"You tell me what happened that day."

After getting to know the two parties, Philip Tang and the others hired the fourth referee for that match. One of the duties of the fourth referee is to keep a truthful record of what happened during the game. Therefore, the third question asked by the investigation team was the fourth referee, Philip Tang.

"I just saw two people arguing from afar. It should be that the two sides have different views on offside. When I arrived, I heard Referee Claire shouting at Judge Jack Lee: Idiot, get out. Then a red card was revealed. ”

"Did Referee Chris Claire drink before the game?"

"Yes."

Brett Vaughn nodded and emphasized, "Drink a lot." Anyway, before the game, I was skeptical that he would be able to enforce the game in his form. Because he walks staggeringly, and because of the drinking, Claire Referee is also very excited. ”

"Is that ball offside?"

"I don't know."

Brett Vaughn was very frank and said with a wry smile: "I can't see if my position is offside at all. ”

"We got it."

Whether it was offside or not was not the core of the problem, and it was not a problem in the top four leagues. It's easy to know with just a playback.

It's a pity that this is the sixth division, and there is no means of broadcasting at all. Not to mention being able to observe from multiple angles whether it is offside. Therefore, it is over, and no one knows if it was offside at that time.

At the heart of the issue was the dispute between the referee and the assistant referee. The referee drinks and sends off his assistant referee, and the other is the assistant referee who provokes the authority of the referee on the field. These two are the problem.

"Jack, it's nothing."

Brett Vaughn just came over to explain what was going on, so it came out quickly. As soon as I came out, I saw Jack and walked over to say hello in a friendly way.

"I don't know. The results are estimated to take a while to come out. Maybe a ban. ”

"It shouldn't be long."

Brett Vaughn sat next to Jack and comforted, "You may not know who Philip Don is. He was extremely disgusted with some of the bad habits of English football, such as drinking, too much action on the pitch, etc. He has always believed that referees should be professional and regularized, and they should strictly enforce the law on the field. This time Chris Claire was caught, and he was so drunk that I guess he would have to peel off his skin if he didn't die. ”

When it comes to Chris Claire, Brett Vaughn gloats. As a young referee, as an ambitious referee, he doesn't like old-fashioned referees like Chris Clare.

"It's the first time I've known Philip Don."

If it weren't for this incident, Jack really wouldn't know Philip Don. For Jack, a budding referee like Bol is more famous than Philip Don.

"This is a man of real power. Many people think that if the referee is professional, this must be the chief referee at that time. You just became a referee, so you don't understand, Philip Tang is very famous in the refereeing world. ”

"So powerful?"

"I've heard that, too."

"Hehehe."

The two of them chatted like old friends. Jack didn't like old-fashioned referees like Chris Clare, and referees like him basically didn't have a chance to become a referee in the English league.

Brett Vaughn in front of him is different. Twenty-four years old, assistant referee for the Northern League. And with more qualifications than Philip Don, it's not impossible to become the head referee of the Northern League in a year or two. If someone pushes him behind his back, then it shouldn't be a problem to become a national league referee before the age of thirty.

"Jack, I'm leaving. I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. ”

"Yes. Brett, I hope we don't run into bastards like Chris in the future. It's about being able to play with some great referees. ”

"Yes."

…………

"Teacher, is this Philip Don really a great person?"

Jack was shocked. The English Football Team has always been the most bureaucratic institution in England and I don't know how many times it has been criticised. It is estimated that if the British institution that is scolded the most every day must be the English Football Association.

Because they procrastinate and like to make simple things complicated. It is not impossible that a problem that can be solved in a simple hour can be delayed for a month, two months, or even three months. This is the Football Association of England.

But this time, they were very efficient. Just five days later, the punishment was already out.

Chris Claire, his punishment is the heaviest. As the referee of the Northern League, it is a serious violation to drink alcohol during the game. And in the game, according to his temper, he punished the assistant referee, completely ignoring the rules.

As a result, the FA announced that Chris Claire would be stripped of his referee in the Northern League for one year and relegated to the regional league to officiate the competition. and a fine of £400 on Chris Claire. Four hundred pounds is already Chris Clare's income as a referee in the Northern League for nearly half a year.

The punishment for Jack was much lighter. In the official letter, there was no punishment for Jack, but it was stated that he would not arrange any law enforcement arrangements for Jack within a month.

In other words, Jack was banned for a month. This punishment was much lighter than expected, and I thought that I would be banned for half a year.

"Yes. At present, he has a lot of supporters, especially many famous whistles who support him. ”

"Why?"

"Because he pushed the referee professional. The current referee income is too low, and the Premier League whistles earn less than 20,000 pounds a year. And there is no guarantee. If the game is blown less, then the Premier League referee will not even be able to earn more than 10,000 pounds a year. ”

The referee is indeed a sad character. Some referees in the Premier League blow more than 20 games a season, but they earn less than £10,000. A Premier League player who plays 20 games a season and earns more than 100,000 pounds is the lowest level of salary.

"Teacher, can the income of referees really increase after professionalization?"

"That's for sure. Once professionalized, then the referee will be able to sign a professional contract. When the time comes, there will be a guarantee of low salary, plus income per game. It's definitely doubled, tripled, maybe four or five times more than it is now. ”

"So now the Premier League referees are basically supporting him?"

"Yes. Judging by the current trend, Philip is sure to be a significant figure in the referees. ”

Jack was surprised. It turns out that that very serious buddy turned out to be such a great character. I knew that it would be better to communicate with him more and exchange feelings. In the future, this buddy may be the head of Jack and his group of referees.

"But, Jack. Philip told me that you were boasting to him. ”

"I didn't know he was so good at the time."

"Hahaha."

Jack Taylor was very happy. He looked at Jack and said, "You kid did a good job." Philip is a big fan of the way he promotes talent, and you made a very good impression on him at the time. He has a strong personality and may keep an eye on you from time to time. As long as you can get him to pay attention, it's worth it for you. ”

"I'm confident."

"In this investigation, the testimony of the fourth referee of that match was very good for you. There was time to thank him properly. ”

"Fourth referee?"

"Yes. His testimony is good for you, especially since he thinks the referee drank too much and was too excited. This is very beneficial to you. ”

Jack's mind remembered Brett Vaughn's face. So he said to Jack Taylor: "His name is Brett Vaughn, and he is very young, twenty-four years old. Nice people. ”

"In the world of referees, you need everyone's help. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the network more. ”

"Yes."
