"In a match in the Northern League, there was a strange thing where the referee sent off his assistant referee in the first half."

The bold referee is Chris Claire and is a Newcastle police officer. The unlucky one he punished was Jack Lee, a university student from South Yorkshire. What's even more unfortunate is that the referee, who is only 20 years old, appeared on the court for the first time as an assistant referee, but he did not expect to be sent off by the referee on the first day. ”

"According to the later judgment, the two men had an argument because of the offside issue. Chris Claire ruled the goal valid, but the young assistant referee ruled it was offside. In the middle of an argument between the two, Chris Claire sent him off with a red card. ”

"The two of them made English refereeing history. It was unheard of for the referee to send off his own assistant referee. ”

It's schadenfreude anyway.

For the low-impact Northern League, there is no concern about what the game is, what the reason, or who it is. They just want to laugh, laugh at that hapless assistant referee. They take it as a joke.

"Shit!"

Jack threw The Sun directly on the ground. Jack Lee, whose name finally appeared in the newspapers, was not because of how accurate Jack's decision was, but because Jack was sent off by the referee as an assistant coach.

It's a shame. It's sure to be a big joke in the world of referees. For many fans, the impact of the Northern League was too low, and it passed as a joke. Maybe you'll forget it soon. But the refereeing world is different, especially since the number of referees starting from the Northern League is limited. It is impossible for the referee community to forget this incident. In the future, when people talk about Jack Lee, they will definitely say that he is not the assistant referee who was sent off by his own referee?

How do you go out and meet people like that.

"Jack, are you alright?"

Jack felt too stuffy at home, so he wanted to go out for a walk. As soon as I walked out, I met a black friend who had grown up together. That is, Stephen, the black striker who fought with Jack in the first place.

"Why, you know that?"

Good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, and Jack didn't expect Stephen to know so quickly.

"Jack, I know what I mean. You've become famous, and who doesn't know you in English football. The referee sent off the linesman? You're really okay now, right? ”

The Northern League has little influence, but the referee sends off the assistant referee to have a great impact. Or it's not called influence, it should be that things are too rare, and it's so fun. Since the development of modern football, when has I ever heard of a head coach sending his assistant referee down, this is definitely unprecedented.

So all the media took it as a big joke. And those who read the newspaper also found it funny and funny. In a few clicks, everyone in English football knew about it.

They may not know what the game is, they may not know the name of the referee, etc., but they all know that this is happening.

"Will you be okay? It is estimated that the FA will investigate the matter. I will not be able to enforce the law until the investigation is over, and I will probably have to be on guard for a while after the investigation is over. ”

"Let's go, let's go to the fun place. Don't think too much, maybe everyone will laugh and pass. ”

"Okay."

Jack also wanted to relax. The first game was so embarrassing, and I didn't want to be alone at home. Jack's community is not very large, and the people who live here are basically some people with some family backgrounds. But most of them are people of color, most of them are of various Asian descents, and of course there are some black families.

Although this community is not like the one in rural China, everyone knows each other, and they can visit the relationship at will. But Jack grew up here and stayed here for nearly twenty years, and most of the people here know Jack.

Feeling ashamed, Jack and Stephen left their neighborhood as fast as they could. Seeing no acquaintances in sight, Jack breathed a sigh of relief. Because in Jack's opinion, the way those acquaintances greet him is a kind of joke. It's just a terrible feeling.

"Oops, who is this. Isn't this our Jack Lee? ”

But as soon as he left his neighborhood, Jack heard a joking voice. Jack's eyelids jumped, and it turned out that he had seen the most unwilling person to see.

"Walker, we're not in the mood to play with you today. Don't look for trouble. ”

Jack didn't speak, and Stephen next to him spoke in Jack's place. The one who spoke to Jack was the one from the neighborhood next door who usually fought the most with Jack. In the past, Jack and Stephen fought with them a lot.

"Stephen, see your old friend like this."

Walker didn't pay any attention to Stephen's words and walked over slowly. There were several other people next to him, who were supposed to be his classmates. Everyone was in their twenties, and Walker, like Jack, was already a college student.

"Hey, I'll introduce you guys. My best friend from childhood, Jack Lee, is now a professional judge. ”

Walker introduced Jack to his friend, in a sloppy manner. Jack's face was a little ugly, and he looked at Walker, who was laughing unscrupulously there, and wanted to step forward and punch him.

"Jack Lee? The name is somewhat familiar. ”

"yes, I feel a little familiar, too."

The boys who came with Walker looked at each other, and they also spoke with some playful expressions. Then a kid patted his forehead and said, "Suddenly realized": "Is it written in the newspaper that the assistant referee who was punished by his own referee?" The assistant referee was supposed to be Jack Lee. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. When I read the newspaper, I remember that the assistant referee who was sent off was called Jack Lee? ”

"Yes. That's the name. Walker, isn't it? ”

Each of them spoke, and Jack's face was ugly. His face became more and more ugly, and the kid in front of him was so hateful. It's even more embarrassing than the usual few people swearing and fighting.

"Jack, I seem to remember when you were at the police station, you said that if you were a referee, you would be a hundred times better than someone. And so it was. You see that people have never appeared in the newspaper as a referee all their lives, and you were able to appear in the newspaper for the first time as an assistant referee, and I heard that it also created the history of refereeing in England. ”

"Hahaha."

"Making refereeing history. Yes, yes. ”

"It's not just a hundred times more than that referee, it should be a thousand times, ten thousand times."

Jack looked at these people and became more and more calm. But Stephen next to him couldn't help it, and stepped forward and said, "Walker, are you kid looking for death?" Forgot my fist? ”

"Why, there's going to be a fight."

Walker, the kid, grew up fighting with Jack and Stephen. He was not afraid of fighting, and there were many people today, so he stepped forward.

"Stephen, alright."

Jack Krathstephen looked at Walker, and said with a slow smile, "Walker, I was originally very angry. But today, when I saw you playing monkey show, my mood suddenly improved. Thank you for putting on such a fun show for me. ”

"Let's go, Stephen."

Jack overwhelmed Walker. Any joke, if the other party does not accept it, then it is not a joke, but a mockery. Any ridicule, if the other person doesn't care, then there is no meaning. Everything depends on the attitude of the other party.

Walker definitely doesn't like Jack. Walker has never won fights since he was a child, and has even been severely beaten by Jack. So I happened to see Jack today, so I deliberately brought my friends to laugh at Jack.

Now seeing that Jack didn't care, Walker was a little angry.

"That's right, Walker. Whether I can be a good referee or not, you can wait and see. ”
