9 Red cards
"You're not crazy, are you?"
Jack's eyes widened and he looked at the mad referee in front of him in horror. Chris Claire actually held up the red card in front of Jack, and then said with a hideous face: "You, idiot, fuck me off!" ”
Jack's head was stunned for a moment, he couldn't believe it. Looking at Chris Claire, his head was empty for a moment. I couldn't even see Chris Claire in my eyes, only the red sign in his hand.
Red! Red! It's a red card!
Damn it. It turned out to be a red card.
"Mr. Claire, what are you doing?"
Seeing Chris Claire and Jack arguing, Brett Vaughn, who came over to prepare for adjustment, was completely overwhelmed. Brett Vaughn is the fourth referee, and if the introduction is simple, the fourth referee is the substitute referee.
The role of the fourth referee is to replace the referee and the two assistant referees in the event of any problems with them. Of course, the fourth referee is also graded.
The fourth referee with old qualifications can directly replace the referee when the referee is injured or has something. But if you don't have enough qualifications, like Brett Vaughn in front of you, when the referee is unable to continue to enforce the rest of the game, the first assistant referee will replace the referee, and Brett Vaughn will replace the first assistant referee.
This order is set before the competition. Prior to this game, the referee's first pick was the first assistant referee, and Brett Vaughn was the first assistant referee.
The original intention of the fourth referee is this, which is to substitute the referee. But as football games are becoming more and more formal, the role of the fourth referee is increasing. In addition to being a substitute referee, he needs to communicate with coaches on both sides of the pitch and stop activities on the sidelines that affect the game. Just like the referee crossing the line and affecting the game, the players wearing the game clothes to warm up are all things he needs to take care of. Of course, including substitutions, showing stoppage time, etc., are all things that the fourth referee has to do.
Now there is a dispute between the referee and the linesman, and the fourth referee will also have to include it in the post-match report. Originally, because Jack's position was a little far away, Brett Vaughn didn't care. But seeing that Chris Claire and Jack seemed to be arguing, and the stalemate was a bit long, Brett Vaughn came over to mediate the problem between Chris Claire and Jack. It's really a conflict between the referee and the assistant referee on the field, it's too ugly.
But before he could get to the scene, he saw the red card held up by Chris Claire, and his body froze in an instant.
What's going on?
The referee wants to send off the linesman? Nothing like this has ever been seen in any of Brett Vaughn's classes. As the fourth referee, he suddenly didn't know what to do? He had never learned what to do as a fourth referee when the referee sent off an assistant referee.
Although he is now an assistant referee in the Northern League, he is also a young referee. He passed the referee exam at the age of sixteen, but worked as a referee in the regional league for seven years. From assistant referee to head referee, a long time was wasted in the regional league. Then he came to the Northern League at the beginning of this year, and he can be regarded as experienced. But when have I seen or heard of the referee sending off an assistant referee?
Anyway, Brett Vaughn was angry, really angry. So immediately reprimanded Chris Claire. If it were a normal thing, Brett Vaughn, who has a somewhat cautious personality, would never have rebuked the referee like this. But he really has an empty head now, and he can't control his temper at all.
"I'm going to tell this idiot who doesn't understand bullshit that I'm the referee."
Alcohol is definitely a stimulant. The somewhat drunk Chris Claire had no idea how amazing his current actions were, which is a very frightening thing in the history of football for a hundred years.
He has only one idea now. Mom's, a little hairy child who has just passed the referee exam, dares to talk back to herself, it's really unbelievable. If I don't give you a little power, I don't know how many pounds and taels I have.
"The referee? I don't care about you. Garbage referees like you don't have the right to stand here. ”
Jack also woke up in a moment of surprise. When he woke up, Jack was furious. Shit, today is my first career as a linesman. I actually met this kind of crazy referee, and for such a dispute, he actually asked for a red card to send himself off. Where is this?
There was a father and a teacher sitting on it, and Jack wanted to show them his perfect abilities. I didn't expect to be ruined by this idiot referee. Not only that, but even if Jack is a fool, he knows that if this kind of thing happens, it will definitely affect his refereeing career.
"Fuck, you idiot, get out of here. Here I say what is what. ”
Brett Vaughn hurriedly stepped in between the two of them and said to Jack, "Jack, you go back first." ”
Brett Vaughn was really afraid of two people fighting. Don't say it's Chris Claire and Jack, even he, the fourth referee, will be affected by the pond fish.
He's not like Chris Claire, and being a football referee is just one of his hobbies. Chris Claire also doesn't have much ambition in the refereeing industry, after all, he is still in the Northern League at the age of 40, and it is basically impossible to officiate the real first four league games.
But Brett Vaughn is ambitious. He is only twenty-four years old now, and he has nearly two decades of refereeing career left. He hopes to be able to officiate in professional leagues such as League One and League Two in his lifetime, and of course he wants to have the opportunity to officiate in the Premier League.
That's why when Chris Claire gave Jack a red card, he was furious. He was afraid that this incident would affect himself and his future. I'm afraid that when the FA plays the board, the entire referee team will be involved. But things are already like this, he doesn't want the two of them to fight, and then it will really be out of control.
"Okay, I got it. You watch him well, don't let him get drunk on the pitch. ”
What Brett Vaughn feared wasn't going to happen. Jack was very angry, but he hadn't lost his mind yet. Being sent off by the referee has seriously affected Jack's future refereeing career, and he will not abandon his refereeing career for the sake of an alcoholic.
Once Chris Claire and Jack played live on the field, Jack's refereeing career would be completely ruined. Even with Jack Taylor's support, Jack can't get along in English football. The FA will definitely expel Jack from refereeing immediately, and even if Jack is not expelled from the refereeing team, Jack will definitely have no place in the refereeing industry. So Jack immediately turned around and left the court.
"Oh oh oh oh oh !!!!!!!!!"
The game was average, and the home team had just scored a goal, which was considered offside by Jack, which made the home team fans very unhappy with Jack. Now seeing that Jack was actually sent off by the referee, the fans in Stoke Harbor burst into cheers.
For the fans at Stoke Harbor, it was just too much fun. I don't dare to say that it is a rare occurrence in a hundred years, but at least it is a rare thing in football for decades.
"Red card! Red! What we saw, what we saw. The referee sent the disobedient linesman down, which was really funny. I'm sure the referee will send off the linesman and it will be a record in football history. The two of them will go down in the history books of English football referees. The referee sent off the linesman, hahaha! Let's cheer because we witnessed one of the best moments in the history of refereeing. ”
The on-site narrator was also very happy. It's such a fun thing to come out of the game.
"Shhh
As Jack entered the referee's lounge from the players' tunnel, the fans in the stands booed Jack. It's very rare for a linesman to receive such boos in a match.
Jack listened to the boos of the home fans, his face expressionless. Damn Chris Claire, he screwed up his debut. Before entering the referee's locker room, Jack looked back at Chris Claire, who was still on the field, and suddenly laughed.
It's a helpless smile. It's no wonder that the English media declare every day that England lacks good referees. A referee like Chris Claire, no matter how good his business is, just by looking at his attitude towards the game, you can see how bad the game he is officiating. The quality of referees is so poor, how can the level of England's lower leagues be improved.
"This ......"
Jack's father watched Jack disappear into the sidelines, not knowing what to say, only to look at Jack Taylor next to him.
"Huh-"
Jack Taylor was also speechless. He has been a referee for 33 years, and it is really unheard of to see the referee send off a linesman. I didn't expect my disciple to encounter it in his first lineman career.
This is no small matter. Jack Taylor thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to see Jack." ”
