Anthony Taylor (of Altrincham)

[Whether or not]

Whilst I don’t agree with harassment of referees, I have little sympathy for Taylor. His entire refereeing career has been based on a lie, that he has perpetuated to get himself on the elite list and profit from it. He is a rag, everybody knows he is a rag, yet he’s still allowed to ref their games.

The media aide the abuse of referees the way they portray anything that is vaguely not in favour of the chosen few.

It’s odd the way he refuses to admit his ragness to people he’s been close to for 30 years. Yet, seemingly can’t leave the house without happily telling random barbers, ex work colleagues and pretty much everyone else he bumps into, what a big United fan he is.

A career move.

He moved out of Manchester to be allowed to ref Derbies.

Mike Dean did the same with Liverpool.

I call Alty a rag bastard but I believe he's a career ref. He's got ambitions to ref all the big finals and might actually get them.

I'd even have him as a potential replacement for when Webb leaves PiGMOL.

If the FA/UEFA/FIFA are serious about protecting their match officials they should bite the bullet and go for yellows/reds for abuse/dissent.

It will cause a lot of games to finish early but it will get the message across eventually. Hower I doubt the TV companies will allow it to ruin their spectacle.

ATIAC.
And a cheating one at that.
Almost every single word of his " bbc " interview is utter crap.
He and his brothers are all staunch utd fans. Everyone knows it.
Despicable man. And the main reason I don't watch City games " live " anymore.
He is a bigger C than GN .....and that takes some doing.
Can't stand the man.

I see he’s gone from having one imaginary brother to multiple, all in the space of one page. Good work.
