Ref Watch

I don't think that's true, as from that angle any touch on his chest would be hidden - you're ONLY going to see the ball when it's by his arm.

It's not great quality, but if you watch the front angle slowmo replay slowed right down to 0.25 speed on youtube, it looks like there are two clear touches - which given where it hit his arm only really makes sense if it comes off his chest.

The fact we only got shown an inconclusive half-arsed replay that they glossed over tells you everything you need yo know.

I still wish one of our players stopped the game by whatever means necessary when Trent handballed prior to them going up the other end and scoring.
 
So, how many more times will we see a young player concede multiple fouls, be told he’s on his last warning, and then have his skipper spoken to so that he can have a word with him, because this time the referee really, really means it?

Every year the season starts with something bizarre, a guidance that really isn’t written down so is wide open to interpretation, but this one is hilarious. Doubt we’ll see any more of it by September.

The player committed enough fouls to be double yellow carded at least twice.

You can bet we aren't afforded the same level of lenience next week.
 
Taylor is inept or biased, either way he is and never was good enough to be a professional referee. What on earth was going through his head in the first half giving their right back so many chances and warnings. You just knew he wouldnt apply the same rules to our players and he didnt dissapoint.

I’ll never forget the Chelsea game. A truly shocking performance from the Alty fan.

That was the day I first saw behind the curtain. When Luiz brought down Aguero, he put his whistle to his mouth and his hand to his pocket. I remember Ratboy saying on the commentary "He's in big trouble here."

Our players surrounded Taylor who clearly had something said in his ear. He then bizarrely waved play on.

I've searched the internet for a replay of it but it seems to have been deleted from history.

Edit - You can see the foul here on 2.20. Watch Taylor put his whistle to his mouth and then not blow it.
