Anthony Taylor (of Altrincham)

At the top we have Howard Red. I've watched that Mic'd Up programme once. That was enough. Red and Michael Owen talking in a simpering, whiny, condescending tone about decisions that were easy to make. Get fucked, give us the complete, unedited tape of the rodent's offside goal against us. Let's have the full tape of a match. Alternatively, let everyone who has paid to to attend the game hear the conversations...in their entireity. Show us the incidents on the big screen.
Until then, we can all see with our own eyes the way matches are refereed and make up our own conclusions.
Yes football refereeing decisions should be broadcast for all to see , problem solved.

But whilst you have half wits screaming that its corrupt, it filters down to grass toots and makes it poisoness
 
the incident I remember was him kicking Sergio at the North Stand end in the Derby which Atkinson ignored

“Kicking,” you say? More like trying to break his leg, in the penalty area, over the top of the ball!

No foul, no red card, no penalty, no game changing goal, no playing against 10 men…but not corrupt, just absolutely abysmal refereeing!
 
Definitely Atkinson, but the Chelsea game was the worst referees performance I've seen in 40 odd years ,all escalated because he didn't send Luis off.

Sorry mate. It was Taylor. We lost 1-3 and one of the worst reffing displays I've seen too. Check it out.
The Luiz foul and Taylor's ineptitude would have been easier to sweep under the carpet had KDB not missed an open goal while we were 1-0 up. The late red cards to Sergio and Fernandinho were caused by frustration and probably wouldn't have happened had we been cruising to a win.

Didn't Young also handle the ball in the box when in on the ground near the end? Could have at least ended 3-3
 
I know for certain one of his brothers is a season ticket holder at the swamp. Alti Tony also played cricket at Timperley hockey and cricket club and played in the same side as my business partner and he was well known as a rag supporter. He should be nowhere near officiating the dipper, the rags or our games!!
I think you may need better sources. He hasn't got any brothers.
 
And guess which team is the only one ever penalised for doing this...
Spot on, it wouldn’t change a thing for the red shirt cunts but City would get hammered with it..
Keepers time wasting is another example of City getting shafted but virtually no others ..
Whatever rules are brought in are meaningless unless applied fairly across the board and that ain’t ever gonna happen ..!

And don't forget the foul throws we seem to have an epidemic of from our players.
But, the ref's are just doing their jobs.... selectively!!
 
I used to work with his ex wife Joanne (Jo). She said something along the lines that whenever he gave contentious decisions, the kids would get harassed the following Monday, no need.

He is a rag, and she said that the only reason he didn't declare it was purely financial, he'd be missing out on the high profile lucrative games. Abusing refs isn't going to make their decision making any better but the shroud of secrecy around VAR now is unhealthy.

It's good that Taylor speaks out on the mourinho abuse, he and the others should also have to give post match interviews on big decisions too. Otherwise, the more opaque you make the process, the more suspicious people will be.

Incidentally it's extremely disheartening to hear how youth refs are being treated.
 
There has been an experiment in the Northern league for the last couple of years where if you abuse the ref you get 5 minutes in the sin bin. Hasn't stopped it one bit
I was surprised to see that it was actually much longer than that. And it appears to have had an impact reducing dissent and has support of players, managers and refs


Would like to see a more recent evaluation though
 
The problem is it is going too far the other way: ref makes an absolute fuck-up of a decision that could mean a club being dumped out of the FA Cup, or maybe even relegated, the decision is so ridiculous it looks like the fans could storm the pitch, but if a player dares to voice his views using somewhat base language the player is in trouble.

It's beyond the realms of stupidity that this has got to the stage where it's even being debated: we might as well go all the way and discard the actual game itself and just ask pgmol who they would like to see win.
