referees to learn from it. But forbidding them to do such things, how to give them an explanation.

"I'll talk to them personally. There will be nothing else. ”

Neil. Barry has a headache.

I have to talk to those Premier League referees one by one, and I can't say it too bluntly. But Neil. Barry believes the top referees in the Premier League will understand what they mean.

Bol and Gallagher are already semi-retired, and have even submitted their retirement applications. At most, in a few months, they will be fully retired. Others such as Webb, Mike. Riley, Halsey, Bennett, and others probably don't have the same shameless skin as Jack.

As for the average Premier League referee, there is no courage like Jack.

Fortunately, it was Jack, if it was other ordinary Premier League referees who dared to play this kind of trick of darkness. Even if the referee committee does not pursue it this time. It will also make him look good in the back.

So it looks like it's difficult, but it's not too hard to actually do.

"Okay. I'll talk to Jack on his side. ”

…………

"Jack, you let me tell you what's good."

Mike. Riley sees Jack who is calmly drinking. I can't say anything serious. Don't say Mike now. Riley hasn't retired yet, even if Mike Lee. Riley became the head referee, and he couldn't do anything to Jack.

Neil. Barry can't do anything to Jack right now, let alone Mike. Riley.

"If you want to give a young referee, there's a way. Why bother with this. ”

With Jack's current status, there are many ways to promote young referees. Just like Craig. A young referee like Posen, if Jack wanted to, could have let him officiate in League One in a short period of time. And as long as you really work hard, within two or three years let Craig. It is not difficult for Posen to become the referee of the Championship.

Why be in such a hurry.

Mike. Riley wasn't polite either. Take Mike. Riley and Jack's personal relationship. And everyone knows this matter, so there is no need to hide it. Hence Mike. When Riley saw Jack, he directly said that it was wrong for Jack to do this.

"Mike, come and sit down. Drink some wine and don't get angry in such a hurry. ”

Jack didn't care at all.

This wasn't a problem for Jack at all. Therefore, Jack is very calm, and Jack has long known that someone will come looking for him. And it should be Mike. Riley Jack thought of it all.

Neil. Barry is also the chief referee no matter what he says, and he also needs to be proud of his identity.

He couldn't say anything serious to Jack, and he couldn't punish Jack, so he could only find a middleman to come over and order Jack. This man is among the current Premier League referees. Only Mike. Riley was able to serve.

"I just used the rules a little bit. Craig is very good, but his law enforcement style is more steady, not very brilliant. So it's hard to get everyone's appreciation. And he spent too long in the amateur league and wasted too long. It's only been a year since he became a referee in the soccer league. He was twenty-seven years old. If you go up the ladder, it will take at least six or seven years to become a Premier League referee. Or even longer. Then the identity is delayed. ”

Jack is really appreciative of Craig. Posen.

Although there is no overly outstanding performance, the strength is really good. What makes Jack look at it the most is Craig. Posen's steady. The style is very unpretentious. You may not be the best referee in this life, but you will definitely be a referee without many mistakes. He will definitely become the backbone of the Premier League referees in the future.

But it is precisely because his style is not distinctive. caused him to waste too much time in the amateur league.

He qualified as a referee at the age of eighteen, but it took almost eight years to delay in the amateur league. After that, he got a football league referee qualification. Now officiating in League Two, he is already twenty-seven years old.

Ten years ago, the 27-year-old League Two referee was not very old. At that time, the referee who became a Premier League referee was generally over 35 years old. However, with the reform of the professionalization of referees, there are more and more young referees.

In the current Championship, there are not a few 27-year-old referees. In recent years, many referees have become Premier League referees in their early thirties. Compared to them, Craig. Posen is really too old.

Craig. Posen can't afford it.

'Having officiated in the second round of the League Cup, I can speak for him and let him officiate in League One. Otherwise, he is a young referee who has only been officiating the League Two for a year, so why should he enforce the League One. ”

Jack, these top referees, are very powerful and have a status in the refereeing world.

But it can't be unscrupulous.

Jack, what they can do is to support their own people under the same conditions and give their own people more opportunities. But once the people you support are too poor and too far behind your opponents, then even if Jack wants to help, he can't go too far.

After all, everyone is watching.

There are referees who have been enforcing in League Two for several years. Posen will be able to skip the relegation to League One. If you want to enforce League One, you definitely need some other shining points.

For example, as an assistant referee in the Premier League, such as officiating in the second round of the League Cup, etc. can be a reason for Jack to help in the future.

"......"

Mike. Riley was about to say something, but in the end he just shook his head. Then he smiled and said, "Jack, you're so optimistic about Craig. Referee Posen. I don't think he's anything. ”

"Nope. He's fine. ”

Jack was very determined this time. He then said: "He may not be the top referee because his style of enforcement is not characteristic. Any top referee has its own enforcement characteristics, but Craig doesn't. But that's about it. He's a very rare error, he's a very steady referee. We in England need a stalwour like him. Just like our Premier League referees, we don't need too many referees with distinct personal characteristics, on the contrary, we need referees like Craig. ”

"For a referee, if there are no mistakes in the rules, that is a good referee. That's what we need for qualified judges, not maverick judges. ”

Mike. Riley only sighed.

Thinking to myself, Craig. What shit luck did Posen take. Let Jack like it so much. But the last word Mike. Riley couldn't agree more. A referee who is decent and does not make many mistakes is a good referee.

That's too good to say.

Because Mike. Riley is one such referee. Before him there was Paul. Dugin, Gallagher, Bol are all shining, and there are top referees like Webber and Jack behind him.

Compared to them, Mike. Riley really felt mediocre.

But Mike. Riley's greatest ability is to make fewer mistakes and be decent. He has always felt inferior to this, and looking at one genius after another in the refereeing world, he can only be overshadowed.

But now he was very happy to hear Jack's words. It's like someone affirming their abilities.

But soon Mike. Riley walked out of his excitement and said, "Jack, you're embarrassing us. You know what I'm talking about. ”

"I understand. Mike, you can rest assured. I know what to do. Howard, Mark, Martin and I'm going to help you out, they won't mess around like me. I'm sorry if this time has bothered you. ”

Mike. Riley really didn't know what to say at this point.

Jack is a singleton at work.

Very direct admitted, very direct apology. And then there's a pair, and that's what I am, and what can you do with me.

"Then I'll be relieved."

"Go back and tell Neil. I have a suggestion that we Premier League referees don't need to go to the lower leagues to officiate too many games. Even if he goes to officiate in the lower leagues, he should be the fourth referee to help the young referees. The income from the lower leagues is not uncommon for us. Why bother squeezing other people's space. ”

Premier League referees have a certain task to go to the lower leagues to officiate games.

Many Premier League referees have to officiate at least three or four games in the Championship and League One a year. Although this is not a hard and fast rule, it is also a rule in the industry. Jack disagrees.

It's better to be the fourth referee and train some young referees.

"I'll talk to Neil about this." (To be continued.) )
