"Referee Knight, how's that?"

Leeds United were very strong, although the first half was a confrontation between Lee Bowyer and Graveson, which made Jack a little nervous. But overall, nothing happened. Because Leeds United are overwhelmingly dominant.

When one side has an overwhelming advantage, there is no serious foul. On the contrary, it is the two teams that have a balanced strength that need the most attention. If there were no bad guys like Lee Bowyer and a butcher like Graveson, the game would have been pretty smooth. In the first half, Jack was shown only a yellow card.

In the first half, Viduka latched on to Colwill's cross and scored the opening goal. They led Everton 1-0 at half-time.

At the end of the first half, Jack looked at the fourth referee and asked.

"It's ok. But if I were the referee, I'd send Lee Bowyer off. ”

Head of Barry Knight. As a 25-year-old young referee, Jack is officiating a game for the first time as a Premier League referee. In the first half, Barry Knight still acknowledged Jack's performance.

Only one.

Referee Barry Knight was furious at Lee Bowyer's stomping. Although Barry Knight is also a more conservative referee, he hates Lee Bowyer's actions very much.

He likes to play physically. But he's also an English referee and he likes that kind of open-minded rush. What I don't like the most is a clever person like Lee Bowyer, who has a bad character.

If it was him, he would definitely give a red card and tell him to get out.

"I want to, too. But that kid is too smart, and I can't tell if it's intentional just from his actions. ”

Jack and Barry Knight walked side by side, explaining to him as they could. The fourth referee is completely different from the lower leagues. The Premier League, as an English league, is already very formal.

The fourth referee is the Premier League referee, and their status is no worse than that of the referee on the field. And they have the right to supervise, and when they write a report to the above, they have the same right as the referee. The above is the same for the referee and the fourth referee.

Compared with the referee and the fourth referee, the assistant referee in the Premier League is much worse than the two of them.

"That must have been on purpose. In fact, you don't care if he does it on purpose or not, just give him a red card, and no one will do anything. Maybe a lot of people are still applauding. ”

"Huh."

Jack Head. Lee Bowyer had such a bad reputation that even if he did it perfectly, no one would believe that he didn't mean it. Even if it was really an accident just now, no one present thought it was really an accident. Even Leeds team-mates and fans wouldn't believe it was an accident. So even if the referee sends him off, someone will deserve Lee Bowyer. There will be no sympathy for Lee Bowyer.

This is the same meaning as the "wolf came" story.

If a player who is usually honest fakes a fall during a match, the referee will basically choose to trust the player. But a player who often fakes falls, even if he does trip, the referee will think that he is fake.

But Jack didn't want that.

Jack wants to be free from those off-the-field influences. Whatever it should be is what it is. Just because you've been a master of fake throws, you won't treat all your falls as fake falls. I won't judge you for fake fall because you were honest before.

"That's right, Jack. In the game that just ended, there was a big thing. ”

"Which game?"

"The game between Manchester United and Newcastle."

"What's wrong?"

Manchester United and Newcastle played an hour before this game. It should be completely over by now. It's a high-profile game, and it's a strong conversation of the round. It was Graham Bol, the current Premier League referee, who officiated that game.

"Almost a group fight. They even laid siege to Graham. ”

"And then?"

'Graham showed 20 yellow cards and finally calmed the storm.'

"Tut-tut."

Jack shook his head, and then said dissatisfiedly: "There have been a lot of things like this since last season. The FA doesn't care. Now the authority of the referee is too low, and those players who dare to question the referee's decision, and threaten and oppose the referee should be punished severely. Otherwise, the referee has no authority and cannot enforce the law at all. ”

Now those bigwig-level players in the Premier League don't take the referee seriously at all. Always question the referee's decision, and over time this will happen.

This kind of thing should be done by the FA and put it in order. If it continues, the referee will not be able to enforce the law at all.

"yes."

Head of Barry Knight. Now it is becoming more and more difficult for Premier League referees to enforce games, and it is really because of the lack of authority. Players wantonly question the referee's decision, and dare to threaten the referee on the field to resist the referee's decision.

"But don't worry. Just in the new millennium, there have been a lot of such things. Last season, Chelsea led Wise to besiege the referee during the game, which can be a sensation in English football. Mr. Philip Tang, I don't think I'm looking. ”

"Hope."

Barry Knight's was last season. Chelsea were unhappy with the referee's decision during the game, with Wise besieging the referee with his Chelsea players. At that time, there was a referee who asked for a heavy penalty on Chelsea.

Philip Don used to be a professional referee, so it was inconvenient to have a relationship with Premier League clubs. But now that the professionalism of referees has succeeded, with his tough style, it is estimated that the problem of insufficient referee authority will soon be rectified.

…………

"Toot-"

At half-time, Jack was not in a good mood when he heard what was going on at Manchester United. Referees, referees, must have enough authority to enforce the law.

Although this incident did not happen to him, Jack, as the referee of the Premier League, this kind of thing is closely related to himself. Even a referee of Bol's level, known as the No. 1 referee in England, was besieged by players.

Then a rookie referee like Jack is even less necessary. How could those Premier League bigwigs take Jack in their eyes. Even if it's for his own sake, Jack wants the FA to hurry up and do something.

Of course, it's better to take care of your own game first.

"Leeds are on the attack. Colwill, cross...... Viduka, Viduka header! ”

"Bowyer, Bowyer passed, Bowyer passed...... Smith, Smith smashes the ball, shoots! ”

Leeds United claim to be a youth guard because of the young players they have. Although there are some veterans, most of the players are young. To be young is to be energetic, and to be young is to be passionate.

That's the case with Leeds United.

They completely dominated Everton in the middle of the game and used their talent to the fullest. However, young players also have some problems, that is, once they let go, they don't know how to collect at all.

Attack, attack, attack. That's the current Leeds United model.

"Bowyer, pass...... The ball didn't go through and Gravison got it. Graveson, this is a chance to fight back! ”

Everton's overall strength is not Leeds United's opponent at all. Therefore, the game is basically full defense, and what you want is to seize the opportunity to counterattack occasionally. This time it was.

Bowyer's pass was unsuccessful, and Everton counter-attacked. Graveson was at the heart of Everton's attacking and defending midfield, and when he received the ball, Leeds United's midfield was relatively empty.

Even Duckett stepped forward, and as long as Graveson passed or stepped forward, it would be a good opportunity to counter-attack.

'Graveson, he's going to pass the ball...... Alan Smith, it's a ferocious tackle. It's a foul! ”

"Toot-"

It's a foul.

Alan Smith is a striker, a very talented striker. Technique, shooting, passing. If you describe him like that, you would think of him as a striker with a technical stream.

But Alan Smith is an England striker with the toughness of an English player. As Gravison prepared to pass the ball, Alan Smith came back from the front and it was a tackle.

Nothing.

Alan Smith wasn't there to grab the ball at all, but to prevent Everton from counter-attacking. So instead of rushing at the ball, he tackled straight down Graveson.

Alan Smith didn't care about Jack's yellow card. By the time he tackled, he was already mentally prepared. So when you're done, turn around and go.

"It's okay."

Jack, as the referee, went to see Graveson. Hard wound, Graveson grinned in pain. In the first half, he was stepped on by Bowyer, and in the second half, he was shoveled by Alan Smith, which really hurt.

Gravison looked at Alan Smith as he was gone. Leeds United's hairy children really regard themselves as soft persimmons, and they can pinch them as much as they want.

"It's fine."
