Recently, Premier League referee Daggett has been caught up in a double scandal of "insulting the gaffer" and alleged drug use. During his suspension and investigation, he has come under scrutiny as new evidence has come to light. It is reported that five years ago, Daggett was a referee for Leeds United in a Premier League match against West Bromwich Albion. Prior to the match, he and a few friends discussed the possibility of player Ariosky facing a yellow card penalty, but unexpectedly this speculation came true, and after the match even triggered the controversy of "I hope you have to buy". The English FA attaches great importance to this, and said it will carry out an in-depth investigation.
On the same night, Ariosky was shown a yellow card for a rough tackle that lasted 18 minutes. Although experts believe the yellow card is reasonable, Daggett left a message on the following day of the game, "I hope you have to buy", triggering the suspicion of "making waves". However, a close friend pointed out that Daggett had not placed a bet, while another friend laughed and said he had. "You guys should split it (for Gutt)." The friends joked.
After the incident came to light, Daggett released a statement denying the allegations of "wave-making", claiming that all the conversations were just a joke between friends and that there was no evidence that they had profited from the incident. The FA expressed extreme concern about the incident and announced that it would launch an urgent investigation.
