"What's going on?"
"Crazy!"
The FA Referees Committee evaluates referees. The more referees the FA focuses on cultivating, the more frequent the inspection. Just like Webber, Webber is clearly the referee that the FA is currently trying to develop, and his game is also a key focus.
Now Webb has overstepped the promotion to enforce the final of the promotion play-offs of the Anglo-African Union, which has attracted the attention of the FA. People who support him, want to see him perform. Those who oppose him want to see him make mistakes.
Therefore, several heavyweights from the FA referee committee were sent to the scene to evaluate Webb's performance.
Throughout the game, Webb's performance was okay. Although there were more yellow cards in the beginning, the later game control was still okay. There were no mistakes, for the referee, there were no mistakes, and the game went smoothly and passed first.
But who would have thought that such a thing would happen at the last moment.
"Hurry up and bring up the footage."
Philip Don's face became rather solemn. Webb was on top, and Philip Don was on his back. Because among the young referees, Webb is quite good.
Originally, many people recommended Mike Dean, but Philip Tang admired Webb more. Philip Tang appreciated Webb's decisiveness and control of the game more than Mike Dean.
But if Webb makes a major mistake, even he will be affected at that time. Now that the game was about to end, Webber suddenly awarded a goal, which made Philip Tang tremble. So much so that Philip Don, who has always been steady, has a little tremor in his voice.
"Here we are."
On Philip Don's side are all powerful members of the referees' committee. In addition to Philip Don and Keith Hackett, as well as Joe Geist of the Technical Committee, plus Conor Gallagher, who is currently the top referee in England.
They are all nervous. Because of Webb's penalty, the team that was promoted was directly decided. And in order to calm the situation, Weber has already shown two red cards and two yellow cards to the other party. If this turns out to be unwarranted in the end, then Webber himself ruined his refereeing career, and the entire FA refereeing committee will be under tremendous pressure and questioned by the English football world.
"This ball ......"
'The ball did go over the goal line.
After all, it's a match in the promotion play-offs of the Anglo-African League, and there are still a lot of cameras here. Although it is not as good as the eagle eye used in tennis in the 21st century, the general situation can still be clear.
The ball is completely over the goal line. It's just that the ball was in the air, and the goalkeeper was back and reacted quickly, so it was a matter of an instant. As a result, everyone didn't notice it, but in the camera replay and slow motion, you can clearly see that the ball has crossed the goal line in the air. There is not even a situation where it is unclear and there will be no goal-line case.
"yes, it's over the goal line."
Several people breathed a sigh of relief. It's really over the goal line, so it's a different story.
"Assistant referee Jack is good, Howard is even better."
After Philip Don was relieved, he immediately affirmed Jack and Webb. Jack, as an assistant referee, accurately found that the ball had crossed the goal line. This ability to observe, especially to tell the referee at this moment, is excellent in itself.
But Philip Don admired Weber more. Jack is an assistant referee and doesn't have to take on too much responsibility. He is only obliged to remind the referee that it is within the referee's decision to decide whether or not to adopt the final decision.
Webb adopted. It was a very difficult decision, and Weber actually adopted it. First of all, you can see the trust between Webb and his assistant referee, and on the other hand, you can see Webb's decisiveness.
"Yes, Howard is good."
"Howard is qualified to be the head referee of the soccer league."
Several people are sure of Webb. Because even when they were referees, no one dared to say that they would dare to award a goal in such a situation.
Courage!
Everyone always appreciates the courage of the judges. On the field, the referee is the authority, and if there is no courage and courage, the referee will not be trusted.
"Yes. Howard does qualify to officiate the soccer league. ”
Several bigwigs are quite appreciative of Weber. In fact, Webb just became an assistant referee in the football league three months ago, and it will take another year or two to become the head referee of the football league.
But sometimes that's the case. An important penalty in an important game, an important performance, can make the road he should have walked a lot smoother. Or it could shorten the time he should have to.
"Jack is good."
Gallagher praised Jack after everyone had praised Webb. Gallagher, as one of the most senior referees in the Premier League, is more familiar with the referees in the Premier League.
I had heard of Jack from Pol. Bol said that this Jack is a very confident assistant referee, and looking at his performance on the field today, Gallagher believes that Jack is indeed a very confident referee.
"A student of Jack Taylor."
"Jack's student?"
Conor Gallagher is the Premier League's top referee and has no position on the refereeing committee. But as the referee of the Premier League, he can directly participate in a lot of the work of the referee committee and the technical committee, which is the prerogative of the referee of the Premier League. Now that the Premier League has just ended, I will be involved in this assessment of Webb.
He wasn't familiar with Jack, except that he was a referee that Philip Don admired. I didn't expect it to be a disciple of Jack Taylor. So he turned to look at Jack Taylor and said, "Your student?" ”
"Well, it's okay."
Jack Taylor shows off his disciples.
"Very decisive. It is rare to be able to judge so accurately in such a game, and such an assistant referee. ”
…………
"Ouch. Jack, you scared the hell out of me. ”
Brett Vaughn couldn't help but pat his chest as he entered the lounge. After all, the game could not be finished properly, because it was simply an unacceptable result for the players of Gateshead.
Webber decisively gave two red cards and two yellow cards, but it still did not quell the anger of the Gateshead players. After all, they have been in their current position after a season. They failed like this, they didn't become a player in League C, how could they be reconciled.
Webb wasted no time, waiting for Gateshead to kick off and blowing the whistle for the end of the game. At the end of the game, these players were even more unrelenting.
Especially for Jack, and for the referee Webb, it was a complete siege. However, Webber did not relent, and after the game, he also gave the Gateshead player a red card and the head coach of Gateshead a red card.
Gateshead received a total of four red cards throughout the game, all in the final minutes of the game, as well as six yellow cards. In the end, it was only with the protection of the security guards that he was able to return to the referee's lounge.
"It's the first time I've seen anything like this."
Jack also breathed a sigh of relief. Jack was also apprehensive about the scene just now, with so many players surrounding him, plus thousands of fans booing at Jack. This is also the first time Jack has encountered such a battle.
Therefore, Jack is more grateful to Webb. Although Webb also climbed up from the lower leagues, after all, his experience is far more numerous times than Jack's. I've been under siege in the regional leagues, so I'm taking it in stride.
For young Jack, Webb is also very protective. All the way to the referee's lounge with Jack in tow. So Jack said to Webb, "Thank you, Howard. ”
"No, it's the referee's responsibility."
Webb's face was solemn. Weber was very decisive, but his heart was very unsettled. Because he knows that this game will definitely be watched by the FA. Because his own penalty at the last moment directly affected the result of the game.
If you get it right, you'll be a huge success, and you'll probably be soaring. But if it is wrong, then Webb knows that he is expected to return to the northern league and continue to be the head coach. It could be a year, it could be two years, it could be three years, and there would be no chance to get back into the football league.
"Huh. Howard, don't worry. I have absolute confidence. ”
Jack is grateful to Webb for protecting him, but he is even more grateful that Webb trusts himself and trusts his own judgment. In such an important game, at the end of the game, it is definitely not easy for a referee to believe in his assistant referee so much. That's why Jack is more grateful to Weber.
"Jack, the fates of you and me will be completely different because of this sentence."
"It's going to end well."
Brett Vaughn comforted Webb and Jack. Brett Vaughn has been in the regional league for so many years because he has no connections and no supporters. So he's now very aware of the role of networking.
Brett Vaughn knew very well that Webb and Jack were both referees from above. The future is limitless. This time I finally had the opportunity to work with the two of them, and Brett Vaughan very much hoped that they would succeed.
"Hmph. Howard, are you mistaken. At the last moment, we don't know that this punishment will kill us. ”
Mike Dean is different. As the fourth referee, he was besieged by the Gateshead coach and players on the sidelines. Originally, being the fourth referee was also a qualification for the future. As long as the game ends uneventfully, he also has credit as the fourth referee.
I didn't expect such a thing to happen at the last moment. That's why Mike Dean was very angry.
"Referee Dean, I'm the referee of the game, it's my right. If you think my decision is wrong, you can include it in your referee's report. ”
Webb disliked Mike Dean very much. Mike Dean has more seniority than Webb, so he didn't give Webb face as a referee from the time they met. Similarly, Webber is not a good-natured person, and it is not Webber's personality to be ignored by Mike Dean and still be able to do nothing.
So Webb punched Mike Dean.
"You ......"
Mike Dean really didn't expect Webb, a young coach, to be so hard-mouthed.
"It's all there."
Just as Mike Dean was about to reprimand Webb, who didn't know how to get up and down, someone opened the door to the referee's lounge. Mike Dean was furious, the players' dressing room was sacred, and the referee's lounge was not a place to go into. But as soon as Mike Dean wanted to criticize someone for being so ignorant, he saw Gallagher's face.
Conor Gallagher was the first to come in, followed by the heavyweights of the referee committee.
