"Jack, you're the referee. You talk about it. ”

Meeting.

Originally, the Premier League referee meeting was held every two weeks, and it was all about small things. Once every two weeks, it's basically a regular meeting, and it's nothing. The Premier League referees meet every two months, and the discussion is on more important issues. For example, some of the problems that have arisen in the past two months, and some judges with low ratings have been removed from the elite group, etc.

But immediately after the first round of the Premier League, the English referees committee held a general meeting.

There are heads of various departments of the referee committee, and there are also those veteran referees who participate as consultants. Of course, the Premier League referees needless to say, the Premier League referees are all present.

There were too many problems in the first round of the Premier League.

The match between Manchester United and Newcastle broke out into a huge clash. Bol alone pulled out twenty yellow cards, including coaches, players and even substitutes. Pol finally calmed down the situation. But twenty yellow cards broke the Premier League record.

But then there was a big deal in the game that Jack enforced. Fortunately, there was no large-scale clash like Manchester United. But after the game, Leeds United was very dissatisfied and sorted out the materials to complain about Jack.

Similarly, in his post-match report, Jack criticized Leeds United's players by name.

It's not just these two games. Wimbledon's Cunningham and their assistant coach Harford were also included in the referee's post-match report for attacking the referee.

Mess around.

In the real chaos, the eyes of the entire English football world are focused on the conflict between the referee and the player. Therefore, the FA can't sit still, and the referee committee is even more so.

Therefore, in today's meeting of the referee committee, not only the senior members of the referee committee were present, but also the FA's newly appointed executive chairman Adams Crozl was also present.

"Yes."

Jack stood up and was confronted by Adams Kreuzl and Philip Don. Jack confronted them and said solemnly, "I think the current situation has reached the point where it can't be solved now. ”

"I was in a situation like this a lot when I was in the lower leagues. The players don't have the slightest respect for the referee, they don't have the slightest trust. As long as it is unfavorable to himself, he will come over at will to blame the referee and resist the referee's decision. In such a situation, it is simply impossible to enforce the law smoothly. ”

"It's like the previous two days. Leeds United's Lee Bowyer was openly on the pitch and said he was going to break my leg. I was shocked that this was the Premier League. But the Premier League players were so contemptuous of the referee that they directly threatened the referee on the field. And Ian Hart, who just pushed me away. I think how can the authority of the referee be so low to enforce the game. ”

Jack was thrilled as he spoke.

Mom's.

Being a referee in the Premier League is much more difficult than in the lower leagues. These Premier League stars don't take the referee seriously at all, so how can they enforce the law. Although the meeting is now held by the president of the FA, the heads of various departments of the refereeing committee, and the advisory team composed of retired veteran referees. But Jack doesn't hide his thoughts at all, and he has to say whatever he has to say.

Because this matter has a close relationship with me.

"Now the FA and our referees are too indulgent with the players. Players insult the referee, defy the referee's decision, and blame the referee's decision, but there is no rule for this. Alan Smith and Lee Bowyer were insulting the referee on the pitch, but I couldn't give them a yellow card. I feel like that has to change. ”

When Jack finished speaking, he sat down. Jack is here to express his opinion, but he is also self-aware. There were so many people gathered at this meeting to discuss important matters. You can't take up too much time on your own.

"Yes."

After Jack finished speaking, Pol immediately supported Jack. Bol was also the referee in question, with 20 yellow cards breaking the Premier League record. Certainly not a very glorious record.

"Jack is a young referee. Some people may think that a Premier League star is underestimating a young referee and therefore disrespecting him. But that's not the case at all. The current situation in the Premier League is that referees generally have no authority, not just for young referees. They don't take referees to heart from the bottom of their hearts. And we can't do anything on the pitch because there's no specific rule on that. ”

A lot of the referees just nodded.

The relationship between the referees in the Premier League is poor, really bad. It's completely different from what outsiders imagine. There are less than 20 Premier League referees, but there are several factions, and they are constantly attacking. Among the twenty judges, if it is subdivided, six or seven small teams can be divided.

But on this matter today, everyone is on the same page. Because we are all victims, we all have the same interests in this regard.

Looking at the referee's unanimous thoughts, Philip Don smiled at it. In the past, in order to professionalize referees, he couldn't offend the FA and Premier League clubs too much, so he made a lot of concessions in many aspects.

But now it's different.

The professionalization of referees has finally succeeded. The next step for Philippe Don is to strengthen the authority of referees and make referees a real pole in English football, able to stand up to the FA and Premier League. Let the referees also start to participate in the big cake of English football.

This time it came out well, and it came out too well.

Philip Tang wants to take advantage of this incident to rein in the power of the referee and strengthen the authority of the referee.

"I think that's a big problem too."

Paul Dugin rarely speaks, and the meeting is relatively silent. Guess what Paul Dugin wanted to say, Gallagher said better. That's why he doesn't usually talk much.

Although he is also the boss of a faction, he rarely participates in meetings. I didn't expect to speak so quickly today.

"In the past few years, it should be said that after the establishment of the Premier League, the salaries of players have become higher and higher, and the income of Premier League clubs has become higher and higher. This has also cultivated these Premier League players to be more than one uncle, they are all millionaires, and they don't take referees seriously at all. This is not normal. ”

Or Paul Dugin.

Jack and Bol are talking about issues that are not mandatory on the side of the FA and the refereeing committee. But Paul Dugin says the root cause. Why is the status of referees low now, and the players look down on referees more and more.

That's one.

In the process of the development of English football, the big cake has been divided between Premier League clubs and Premier League players. It is now common for Premier League players to earn more than a million pounds, and the highest salary has exceeded three million pounds.

In addition, the players have a lot of other income, and there are an unknown number of millionaires.

And what about the referees?

In order to ensure a little bit of living wages, I don't know how many years I have struggled. This year, the income of referees has just changed, but it is still a big difference compared to the players. Such an imbalance naturally creates a situation for the referees and players.

"Adams, what do you say?"

After listening to the referee, Philip Tang asked FA president Adams Crozele. But Adams Kreuzl shook his head and said to Philip Don, "I'm just here to sit in today." The impact of this round is too bad, and I am waiting for the opinion of the referee committee. Then the FA will also come up with an opinion. ”

Philip Don nodded.

Although Kroezl did not express his position directly, the sentence "the influence of the game is too bad" expressed his attitude from the side. So Philip Don had the confidence.

"So let's talk about how to deal with the problems in the game and how to prevent them from happening in the future."

"Handle, handle."

Gallagher expressed his opinion just after Philip Don had finished speaking. When the rest of the referee committee did not comment, Gallagher did so. The status of the Premier League's top referees can be seen from the side.

"We have to make an example. The referee committee should deal with the players involved. There are also those Premier League clubs, the FA should also punish them. Bans, fines, warnings, it should all be there. ”

As the Premier League's top referee, Gallagher's officiating international matches is far easier than officiating Premier League matches. Because on the European continent, the authority of referees is much higher than that of Premier League referees. Of course, the current level of referees on the European continent is much higher than that of Premier League referees.

When enforcing the Premier League, Gallagher was also questioned by the players. This made Gallagher quite unhappy as well. He is now not only a top referee in the Premier League, but even a better referee in European football. But in his own league, he doesn't feel the respect of the players at all, how can he be satisfied.

"Not only that, but the FA and the referees committee should come up with some new provisions. There should be a special clause for players who insult the referee and oppose the referee on the field. A red card is a red card, and a yellow card is a yellow card. Be clear. ”

Philip Tang was very pleased with Gallagher.

Although Bol was the referee of the referees' committee, Philip Tang was more satisfied with Gallagher. Because Gallagher knows his own mind better. Ball is strong in business.

"Joe, what do you say?"

Philip Don turned his head and asked Joe Geist. Joe Geist is the boss of the technical committee, and now it has a different name, but it has the same function. This kind of ** new rule, Joe Geist can't get around.

"Yes. The authority of the referee must be upheld. ”

Joe Geist said very little, but the meaning was clear. Support such a rule to protect referees.

"Keith, what do you think?"

"Yes. In the current situation, we referees do need protection. ”

"Okay."

Today belongs to the General Assembly, but real resolutions do not come out in such a meeting. The real clause will be created after discussion between the head of the refereeing committee and the top referees in the Premier League.
