Anthony Taylor (of Altrincham)

Used to know somebody related through marriage to him, they informed me their entire family are United fans and this was way before he even became a premier league ref. Now he himself could be the most impartial, neutral man on the entire planet but purely through being born and raised in Manchester and having a strong connection to either/both clubs it should be an impossibility for him to ref any games involving either team not least the Derby.

We've seen refs with even the slightest hint of an affiliation to a broad area near a team not be allowed to ref other games involving teams near said team in the league because of a fear of a conflict of interest so how on earth is he approved to referee this game? City should be making a bigger deal about this, and if he really is an altrincham fanl, so should United.

It’s on record that when you want to be a referee you don’t pick a top team! The majority of refereess support shit clubs don’t you know.
 
He claims to be an Altrincham fan, but his family are United fans. How can it be fair to have a guy born in Wythenshawe refereeing any Manchester team, let alone a Manchester Derby! I haven't forgotten or forgiven that shocking debacle against Chelsea. Everyone knows how important Fernie is to us and the negative jibes about tactical fouls before the derby, no doubt he'll be the first with a card.
I know what he claims, but then he has to say that doesn’t he ? Not being funny but out of a whole family of reds he’s an altrincham fan ? Pigs fucking fly too !

If you don’t laugh you’ll cry
 
Pep might? Who knows?
Come Sunday night I don’t think there will be any controversy to discuss from decisions against us.
And if I'm being honest, I feel the same, we're far too good for them.

That Chelsea game will always be a reminder though.

It would just be great if this week could go back to being about the football.
 
The corruption is so blatant it’s disgusting.

Fernandinho to get a yellow in the first 15 minutes and probably a second one later for a small foul.

This is their attempt to make the league “competitive.”
