"Hello Referee Jack."

"Hello Referee Jack."

Unlike what I imagined, before the game began, whether it was the captain of the Woking Club or the captain of the Gateshead Club, they greeted Jack very friendly.

At first, Jack was a little skeptical that he was making a fuss. After all, a year and a half had passed since that game, and there were no mistakes in that game.

A year and a half is not a long time, but it is not a short time. Maybe the Woking Club and the Gateshead Club may have forgotten about it. Are you too nervous?

But it only took a few seconds for Jack to know that reality was cruel. Because Jack shook hands with the two captains and asked them to choose the venue, as soon as he looked up, he saw a huge banner.

In the center of the banner is a huge comic-style portrait that is not recognizable. However, it can be seen from the clothes that it is the referee. The referee was holding up a red card and smiling obscenely. And two lines were written on either side of him.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

It's the word on the left, and then on the other side it reads, "Red card, get out!" Oh no, it's me who fucks off! ”

Jack was furious after reading it, because this was a naked mockery of Jack. The words on the left are sarcastic about Jack's "I'm sorry" when he was refereed for the first time, and the words and portraits on the right are sarcastic about Jack's debut when he was sent off by the referee.

Since Jack began to make a name for himself in the refereeing world, some things about Jack have also been dug up by reporters. There are good and bad.

The bad thing is, of course, being sent off by his own referee for the first time on the pitch, creating English refereeing history. There is also the first time that the referee actually said "sorry" to the player. This has become a big laughing stock in the refereeing world.

Of course, it's not without good things. Just like in the promotion play-offs of the Anglo-African League, the accurate judgment of the goal at the last moment was unanimously appreciated by the top management of the refereeing committee. There was also a bet with two players in the Carabao Cup knockout round, after being ruled offside. This eventually led to a public apology from two Premier League stars, Hendry and Sherwood, in the newspaper. It's all a very beautiful stroke from Jack.

In addition, Jack is in the assistant referee position, and there is no mistake in all kinds of judgments, and the score in the assistant referee position is the highest among the assistant referees in the Premier League.

But for the fans, Jack's excellent performance in the assistant referee position, they can't remember. There will be a few more people who are concerned about the promotion play-offs of the Anglo-African League, and a few more who are concerned about the knockout rounds of the League Cup. No one cares about how good an assistant referee is in League Two. What they remembered was Jack's troubles.

It is clear that the Gateshead fans are obsessed with Jack's decision a year and a half ago, so they use this method to humiliate Jack.

Sure enough, some hatred can't go away.

Certainly not going away. As the players on both sides decided on the kick-off and the venue, waiting for the game to begin, nearly 3,000 fans in Gateshead chanted "Sorry!" on the pitch. I'm sorry! Come on, red card! ”

There was no melody, just a few words being shouted vigorously. These words were repeated over and over again, and then after the last sentence ended, nearly 3,000 fans unexpectedly took out the red card and kept dangling.

Three thousand, which is not a lot in a country like England, where football is very strong. Especially in the English League and the Premier League, it was really cheered by tens of thousands of fans.

But when 3,000 people took out the red card and shook it, the scene was also very spectacular.

Jack's face really turned the color of pig liver.

Lose face? Lose face? Before the start of the game, there was only one referee who let the fans laugh at it like this, and there was no other branch. Anyway, Jack's face was shaking constantly, and his mood was very bad for a moment.

Gateshead's head coach Charles is also not looking good. Although angry with Jack, Charles did not think of sarcastically sarcastic Jack and angered Jack. No matter how much Jack is also the referee, it is not good for him to laugh and ridicule Jack, especially when the game has not started. Plus Jack is a young referee.

Some of the youth teams have had their ups and downs because of the ups and downs in the form of the young players. The same is true for young referees, who don't have the mental qualities of older referees. Therefore, they are susceptible to some external influences when they make decisions. Charles didn't want a young referee like Jack to hate Gertshead in his heart, which would be too bad for Gertshead.

Therefore, Charles was very dissatisfied with the sarcasm of the Gateshead fans. This is a real offense to the referee, Jack. Even if Jack was a little embarrassed about Gateshead before the game, he must have only been angry when he was ridiculed by this group of fans.

Charles really wanted to bring the fan organizers over and beat him up. It's really not enough to succeed and more to lose.

The fans, the team, are one in a way. The team didn't play well, and the fans didn't have a big face. And if the fans cause trouble, the team will be unlucky.

"Doodoo-"

Jack was angry, but he wouldn't delay the start of the game. And he was angry, but there was no tension, no distractions, only anger in his heart. There is only one thought in my heart, I must prove myself with my strength, so that they will never underestimate it again.

Once the game began, Jack noticed something different. That is, the players of Wojing and the players of Gateshead, although there was a physical collision, but there was no very excessive action.

This made Jack like it more.

Body collisions, that's part of football. Especially for Jack, who grew up in England, physical confrontation is one of the biggest charms of football. Therefore, Jack encourages physical confrontation in the game.

But the last thing Jack can tolerate is over-the-top movements, additional actions. Today, the players on both sides are more restrained, so Jack has slowly relaxed some of the scales. Of course, even if Jack relaxes some scales, he is stricter than ordinary Anglo-African referees.

"Toot-"

"Toot-"

Jack's whistle is still frequent. As soon as the slightest overkill occurs, Jack immediately blows the whistle.

"Mr. Referee, just because I couldn't stop, I hooked the opponent. It's not really about shoveling opponents. ”

"I didn't do anything just now. It's just that I jumped first, and he jumped later, so he crashed into my arm. ”

Looking at the players of the Woking Club and the players of the Gateshead Club who came to explain every foul, Jack was completely puzzled.

What are they doing here?

If someone gets angry and blames or scolds Jack, Jack won't be surprised. Because this one is so normal.

In the coaching world, as long as a rookie coach has bad results, players will question all aspects of the rookie coach's training and command. As long as the coach's reputation is not as good as the player's, then the player will question it. As long as it's different from what the player thinks, the player will question it. Although in English football, the coach has a lot of power, but without fame and achievements, he still can't convince the players.

And those famous coaches, even if their results are very poor for a while, unless there are other contradictions between the coach and the players, the players and fans will not question the training and arrangement of the famous coach. Because in their hearts, the other party is a famous handsome, how can they make mistakes easily.

It's human nature.

It's the same with referees. For those world-recognized whistles, for their punishments, except for some serious misjudgments and controversial decisions, the general punishment coaches and players will accept it. Because in their eyes this is a whistle, there will not be too many mistakes.

But rookie referees are different. Just like Jack. No matter how accurate Jack's decision is in the middle of a game, a player will question it as soon as he comes out. Because in the eyes of the players, you are a rookie referee. Any decision, they have enough reason to question it.

This is something that Jack is completely used to in these games.

But now these players are not venting their frustrations loudly, but come over and reason with Jack after every penalty. And it's all all sorts of reasons that tell Jack that he's not wrong.

Their invective was even more confusing to Jack than the hot-tempered players.

"Toot-"

But despite the chaos, Jack's mind is now focused. More focused than previous games, especially seeing the ridicule of the Gateshead fans, Jack has only one thought at the moment, which is that this game must not go wrong.

Therefore, although the head is not very clear by these players, they still continue to enforce their own laws.

"Offside."

"Offside?"

"Mr. referee, how could I be offside. I was obviously offside just now. ”

Gateshead's striker Williams, a twenty-nine-year-old player. It can be regarded as an old fritter of the Anglo-African Union, with strong explosiveness, fast speed, and very fast reaction.

"Anti-offside?"

Jack was amused by Gateshead striker Williams. Jack has always made others not care about his age, so he has always enforced the law with a straight face. But Williams really laughed out loud at a word.

"You're two meters offside, and you dare to say that you're anti-offside?"

Jack was laughing and crying. Williams was just two meters offside, which is an obvious offside, and this kid dares to come over and complain. However, Williams was not embarrassed at all, and even said cheekily: "That's because I'm fast, so it looks offside." ”

Of course, there is no entanglement. After saying that, he left, and the attitude was still good.
