"Teacher, why didn't you go to the meeting that day?"

It was an enlarged meeting, but I didn't see Jack Taylor. Jack has now become a Premier League referee, but Jack is only twenty-five years old after all, and he still lacks experience.

In many ways, I still rely on my teachers. Of course, there is a careful thought, that is, I hope that my teacher will help me more.

"I'm getting old, and I'm ready to quit my so-called consultant."

"Why?"

Jack was stunned. When Jack Taylor used to work as an advisor to the referees' committee, his salary was not very high. But with the professionalization of referees, the income of professional league referee companies is high.

So it's not just the referees' incomes that are rising, but also the consultants' incomes. The so-called consultants are basically taking money for nothing. Jack Taylor is also old, and it's good to earn some extra money.

"Teacher, now the consultant can get tens of thousands of pounds a year."

"You kid, you've got into the eyes of money. Your family is still short of money. ”

Jack Taylor looked at his disciple's look of being a wealth obsessed with money, and couldn't help but laugh and scold. Jack shook his head, then said, "Teacher, this is different. My parents earned all the money in our family, and I will earn it myself in the future. ”

"I'm old and don't want to move."

"Nothing to do with the consultants."

Jack was still not satisfied with Jack Taylor's choice. As long as Jack Taylor has a name on the referee committee, then Jack as a disciple will be able to enjoy a lot of additional benefits.

But with Jack Taylor leaving the referee committee, Jack always felt a lack of self-confidence.

"Stinky boy, you're already a Premier League referee. Don't keep trying to hide under other people's wings. I don't know how many people want to be attached to you, you have to give them enough confidence. As a referee in the Premier League, you want to make people forget your age. ”

"Yes, Teacher."

"You signed a contract with the BBC?"

"Yes."

The news spread quickly. Jack's contract with the BBC is only recent, but Jack Taylor knows it. Jack didn't tell his teacher about these things.

Because Jack Taylor is the first referee in England, he is actually an old referee. In many ways, it is still very conservative. Jack had a column in The Sun, and Jack Taylor was against it at first.

"Why, I'm not interested in being a referee. Ready to switch careers to become a football commentator? ”

Jack Taylor's expression became serious, serious. Jack knew that Jack Taylor didn't like Jack doing these things. So he explained with a smile: "Teacher, you see that I was promoted too quickly, and I became the referee of the Premier League so quickly. There are deficiencies in many aspects. ”

It's the truth.

The speed at which Jack's promotion was staggering. It's only been six years since I got my referee certificate, and I have been a referee for less than five years before I became a referee in the Premier League. In the Premier League, not to mention those who become referees at the age of 40, even Webb has taken 11 years to become a referee in the Premier League.

It's good to be promoted too quickly. Jack broke history by becoming the youngest referee in the Premier League. But there are also many shortcomings.

"So I wanted to watch the game as a guest commentator and have a different feeling."

Jack didn't dare to say that he hoped to expand his fame by virtue of his status as a guest commentator. There are also commentators who also have a good income.

If he said this, Jack Taylor would definitely hammer himself.

"You have a lot of excuses. Then you think about what you can say and what you can't say. ”

"I'll be careful."

"If you want to talk about guest narrators, I've done some since I retired. Speaking of competitions, there is actually only one that is the most difficult to judge. That's fake falls. ”

Jack Taylor, as the first referee in England's history, is of course a guest commentator.

"Fake falls?"

"Yes. Some speed players have times when they can't stop the car in the face of defense. And the fake fall is between the electric light and flint, and some things are difficult to judge whether it is a fake fall or not, even if you watch the replay. So this is the hardest thing to judge. Each referee has their own standards, so the penalties are different. ”

"What does the teacher mean?"

"Since each referee's standard is different, when you make a judgment, follow your standard. Don't be influenced by anyone else. ”

"I see."

The position of the guest commentator is also a platform to promote yourself. In this position, Jack should certainly make his point of view clear. Indeed, fake falls are the most difficult to judge.

In addition to those exaggerated fake falls, you really can't tell if many fake falls are intentional or to protect yourself. Of course, whether it is intentional or to protect yourself, if it is for benefits, then it can be determined that it is a fake fall.

Speaking of fake falls, Jack couldn't help but say: "Teacher, fake falls are becoming more and more common in the Premier League. Homegrown players in England are also starting to learn from South American players and players from continental Europe. Judgment is becoming more and more difficult. ”

The current fake fall king of the Premier League can't say a lot, but it's definitely a lot. A lot of people start learning to fake falls. He is very disgusted with fake wrestling Jack. Fake falls are not only against sportsmanship, but what makes referees like Jack angry is that fake falls are a provocation to the referee.

Many referees fall on their heels during a player's fake fall. These players who faked the fall treated the referee as the target of the cheat, which made all the referees very angry. Because the players take the referee for a fool.

"Learning? You really think that England players are learning from South American players and players from continental Europe. ”

"Isn't it?"

"Hmph, everyone is the same."

Jack Taylor was not satisfied with Jack's answer. Jack Taylor stood up and knocked Jack on the head hard, looking at Jack with a look of discouragement.

"That's all excuses. You're a Premier League referee and you can't take whatever the media says. You don't have your own opinion in your head? A Premier League referee needs to be an independent thinker and not be dictated by others. The shitty media in England like to pass the buck. ”

Jack Taylor is completely dismissive when it comes to the English media. Pouted: "Actually, the fake falls in England have not increased at all, nor have they decreased, they are still the same as before." It's just that the referee didn't pay attention to fake falls before, and there weren't so many cameras in the game. The means of broadcasting are limited, so it is impossible to judge fake falls. Now the means of broadcasting are becoming more and more sophisticated, and there are more than a dozen cameras on the scene. Everyone played back and slowed down, and they found a fake fall. Then everyone found out that there are so many fake falls in the Premier League. ”

"There are too many fake falls, what should I do? I can't always admit that it's my own mistake. So it's said that South American players and continental European players bring bad habits, and English players are learning from them. It's all excuses. ”

Jack was dumbfounded.

Jack was really surprised. Jack never thought of it that way. Jack, like the English media, is of the same opinion. The English players are still very pure, and the reason why they fake falls is because they learn bad habits from foreign players.

But Jack Taylor completely disagrees.

Bullshit pure.

English football has fake falls. It's just that everyone doesn't pay attention to it, but the technology is not in place. Now the technical level is very high, the broadcast level is very high, and a lot of fake falls have come out at once.

English football is proud. They can't say that our football is bad, so they can only find someone to blame it. Outside players are unlucky and are treated as scapegoats.

"Teacher, this ......"

"I'll tell you about it. That's how it is. When I was a referee, it was more than 30 years ago, and there was no shortage of fake falls in England at that time. At that time, English football was full of players from the British Isles, and there was no foreign aid. But there are still many players who fake falls. It's just that at that time, everyone didn't pay attention to fake falls. Now those people say that there is no fake fall in English football, it is all. ”

"Oh."

The truth is always so cruel. Jack was also surprised.

"That's a lot. Whether you're writing a review or being a guest commentator, you don't forget that you're a referee. The referee's job is done first, and then the rest can be done well. ”

"I know, teacher."

"You young referees, you're completely different from us. Either way, you have to remember that you're a referee first. ”

"Yes."

…………

In the Leeds United and Everton match, Jack's score was not very high, but it was not low either. Especially when it comes to technical scores, Jack doesn't have too many problems. However, after all, there were some problems in the game between Leeds United and Everton.

So Jack didn't get the chance to referee for two consecutive rounds.

In the second and third rounds, Jack officiated the game as the fourth referee. The biggest difference between the fourth referee and the referee is that there is less money, which is really too little.

Now Jack officiates a Premier League game as a referee and earns £1,000. But as the fourth referee to officiate a game, the income is only 600 pounds, a difference of 400 pounds.

Jack wasn't angry, though.

Not only Jack, but even a referee of Bol's level also rested for two rounds. Because of the game between Manchester United and Newcastle, the impact is too great, and even a top referee like Bol has to retreat. Otherwise, the media will look at Pol with a magnifying glass.

However, this is only to avoid the focus of public opinion.

After the third round, Jack was notified by the FA. In the fourth round of the Premier League, Jack was given the opportunity to enforce the law. It's still a strong conversation in the Premier League.

However, before the fourth round of the Premier League, there are also Champions League and UEFA Cup matches. Jack was notified by the BBC that he was going to be a guest commentator to explain the first round of the Champions League group stage.
