I may have been wrong saying it was a red, but it could have been a red.
Like you I do think it was strong and therefore a booking. My relieve when I saw the yellow was based on knowing Taylor was the ref and thought we had given him a decision.
Something needs to be done by the club to bring matters like this in the public and make it a talking point.
In the build up to the final this week Pep should highlight fully the systematic fouling Silva endured under this ref until he had to go off injured.
This than makes it harder for Arsenal to do it as it will be picked up by commentators, fans and be in the refs mind knowing he will be criticised afterwards if he ignores it.
I never have a problem with hard but fair tackles and I think Delph went in hard with no intent unlike the twat who went in on Kun and made sure he caught him just above the knee.
Tackling is part and parcel of the game and as long as it isn't done with intent to injure a player it's fine by me.
We have had so many potentially career ending assaults on our players this season yet none were deemed worthy of a red yet Delphs is... something very fishy going on.
Taylor is a rag and has history with us...Chelsea game as an example..City need to make a case to FA and demand some clarity.
