Anthony Taylor (of Altrincham)

Gingers Dad said:
Last premier league game Anthony officiated at the Etihad was the Chelsea game that ended in a fight. With two City players sent off and no Chelsea players. The fight was a culmination of what had gone before. The main decision he had bottled was the sending off that Luiz should have got when checked off Aguero when he was last man.
The last City match Anthony was in charge of was Wigan away in the cup. Where he sent Delph off after being persuaded by the Wigan players to do so. Even though he had already started writing down Delph's booking on his yellow card.

Cheesy's rant after the Chelsea game said everything that needed to be said. There was definitely more to that "refereeing" display than pure incompetence.

N'uff said.
 
Ducker and two other rags have written an article on the appointment, I've not linked it but it finishes with this pearl:


"In a tongue-in-cheek response, A MUST spokesman said: "We can see why Manchester City would be concerned about the appointment of a local lad to ref the derby. In common with the vast majority of Mancunians, the probability is that Taylor is a red. We'd be concerned if there was someone from Stockport refereeing the game. Or the UAE. In the end we all want Fair Play!"


Edit: it was written entirely by Ducker, what a week he is having, hope he changes the sheets.
 
Looks like, with all the negative comments in the media and the latest 'City cheating' allegations, the scene is set for some poor officiating..... and no fucker (apart from us City fans) will care cos it will be open season on City now.

Too many negative headlines are being written at the moment for it not to affect the decisions in the game, and basically "that twat taylor" can do what the fuck he wants in this game, and nobody will pull him up on it!!

All the indications for this game are a utd win and at least one sending off of a City player!!
 
So our win record under him is 55.5%, their’s is 75%, a bit of an anomaly given how the two clubs have fared over the last six years or so.

Additionally, he’s given us three red cards in those games, an average of one every six games. In the 24 United games he’s officiated, he’s given them 0 red cards. An average of, um, 0 red cards every 24 games.

All seems above board and legitimate.

You’ve already said you don’t think he’s a red, so what do you think his MO is?

I’ve no idea what his MO is, but I don’t think he referees us in a fair and neutral way for whatever reason. Were you happy with his handling of, say, the Wigan and Chelsea games?

The Chelsea one was a disgrace in particular. Unbelievable Infact, especially the Luiz incident. Like Roger East, I just think he’s a shit ref.
 
The issue is that he seems to be a shit ref when City are concerned and NOT United hence why man City fans think that this particular appointment for this particular match is a disgrace
 
This appointment sickens me. So we've just got to beat the fuckers out of site and make sure his bent decisions are mere consolatons.

As someone born and bred in Wythenshawe I can confirm that it has been in and part of the city of Manchester since 1931, when Manchester purchased the land off Cheshire to build the mainly council housing estate of Wythenshawe.
No part of Wythenshawe is in Trafford or anywhere else. It is in Manchester.

Fair enough. It's 30 years since I lived in Manchester, and never really went to those areas. Maybe it was just old school snobbishness of some Altrincham people continuing to claim to be from Cheshire.

Regarding Wythenshawe, I think I was probably going off something like this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wythenshawe_and_Sale_East_(UK_Parliament_constituency)
"Wythenshawe and Sale East is a parliamentary constituency in the city of Manchester and the borough of Trafford."

"Wythenshawe and Sale East electoral wards - Brooklands, Priory, and Sale Moor within Trafford Council(left) and Baguley, Brooklands, Northenden, Sharston and Woodhouse Park within Manchester City Council(right)."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trafford
"Trafford is a metropolitan borough of Greater Manchester, England, with an estimated population of 235,493 in 2017.[2] It covers 41 square miles (106 km2)[3] and includes the areas of Old Trafford, Stretford, Urmston, Altrincham, Partington and Sale. The borough was formed in 1974 as a merger of the metropolitan boroughs of Altrincham, Sale, and Stretford, the urban districts of Bowdon, Hale and Urmston and part of Bucklow Rural District."

The appointment of Taylor if Altrincham (where he lives, according to posters here) is in Trafford struck me as the odd bit.

I know what your response will be to this, but fuck it, I shouldn’t feel I can’t post it for fear of being thread banned or bad mouthed.

Woman over the road from me is a home and away united supporter. One of those clad in colours. Her house is named ‘old trafford’. A proper fan girl type. On her Facebook yesterday she put on how the blues are being smacked arsed about Taylor’s appointment, which lead to a thread about 50 comments deep from her mates who all think Taylor is bent AGAINST them! The stats say otherwise. Not my stats by the way, they were on Transfermrkt. Interesting though that they think he’s bent against them.
