Chapter 379

"I don't know the meaning behind the referee's random decision, and I don't want to be clear. I just know that our victory was taken away by shameless robbers. Notts County will appeal after the game. We hope to be treated fairly. , we will use our firmest attitude to fight, not just anyone can take away the three points we got!"

David's words were decisive, completely inviolable.

The reporters were very happy. Although David did not attack the FA by name, the insinuation was already very obvious. If Notts County insisted on protesting, the FA would definitely have a headache. Good luck to everyone. I watched the play.

The next day, the major newspapers put the peak match between Arsenal and Notts County on the front page, and there were indeed some extremely eye-catching things in it.

"The top game ended in a draw, Arsenal equalized with penalty kicks in stoppage time"

"Henry, Hero or Bear? "

"Controversial penalty decides the outcome of the game, Henry is silent"

"Notts County suffered a flop and vowed to fight to the end"

……

At this time, the fans discovered that so many stories happened in this top battle.

Henry diving?

So everyone found the game video with great interest, and watched the last moment of the game countless times, hoping to see the truth about flopping and penalties.

Many fans were shocked to find that Notts County defender Carvalho really didn't take the initiative to touch Henry with his body, and Henry's fall seemed too exaggerated, completely violating the laws of physics, as if he was not controlled by the earth's gravity.

Although it is not particularly clear from several angles, it turns out that Henry's suspicion of diving is too great.

It was lively at once. Arsenal got a draw through Henry's diving and maintained the pressure on Notts County in the standings. If it weren't for this unwarranted penalty, Arsenal would be left farther up.

With the help of Notts County, Henry suddenly became the target of public criticism. The fans dug up the previous example of Henry diving, trying to prove that the French striker had a history of diving. This time there is nothing to doubt .

Only the Arsenal fans were weakly defending Henry. There was even a professor from the Department of Physics at University College London publicly proving that Henry's fall action did not violate the laws of physics through checking and simulation methods, but soon this good-looking guy A scandal of academic fraud was exposed.

Things intensified. Notts County, just as David said, appealed to the FA firmly and tenaciously, vowing to seek an explanation for Notts County.

The FA and the English Professional Referees Committee are also overwhelmed. Whenever something important happens in English football, they are always the first to bear it and are very annoying.

In fact, several giant teams in the Premier League have some "special treatment". They used to be Manchester United and Liverpool, and now there is an extra Arsenal. These three teams are the Premier League giants. How many referees There will be some bias.

For example, the famous "Ferguson time", such as Liverpool and Arsenal are the two clubs with the most penalty kicks in the Premier League era, etc. Maybe this is just a trivial preferential treatment, but it is very unfair to other clubs.

Faced with increasing pressure, the FA had no choice but to launch an investigation, and held frequent meetings with the referee committee, finally came to a preliminary conclusion.

But this conclusion made everyone scratch their heads, dumbfounded, and even didn't know how to make it public.

The referee of this game did not obviously favor Arsenal, which can be proved in most of the game, even a slight so-called home whistle did not appear, except for the penalty kick at the last moment, the referee was absolutely fair and strict.

As for the penalty kick in stoppage time, the referee did not want to stand up for Arsenal. From his point of view at the time, it was a penalty kick. You must know that he also had to bear a lot of pressure when awarding a penalty kick.

After the game, after the referee observed the actions of Henry and Carvalho through multiple angles, he had to admit that it was a misjudgment.

How to explain this to the public?

Notts County has indeed suffered an innocent disaster, but I have never heard of the result of the game being changed after a misjudgment, let alone a rematch. They are really worried that the announcement of the truth will make Notts County rebel.

Therefore, the FA sent someone to contact Notts County secretly, hoping that Notts County could make a big deal a small one, and give the FA a step down, which is good for everyone.

If not, it will definitely be a lose-lose situation. The FA announced the results of the investigation, and Notts County is still relentless. Not to mention the embarrassment of the FA, Notts County will definitely face serious penalties, and the gains outweigh the losses.

But David doesn't care, since there is already such a result, he knows that it can't be changed at all. Instead of doing this, it's better to ask for an attitude. If Notts County encounters similar things in the future, will it stop?

So the FA understood what David meant, and held a press conference on the third day after the game to clarify the misjudgment in this game.

The FA and the referee committee made it very clear that this was a misjudgment. The reason for the misjudgment was that the referee's position was restricted and the line of sight was blocked. Has been committed to creating a fair and just league atmosphere.

The referee on duty also stood up and publicly apologized to Notts County, and stated that he had absolutely no position. This was just a misjudgment.

After that, the FA fined Notts County chairman David £2 for his aggressive remarks to the fourth official on the sidelines.

The spokesperson for Notts County also stated that they accept the punishment of the FA and accept this result. Misjudgments are unavoidable in professional football. They hope that similar things will happen as little as possible in the future.

The media reporters are not fools. Obviously, the FA, the referee committee and Notts County have reached a certain consensus. This press conference is completely an aftermath, so they don't have to play.

Notts County has indeed been a blessing in disguise through this misjudgment, because the FA privately promised that Notts County will receive the same treatment as a wealthy team from now on, rather than a natural weaker side.

The FA and referee Hu also got a certain degree of support from the fans because of their courage to admit their mistakes and Notts County did not continue to pursue it. After all, everyone likes a fair official!
