"Today's conservatism, tomorrow's backwardness."

After Houllier criticized Jack, Jack immediately countered Houllier in his own column in The Sun.

"Coach Houllier should have educated his players before he thought I had made a mistake. Coach Houllier said that I am a mechanical referee who only knows how to read books, but I want to ask Coach Houllier, is it because Michael Owen is England's golden boy and a Liverpool player, he can violate FIFA, UEFA and even FA regulations at will? ”

'Did Owen wave his arms, did he hit the players behind him, was that a yellow card? I didn't give the red card to my subordinates. Did Irving fake a fall, and if Coach Houllier insists that he didn't fake a fall, then I can only suspect that Coach Houllier thinks differently than we do. Since it is a fake fall, it is not a yellow card. What's wrong with my red card. An obvious foul move, an obvious fake fall, can't Coach Houllier see it? What kind of coach you have, what kind of players you will develop. ”

"If everyone doesn't pay attention to the rules, then what do you want us referees to do? Why should we referees learn, it's better to follow our feelings. If Coach Houllier thinks so, I can advise Coach Houllier, to make a proposal to the French Football Federation and the FA, to cancel the so-called referee training. Then it was recommended that FIFA and UEFA cancel referee training. Wouldn't it be better to find a random fan to be a referee in the future. ”

Jack first sarcastically mocked Houllier, and then immediately turned to the others. Including famous legends, old coaches, and old referees in English football.

"Why has English football not done well in European football in recent years? It is because of the blockade brought about by the 'Heysel tragedy' that we have lost communication with European football. Now our football is starting to be in line with European football, but our referees are not in line with European football. What is already common on the European continent, many of us in England are very surprised. ”

"Waving your arms during a jump, faking a fall, going to any league is a yellow card without a doubt. But it's funny that there are so many doubts in England. ”

"If our enforcement is not in line with the European continent, then when we go to international matches, how are our players going to adapt to the standards of continental referees. Today, we dare not change, and we will suffer in the future. ”

Conservative, English football has always been conservative.

It's just such a simple thing, and they have to be so complicated. Jack is the party, and there are many people who want to hear what Jack has to say. As soon as Jack's column in The Sun came out, English football was once again in the middle of a dispute.

Some people are in favor of Jack, and of course more critical of Jack. Anyway, all of a sudden, English football began to buzz.

Jack is also considered to be explosive these days, using the column of "The Sun" to fight with various immortals non-stop. In this verbal battle, Jack showed all his opinions.

Jack talked about his views on dangerous moves, additional moves, and fake falls, which are very popular in English football.

It's not the same as before.

In the past, Jack appeared in front of the media, and many of them were because of stories. It's a rare story in football, so it's attracting everyone's attention. But now it's different, now Jack is completely a referee, using his refereeing knowledge to debate with many old forces in English football.

Jack is on fire.

If many people knew Jack before, they only knew that it was a topic referee. Even in the world of referees, many referees have limited understanding of Jack. Most of all, Jack is a disciple of Jack Taylor, a very strict referee in the Anglo-African Union.

But now it's different.

Jack was completely out there, revealing his point of view. This is no longer an ordinary referee's practice, it is like a politician who is about to participate in an election, making his own political declaration.

The referee of a small English League dares to be so arrogant. Many old referees are not angry. They condemned Jack, but Jack didn't care at all and accepted their condemnation.

And in the face of so many people, there is no rush at all. Do whatever you want.

"Jack, you kid stabbed a hornet's nest."

Philip Don stared straight at Jack with wide eyes. Jack sat there and acted very calm, but his heart was definitely not as calm as he appeared on the outside. On the contrary, Jack was very nervous.

Of all the bigwigs on the referees' committee, Jack is the most feared of Philip Don.

Philip Don was born with an aura, and that's all Jack can say. To use a fashionable phrase, Philip Don is a very stylish person. Compared to Philip Don, Keith Hackett, who is also in high power, is very kind. That's why every time Jack sees Philip Tang, he's nervous.

"I just said what I thought."

"Do you think you're right?"

Philip Don holds a pen in his hand and spins it like a schoolchild playing with a pen in class. Of course, children playing with pens will be criticized by teachers if they are in East Asia.

And Philip Don was playing with the pen there, and the occasional "ding" sound when the pen fell off put pressure on Jack.

Jack organized the language. To the other Jack can talk back wantonly, but in the face of Philip Don, Jack can't talk nonsense. Therefore, after a pause for nearly a minute, he slowly spoke: "I am still young and inexperienced, and some specific decisions may not be so accurate." But I know one thing, and that is that if we want to regain the glory of the past, we must integrate into European football and world football. In terms of team construction and tactical reform, we must communicate with other leagues in European football. The Premier League is doing a good job of this at the moment. ”

"But again, the scale of the penalty should slowly lean towards European football. We referees can't do things behind closed doors, and we must also be familiar with FIFA and UEFA regulations. In this way, we English referees can go out into the world, and our football can be restored to glory. ”

Convergence, this is a must.

Now is not the time when the sun never sets on the British empire. At the time of England's greatest glory and strength, if there was an organization called FIFA, maybe the rules of English football would be the rules of FIFA.

It's a pity that now is not that time. The sun never sets on the empire As early as after World War I and World War II, the status of the world plummeted. The current English football must be in line with world football. The refereeing industry is no exception.

"Good boy, you really have your own ideas."

Philip Don smiled slightly, but was quickly replaced by his seriousness. Philip Don looked at Jack and said, "You don't seem to have any other job, only refereeing." ”

"Yes."

Jack didn't expect Philip Don to suddenly change the subject. Jack nodded, though. Jack is still gnawing on the old people, eating, wearing, and using his father's money.

Anyway, although his father is not a world-class rich, he is also an upper-middle income in England. What to do with so much money, in the end is not to spend. His father has a son of his own, and if he doesn't give himself flowers, who else can he leave to.

Therefore, Jack has no other job, which is a full-time referee.

"You're the only full-time referee in our judging world."

"Yes."

Jack knows that, too. The referee's income simply can't support himself, even the current Premier League referee. You can't survive without doing other jobs, especially if you drag your family. Some referees who don't have regular jobs also have side hustles.

Like Halsey, the referee he worked with Jack in the League Two promotion play-off final, he just doesn't have a regular job. But in order to support the family, their family opened a restaurant. Otherwise, relying on his income as a referee, their family would have gone to drink the northwest wind a long time ago.

So all the referees in England, except for Jack, are part-time. Of course, some young referees who are still in school can be ruled out. Counting from the Northern League, only Jack is a full-time referee in the entire English football world.

"Jack, give you some more heavyweight matches, do you dare to enforce the law?"

"Dare."

Jack didn't quite understand why Philip Don was so elevated himself, and today's topic was jumping around, so Jack couldn't even grasp the point. As for the important game that Philip Tang said, Jack didn't know what it was. However, although I don't know what the match is, since it is a heavyweight match, it must be a more important match than the third round of the League Cup.

Such a competition, with Jack's qualifications, should not be enforced within a year or two. But since Philip Don asked, Jack certainly answered.

"Good. Young people should have such a sharp spirit. After you go back, you must be careful to enforce the law during this time. Don't go wrong. As long as you play well, there will be no shortage of opportunities to enforce the law. ”

"Yes."

"Go ahead."

When Jack left Philip Tang's office, he was confused. I was really puzzled by what Philip Don meant when he saw himself today. Jack didn't believe he was seeing himself for no reason, but since he was seeing himself, he must have had his thoughts.
