"Anthony, pass...... Cord got the ball. Cod, the assistant referee has raised the flag. ”

League C is one level higher than Anglo-African United, but the two leagues are completely different. Because League C is a professional player, they don't have the same training. Don't underestimate the difference between a professional and an amateur. There may be talented players among the amateur players who can make a name for themselves in the future. But on the whole, the level of professional players is far higher than that of amateur players because of their training.

However, for referees, there is not much difference between Anglo-African United and English C.

The fans in the English League were not very good, with an average of just over 3,000 fans on site. In some good games, it is already the best to have about 5,000 people. With such fan and media attention, there is no pressure on the referee.

And more importantly, the actions of the League C are more formal than those of the Anglo-African League. Their fouls are clear at a glance and easier to judge than in the Anglo-African Union, where almost every charge is a foul. Therefore, it is better to enforce the law than the UK-Africa Union.

This is the sixth round of the English League C, and Jack's enforcement in the English League C is relatively smooth, and there are no major problems. Today's game is Swansea against Barnett.

Swansea are a powerhouse in Wales and rivals with Cardiff City. Wales don't have any great teams either, though. Swansea were still League Two teams in the 95-96 season, but they did not do well that season and were relegated to League C after finishing third from bottom in League Two. Swansea are considered a strong team in the third division and are the favourites for promotion in the English third league.

Swansea attacked fiercely at their home turf and quickly created chances. Their midfielder Antony made a through ball to give their striker a chance.

Cod received the ball and was about to attack when he saw the flag raised by the assistant referee.

'It's offside.'

Barnett's backline players slowed down when they saw the flag held aloft by the assistant referee, and even their goalkeeper looked at the wing. Cod was very angry, he was obviously not offside, damn assistant referee.

Therefore, after seeing the assistant referee raise the offside flag, Code did not continue to attack, but fired angrily on the spot.

It's a kind of venting.

Cord's venting. The shot was average, but Barnett's goalkeeper saw the assistant referee's flag and basically gave up on goal. So the ball rolled into the goal without any problems.

"Toot-"

"The goal is valid?"

The commentator was stunned as Jack blew the whistle, but it was not an offside gesture, but a gesture for the goal to be effective. Cod was stunned, just now he completely wanted to vent, so he shot.

After the assistant referee raised the flag, the Barnett defenders next to him gave up on defending. That's why he gave Cod the opportunity to swing his leg calmly and shoot, and of course there was something to do with Barnett's goalkeeper not keeping the goal well.

Therefore, after seeing Jack's effective gesture of scoring, Cod was inexplicably excited for a moment. He was just about to get the assistant referee to theorize, but now it just feels like pie in the sky.

Scored a goal yourself?

"Didn't you see the assistant referee's flag?"

"Mr. referee, the assistant referee said it was an offside position."

Swansea striker John Codd was delighted, as were the Swansea players. But the Barnett players weren't happy. If it weren't for the assistant referee raising the flag, how would they have given up on defense. Although the moment Cod received the ball, it formed a one-knife momentum.

But Code is a high striker for Swansea and not fast. Cod's main threat comes from his headers, not his forte. There was no one to defend just now, and his shot was not very good. Barnett's defenders couldn't have allowed Kod to shoot so easily if they were defending with all their might.

They all thought it was offside, so they slowed down their defence.

"How can this goal be effective."

Barnett's players immediately surrounded Jack and demanded an explanation.

"Mr. referee, it was the assistant referee who raised the flag for offside."

"Mr. Referee, if there is no assistant referee to raise the flag, how can we not defend?"

"Mr. referee, I can save that ball. It was because of the assistant referee's flag that I let the ball go into the goal. ”

The Barnett players were referring to Charlie West, the second assistant referee of the game. It was Charlie West who had flown the offside flag.

Barnett's players are excited, especially Barnett's goalkeeper. Kod's shot just now can't be said to be very good, it's definitely not a shot that can't be saved. After all, Cod also saw the flag of the assistant referee, so he took his feet far from the goal.

This ball can be easily saved if the goalkeeper makes an effort. But the goalkeeper thought it was offside, so he didn't want to make a save. So he's wronged, really wronged. Facing the Czechs is a loud roar.

Looking at these excited Barnett players, Jack said, "On the field, until my whistle blows, you can't relax in the slightest. The assistant referee raised the flag and it was a reminder that it was offside, not for you to give up your defence. Until my whistle is sure he's offside, you give up defending yourself, that's your own business. I'm the referee and everything on the pitch is based on my judgment. You can only give up defending until I blow the whistle and it says it's offside. Giving up on defense before, that's your own delusion. That goal was not offside, it was a beautiful anti-offside. So Kod's shot was valid and the goal was valid. ”

"You're fooling us."

"There is no such thing."

Jack's explanation did not please the Barnett players. The flag of the assistant referee is indeed not the final decision. Any decision is based on the referee's decision. It's something that everybody knows, something that's been written in textbooks.

But under normal circumstances, the offside thing is that the referee follows the assistant referee. Because judging offside, it is always the assistant referee's position that is better than the referee's position. Therefore, once the assistant referee raises the flag, then the referee will not deny it. Therefore, as long as the defender sees the assistant referee raising the flag, he will naturally give up the defense. It's not just in League C, it's in the Premier League.

"Let me stress it again. As long as I don't blow the whistle on the pitch and it means it's offside, then it means the game continues. You give up the defense yourself, that's your business. Now go back immediately. ”

Although Barnett's players were very dissatisfied, Jack's tough statement could only leave slowly.

"Let's see the replay. There was really no offside in this goal, and the referee's decision was correct. However, Barnett's players were unlucky, because they saw the assistant referee's flag and gave up defending. The ball is the responsibility of the assistant referee. ”

The commentator saw from the replay that Swansea's player Cod was indeed not offside. He praised Jack's excellent judgment and sympathized with the assistant referee.

It's really unlucky to run into a referee like Jack. Lose all your face in this game.

The commentator's sympathetic assistant referee, Charlie West, now has a gloomy face. Looking at Jack's eyes, he was about to breathe fire, because Jack was too faceless. Completely naked, slapped himself in the face.

Even if he was really wrong, since the opposing defenders had already given up on defense, even Cod himself had given up on attacking. Then the referee should make a mistake and treat this decision as offside. Why bother so much and embarrass your position so much. How do you judge next?

How will I be an assistant referee in the future?

Angry.

Charlie West wanted to kick the pitch. However, as an experienced assistant referee, although he was unwilling, he immediately returned to the halfway line after Jack ruled that the goal was valid. He will never argue with the referee on the field, and will definitely obey the referee's decision. He still has this professional quality.

But from the inside, Charlie West has already gritted his teeth.

Jack also thought that his approach had brought some embarrassing stance to Charlie West. So just after the end of the first half, before entering the referee's lounge, Jack said to Charlie West: "Sorry, Charlie. ”

But Charlie West only glanced at Jack and didn't respond. With a sneer on his lips, he directly entered the referee's lounge.
