30 decisive

"** Aren't you an idiot, where is the offside, are you blind."

Shafort was really in a hurry. Originally, Shafort was not a coach with a big temper. But this time he was really anxious, and his mouth was spraying all kinds of swear words. That saliva was squirting straight to Jack.

"Coach Shafort, please pay attention to your attitude."

Andre Marriner saw Shafort coming to Jack and followed. Andre Marriner has already found out that Jack is the first assistant referee for the first time. There was something unnatural about these referees. As the fourth referee, he is obliged to help the assistant referee.

"What attitude, what attitude I have. In the first half, the opponent fouled, you don't judge. Now we managed to score a goal and you say it was offside. Is there something wrong with your eyes? ”

Shafort's irritation was too great to listen to Andre Marriner.

"Coach Shafort, it was offside just now, no matter how unhappy you are, it's also offside."

Jack is not used to facing the head coach of the team directly like this. But Jack also doesn't allow others to question his judgment, and the presence of Andre Marriner next to him makes Jack very confident.

"Offside, how can you tell it's offside. It's obviously a good ball. ”

"Coach Shafort ......"

"It was a good ball, a good ball."

Jack was about to explain to Shafort when Blackburn's players gathered around. They were more willing to besiege Jack than the referee. Because Jack is young, plus this ball is completely in Jack's thoughts.

It was difficult for Webb, as the referee, to spot the ball just now, and it was not in the right position. Because the moment of Chris Sutton's header, Gallah was only a little offside. Because it was Gallaher who came out to shoot in the chaos, the referee's angle was impossible to judge at all.

As long as Jack says yes, then yes. Jack says no, then it's not.

"Where am I offside, do you see clearly."

Gallaher angrily confronted Jack, as did the other Blackburn players. Big players such as Hendry and Sherwood, who are also the captains of Blackburn, also came directly to Jack.

"Definitely not offside, I'm right next to it."

Sherwood's temper was not bad, and although he was angry, he did nothing but be loud. But Hendry is different, although he is not an England player, he is the captain of the Scottish national team. I grew up with English football culture, and my temper is not small at all.

"How old are you? What do you little referee know? Which eye do you see it's offside? There is something wrong with the eyes. ”

It's intense. Jack couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart. Don't think that the referee is really good, the referee can decide everything. It's just an outsider's idea.

Referees are also people. It's like Jack. Facing Hendry, Sherwood, Chris Sutton, Gallaher, Henning Berg, Le Sox and other Premier League players who can only be seen on TV, and now they are all around Jack, how can Jack not be nervous.

These people vented their frustration at Jack one by one. In terms of status in football, although referees are not the same as players. But there are also some levels.

Like Jack, the referee position in the English football league is almost at the bottom. Because in terms of qualifications, Jack has been an assistant referee in the football league for less than half a year, and he is an absolute junior referee. Even Jack is less senior than the assistant referees who have just been promoted.

But these Premier League stars in front of them are different. Many of them have been famous in English football for many years, and many of them are captains of their respective national teams.

Each of them has a greater deterrent power than Jack. Even though Jack is the referee and they are the players, it is still so. The pressure they put on Jack far exceeds the pressure on manager Saffofort.

Jack's head buzzed as he listened to the stars blaming himself.

"Toot-"

It was at this time that Webb came to Jack's side. Andre Marriner also stepped forward and pushed the player away. Webb looked at Jack and said, "Jack, is it offside?" ”

"Yes."

Jack didn't say much, just nodded.

"I see."

After Webb turned, he made a gesture that the goal was invalid. Webb was resolute and didn't hesitate. Seeing Webb's gestures, the Blackburn players went even crazier.

"Shit, you've got shit in your head."

Shafort was still waiting for Webber to be able to change Jack, but he didn't expect Webber to just say a few words to Jack and then said that the ball was invalid. This made Shafort finally couldn't help it and began to spray Webb.

Webber and Jack are both referees, but one is an assistant referee and the other is the head referee. The rights of two people are not the same. Shafort sprayed Jack, and Jack couldn't do anything about it. At most, you can only go to the referee to complain.

But the referee was different. As long as it's in this stadium, the referee is everything. Not to mention the players on the field, even the coaching staff on the bench, the players, and even the fans behind him can be taken care of by him.

Therefore, after Webb heard Shafort's accusation, he turned around and held up the red card.

"You idiot referee. What level of idiot referee are you and how did you become a referee? The FA is blind. ”

Sheapoeot is completely insane. Having lost the Carabao Cup to a lower-tier club like Swindon, he knew his Blackburn managerial career was over. Therefore, it is completely disregarded that Webb is the referee.

"Coach Shafort, you can go out now. And what you said, I'll take note of it in the post-match report. ”

After sending off Shafort, Webb turned and beckoned to Hendry. Then he was given another red card and told him to get out.

"This is trust?"

Andre Marriner was surprised. It was the first time he had worked with Webb and Jack, and the decision was an eye-opener for him. Under such pressure, Webber really trusted Jack completely.

Unlike the others, Andre Marriner was right next to him, and he could hear Webb and Jack's conversation clearly. Webb didn't say anything, he asked, and Jack just answered "yes".

But Webber turned around and supported Jack's decision.

"Red card, Webb sent Hendry off. Blackburn's players are in a state of excitement right now, and none of them have conceded an offside decision. Let's take a look at the replay shot, which is not clear from this angle. ”

In the round of 16 knockout rounds of the League Cup, there were thirteen cameras alone. It can be seen from all angles, and in order to see if it is offside, it is necessary to look at it from other angles.

"This shot is very clear. Chris Sutton's header was a little offside. It's really a little bit, just a part of the body. It is estimated that it is a little more than ten centimeters away. ”

"The assistant referee's decision was very accurate. The assistant referee did a good job, and sure enough, it was offside. The assistant referee was young, only 21 years old, and his name was Jack Lee. Huh, Jack Lee? ”

The presence of the assistant referee in a game is very low, and the commentator knows the name of the referee Webb, but the assistant referee does not care at all. It was only now that he saw Jack's name, and after reading Jack's name, he suddenly felt very familiar.

Soon he thought about it, so he smiled and said, "Jack Lee, this assistant coach's name is familiar. I'm sure many of you have heard that there was an interesting thing that happened in the Northern League this time last year. That is, the referee sent his assistant referee down during the game, and that person was the assistant referee in front of him, Jack Lee. ”

Fans who watched the game on TV saw the face of the hapless assistant referee who was sent off by the referee for the first time. It dawned on them that it was this unlucky bastard.

And that unlucky guy Jack is now in the assistant referee position, and the pressure is still very high. Because Jack was standing behind Blackburn Rovers on the bench, their head coach was sent off, but their coaching staff was still there, and so were their bench players. They put a lot of pressure on Jack all the time.

And the Blackburn fans, who kept cursing at Jack in the back. Even the fans who were very close to Jack pointed at Jack's nose and scolded. There are all kinds of ugly words.

"They're doing well."
