Anthony Taylor appointed ref for Chelsea

[franksinatra]

Ha ha! Just for kicks and giggles Frank, why don't we play a game? Taking it in turns, I'll name a City game when he's given the opposition everything and you name one when his decisions have broadly favoured us.....

Leicester (H) last season.

Over to you......[/QUOTE

I would be lying if I could even remember his performances accurately. Nothing stands out either way if I am honest.

No I have never posted under the name Pigeonho as any moderator can confirm right now. It speaks volumes about you that you would make something like that up.

As for needing help, for what exactly? Unlike you I have the courage of my own convictions and as yet no one has named a bad decision by this ref against us and like others have said is not one of the worst out there.

You're being disingenuous in so much as in the absence of an obvious Clattenburg style outrage (like the penalty for handball against Sterling vs Spurs last season), you know people are going to be unlikely to be able to recall more minor incidents, and that the overall handling of City games is what the main concern is. And on that score I can remember two games when he gave the opposition virtually every 50/50 decision - Leicester and West Ham - in the Leicester game there were things like not giving Zabaleta a penalty for a trip right on the line of the penalty area (he called a free kick about an inch outside it), and awarding a goal kick instead of a corner after a shot by Silva took a deflection to the tune of about 30 degrees. He shouldn't be refereeing our games and nor should Mason

Get help Frank.

He should be nearly neutral, won't want either of us winning.

That's convenient.

I actually agree with you to stop this type of debate he should not be reffing a game involving a Manchester club because it lends itself to accusations of bias/cheating etc.

Its not being disingenuous Exeter but the feeling on this forum is he is corrupt and a red, I have just not seen or read any evidence to support it.

But like you say based on his proximity, a Silva shot or a possible pen not given can lend itself to that where if it was a ref from far away it could be chalked off as a genuine mistake.

Another pointless contribution

Don't mind them Pidge.

I have just watched the Zabba trip, repeatedly, and I could not say with certainty if it was a penalty or not. For a ref in real time that would be a near impossible decision.

Pretty much every city fan believes there is bias, in the way media reports on us vs other historee clubs, refereeing decisions in general (especially insidious minor things like allowing opponents to foul away while penalising city players at the first opportunity) or the whole ffp fiasco.

You don't believe it, fine.

What is pointless is haunting a thread like this and getting riled yourself, and annoying others.

I have seen that bastard mason run over the width of the pitch - actually run! - to yellow card dzeko for dissent.
Why? Because dzeko was fouled, and had the temerity to look towards him, hands outstretched, lip still bleeding from the elbow he had suffered.

We watch matches and read reports, and form our opinions based on what we see, not just blind devotion to city. Kindly don't come over and talk down to every fan here as if we are simpletons.
