Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Bournemouth (02/11/25)

Is Anthony Taylor always shit or is this a one-off?

History says yes.

Thought the one Haaland missed was easiest of the three

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

And then the ref blows up before you can take the corner, 19 seconds after the 5 mins are up but where 40 seconds were spent on a foul and prep for a free kick.

But it's Anthony Taylor, the biggest **** ref there is - it's a lottery as to what decisions you'll get.

No mate, it's a lottery what YOU get, we know pretty much before the match starts what we'll get from him ;)

 

[Sky Blue]

Playing beautifully. Red **** Taylor will be looking for his red card 2nd half. 11 v 12 at the moment.

 

[p.taker]

Oh geez Gary Neville is in the studio for the American broadcast

 

[madloaf]

OOOOH KEVIN DE CHERRRKI.
OOOOH KEVIN DE CHERRRKI

Hope the pundits rip Taylor a new one after this, plenty of noise made in the stadium about him. More songs about him than City almost!!!!!

I'm sure Simon Stone will admonish him in his BBC report.

 

[Gabriel]

Worst call in that half, and boy were there contenders, was the non-decision when O’Reilly was plain through. That smacked of Luiz against Chelsea. Can anyone remember who the referee was that day?…

 

[Kippax77]

Oh the irony.
Last week a rag pulls back a Brighton player by the shirt as they are breaking.... play on says Taylor and the rags profit by scoring a goal.
This week in another part of Manchester, eagle eyed Taylor sees Foden pull at someones shirt off the ball..... yellow card you cheating City scumbag.
The biggest celebrity rag in the UK, one Mr Anthony Taylor

 

[Chak19]

Who do you leave out to have Gonzales and Rodri on the pitch together?

Neither, I'd have both against the dippers next week if Rodri is fully fit.

 

[HypnoticBlue]

This is PGMOL/PL gold star performance from Taylor, it has to be pointed out in the aftermatch press conference, it’s beyond a joke.
Another Chelsea/Taylor masterclass, bent red cünt!

 

[Blue Mist]

In the stadium any idea why the players went to the centre circle as if to do a minutes silence, stood there for 30 secs the it all got cancelled?

No. I was baffled

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

I love the diversity of Doku, Foden, Cherki and Haaland. How do you deal with all of that?

We'll dribble past you, and if that doesn't work we'll work it round you, and if that doesn't work we'll do some Harlem Globetrotter shit... and if that doesn't work we'll just fucking hit you with our one-man battering ram.

 

[Invisible Man Fan]

In the stadium any idea why the players went to the centre circle as if to do a minutes silence, stood there for 30 secs the it all got cancelled?

I thought that was odd too

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Bernardo gets some unfair stick in my opinion, despite everything, but he's so good in this role. Just does all of the dirty work for the team, happy to get the ball wherever, knows when to slow us down.

 

[David Kloppesh]

How refreshing to see 2 team with different tactics play an open game & entertain the fans .

JUST TO SEE SOME BALD RAG TWAT TRY AND RUIN IT

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

We could easily be 4-1 up with a different ref. Frustrating.

City’s best first half show for a long time, hope we keep it uo

 

[brummie blue]

Is that the second time this season where we haven't been given time to take the corner before the whistle?

Took one minute and 2 seconds, from when Taylor blew for the foul on Foden to when the free kick was taken, out of the extra 5 minutes added. Time to take the corner.

Taylor doesn't even hide his bias.

We need to be careful don't need any red cards, a couple of players on yellow cards and players clearly frustrated with Taylors decisions.

 

[N1985]

Sorry but that's a foul on Donna. Can't let go just as the ball is on top of them

 

[bluemonkey71]

Haaland hat trick, Cherki assist hat trick please
