"Okay, this passes. Take off your shirt to celebrate, yellow card. ”

The pre-season referee committee begins.

It can be said that the power of the referee in the Premier League is now increasing. Keith. Hackett can't compare to Philip. Don is so strong that most of the issues have to be discussed at the Premier League referees' meeting.

Of course, don't look at it as a discussion together, but the weight of everyone's speech is different.

A lot of Premier League referees are following the crowd. Half of the Premier League referees don't have any opinions themselves. Seeing that the people above are almost discussed, they will agree.

Because of the World Cup, a lot of things in the Premier League have to change.

The World Cup is a weather vane for the refereeing community. It's like FIFA and UEFA have been discussing the issue of taking off their shirts to celebrate as a yellow card, and this issue has been discussed for a long time.

Although FIFA and UEFA have pushed it, it has not had a good effect. A lot of leagues don't take this seriously.

But this time the World Cup has started this enforcement, which is a very clear signal. The major leagues that didn't care much about it definitely had to keep up.

So this was also passed at this Premier League referee meeting. In other words, from the beginning of the new season, Premier League players will be given yellow cards if they strip to celebrate.

"Let's talk about the list of League One referees who can enforce the Premier League this season."

These Philip. At the time of Don's time, most of them were Philip. Tang consulted with several high-level judges and heavyweight referees before deciding. Ordinary Premier League referees are largely unqualified to speak. But now Keith. Hackett raised it directly at the Premier League referee's meeting. It can also be seen from Philip. Don and Keith. Hackett has two different personalities and different styles of doing things.

"Then I'll start with a few words."

Don't look at the Premier League referee meeting, these referees are smart. No one will be left without work. Come out and fire. It still depends on the opinions of the old referees who are really strong and qualified.

Everybody doesn't speak, Neil. Barry was the first to speak.

This is the next chief referee. Everyone is watching to see who he will say. Neil. Barry looked at everyone and said, "I think Martin. The Atkinson referee is good. ”

"Uhhh

The referees present were all inexplicable. Atkinson this referee. Everyone is familiar with it. I had a bad relationship with the old referees in England. Of these current Premier League referees, few of them have a good impression of Atkinson.

Of course there are a lot of them, Mike. Riley has already looked for it. So they thought it was going to be Mike. Riley said he didn't expect it to be Neil. Barry spoke up. Many of them are confused because they haven't heard of Neil. What is Barry and Atkinson related. I haven't heard of Neil yet. Barry praised Atkinson.

"Martin. Atkinson referee? ”

Keith. Hackett also has a deep impression of Atkinson. Because Atkinson is Philip. Don is a very important person. Philip. Don's weight on Atkinson is definitely no worse than Webb and Jack.

If there's one thing Atkinson has to offer, it's that he has no people behind him, no connections.

Both Webb and Jack have a whole bunch of connections behind them. Lifting them can give them enough face to the connections behind them. But Atkinson is lacking that.

Otherwise, Atkinson would not have been the referee in League One by now.

"Yes. I think he's pretty good. Nowadays, world football is not all about strict law enforcement. The physical confrontation in our Premier League is indeed a little bit over. Letting a referee like Atkinson officiate the Premier League is also a gesture. I think it's good. ”

Neil. Barry had only promised Jack to mention it, and had never promised to support Atkinson. But with the change in Jack's status, Neil. Barry's mind changed.

Plans can't keep up with the changes.

That's Jack. A month ago, Jack was just relying on international referees and bragging about his position as head referee in the Premier League. But just a month later, Jack has become a leading referee in England.

Even Neil. Barry has to change his attitude towards Jack. Can't help but change, Jack's status has changed too much now.

The face that should be given still has to be given. Hence Neil. Barry changed his mind and pushed Atkinson.

"I also think it's good to referee Atkinson."

Mike. Riley also followed Neil. Barry agrees with the list. Mike. Riley was also very surprised now. When he promised Jack to help, he himself didn't expect Jack to have such a development.

This favor is gone. If Jack had his current status at that time, then Jack wouldn't have begged Mike. Riley. But since I begged, and Mike. Riley also helped. Then Jack owes Mike. Riley favors.

Mike. Riley is now very happy. Of course happy, after all, it is now Jack who owes him a favor.

"The ability of the Atkinson referees is still excellent."

"I also think we should give the Atkinson referee a chance."

"It's experienced, and it's just the right age."

Neil. Barry and Mike. After Riley finished speaking. The referees who had a good relationship with Jack spoke up in support. The rest of the Premier League referees may not be clear, but there are a few who have a good relationship with Jack. They all know that Atkinson is the referee recommended by Jack.

Therefore, Webb and Halsey are all open to support. They support it. The others have been Mike. Riley said that the referees agreed with it.

Keith. Hackett was surprised.

He really didn't expect it. Who doesn't know that Atkinson's popularity is not good, if it weren't for Philip. Don's promotion, how could Atkinson get mixed into the position of the referee in League One.

But what's going on today?

From Neil. Barry Starts, Mike. Riley, Howard. Webb, Mark. Halsey, these Premier League referees are all in favor of giving Atkinson the opportunity to enforce the Premier League. Of course, Jack, who has just returned from the World Cup, is also supportive.

In addition to them, there are many neutral referees who are also supportive.

Too unexpected.

Although there are still some referees who did not speak, the general trend is the general trend. Most of the referees have already sided with Atkinson. Keith. Hackett didn't like Atkinson much.

Keith. Hackett's view of Atkinson, and Mike. Riley is the same. It's just a sensational referee. It's not worth much care. But now so many referees are in favor of Keith. Hackett didn't mean to refute either.

That's his character.

So he looked at Joe. Geist. Joe. Geist nodded. Now so many Premier League referees are agreeing, if two people veto, it will offend a large area.

See Joe. Geist nodded, Keith. Huck nodded and said, "Give Atkinson a spot to referee." What else? ”

"Phil. Dodd referee is good. ”

Paul. Dugin's deep voice rang out. Paul. Dugin's year has not been easy. First of all, his old rival Neil. Bariné was set as the next chief referee, and then there was Gallagher, the cadre on his side, who not only failed to go to the World Cup, but also lost his old face.

Originally, Bol misjudged in the group stage of the World Cup. Dugin is a joke. It's a pity that Gallagher is more humiliating than Pol, so he can't say anything.

Hence Paul. Dugin has had a hard time lately.

However, he is a very senior referee at the moment. is still eligible to propose. Phil. Dodd and Jack are also very familiar with each other, and the two have worked together in the lower leagues.

And speaking of which, Jack really owes people a favor. Jack had just become an assistant referee in the soccer league when Phil. Dodd was to bring Jack to his refereeing staff, allowing Jack to officiate directly in League Two. This starting point is very high, if there is no Phil. Dodd and Jack may have to start officiating in the League C.

But the two don't have much personal relationship.

Because of Jack and Phil. Dodd's approach to law enforcement is completely different. Phil. Dodd is the quintessential England referee, while Jack favours Atkinson's side and thinks the enforcement should be a little stricter.

But Phil. Dodd also helped Jack no matter what he said. If there is a chance, Jack of course wants to help him and return the favor. So Paul. After Dugin said it, Jack immediately chimed in: "When I was in League Two, I was with Phil. Dodd referees have worked together. His level is very high. I agree with that too. ”

Paul. Dugin looked at Jack suspiciously, but didn't say anything.

Gallagher, however, knew why. Because Phil. Dodd and Gallagher have a good relationship. Know that Jack is in the lower leagues and Phil. Dodd had a relationship. So Gallagher said, "I'm familiar with Phil. Referee Dodd, this is a very strong referee. ”

They all recommend each other.

You recommend one. I recommend one. Anyway, you can't eat alone, and several heavyweight referees are qualified to recommend it. Paul. Dugin recommends Phil. Dodd. Bol then recommended another referee, Peter. Walton.

He is also a relatively good and experienced referee in League One.

The last one was the chief referee, Keith. Hackett brought it up himself. It's Jack's friend, and it's Webb's friend. He is currently the youngest in League One. Clattenberg, who is the same age as Jack.

There's not much to say about this.

If it weren't for Jack's brilliance, Clattenburg would have been the brightest referee in England. But even with Jack, English football still takes Clattenburg very seriously.

The other referees will have more or less dissenting voices.

But Clattenburg is very good. Plus it's Keith. Hackett brought it up, and it was quickly passed. In the final Premier League referee meeting, four League One referees were identified to be eligible to officiate the Premier League this season.

In other words, several of them have been qualified as referees in the Premier League, which is very important. Because in a year or two, at most two or three years, the Premier League referee will come out with several vacant seats.

Like Neil. Barry, Paul. Dugin, Graham. Babbel and they are all of retirement age. (To be continued......)

PS: I'm sorry that there is only one change today. Recently, the report has been blowing about the Chinese team, which makes me very disgusted. The performance of the Chinese team is very good, but why bother touting it like this. If the Chinese team loses, it will be these media who will step on them.

I think the situation now is that people should cheer it up, but not praise it. Isn't it obvious bragging to say that the South Korean team and the Australian team are trying to avoid China? Despise these media.

I hope the Chinese team won't really be blown away by these touts. Step by step, there is still a gap between us and Japan, South Korea, and Australia. I hope that we can slowly develop in the next few years and really be able to go out of Asia.
