Jack took a deep breath and walked inside. Jack had just made absolutely no intention to embarrass Charlie West, when Jack was merely judging that the goal was not offside. Jack and Charlie West have no enmity, how could they deliberately embarrass him.

It wasn't until the whistle was blown that the goal was valid that Jack thought of Charlie West's position. Jack was really sorry in his heart.

"Charlie ......"

When Jack entered the referee's lounge, he saw Charlie West, who was very angry, and stepped forward to apologize again. After all, Charlie West is a veteran referee who enforces in both League Two and League C.

And Jack thinks he really didn't think it through. While Jack doesn't think he's just wrong, he also knows he's embarrassed his assistant referee. Therefore, Jack is willing to apologize, and we may have a chance to cooperate in the future. Jack didn't want to stiffen their relationship.

"Judge Jack Lee, I know you're amazing. You're a disciple of Jack Taylor, and you're the referee the FA has focused on developing. At the age of twenty-three, he is already the referee of the English League C, which is more powerful than those of us who have been referees for more than ten years. ”

Charlie West was holding his breath in the first half. Watching the cheers of the Swansea fans seemed to Charlie West to be laughing at himself. It's the first time he's felt so humiliated after so many years as a referee. So now see Jack fully vented out.

"I know we're not as good as you. I asked Chris just now, and it was indeed my mistake. I'm an assistant referee, and I'm not as good offside as the referee behind me. I now know why you are the referee of the English League C, why you are a disciple of Jack Taylor. It's nothing, anyway, after this game, we won't have a chance to meet in the future. ”

The referee?

It's enough to give you enough face on the field. If it weren't for the fact that he was an assistant referee on the field, Charlie West wouldn't have given Jack face on the field. Charlie West was already thirty years old, seven years older than Jack. I was not satisfied with a young referee like Jack, and he embarrassed himself so much.

"If Jack Lee is such a good referee, why use us as an assistant referee. In the future, you can do it all by yourself, I can see it. ”

After that, Charlie West walked straight out of the referee's lounge.

Charlie ....... Hey—"

Looking at Charlie West's back, Jack sighed. Jack also came from the assistant referee, and Jack understands what it's like to have a referee who doesn't believe in him.

Jack likes Webber very much, not because of how good the personal relationship between the two is, not because the two have a deep relationship, and not because the two are like-minded. It's because Jack has always been grateful for Weber's trust at the beginning. If it weren't for Webb's trust, there would be no Jack now. As a former assistant referee, Jack knows better than anyone how much the referee trusts the assistant referee and how much encouragement he has for the assistant referee.

Therefore, Jack also wants to be a referee like Webb, a referee who has enough trust in the assistant referee.

But.......

"Chris, this ......"

Jack could only look at the fourth referee. The fourth referee of this match is a very experienced referee, Chris Foy, a veteran referee who has been a referee since 1983. He is thirty-six years old this year.

He has been blowing penalties in League Two and has even occasionally officiated in League One. He rarely goes to the English League as a referee, and even when he comes to the English League C, he always comes to be the fourth referee. Because the fourth referee is relatively simple, it will not waste much physical strength and energy.

This time too. While officiating in League Two, he took time to be the fourth referee in League C.

"Jack, no one is omnipotent. The referee team is a whole, and as the referee, you must know how to coordinate the work of the referee team. ”

Chris Foy warned Jack earnestly. As a veteran referee, Chris Foy doesn't really like young referees. That Webb, in particular, was on the rise.

Chris Foy has been in charge of League Two for a number of years, but has only occasionally had the opportunity to do so. But Webb, the bastard, has only officiated in League Two for less than a season, and now he has become the referee of League One. In Chris Foy's view, this is a very unfair thing.

Why did these people work hard for more than ten years to have the opportunity to officiate the League One? And some people can easily officiate heavyweight games and become referees in League One so quickly.

The same goes for Jack in front of him.

At the age of twenty-three, Chris Foy is still in the amateur league. But Jack is already the referee in League C.

"I understand."

Jack turned his head to look at the assistant referee on the other side, and his face was also very ugly. Jack understands what happened this time, and he offended his own referee team.

Jack could only sigh.

Umpire? After three years of law enforcement, Jack already got it. Referees, rather than technical problems, are more important than technical problems.

How to deal with the relationship with the assistant referee, how to deal with the relationship with the above, how to judge the mentality of the players, how to overcome the pressure of the manager, etc. These things are more difficult than technical problems.

A good referee must not only be skilled, but also know how to deal with all aspects of the relationship. Any successful referee is not only successful by virtue of excellent skills.

Any famous whistle in the world has an excellent ability to handle relationships.

"Charlie ......"

Before the start of the second half, Jack wanted to be able to talk to Charlie West. You can't always enforce the second half with emotion. Jack didn't want anything else to happen in the second half.

"Don't worry, I'm a professional referee. I don't want anything else to affect my work. ”

Charlie West didn't give Jack any good looks. But it's not bad, it's not emotional. In the second half, he was still dutiful, and Jack was really sorry for that.

Charlie West was a good referee, but he was humiliated.

Jack wanted to apologize, but Charlie West didn't give Jack a chance.

…………

"Jack, everywhere you go is the focus."

The number of referees in the referee industry is not large, only about 70 people have the national chief referee qualification, and less than 200 people have the national assistant referee qualification. That is to say, there are no more than 300 referees in the football league, including the referee and assistant referees.

In addition, the referee team is different from other industries.

It's an industry that's very close up and down. Many veteran Premier League referees, behind him, the referees who have a relationship with him are a big handful. Either they are brothers of the same sect, or they are his disciples, or they may be referees who have been promoted by him.

Therefore, even if it is a referee in a northern league, or a referee in the Anglo-African League, if you are caught, you will have a lot of supporters. Even if you don't have a lot of background, but you've been promoted by a referee during your refereeing career, people will put you in that referee's circle, and no one is exempt. This is the character of the English refereeing scene.

So the news inside the referee was fast.

"What did they say?"

Jack smiled wryly. When he was an assistant referee, the referees of the Northern League jointly excluded Jack, so that Jack could not get the opportunity to enforce the law. Now that he has become the referee, is he going to be ostracized by the assistant referee again.

Of course, as a referee, Jack is not afraid of assistant referees. The referee and the assistant referee are a chasm that is difficult to overcome. Just like in a game, only the head referee and the fourth referee are qualified to write reports on the field, while assistant referees can also write them, but no one pays attention to them. Considering the question of a game above, it is all based on the report of the referee and the fourth referee.

But once the assistant referee really rejects Jack, it will also have a great impact on Jack. A referee who is ostracised by an assistant referee will definitely make many people look down on you, and it will even affect the evaluation of you by the FA refereeing committee.

"Say you're not easy to get along with. There are probably not a few assistant referees in the League C who are willing to work with you. ”

"Shit."

Jack couldn't help but explode. Now is the time for me to develop at a high speed. Jack's idea is simple, this season to enforce League C, next season to enforce League Two, and then League One.

Anyway, it should be at least three or four years to become a Premier League referee. This is Jack's goal.

At this time, being disliked by an assistant referee is very detrimental to his own development. So Jack paused and said, "Mark, are you familiar with Charlie West?" ”

Jack and Charlie West were working together for the first time, and they didn't have any friendship. But this matter always has to be resolved, so the only way to do it is to find a middleman.

"Charlie West? I'm not familiar with it, that is, I just know it. But there is one person who knows him well, and you can look for him. ”

"Who?"

"Martin."

"Martin? Two people familiar? ”

"Yes. Martin qualified as a referee at the national level earlier than us and has more connections in League C and League Two. He has worked with Charlie West quite a few times. ”

Jack nodded. Clattenberg is talking about Atkinson. It is true that Atkinson became an assistant referee in the football league before Webb, Jack and Clattenburg, and has been here for many years.

"It looks like we can only find Martin."
