23 Soaring into the Sky (Part II)
"Hello Judge Dodd."
When you're unlucky, you stuff your teeth when you drink saliva, and when you're lucky, you can't stop it. That's what Jack is now.
Originally, Jack flew up in a helicopter among the referees of the English Football League, so he was very strange here, and basically no one he knew. The old referees didn't like young referees like Jack very much.
So Jack is waiting to work with Webb. Jack really likes Webber and loves working with him. It's a pity that Jack just thought of himself, not Webb.
Webber also took a helicopter, and he became an assistant referee of the football league for less than half a year, and he has become the head referee of the football league. The promotion is too fast, so he can't easily qualify for the officiating competition at the moment. It will take some time to exercise.
And with Webb's current qualifications, it is impossible to ask for the qualification of an assistant referee as he did in the Northern League. And although Webb and Jack were promoted above, after all, the two of them were inexperienced and too young, so it was not easy to arrange them directly.
But at this time, Jack received a call from a referee who was also the referee of the football league.
"Hello Jack. Come, sit down, and have a drink first. ”
"Thank you."
When Jack arrived, the referee who asked Jack to meet was already there waiting for Jack. And he also prepared a wine table for Jack. Jack was used to this, and all of these referees loved to drink.
'Jack, I've been officiating in League Two for most of the season. Of course there will be a couple of League One games and I'd love to work with you. ”
"Really?"
Jack became an assistant referee in the football league, which is already an exceptional promotion. So even if Jack becomes an assistant referee in the soccer league, he is the lowest level in the low position because of his poor qualifications.
In Jack's opinion, there may be a lot of games in the Anglo-African League this season, and the highest is in the English League C. I didn't expect to be able to enforce the League Two, and even have the opportunity to enforce League One. It's a pie-in-the-sky thing.
"Yes. I also watched last season's EFL promotion play-off final and you were right and brave. Judge Conor Gallagher is also very appreciative of you. ”
"Judge Gallagher?"
"Yes. I happened to meet him some time ago, and he is very optimistic about you. ”
"Look up to me."
Jack was pleased. This is the case in the refereeing industry, where each one is made up of personal connections. However, Jack also understands that there are people behind the referee in front of him, and he should also be a very ambitious referee.
Phil Dodd, a referee in Chinese New Year's Eve, has been a referee for thirteen years. Starting with the regional leagues, it has been climbing all the way up to the present. Thirteen years have been the referee of the English Football League. If someone pushes him on the FA side, he should be able to officiate Premier League games before the age of 40.
"Well, Jack, you just wait for the notice from above."
"Okay."
"Then we'll finish this drink."
Phil Dodd also seems to be very fond of drinking. Although Jack doesn't like to drink much, he needs it in this industry, and Jack is not averse.
Phil Dodd looked at young Jack and was very happy. Jack is young, powerful, and more importantly, there is someone behind Jack. Jack is a disciple of Jack Taylor, and the Philip Don above is very much in love with Jack. Otherwise, Jack would not have been an assistant referee in the football league on the Rockets.
The referees in this line say too much, and they say less and too little. The referee group in the football league is divided into the elite group and the ordinary group, of which the elite group is also called the Premier League referee group, that is, the Premier League referee. The ordinary group is composed of the referees of the three leagues of League One, League B and League C.
The number of referees in the elite group, also known as the Premier League, is fixed, and there have not been more than 20 since the inception of the Premier League. As a result, it has become a rule that there cannot be more than twenty referees in the Premier League. In the English football league, there are nearly 200 referees, including head referees and assistant referees. Their goal is to become the referee of the Premier League, and they are truly a monk with more meat than a man.
Therefore, the one who wants to be the referee of the Premier League is not to cross a single-plank bridge. Phil Dodd also wants to be a referee in the Premier League, so he is constantly building up contacts and background.
…………
Sure enough, the old qualification is the old qualification. Thirty-three-year-old Phil Doderby imagines that he has the strength. Jack was soon informed by the FA that he would be playing as an assistant referee in the third round of League Two.
The referee of the match was Phil Dodd.
In League Two, being able to become an assistant referee in League Two is a big step for Jack. Therefore, Jack came to the scene early, and of course it was related to Phil Dodd.
Today's game was not easy because it was Millwall at home to Crewe FC. In League Two, it is a strong dialogue, and because Millwall's home stadium is the home of the devil, the game is not easy to enforce.
That's why the FA chose 33-year-old and experienced Phil Dodd to officiate the game. Phil Dodd also asked members of the referee team to come to the scene early to discuss some issues in the game.
Phil Dodd's referee team is still very strong. In addition to Jack, who is a junior, there is also a first assistant referee, Michael Murachi, who is 26 years old.
Michael Muraki was promoted in the same way as Jack, becoming an assistant referee in the soccer league without going through the refereeing process. This method of promotion is fast, but the foundation is shaky. However, Michael Murachi likes this way of promotion and has little ambition for the referee.
Like Webb, starting from the regional league to the northern league, the assistant referee and the head referee all went through. Michael Muraki did not have this process, so he became an assistant referee in the football league as early as the age of twenty-three, which is a very young assistant referee in the football league, and now Michael Muraki has three years of assistant refereeing experience in the English League Two.
The fourth referee is also a young referee, a young referee of twenty-five. It is also one of the key training objects of the FA. Phil Dodd has two assistant referees who can speak to his refereeing team. The fourth referee is the referee who cannot decide, and does not have much right to make recommendations. Because the fourth referee is not only a substitute referee, but also has the task of evaluating and monitoring the referee.
Martin Atkinson, a young referee at the age of twenty-five and a half. I also worked as an assistant referee in the football league for a while, but I haven't been able to become a referee yet. However, because he has enough qualifications, he is already able to become the fourth referee, and the future can be expected.
Before the game even started, Martin Atkinson offered his opinion on Phil Dodd.
"Referee Dodd, Millwall's style of play is fierce, and several players at Crewe FC are also big players. Is it something that should be focused on? ”
Phil Dodd shook his head and said with a smile, "Martin, you're also from the regional league. These low-level league games are inherently action-packed, and if you care about them one by one, how can you still play them. If you want the game to go well, you have to adapt to the situation. ”
"Nope."
Martin Atkinson, however, disagrees with Phil Dodd and insists: "The more this happens, the more it needs to be controlled." Otherwise, it's not a football match, it's a boxing match. ”
Phil Dodd was displeased to hear Martin Atkinson refute him. Phil Dodd and Martin Atkinson only knew each other, not very well. Today is the first collaboration.
I didn't expect this fourth referee to point fingers at himself before the game even started. So Phil Dodd said very politely: "I have a number." ”
Jack and Michael Muraki next to him looked at each other, but they didn't expect Phil Dodd and Martin Atkinson to start the game.
"Alright, the game is about to begin. Everyone is ready to prepare. ”
Phil Dodd was also very angry. Martin Atkinson is a shameless kid. What a thing!
