Anthony Taylor appointed ref for Chelsea

[willipp]

Shithouse wanker of a ref, gave us fuck all today the rag prick. However, we deserve fuck all if we don't defend properly, regardless of the ref.

The daughter of a mate of mine used to work with him and is, was and always has been red bastard.

Start a thread and watch the connections flow in. Many people on this site know his and his families connections to old Trafford.

Cheesy laying into the ref says a lot IMO

 

[mancitymick]

For the first time my younger daughter, who thinks I'm paranoid about it all, actually asked why do we bother going.
"its bent and we're being robbed, why do we spend £800 a year on a season ticket to just get screwed over"
She has a point, and I'm sat here in the pub asking myself is it all all worth it?
Can't even bring myself to talk to my mate who's come in.

Its a joke that I now think we get a fairer deal from UEFA refs than we do from the FA

Mate, we have talked about this at length and today just confirmed we are both not going mad. It is corrupt

Sums it up totally.

Cheesy is expressing how we all feel. It's a real punch to the guts watching a display like that from Taylor.

I thought that until Barca at home.

You can only think that Sky are in on this.

Sometimes the ref has a terrible game and he gets called up on it and made stupid. Sometimes, like today, he has a terrible game and not only is it totally glossed over in the post-match punditry but the camera work during the game and in highlights packages actually seems to help cover this up. Come on, picking and choosing which refs get their mistakes covered up and which get made to look stupid is specifically why the Italian Des Lynham played such a crucial role in the Calciopoli scandal.

Today, just as you can see the ref reaching for his card to book or send off Luiz, the camera suddenly cut to a close shot of Luiz, who at first seem to know he was in trouble, before looking suprised and playing on! Then Sky cut back to the normal angle and all of a sudden play is just continuing? Then in replays they cut the view of the ref so you can't see how clearly he bottled it. Ridiculous!

I reckon there is good money to be had this season by backing your lot to lose in every big game and have a red card/concede a penalty. It does look like more than co-incidence to me, and that's as someone who isn't a City fan.

 

[Elbow beards]

Were there 3 or 4 pen shouts? I lost count, can anyone sum them up for me?

 

[Millennium]

The referee was not only bad but a criminal, why such referee is allowed to destroy games? destroy all fair efforts? This is should not be acceptable at all, it is not fair.

Who do you support mate?

Says it all when you feel the need to join and post that.

Aye but goals change games and had we got a fair shout in that, the game could've and would've panned out differently.

They were penalties.

Barca is a special case, imho, but we get a much fairer deal than we do from the crooks at PGMOL

Barca are a special case, so are Real and its why i included UEFA and their shitty competition because mark my words, when it comes down to it we will get shafted in that as well if the big 2 need a leg up.

 

[gh_mcfc]

Feel like I did when everything started going against us after the 6-1.

Angry and what's the point . We have to be spot on perfect to even have half a sniff. Yes we should have scored 3 before they did but...

We must be able to start to throw our weight around.. another dossier ????. They don't even try to hide it, they have that much arrogance and contempt for us . They are untouchable .

I am annoyed at the players for getting sent off butalso thinking to fucking right. To get treated so Blantaly unfairly every week must get to them in the end . They are only human.

At least pep knows what he is really up against now.

He can't get away with signing shit goalies or take the foot of the gas in the environment .

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

Salient points:

- Handball by Cahill in the box first half - nothing given.
- Aguero through on goal, body checked by Luiz - nothing (!) given.
- Sane fouled in the box - nothing given.
- Hazard runs into Kolarov - Chelsea FK.
- Silva doesn't retreat 5 yards and blocks a FK - nothing given!
- Willian dives over Kolarov's leg - nothing given.
- Aguero downed in the box (too far away for me to see,) - nothing given.
- Aguero tackles - straight red
- Fabregas slaps Ferna - nothing given
- Batshuayi pushes Aguero over - yellow card
- Ferna pushes Fabregas over - red card

This referee should have a lot of explaining to do to his superiors but that is likely to be dependant on how much of it is shown, and analysed on MOTD, and how much the panel should target the 'dirty, cheating, cynical' tactics used by City players against the purists from south London. My guess is that the best we can hope for from the panel is that both teams were as bad as each other and that this poor referee was forced into his haphazard display by the partisan crowd intimidating him. I can't see anything there that will see his removal as refereeing bodies just stick together in times of crisis.

 

[Brightwell’s left peg]

I don't condone violence against honest referees...

 

[middleton___blue]

We were 100% robbed today by this ****. Yes we lost our way towards the end and conceded sloppy goals due to poor defending once again and we failed to take our chances AGAIN but at the end of the day...we should have been playing ten men for 70% of that game so there shouldn't have even been a contest after Luiz did that.

Not to mention the fact we should of had 2 penalties to put the game to bed before the hour mark! Evenwith our missed chances...we would of won comfortably had we had a ref that isn't bent.

I, like cheeseman, don't have a fucking clue what to say...I'm speechless how these ****s get away with being so corrupt.

Really making me think if there is an actual agenda against us with bent ****s like this being allowed to ref us.

Nail and head....I've been banging on about SKY, BT EPL, FA etc influencing the outcome of games since last season....with the corrupt official today it stood out like a sore thumb and just highlighted the corruption within the game at this level....the silence from the so called experts is deafening and the game for me now is like watching WWE with a script which is expertly followed by the pundits and officials respectively.....it's usually done very cleverly in a way that doesn't raise suspicion that didn't happen today
