Chapter 31 Good news Bad news

Is the farce over when Riley blew the whistle to the end of the game?

No, it's far from it.

The game was over, and Riley still ran to the sidelines and gave the two assistant coaches who had conflicting - Chris Lak and Dillon one red card! Although it was no longer new to send someone out after the game, it was never common.

The game commentator didn't know what to say when he saw this scene: "Riley must be crazy..."

"Six red cards! Twenty yellow cards! Crazy card game machine!"

Later, the four referees on duty had to leave the stadium under the personal protection of the police. Otherwise, it was hard to say whether they would be torn to pieces by the angry Forest fans.

The reporters were waiting for interviews in the mixed area, but they soon found that no one stopped to say a few words about the game, so they had no choice but to move to the press conference.

Unexpectedly, after such a bad scene, Don and Kopel both attended, without missing one.

But both of them looked very bad and did not express friendly handshakes.

Before the host announced the start, Tang En snatched the microphone and started talking: "I feel very sorry for this game, although we won the ball. I don't want to say who's the responsibility, because everyone has seen it.

The game was played like this, and I don't think my players can be blamed for anything. They have done well enough. I'm proud of their performance..."

When Kopel heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt Don't say: "Are you proud of George Wood's punch?"

Don En looked at the reporter and gritted his teeth, "Obviously it's not proud of Hunter's knees! I still regret George Wood didn't beat that bastard to a concussion, what? Mr. Kopel, are you proud of Hunter?"

"Please be careful when speaking, Tony Donne!" Kopel and Donne were not right at all. The two of them met as if they were biting a dog. "That was just an accident! It was normal for such an accident on the court!"

"I mean you're fucking!" Tang En stood up suddenly and roared, "That was maliciously hurting people, it was intentional! Otherwise, why didn't that bastard jump up, but instead pressed his center of gravity, so that his knees were just as high as Paul Gerald's head? Have you ever seen a snatching ball with his knees?"

This has become a street verbal war. A group of reporters didn't mention any questions and watched the battle quietly with joy.

"Stop pointing your finger at Wood. I tell you, Steve Kopel. If it weren't for Hunter's despicable collision, George would never have beaten that bastard.

It's that simple. Since the referee Mr. Riley is blind, my players will exercise the right to punish him.

Such a bad, completely inhuman foul, the fool referee didn't even have a verbal warning. Did he buy his referee certificate with money?!" Tang En's mouth was like a machine gun.

Asking questions, scolding, and swearing words gushed out, not giving Koper a chance to say anything.

"This game has become like this... Twenty yellow cards and six red cards! Is it the player's responsibility? It's the responsibility of the incompetent referee! The FA should have made that idiot ban the blow for life! He dared not play cards in the face of the opponent's rough foul, and shrank his hands and feet like a birdless sissy. After finding that the situation was wrong, he used crazy cards to make the scene even more out of control.

This is what a referee should do? The physical education teachers in middle schools do better than him! I finally know why the English referee made so many low-level mistakes in the German World Cup!"

After scolding his opponent, Don Eun pointed his gun at the FA England and the referee. He is now going to be a "public enemy"...

You can imagine how angry Tang En was at this moment.

"My player is still lying in the hospital, life and death are unknown!" Tang En pointed at the sky. "The murderer is at ease! The person who instigated the crime is still ruling next to me and is unwilling to take responsibility.

The referee on duty is incompetent and can't be afraid of anything except keeping signs out of his butt... Give me a reason not to be angry!" He told the reporters.

Pierce Bruce originally wanted to wake up from this violent state, intending to ask some questions about changing the topic, such as the next round of the league... But when he thought that this problem might be adding fuel to the fire, he put down his hand halfway down.

After venting, Don En no longer wanted to sit with Koper. He didn't say goodbye and turned around and left.

Seeing Tang En turn to step down, Kopel left in another direction with an unhappy look on his face. No matter what the reporters called him, he ignored it.

After leaving the stadium, Don did not answer the hotel they were staying with the team, but went directly to the Royal Medical College of the University of Nottingham.

He met Professor Constantine at the entrance of the building. The professor hurried out of the building, but did not see Tang En.

"Professor!" Tang En shouted.

"Tony?" Constantine was not surprised that Don was here. "Are you here?"

"Well. What's the situation?"

"In a coma."

"Does surgery need?" Tang En asked.

"No." Constantine shook her head, "This is good news."

Tang En breathed a sigh of relief. Then he thought of the bad news: "Will there be any sequelae?"

"This is absolutely unsure now." Constantine took off her glasses, "I will only know after she wakes up. I can't guarantee you whether she can return to the stadium. Even normal life still needs time to check."

Don En thought of Cech, and had a sagging fracture in his head, and finally survived. Not only did he survive, he also became Chelsea's main goalkeeper again.

"He will be fine." He nodded.

Constantine wondered why Yu Tangen suddenly became confident again.

"Intuition..." Tang En pointed to his head and smiled. "I believe he is fine."

Constantine understood it as a kind of self-comfort, so he also cooperated with a smile.

"Did you win the game?" In order to prevent the atmosphere from being awkward, Constantine changed the topic. Unexpectedly, this topic was even worse...

"Win." Tang En's face turned gloomy.

"Uh...I didn't watch the game and was called to deal with it...what happened?"

"Let's read the news later, Professor. There's a good show." He patted Constantine on the shoulder, "I'll leave first, goodbye. Oh. By the way, Professor. If Paul wakes up, call me to notify."

Constantine nodded in confusion. He was wondering what else happened in this game?

The answer was soon revealed. The news media in England were very developed. Generally speaking, just half an hour after the competition ended, there was a special issue dedicated to the score and simple competition situation and was launched for sale. At night, there were detailed reports on all aspects.

Constantine saw the report on the LCD TV in front of the elevator in the hospital lobby. Tony Donn's swearing and scolding scenes appeared in front of him at the press conference, which surprised him.

He rarely sees such an angry Tang En...

Then the news screen cut into the game, and the two sides clashed after the game. Constantine was stunned - bbc was sure it was the Premier League, not the Middle East War?

Two hours later, Tang En's scolding on TV spread to thousands of households in England, and everyone knew what happened in this game and what happened after the game.

The next day, this incident spread all over the world. World football was shocked by this rare violence on the ground.

Nottingham Forest Club took a quick action this time. On the night of the game, it submitted a letter of protest to the English Football Association about Reading's violation of sports ethics and the bad law enforcement of the referee Riley on duty.

This is the reaction made by the club at Don Endi's request, and they want to "take the initiative first".

The next morning, the FA received another complaint from the Reading Club.

In the afternoon, relevant personnel from the FA met with referee Riley, hoping that he would explain the law enforcement of the game.

All media have turned their attention to Soho Square in London - where the English Football Association is located.

Hunter's hurtful actions are really bad, even though George Wood is a deliberate action of beating people. However, if you have to consider the causes and consequences, sympathy points will be thrown into Nottingham Forest.

Especially after the follow-up report came out, Paul Gerrard was still unbelievable, which even touched the hearts of the public. Public opinion began to tilt in a direction that was not conducive to Reading.

Reading's sporting style this season is well known to everyone in English football, so Don't say the responsibility lies with Reading's side, so no one will object.

Before the FA discussed the specific results, it first released a small warning. Trying to stabilize the sentiment of both sides:

"...We have warned Songko, Ashley Yang and Xue Qixuan who were sent off in the game, and will pay close attention to their performance in future games..."

No one cares about the fate of these little fish and shrimps. They care about the punishment results of Hunter, George Wood, and the two assistant coaches who had verbal and physical conflicts after the game.

While the FA continued to study, the head coaches of both sides were not idle and continued to talk in the media. Tang En did this in hopes to put pressure on the FA. He wanted to see if the FA will still favor Riley this time.

Kopel lost the game just because of his personal grudge against Donn, and was sent off three people. He couldn't swallow this anger.

This period of time, for the English media, it is simply a holiday. There are news points that can be hyped every day.

There are even English publishers who plan to compile the remarks of all parties before and after this incident into a book, and then publish and sell them...

Three days later, the FA England finally announced the final results of the incident:

1. Riley, the referee on duty, was suspended for ten games because he lost control of the game and mistakenly guided the game.

2. Reading player Stephen Hunter was suspended for ten games due to a malicious foul, and was fined 35,000 pounds.

And within two years after the suspension period, the FA will pay close attention and will be suspended for fifteen games if there is another violent foul on the court.

3. Nottingham Forest player George Wood made a malicious foul and was suspended for eight games and was fined 25,000 pounds. Within a year, there will be another violent act. He will be suspended for 12 games again.

4. Nottingham Forest assistant coach Chris Lark and Reading assistant coach Dillon were both suspended for four games due to his uncool behavior after the game and fined 15,000 pounds.

5. Nottingham Forest head coach Tony Donn was suspended for three games and fined 25,000 pounds for his unfair accusations against the FA after the game, intention to interfere with the referee's normal work, and personal attacks on his opponent, which violated sports ethics.

Sixth, Reading Club and Nottingham Forest were blamed for their poor supervision of players. They were criticized by name and fined 50,000 pounds.

7. Reading player Xue Qixuan elbowed his opponent, made a malicious foul, and was suspended for three additional games, and was fined 15,000 pounds.

8. The penalty for Landing player Songko was sent off in the game and Nottingham Forest player Ashley Yang was suspended for one game.

After the result was released, it was called by the media the most severe ticket from the FA. Although there had been a precedent for the eight-month ban on Cantona's flying kick fans, it was targeted at so many people at the same time.

Large-scale punishment is indeed the most severe one.

It seems that the slogan of the FA to strengthen the management of violent behavior on the court this season is not just empty talk...

The media were full of expectations that after the result was announced, Tang En expressed dissatisfaction again and continued to make trouble for a while. In this way, they had more topics to hype.

Unexpectedly, Tang En did not make any comments on this this time, neither said he wanted to appeal nor criticized the FA. He simply kept silent about this matter.

No one knows what he thought. Except for himself. In his opinion, the two people he wanted to punish the most were punished. His purpose has been achieved, and there is no need to continue to entangle on this issue.

Riley was suspended for ten games and Hunter was suspended for ten games.
