At the end of the first half, there was a huge boo at the lion's den, and Aldridge deliberately waited on the sidelines for the referee to come off the pitch, and he walked over to try to talk to the referee.

But Horn didn't go in, didn't look at Aldrich, no matter what he said next to him, Horn was walking towards the players' tunnel with his head held high.

Aldridge was on fire and there was nothing to say about going into the dressing room, so he could only motivate the players so that they could not be affected by the referee's decision and concentrate on the game.

There was nothing to adjust tactically, and Millwall pressed their opponents all the way through the first half, and if it hadn't been for the fact that a goal had not been blown away, they would have been ahead long ago.

Before the start of the second half, Aldridge stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets with a cold face, and anyone could see that he was very angry, pointing the finger at the referee team.

'Today's penalty was too lenient, which was clearly in Wimbledon's favour, and with a goal blown away, Hall was rightly unhappy with the referee. Horn was officiating a Premier League game for the first time today, maybe he was too nervous, maybe he wanted to make the game run smoothly and didn't want to interrupt the game too much, but he obviously didn't do it, it's strange, why would a referee with no Premier League experience administer this game, Millwall are always the favourites to win the title, the FA should make sure their game is fair and impartial, and a good referee is the guarantee of this. ”

Not even the on-site narrator could defend Horn.

The level is there, and it is clear at a glance.

It stands to reason that referees with no Premier League experience will be promoted to the top level to enforce the law, and they must have honed their experience from relatively low-profile matches. Any match involving the favourites. Generally, the referee who is familiar to everyone will enforce the law.

Millwall's players were a little scared in the second half.

Like Van der Meyde, he almost didn't dare to dribble the ball. As soon as he received the ball, he passed it out.

He was not afraid of a normal confrontation, but today the opponent's aggressiveness was scary, and the referee did not suppress Wimbledon's violent momentum in time.

Perhaps everyone except Nedved was a little jealous.

Wimbledon, that's the madman who kicked Liverpool to tears.

Millwall's long pass shot was even more determined. Not only did he cross from the wing, but the ball from the back also went straight to the penalty area.

In the 63rd minute, Zambrotta's cross from the left flank landed in a brilliant spot, and Ruud van Nistelrooy looked to jump for the top, only to be knocked to the ground from behind by a Wimbledon defender.

The fans in the stands of the Lion's Den Stadium all stood up, raised their arms and shouted in unison: "Foul!" Penalty kick! ”

Referee Horn crossed his hands in front of him to signal no foul.

Aldrich smiled mockingly.

He knew that it was useless to protest no matter how much he protested, but someone stopped doing it, and Klinsmann, the newly appointed assistant coach, walked up to the fourth official and pointed at the other party's face with indignation and said: "Today's enforcement of the entire referee team is shit!" Shit! You are not worthy of the clothes on your body! ”

The "black-clad judge" was furious. The referee blew to stop the game and ran directly to the sidelines to show Klinsmann a red card, and Klinsmann was a little emotional. He still didn't want to reason with the referee, but Aldridge knew that it was useless, so he blocked him and told him to go back.

Klinsmann turned around and glared at the referee in three steps, but the fans on both sides of the tunnel applauded him.

I have to say that his performance just now quickly won the favor of the fans.

To the sound of boos, Aldridge applauded and taunted the referees.

Referee Horn hesitated and did not dare to send Aldridge off as well.

This is the Lion's Den Stadium, Millwall's home stadium, is he trying to sit on the notoriety of smashing the field?

The game continued, Horn couldn't stand the continuous boos, and finally began to take out the cards to warn the Wimbledon players, but there was less than half an hour left in the game, and it didn't matter if the Wimbledon players took turns to eat cards, the game had been intermittent, and Wimbledon deliberately delayed the time, and the score remained 0:0.

Fifteen minutes into the final fifteen minutes, Aldridge sent Materazzi up front as well.

However, when Wimbledon retreated across the line, they were always able to set up their defences, because whenever there was danger, they fouled and then delayed the time, and after the defence was completed in and out of the box, Millwall had to rely on set-pieces to find opportunities.

When regular time is over, the fourth official plays for four minutes of stoppage time.

Aldrich shook his head and smiled.

There were so many fouls in the second half, Wimbledon also made three substitutions, delayed time when he had the opportunity, and only gave 4 minutes of stoppage time at the end.

However, in stoppage time, Nedved relied on his own play in front of the box to break through two opposing players in succession, and was brought down by a third player outside the penalty line, but he poked the ball early to Klose in the box.

Klose managed to win the ball against offside and was about to shoot when referee Horn's whistle blew.

Klose ignored the whistle and fired straight into the Wimbledon goal.

But Horn pointed to the outside of the box and signalled that it should be a direct free-kick from Millwall.

Nedved got up from the ground and yelled at the referee in disbelief: "That's a good shot, we've scored!" ”

Horn explained with a serious face, "But I'm blowing the whistle in front. ”

Millwall's players all surrounded Horn, who was "besieged" and showed three yellow cards and one red card in a row, and Materazzi was sent off directly for insulting the referee!

Aldridge was expressionless on the sidelines.

When play resumed, Frank Lampard's free-kick flew over the crossbar and referee John Horn blew the whistle straight for the end of the game.

Frank Lampard was stunned and ran up to Horn and said: "There are four minutes of stoppage time, the foul was in the second minute, at least two minutes left!" ”

Horn ignored anyone, and when he had the ball, he and his fellow referees planned to leave the field together.

Aldridge swerved into the tunnel of the players.

The whole audience booed at the Lion's Den Stadium, and a strange scene appeared.

The big fat man Arthur rushed all the way into the stadium from the passage next to the VIP seat.

The staff next to him probably realized what the president of the club, the young marshal's father, was going to do. He's an out-and-out rascal!

So the people next to him rushed up to grab Arthur, who was full of anger. Arthur was grabbed by the arm by the two. He flicked his arms and couldn't break free, so he pulled his arms straight out of his suit and continued to rush forward.

When he was less than three meters away from Horn, the men behind him finally dragged him again, and Arthur was dragged from behind by the three men but still moved forward step by step, and he roared at the referees like crazy.

"You robbery! Help Wimbledon rob us! Football war criminals! Disgrace! Grass and mud horses, roll over here, Lao Tzu will beat you to death! ”

Arthur was eventually stopped by six men. With a hideous face, he stared at the referee team with his eyes and grinned very unwillingly.

When the referee team walked to the front of the players' tunnel, there were a row of security guards on both sides to stop the angry fans from rushing down, but the fans in the nearby stands still frantically attacked the referee team members with lighters, coins and other miscellaneous items.

In the end, the referee team left the field with the image of a rat holding his head

"About five years ago, we wouldn't have been surprised or surprised to see this scene on the Lion's Den Course, but at this moment, it's rare and emotionally normal. Millwall felt that they had been treated very unfairly, and the fans just reacted normally to the injustice of normal people. The game is over with Millwall drawing 0-0 at home to Wimbledon and hopefully today's game won't affect their next fixtures. ”

After the game, reporters from all walks of life on Fleet Street gathered at the press conference, and Millwall was supposed to host Wimbledon, and the match was not as much attention as the other London derby that was being played at the same time: Chelsea vs Arsenal.

So many reporters went to Stamford Bridge before the game, but they were all rushing to the Lion's Den pitch at this time.

Aldridge spent a long time in the dressing room after the game to reassure the players, he needs the players to face it calmly, anger is useless, anger can make them lose their minds.

By the time he appeared at the press conference, the seats under the stage were already full, and many reporters were standing in the aisle, looking crowded.

Aldrich sat down with an indifferent expression, picked up the mineral water on the table and took two sips.

Richard couldn't wait to ask directly: "Mr. Hall, what do you think of today's game?" ”

Aldrich's face was pale, and he said lightly: "The opponent is too strong, and we managed to get a draw with difficulty. ”

The reporters in the audience were stunned.

Richard rhetorically asked, "Don't you have an opinion on the enforcement of referees?" ”

Aldridge looked puzzled, and asked the other party: "Is there a referee in today's game?" Why didn't I see it? I only saw that from the start to the end of the game, Millwall played one less than Wimbledon and we used 11 men and then 10 men to challenge the strong Wimbledon 12 men and thankfully we didn't lose. ”

The reporters on Fleet Street suddenly realized and at the same time became excited.

It's you who are waiting for you to fire!

However, no matter how much they fanned the flames, Aldridge only said that Millwall had one less player, and there was no referee on the field, and the game was reasonable both in terms of process and result.

Aldridge's calm sarcasm, combined with several controversial decisions of the game, put the game in the spotlight after the game.

Millwall did not complain to the referee and the FA naturally did not investigate anything.

However, the FA's fine was issued quickly.

Aldridge was banned for five matches for inappropriate remarks after the game and fined £100,000.

Jurgen Klinsmann was sent off, with three additional penalties and a £30,000 fine.

Materazzi was shown a red card, suspended for two games, fined two plus two penalties and fined £5,000.

Club president Arthur threatened the referee after the game and was banned from the stadium for 10 home games.

At the same time, after the riot at the Lion's Den Stadium, fans attacked the referee team, the FA launched a stadium safety investigation, and the punishment will be announced after the results of the investigation.

FA chairman Wiseman also made public remarks that the FA is reconsidering whether to continue to loan Wembley, a stadium with national image, in light of the chaos caused by Millwall fans.

Millwall's response was lackluster, neither appealing, nor paying the fines as soon as possible.

Aldridge met with Andrew in a park in the eastern suburbs of London the night after the game, and the two did not go home separately until late at night.

At the same time, this incident caused a fierce reaction from the entire Premier League, and the Premier League, which could not afford to play early, wanted to use the topic to set off a round of power and profit.

Professional Tournament Officials Limited (PGMOL) has the power to oversee the refereeing committee, and this company is a three-party initiative, the FA, the Premier League, and the Premier League Commission, which is naturally full of power struggles and intrigues.

Now, the Premier League wants to expand their say, and Millwall's game gives them the opportunity to slap the table with the FA. (To be continued......)
