Anthony Taylor (of Altrincham)

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

It was reasonable enough. I thought Fern would have been booked for that trip in the first half but wasn’t.

No and if you aren’t happy with that referees performance then you will never be happy with any, ever.

IMO which, like you, i’m entitled, to he was passable.
He made heavy weather over some robust united tackles but penalised us for some soft ones. Nothing new there.
He didn’t give them to many easily won fouls, but he did give them some around the box.
B Silva was booked for his first foul.
It was a clear penalty to scum, but Sane was clearly chopped for a penalty.

So i’m Not happy no, because the refs shouldn’t make so many simplistic errors.

Overall did pretty well but the forearm on Sane looked to be a foul.

Not seen it again since ive got back, can anyone watching on tele please confirm if it was a penalty or not?

We would have been hacked off if a pen had been given against us for that but seen them given.

According to rag fans on the mUen web site - Taylor was wearing BLUE today. I love it!

 

[wattle]

Did as good for us as can be expected. I was dreading it

 

[franksinatra]

I thought he was good but will reserve a final judgement to viewing the pen and the Sane appeal on tv rather than live.

I must admit he seemed to let the game run well and never blew up everytime some player hit the floor.

Still think refs refereering so locally is not a good idea.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Haha,only just seen this......i am a glass half full type ;-)

Turns out you were spot on! The Altrincham fan was dangerously close to competence. The best I’ve ever seen him, albeit that he’d set his own bar pretty low!

 

[Thomas Hearns]

As always when we win there can be no real gripes with the ref. But he was too keen to book Bernard when similar fouls from them went unpunished and Sergio got smashed in the face from one of their mug defenders and he didn’t even have a word with him.
In fairness to him Ferna gave him a couple of chances to give him a soft yellow but he let it go

 

[chaddblue]

He really didn’t have any contentious decisions to make

 

[avoidconfusion]

i think he did well but when he did not give the penalty to Sane he showed his true colours

 

[Mon Autre]

I need to see our penalty claim again but that aside i thought he had a good game. He let fernandinho off with one in the first half where others might have (harshly) given a card and I thought the yellow for Bernardo was fair enough too. I don't think Bernardo had any malicious intent but it was a messy one.

 

[manchester blue]

But plenty will.

Well he should have booked Ashley Young. Not for anything in particular but my 100/1 double of Silva first goal and Young first booking would have come in!

 

[The blue phantom]

I'm sure his rag family and far eastern bookies are not happy with him tonight :)

All I can say is he was fuckin good, anyone finding fault are looking for things that are not there.

 

[bavarian blue]

He was more than decent.

 

[Indaparkside]

He was more than decent.

Pep put the shits up him. He knew the whole world was watching the bent ****

 

[BLUEMATT23]

That will be the next instalment of Del Spiegel tomorrow!
City but the ref Taylor and turn him blue!

 

[Dax777]

It was in the box.

Nope it was outside

Was outside the box

It wasn't a penalty. At best w foul at the top.of the key. Also his faliure to card Dihno in spite of 3 professional fouls will suggest, he missed calls both ways, but overall was very good

Compared to many on here I'm quite reasonable when it comes to refs but Taylor should have given a 2nd yellow to Shaw for that blatant dive in the 2nd half and that looked like a clear pen when Smalling put his arm across Sane in the box, also in the 2nd half. Other than that the twat wasn;t too bad.
