I don't give a shit about that decision, that's well down on the list.There can be no other reason for a ref not to apply the Laws of the Game where there is clearly no interpretation needed. To ignore player blatantly pushing another to the ground is violent play. Violent play is a red card simple as that! Unless Tit Taylor has the whistle then it can be a bowl of rhubarb and custard.
There is absolutely no doubt that Taylor's poor refereeing affected the game yesterday, big time. That said, there were other factors such as our poor finishing. However I genuinely believe that there were no circumstances where we would have won the game yesterday Taylor would have seen to that.And yet we had/have fans who say it was either incompetence or it didn't affect the result.
Single large letters on big sheets under shirts shiuld do the trick. Unless they pat everyone down for every layer of clothing???You can't even get a selfie stick into the ground these days so good luck with that.
Dion Dublin, again on the FA Cup has just said Rojo has lunged in with an awful two footed tackle. And to his incredulity no card was given, he can't believe it.

ThisHe didn't bottle it. He deliberately didn't give it.
It doesn't really matter whether Taylor cost us the game or not. We are entitled to fair, impartial and objective refereeing just as any and every team is. Taylor's performance was so lamentably short of the standards everyone has a right to expect that it beggared belief. That display was yet another indictment of the FA, the body that is ruining English football, most obviously through its handling of everything to do with the national team, but, in fact, through everything it touches. We see exceptionally poor refereeing every week. It is the norm, though yesterday did plumb the depths. Football is a sport that is both a national obsession and big business. Yet it's standards of control are pathetic. Taylor states that he is an Altrincham fan - the world and his dog know he is a United fan - and the FA accepts this without any kind of verification. He can referee rag games - so he stiffs Liverpool to do the lads a good turn- and City matches. He gives a display consistent with what would be expected of a red fanatic, but the FA is accountable to no-one and City are dismissed as bad losers. But fans of all clubs have genuine grievances over refereeing every week (apart from a few clubs we can all name). Just to add a few of our more spectacular cases from our past-takeover past: Adebayor given a ban retrospectively by an FA panel of Arsenal and United officials for incitement of Arsenal fans after the FA had found Henry had "no case to answer" for doing exactly the same thing. Sergio given a ban retrospectively for elbowing Reid of West Ham because the elbowing was "brutal" even though it made no contact: for drawing blood Ibrahimovic (of?) had no case to answer. It appears that the carefully selected pundits off Sky decide who should be cited and the FA lacks the guts to stand up for the basic underlying principles of competitive sport, or resist the company that pours so much into the TV deal. And there is no accountability, no right of appeal. Claims that referees are told what they must see and must not see are swept under the carpet. Otherwise the unworthy captain of England may end up getting sent off.
Can you put the clips on here? I have seen the Gungodan one and it very similar to the challenge Rojo made on Yaya the other year which was also not given when it should have been. Also convinced their first gosl included a hand ball by Costa. Part chest and part arm. Would like to see the Cahill hand ball and the Navas trip. Hopefully the club will ask the FA why the Chelsea players only received yellow cards when the law is very clearNow having calmed down I have been able to play back the incidents in slow motion, unlike SKY.
The Gondogan foul is as clear a penalty as you can get. Navas was also one whatever Neville claims. The foul on Sergio by Louis was a red card and two Chelsea players should have been sent off in the mayhem at the end as well as our two. Ferdy was offside for the header. Taylor must never be allowed to referee us again.
