"Congratulations, Jack."

It's not just the Premier League referee who congratulates Jack, but even Keith. Hackett and Joe. When Geist came in, he also congratulated Jack.

Because Jack is really different.

With winning the Premier League Referee of the Year award in 2002, Jack has a real foothold in English football. It is no longer the flowering outside the walls of the past, but has begun to truly become a pivotal referee in English football.

Best Referee.

Since the establishment of the Premier League, there have been few best referees in the Premier League for more than a decade. The best referee at the beginning of the Premier League, except for Paul. Dugin, the rest of the people are retired. And in the mid-to-late nineties, the best referee in the Premier League was Bol and Conor Gallagher taking turns.

Among the current Premier League referees, there are only three who have actually won the best referee in the Premier League.

Paul. Dugin, Graham. Pol, Dermott. Gallagher.

Even Neil, the next chief referee. Barry has never won the Premier League referee of the year. Paul. The reason why Dugin is so good is because he is the only one of the referees left by the older generation who has won the best referee in the Premier League. And he's not just won it once, he's won the English top flight referee many times.

That's why he's so tough in the Premier League.

In other words, among the current Premier League referees, Jack will become the fourth person to win the Premier League referee of the year. This way, no one will ever underestimate Jack and question Jack's qualifications.

"Thank you."

After a few people congratulated, the meeting began.

It started out as something very simple, but it quickly moved on to some important topics. As long as it gets into important issues. Everyone will post their opinions.

'Finally, let's talk about the referee in the Carabao Cup final.

There are controversies and contradictions. Discuss the discussion though. See who has the most support, and whose proposal is it. But slowly into this meeting. The most important issues.

The Carabao Cup final in early March.

Now there are only semi-finals and finals left in the Carabao Cup. The list of referees for the League Cup semi-finals has just been discussed, and now the referees for the League Cup final are left.

"Let's talk about it. The referee for the League Cup final. ”

This is the first time in the history of English referees that the referee of the League Cup final has been discussed at a meeting of Premier League referees. After all, the referee committee would not have had such great power before. Philip. Tang made a decision after discussing with several high-level executives and several top referees.

The referee of the League Cup final.

At present, there are several referees in the Premier League who are eyeing this game. After all, the League Cup final is also a final, and in a game like law enforcement, the resume will be very good-looking. But there aren't many who are really qualified to officiate this game. It's just two or three people.

"Steve: Good."

Paul. Dugin was the first to speak. He's suffocated these days because he looks at his nemesis Neil. Barry became the only candidate for the head referee, and he was very resentful.

After all, in terms of seniority although he is slightly inferior to Neil. Barry, but in terms of performance in the refereeing industry, he is better than Neil. Barry. When he won the Premier League referee of the year. Neil. Barry is yet to reach the top flight of England. Achievements in the refereeing industry, Neil . Barry is no match for himself at all. But now he is the candidate for chief referee, not himself. Therefore, I was even more unconvinced.

This time, there are a lot of qualifications for the final of the League Cup, but there are also not many. Hence Paul. Dugin recommended Bennett, Steve. Bennett.

"Paul, did you recommend Coach Bennett as an assistant referee for the Carabao Cup final? I think it's a good proposal. ”

Such a joke, even a sarcasm of Paul. Dugin's only one man, Graham. Babel. The boss will retire at the end of the season. He was already a well-known stinky stone among the Premier League referees.

Now I'm close to retirement. He has no scruples.

Graham. Babbel's words came out, Paul. Dugin was furious, while Bennett, who was next to him, blushed. Because Graham. Babbel is a direct sarcasm of Bennett.

You're an assistant referee while playing.

At present, these Premier League referees are all assistant referees and referees who are cross-promoted. Especially after becoming a referee in a football league. Basically, people rarely work as assistant referees anymore. Basically, I said goodbye to the assistant referee, and I was promoted in accordance with the promotion rules of the referee.

But Bennett's promotion was completely different.

He has been promoted as an assistant referee all the way, and has even become an international assistant referee. Then he changed careers and became the referee. In the end, he became the referee of the Premier League. This has been criticised by Premier League referees.

"Hmph. Graham, you're about to retire. Why bother. ”

Paul. Dugin didn't speak, but Gallagher next to him spoke. Gallagher's words are also tingling. Tell Graham. Babel. You're about to quit the stage, so there's no room for you to speak here.

Jack watched both sides choke, while the others didn't speak. So he chime in with a smile: "I think Mike. Riley referees are the best fit. ”

Jack rarely interjected so suddenly.

Because Jack is not qualified after all, Jack knows how to restrain himself. Of course, as Jack's status in the refereeing world grows higher and higher, Jack also becomes stronger and stronger. But strong is strong, but they are all about protecting their own interests.

It's rare to express your opinion at such a time.

Therefore, everyone was surprised at first, not because of the candidate proposed by Jack, but because of Jack's sudden expression of his opinion. Including Paul. Dugin and Gallagher looked at Jack in surprise.

But as if he hadn't seen them, Jack continued, "Mike. Riley referees are experienced and capable and are fit to officiate in League Cup finals. I think Mike. Riley referees are the most suitable. ”

After Jack finished speaking, he looked at the crowd.

Webb saw that Jack finished speaking, and also said, "I also think that Mike. Referee Riley is the most suitable candidate. ”

After Jack and Webb finished speaking, these Premier League referees present all looked at each other. Jack and Webber are the stars of the English refereeing scene who have emerged in recent years, and because they have always been on the same page in the Premier League refereeing meetings, everyone thinks that the two of them are allies.

Of course, Jack and Webb are allies.

There is no one who is the boss between the two people, on the contrary, the two people are huddled together for warmth. Because both of them are too low-qualified, they can only help each other in this way.

However, although the two people are allies, under normal circumstances, they are to protect the interests of the two people, and they will not interfere with things that do not belong to them. It belongs to the Premier League referees, and does not mix with the combination of these things.

I didn't expect this time it turned out to be Mike together. Riley.

Quite a few people started looking at Mike. Riley. Mike. Riley is popular in the Premier League and everyone knows it. And he gets Neil. Barry and Graham. Bol's support, everyone knows this.

Of course Mike. Riley's relationship with Jack and Webb is not bad either. But what everyone didn't expect was how Webb and Jack could suddenly support Mike so strongly. Riley.

Jack and Webb certainly don't support Mike casually. Riley.

The two of them can be said to be in their own league among the referees of the Premier League, and the status of the two of them is rising rapidly, so they don't even need to look at the eyes of those old referees. Even with Mike. No matter how good Riley is, he will not support it casually. Because it would offend Paul. Dugin and Gallagher.

The reason why the two people supported Mike. Riley, because of and Mike. Riley made a deal.

Mike. Although Riley is a veteran referee, he has never had a masterpiece. He himself knows that he doesn't have enough strength to officiate too many heavyweight bouts. But he is the one who wants to be the chief referee in the future, so he can't be too columsy in his refereeing career. You need to have some heavyweight bouts to add points to yourself.

That's why he found Jack and Webb. His conditions are simple and this season Jack and Webb are backing Mike. Riley became the referee for the League Cup final in return for next season. Riley will support Webb in officiating the League Cup final. Also in the FA Cup final, Mike. Riley would also support Jack and Webb in enforcing the law. It's a quid pro quo.

Mike. Riley and Neil. Barry and Bol have a good relationship, plus Jack and Webb, no one can stop them. It's Keith. Neither can Hackett.

"yes, I think Mike. Riley refereed very well. ”

Bol is also smiling in support of Mike. Riley. Pol and Mike. Riley has been a friend and friend for many years. Such a time is of course to support Mike. Riley.

This time Mike. Riley's usual good popularity can be seen.

Pol, Jack, Webb were found to be supportive of Mike. Riley after usual and Mike. Riley's well-connected referees have all sided with Mike. Riley.

In fact, Bennett's strength is really good. But these referees here are actually the same as Graham. Babbel also looked down on Bennett's origins. You used to be an assistant referee for us, but now you're like a dog on our footing. This is something that none of them are satisfied with.

So all of them are supporting Mike. Riley.

Paul. Dugin and Gallagher looked at Jack and Webb's ugly faces. Bennett was supposed to be the most likely this time. Mike. Although Riley is popular, his ability is really not as good as Bennett.

But it was because Jack and Webb suddenly supported Mike. Riley, that's how things got out.

"Then decide Mike. Riley referees officiate matches in this season's Carabao Cup final. ”

Keith. Hackett saw so many referees supporting Mike. Riley, so announced Mike. Riley became the referee for the Carabao Cup final. (To be continued......)
