"How can this be a foul."

Gurlitt immediately came to Halsey to complain. Although the game was more ugly, Newcastle still had the absolute advantage. Now that a player has been sent off and a penalty has been awarded, the situation has changed immediately. So Gurlit, of course, couldn't sit still.

"Coach Gullit, Steve Hovey is a pusher. An unmistakable foul and the last defender. There is nothing wrong with a red card. ”

Halsey is good and good-tempered. This is true for the same referees, even for the coaches. He didn't speak loudly, just like he was chatting normally.

"Where is the push, it is when Gallaher is in an offside position, the two sides have had a small physical contact."

Gurlitt still quibbled.

In fact, whether Steve Hovey pushed people or not, Gullitt is not clear. And at this point, Gurlitt knew there was no way. The referee is everything on the pitch, and when he gives a penalty, there is no reason to change the referee's decision.

Even if it is wrong, it is impossible to change the sentence. Even if the FA really thinks that the referee is wrong after the game, the most it will do is to punish the referee, but it will not change the outcome of the game. That's the referee's right.

So Gurlit's idea was simple. It's just hoping to put some pressure on Jack to have some guilt for the rest of the game and the decision to favour Newcastle.

But what Gurlitt didn't know was that Jack had absolute confidence in his decision. You don't feel guilty about Newcastle just because you gave Newcastle a red card and Blackburn Rovers a penalty.

"Coach Gurlit, it's useless for you to explain to me. Because of Steve Hovey's hand movements, the referee decided that this was the main reason for Gallaher's fall. So it's a clear red card plus a penalty. ”

There are many kinds of referees, but they all have a way of dealing with coaches.

Like Andre Marriner, the "red card king" of the English League C, he relies on ferocity and hard talk to the coach. The coach's complaint is also a hard response to the coach as a way to deal with the coach.

But Halsey is different. He is smiling, no matter what the coach says, he is smiling and explaining to people. Even if the coach swears, he will not get angry. In the end, the coach couldn't lose his temper with him.

"After giving Owen the red card, Jack looks a lot more confident."

Watching Jack enforce the law on the field, Jack Taylor was very happy. Because his disciple really fought for himself, when Jack awarded a penalty just now and then gave Steve Hovey a red card, Jack Taylor really sweated.

All eyes are on Jack right now, not just the FA hierarchy, but the media. The media are now looking for Jack's faults with lanterns and criticizing the arrogant young coach. If this judgment is wrong, Jack will be condemned by the entire English football media.

In fact, not only Jack Taylor, but even Philip Don was also stunned.

After all, Philip Don's goal was not to ruin Jack, he wanted Jack to put in the best performance so that his plan could go smoothly. Therefore, among these people at present, except for Jack Taylor, the one who wants Jack to perform well the most is Philip Tang.

Fortunately, everyone saw the results very quickly.

They are no ordinary fans, and they didn't come here today to watch a Carabao Cup fourth round game. Even the Carabao Cup semi-finals did not qualify for so many senior members of the refereeing committee to come and watch the game.

So they have a special game video in front of them, and there are special technicians.

The camera just zoomed in, and then played back the slow motion just now, and everyone easily saw Steve Hovey's movements. Very small movements, for the referee is a very big test. But Jack found out, and awarded the penalty accurately and decisively.

This made several people present breathe a sigh of relief.

It's too competitive.

Jack gave the heads of the referee committee a complete face. Keith Hackett smiled and spoke to Philip Tang and Jack Taylor next to him.

He hopes that the two will not go toe-for-tat, and that everyone will need to work together in the future.

"Perhaps. Anyway, when I first saw him, he was much more arrogant than he is now. ”

When Philip Don heard Keith Hackett say that Jack was more confident, he remembered the first time he met him. At that time, as a small referee under investigation, Jack was truly confident. He made a deep impression on Philip Don.

"That's not arrogance, it's confidence in one's own strength."

After watching the first half of the game, Jack Taylor was completely relieved. Jack is even better than he thought he could be, and his game control has improved a lot.

What's more, Jack now has the prestige that the referee needs. The players started to have less doubts and that was the biggest improvement.

"Yes. Jack is more talented than anyone else and is a natural referee. ”

Seeing that Jack Taylor directly pushed Philip Don, Keith Hackett immediately came over and made a difference. That's the character of Keith Hackett. Every time Philip Don had a big conflict with some people, he immediately settled the conflict.

One less person, even if it's as strong as Newcastle, needs to be careful. Although Blackburn are the relegation favourites, they are also a Premier League team.

Take advantage of the fact that when you score a goal and your opponent has one less person, you can attack Newcastle while the iron is hot. Thankfully, Newcastle's midfield is really strong. Newcastle's midfield is typical of attacking and defending, not at all afraid of Blackburn's impact.

So the game was frozen.

Blackburn have a numerical advantage, but Newcastle's individual strength and midfield combination are far superior to Blackburn. So while Blackburn Rovers attacked, Newcastle defended with complete ease.

'Blackburn couldn't get into Newcastle's hinterland. Hamann dropped back slightly and was excellent at protecting the Newcastle backline. Blackburn had no chance to break through the middle and had to rely on Sutton's header and Duff's assault from the left. ”

"Hendry's long pass, that's already Blackburn's only routine. Sutton, it wasn't Harman who stepped forward. Haman's judgment was very accurate, Hamann grabbed in front of Sutton, Hamann headed in! ”

Harman is really good.

After Hendry's long pass, Hamann judged the ball before Sutton. Then he pushed the ball out before Sutton.

"David Barty, header pass...... The ball went to Speed on the right. Speed is fast, Speed, he accelerates through Domi, Speed crosses! ”

"Shearer, Shearer's header!"

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…… No, the assistant referee has already raised the flag. What's going on, the assistant referee thinks it's an offside position, Shearer was just offside? ”

It can be said that in terms of the player's individual ability, Newcastle really exploded Blackburn. Speed's speed isn't as good as when he was at his peak, but it's still outstanding. A very simple trip easily passed the French defender Domi who had just transferred to Blackburn. Then there was a cross.

Originally, Shearer and Hendry were in the same position, and Shearer was a very smart centre-forward. He would never let himself be on the offside line. However, when Shearer was ready, Speed did not cross in time, but used his speed to cross after many metres. At this time, Hendry, who was also experienced, took a small step forward, and Shearer burst out in one fell swoop.

Of course, it's only a little bit of a distance.

But Jack found out right away. Jack was about to blow the whistle to indicate that it was offside, but the corner saw the assistant referee's flag. So for a moment, Jack didn't blow the whistle, but waited until Shearer ran forward, and the last lion shook his head to score.

After the goal, Jack pretended to see the assistant referee's flag, and ran to his assistant referee's side.

"What's going on?"

'Shearer was offside. At the moment of the pass, Hendry stepped forward and Shearer was offside. ”

Jack's assistant referee was appointed by the FA and came from League One. He had also heard of Jack's name, and of course there was no one in the English football referee world who didn't think of Jack.

And I've heard that Jack and the assistant referee are not very harmonious, so he tried to explain it to Jack as completely as possible.

But instead of asking, Jack nodded. As soon as he turned around, he blew the whistle, indicating that the goal was offside and Shearer's goal was invalidated. Jack was very proud as he blew the whistle, and who would dare to say that he disrespected the assistant referee after that.

Hum!
