Anthony Taylor appointed ref for Chelsea

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

What does he genuinely think of the push on Aguero and the Fabregas slap? Always red card offences usually unless it's Taylor v City. Unless he thinks they are red then I'd call him the nutter. Like you, I've already said this incident has made me think about not bothering next season. I can't stomach it any longer.

The countless Rooney elbows, the effing and jeffing on an industrial scale to referees, the Rojo lunges, the Ibra 'accidents'? And let's not forget the countless penalties MANUre were given when they were struggling to get the first, the Ash the Crash dives from the thirty metre board. All regular, all sanctioned, and often the pens were given the additional advantage of having the man sent off! We don't get stonewall penalties let alone anything that Crappenberg would describe as a 'coming together'!

Sadly football isn't his thing at the moment, he's just lost both his elderly parents who were separated years ago in the space of 10 days otherwise I'd have perhaps tried to get him on to argue his point.

I know it's not a popular view, but some of the facts around penalties do suggest a slight difference. Since 10/11 we've been awarded 46 penalties and conceded 15. As a completely meaningless statistic, that puts us 31 in credit. Chelsea are on 23 (41/18), rags are on 16 (35/19), Liverpool on 13 (39/26), Spurs on 5 (29/24) and Arsenal on minus 2 (27/29). So, looking purely at penalties awarded for and against, it doesn't look like we suffer overly much.

He comes from a family of rags from Wythenshawe. A sceptic could call his supposed support of Altrincham a flag of convenience. Saying he is one of maybe 3,000 Alti fans world wide would not damage his career prospect. Coming out and saying he supported United would effect his opportunities to ref so many big game thus effecting his forward movement to Cup games, Cl games and International games

The last part - absolutely.

It's amazing. Not a single elite ref follows Liverpool, Everton, City, Utd, Arsenal, Spurs or Chelsea!

 

[MillionMilesAway]

He's a rag, but that shouldn't matter anyway, considering his location, he shouldn't be near any games that influence city or united, and that includes any team playing us or anyone in the top 6 or 7 teams, simply because he can influence the results too easily, just as he did when we played Chelsea, and today.

He's a cheat, he doesn't hide it, and its been the same for a number of years.

The underlined part - I disagree with this. He'd barely be allowed to ref anyone on that basis.

On statistics alone it looks favorable to us. But can you genuinely point out any that you thought should not have been awarded to us?

The trouble with stats like that is that they don't really tell much through context. If all 46 penalties were for handball on the goalline, that would be fine.

More interesting and informative would be the number that aren't/are given that are wrong decisions.

Anthony Taylor is an Altrincham fan - questionable but in line with the quality of his performance against Chelsea , does it matter who he supports ?

The man in an incompetent twat at best, totally out of his depth, or totally corrupt individual who referees to instructions from the biggest set of cnuts going - the FA .

The number of " incidents " which the players of the " biggest team in the world " get away with is fucking sickening , and retrospective action is something reserved for players of other clubs but never the odious Rag twats.

The Swedish Ego should have had a similar number of red cards to the number of goals scored - but that is never going to happen courtesy of the FA and their shite referees.

AT is just one of the most glaringly obvious of a fucking bad bunch.

With our build up play i'd suggest we spend more time in and around our opponents penalty area than any other team which would give the impression we are still well shy of what we should have had.

And how the fuck Rojo hasn't been given a straight red recently is quite unbelievable.
