"Fuck, it's offside."

When Sherwood returned, he began to watch the replay footage. You can see the situation very clearly. Even Sherwood himself can't say that the goal was not offside.

Because the moment of Chris Sutton's header, Gallah was indeed offside.

No problem.

Even if Sherwood is a Blackburn player, he is not a faceless man. You can't look offside, you can say it's not offside. Sherwood is also a Premier League star and has also entered the England national team.

But acknowledgment is admitted, and Sherwood is angry. It turned out to be really offside.

"Damn, what should I do?"

Sherwood was really stumped. After the game, I made a bet with the two referees. Although I don't know these two and I don't know which league the referee rolled out from, many people saw the bet at the time.

The names of those two referees, Sherwood still don't know what their names are. After all, Sherwood is a famous player, starting to make his debut in the English top flight at the age of seventeen, and has been in the league for more than a decade now. In more than a decade, he has only played in the second tier in two seasons, the rest in the English top flight.

And Webber and Jack are the nobodies who have just come out of the Northern League, and Sherwood certainly doesn't know them. But now that he had to apologize to the two nobodies, Sherwood always felt that something was wrong.

Sherwood, who is almost 30 years old, is also a figure in English football, and it is too difficult for him to apologize to two referees who do not know which league to enforce the law at.

"Tim, did you really bet on them?"

"Yes."

Sherwood replied frustratedly. It's a shame this time. Hendry looked at Sherwood's completely depressed appearance and smiled, "Tim, we're embarrassed this time. ”

Hendry also sighed. Although he was not satisfied with Swindon's first goal, he thought it was a foul by Swindon's player. But for offside, there is no objection.

But it was because of this offside that Hendry was sent off by Webber directly. Not only that, but Weber's report is not very good for Shafort and Hendry. There is a high probability that additional penalties will be incurred.

Now seeing that it is really offside, it is also a very disturbing thing for Hendry. And what Jack demanded at the time was that both Hendry and Sherwood should apologize. Hendry is also a Premier League star and the captain of Blackburn.

"Colin, what do you think we should do now?"

Sherwood looked at Hendry and said very pitifully. The thought of apologizing to the referee who didn't know what to call made Sherwood feel uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.

But I want to regret it, but I feel that it is wrong. After all, so many people saw it, maybe those reporters would have gotten the news a long time ago. Their reporters are waiting for their own apologies.

"A simple apology. Anyway, just apologize. Anyway, I didn't say how to apologize. But if we don't say anything on our side, we don't know what the other side is playing. Recently, I checked the information of these two referees, and if you know, it will surprise you. ”

"What?"

Sherwood only knew about being angry, and he didn't know where the two referees came from. I only know that they are nobodies in the lower leagues, but looking at Hendry's appearance, those two referees are still a little famous.

"The referee of that game was Howard Webb, who was only 25 years old. It is said that his promotion in the refereeing industry broke the record in the refereeing industry after World War II, and he is currently the head referee that the FA has vigorously cultivated. It is estimated that in two or three years, he will come to the Premier League as a referee. The assistant referee who ruled Kevin offside was sent off by the referee for arguing with the referee in the first game of law enforcement. You should have heard about it too. ”

"Is that the assistant referee that Fei Fei yelled at last year?"

"That's him."

This time last year, they were all laughing at it. I didn't expect to actually see this referee. But Sherwood couldn't laugh at him anymore, because he had to apologize to such an assistant referee, and he would become a joke.

"There's something better for the two referees, Webb and Jack. In last season's EFL promotion play-off final, Howard Webb was the referee and Jack Lee was the second assistant referee. It was in the final moments of the game, in stoppage time, that the referee awarded a ball over the goal line. Directly let a team win 1-0 against the opponent and enter the League C. ”

"Injury time?"

"Yes. None of the attackers noticed that the ball had crossed the goal line, they didn't protest, but Webb did. And it is this assistant referee who is judged. ”

"Really?"

"Yes. I asked a reporter I knew about them. According to his words, many FA executives watched the game at that time. Very appreciative of the two of them. ”

"Shit."

Sherwood heard Hendry's words, and the expression on his face was even more unsightly. I thought they were two nobodies, but now they look like two star referees. Maybe we'll see each other in the Premier League in a few years' time.

"I see."

…………

"Judge Jack Lee, what do you think of Hendry and Sherwood's apology?"

"Judge Jack Lee, how are you so sure you're going to win?"

"Judge Jack Lee, I heard that you are a student of Judge Jack Taylor, is it true?"

"Referee Jack Lee, in the final of the promotion play-offs in the Anglo-African League last season, you also judged the goal accurately. Can you tell us any secrets? ”

Webb and Jack Lee became famous, truly famous. Even when Jack Lee was sent off by his own referee in the Northern League, it was a joke. No one ever cared who the assistant referee was, and no one ever wanted to know about the hapless assistant referee. At best, it's a joke in football.

And in the final of the promotion play-offs of the Anglo-African League, I made a very surprising judgment, but few people cared. Because for everyone, the final of the promotion play-offs of the Anglo-African League is nothing more than an amateur club upgraded to a professional club. It's not a big deal.

But this time it's different, it's really different. Jack Lee really became famous.

Not because of the game, but because of the apologies of Hendry and Sherwood. The Premier League is the Premier League, the stars are the stars, and the attention is completely different. This is known as the platform problem.

It's like if you score 30 league goals in the Premier League and 30 goals in the Soviet Super League, the effect is completely different. Scoring 30 goals in the Super League may be able to attract the attention of some clubs in the big five leagues.

But if you score 30 goals in a season in the Premier League, you're a sharpshooter, a goalscorer who can make a name on European football. For example, the greatest star in the Premier League in these three years is Alan Shearer. He scored more than 30 goals in the Premier League in three consecutive seasons and was the Premier League's top scorer for three consecutive seasons. He is a superstar in English football, and even in European football, he is a famous striker.

Before that, Jack Lee, as the least experienced referee in the football league, had a slight reputation among referees. But at other times, who will know who Jack Lee is.

But as soon as Hendry and Sherwood's apologies came out, everyone knew about Jack Lee. Even when Jack was punished by the referee, he was dug up by reporters.

Jack was completely stunned. It was the first time I had faced so many reporters because I was so old, so I was a little overwhelmed. But soon Jack came to his senses and looked at the reporter and said, "Yes, Jack Taylor is my teacher." My teacher has been teaching me since I was a referee for the exam, that is, more than two years ago. I am very grateful to my teachers, otherwise I would not have had the opportunity to get to where I am now. ”

Jack first confessed his relationship with Jack Taylor. Although this down, there is definitely more pressure. But this kind of thing can't be hidden, and Jack doesn't plan to be full.

Pressure, Jack is willing to bear.

'As for the Carabao Cup, I'm confident because I see it clearly. Since it was my own decision, I am still very confident. For me, though, it's nothing. Instead, I would like to thank the referee, Howard, for trusting my judgment. Howard is the best referee I've ever met, and I'd love to see him in the Premier League as soon as possible. ”

Jack didn't say much about himself, but praised Webb. Judging from the current development, Weber's development is definitely rocket-like. Webber could have made a leap forward and officiated League Two next season, League One next season, and become a Premier League referee around 2000, not that it was completely impossible.

The year 2000 was less than four years old. Once you become a Premier League referee, you are entering the elite refereeing group of English football and are qualified to speak thoroughly in the field of refereeing. He is a powerful figure in the English refereeing world.

Now, the fates of Webb and Jack cannot be said to be completely mixed, but they are also cooperative. The better Webb develops, the more benefits Jack can get. Therefore, Jack sincerely hopes that Weber can rise quickly and can also drive Jack's development.

"Referee Jack Lee, your first game of enforcement was sent off by the referee. Is there anything you want to say about this? ”

"Failure is also a good experience."
