"Howard, it's been an eye-opener today."

After the referee meeting, most of the average Premier League referee does what he has to do. Some of the top referees and veteran referees stayed in the room.

There are a few other things to discuss between them.

If you use an analogy, Jack and his ordinary Premier League referees are deputies to the National People's Congress. But only deputies to the National People's Congress. And those old referees and top referees are all members of the Standing Committee. The important things are for them to decide.

After walking out of the conference room, Jack really sighed. This group of referees is also quite funny. It started out as a small yellow card issue, but then all sorts of criticism came out.

There are even all kinds of expletives. Personal attacks are not uncommon.

After watching a paragraph, Jack admires Mike Riley quite a lot. If Neil Barry and Halsey are good-tempered, Bol and Gallagher are high-spirited.

Then Mike Riley is really a master of setting the mood.

It looks like the relationships should be pretty good. Even Paul Dugin and Gallagher, who disagree with him, will not target Mike Riley. This skill alone made Jack very impressed.

"Yes. More fun than I thought. Hehe. ”

Webber smiled and touched his bald head, but he seemed to be in a good mood. He also joked with Jack. In fact, Webb was also dumbfounded today. The Premier League referee's meeting is also completely different from what Webb imagined.

But it's okay. Webb is more senior in this line of work than Jack, has seen more, and experienced more. Just like Jack was in League One last season, just to make a transition to the Premier League, and was not involved in the problems between the referees in League One.

But Weber is different. Webb was in League One a few years ago, and the referees of League One are fighting openly and secretly to become the referees of the Premier League, and they are not one or two. Webb also sees more, so he is more calm than Jack.

"Howard, which side of the two of us are on?"

Although it was only the first meeting. But Jack has already seen that the Premier League referees are roughly divided into three factions. One is a group of people led by Neil Barry, including Bol is the main cadre. And Mike Riley seems to be rooting for their faction as well.

In addition, there is a group of people led by Paul Dugin, including cadres like Gallagher and Bennett, and Halsey is also a supporter of their side.

The last group is the real conservatives, led by Graham Babbel. Their strength is obviously not as good as the previous two batches, after all, there are old referees in front of them and popular top referees as representatives.

But this group of people is conservative, and there is a big market in the refereeing industry and within football.

The three factions are inextricably hot. In addition to these three factions, there are also some neutral referees, and of course, there are also people like Webber and Jack who have just become Premier League referees and come to play soy sauce.

These are the people who make up the current Premier League referees.

"We?"

"yes. Which faction should we be? ”

Jack is a bit confused at the moment. Jack and Webb are natural allies, both in terms of their origins and their friendship over the years. It's not just Jack who thinks so, the other judges think so too. Therefore, in this unfamiliar Premier League, it is certain that two people will advance and retreat together.

Among the current Premier League referees, Jack has a little friendship with Neil Barry and Bol. It should be on their side. But Jack also has a good relationship with Halsey, and Halsey is a referee that Gallagher likes so much. Halsey also has a deep relationship with Gallagher.

Jack doesn't know which side he's supposed to be on? So Jack hurriedly asked Webb what he thought.

"Jack, you're overthinking. Which green onion is the two of us. Don't you see that they didn't look at us today? In their eyes, we are nothing. ”

"Howard, play with me."

Jack shook his head and said, "I think it won't be long before we're going to get involved." Don't say it, we can watch. ”

Among the current Premier League referees, Webber and Jack are indeed the most experienced. After all, he is the referee who has just been promoted to the Premier League this season, but it does not mean that Webb and Jack are really insignificant referees.

Webb and Jack are a lot different from other young referees. The two of them don't look young, but they really broke many records and became the referee of the Premier League. It's not just a fluke to be able to break so many records.

There were many young referees who were as famous as Webb back then, and there were also many referees who were called Jack. But now Webber and Jack have become Premier League referees, and they are both in the lower leagues.

Webber and Jack are already representatives of the new generation of referees in England. The meaning of the two representatives is different. It is precisely because of the difference in meaning that it is impossible for two people to touch the same as those ordinary young referees.

It doesn't take long for the status of two people to come to the fore.

"Jack, think too much. The two of us are juniors, young referees. Why should we be a sound worm, we can say whatever we want. It is necessary for young referees to be more sharp. The old referee, that is, two or three years, will not retire in more than three or four years. ”

"Oh, yes, yes, yes."

Webb didn't talk much, but one sentence made Jack suddenly brighten. Webb and Jack are juniors, but they're not muddy either. And the two of them, as natural allies, only need to spend a year or two in the Premier League, and their strength will only get stronger and stronger.

What's more, Neil Barry, Paul Dugin, and Graham Babel are all referees for 74 years, and they are all very old. They will be retiring soon. At that time, there will be a new change in the division of power of Premier League referees.

At this time, why run behind someone's ass. As long as two people survive this battle, it is not certain who will be in charge of the Premier League referee industry in the future.

"Howard, you're still cunning. Heard that I recently quit my job as a police officer? ”

"Yes."

Webb was a very decisive man. When he was in the lower leagues, he took a leave of absence from the police for several years, just to work as a referee. After the professionalization of referees this time, Webb was the first of all referees to choose to resign.

Webb resigned immediately after becoming the Premier League referee and having a secure life.

"Howard, you're going to be the best referee in the world."

Jack was really impressed by Webb. Webb is not like Jack, he needs to support his family. However, when the referee's income was very low, he directly took a few years of vacation in the police station for the referee's work. During this time, there was no income. But he persevered.

Webb was talented, hardworking, and persevering. Jack believes that Webb's future will not be worse than that of Gallagher and Bol.

"Then I'll borrow your good words."

…………

"Hello Judge Jack Lee. This is my business card. ”

When Jack had just returned home, he saw a stranger at the door. He is tall but has small eyes. Even wearing a little glasses, it looks a little funny. However, the man was still very enthusiastic and gave Jack a business card. Jack took it and looked at it, and it turned out to be a member of the BBC staff.

BBC, Jack has nothing to do with them, and has never dealt with them.

Still, Jack smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Kramer." I'm Jack Lee, I didn't know you were looking for me......"

"Judge Jack Lee, you're not here to receive me, are you?"

"I'm sorry."

Jack led the child into his house. Then he made Kramer a cup of coffee, sat down across from him, and said, "Mr. Kramer, I don't seem to have anything to do with the BBC." ”

"Just because it's okay now doesn't mean it's okay in the future."

Kramer looked at Jack's house as if he were in his own home, left and right, up and down. Then drink the coffee slowly. Finally, he put down his coffee and said with a smile: "Judge Jack Lee, I am talking about working with you on behalf of the BBC." ”

"Work with me?"

Jack was surprised.

Jack is just a referee, and although he has just become a referee in the Premier League, he is also a referee with very little experience. And the BBC is the BBC, which is a behemoth in the UK. What can I do with Jack.

"You should know that we have national team competitions and club European competitions at the BBC, and we would like to invite you to be a guest commentator for the game."

"Look for me, you must be mistaken."

Commentator?

When commentating on the game, there are some commentators in addition to the commentators. However, this kind of commentator is usually a retired star, a head coach, and of course, there are some famous whistles occasionally.

Looking for a referee to be a guest commentator, although there is not much to say, there are some. But the referees who can become commentators are all top referees.

"Nope. Referee Jack Lee, we think you are one of the few referees in England who has his own unique opinions, and he is also one of the few referees who is in line with world football. We think you're a great fit to be a guest commentator. ”

Actually, the BBC didn't take Jack too seriously. It's just that Jack became a Premier League referee at the age of 25, breaking the record for referees in the top leagues of European football. What's more, Jack has been in a battle of words in the newspapers and in football before. This made Jack famous, and it also made the BBC see that Jack could speak well.

That's why the BBC wanted to give it a try and see how effective a well-spoken referee would be as a guest commentator. That's why Jack was found.

"I want to think about it."
