Antony Taylor is the referee for the West Ham game.

[Rammy Blue]

I don't think the elbow on Silva was a red. I thought he was pretty decent to be fair.

That's not a red?

He knew exactly what he was doing. That's a straight red all day long.

Yep, and Taylor had a great view, the fucking rag prick.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Another in a long list of piss poor performances from a referee in our games.

Fouls for shoulder to shoulder contact by Kun & Navas, Yaya's foul in the centre circle when he won the ball cleanly etc.... On the other hand Valencia in particular and 3/4 others diving all over the shop, Taylor could of course just be shit but the rag stories surely make him doing our games very iffy.

 

[Deepest Blue]

Was saying to my mate in the next seat that either it was delibrerate and a red or accidental and no card.
Maybe someone who knows the laws of the game better than me can say how there can be an inbetween decision awarded?

 

[Bill]

He was his usual useless self

check your pm's.

 

[bobmcfc]

But, but he supports Altrincham!! (Or so the fucking rags say)!

Nobody supports fecking altrincham !

 

[kupest]

Well I don't think it was intentional (debatable) but it was still a red considering the outcome.

 

[chaddblue]

piss poor ref, only matched by the clown linesman

Luckily Taylor didn't have to make any match changing decisions cos I'm positive he would have got them wrong

 

[Eccles Blue]

That was a red all day long. Taylor was one of the worst referees I've seen all season and that's saying something with some of the bad calls we've had and it was a disgrace that a referee was giving fouls against our players nothing at all and if one of ours even looked wrongly at a West Ham player that was classed as a foul.

That thug should have been sent off, Taylor was near enough to see it and knew it was deliberate. But they will get away with it. After all it's only a Manchester City player who is in hospital!!

He has got away with it. He got booked so no further action can be taken

Assault in a public place

He's a rag KUNT gave us FCUK all and the none red after that challenge on Silva says it all about the fucker

I don't think the elbow on Silva was a red. I thought he was pretty decent to be fair.

Ha ha ha.
WTF is then?

It looks like a red on the gif to be fair. Especially if there was intent. The arm movement seems natural even if it eems to move a little more forecefully than it should have just before contact.

Ben Thatcher got a further ban, where's the difference?

The difference between the two incidents is huge. Today the lad just tried (a little too forcefully) to get his arm over and past him to get himself free into space and he banged one into David's mush; Thatcher looked and targeted Mendes and purposely stuck the elbow on him in an assault.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Looked a red at the match. Absolutely nailed on from the gif.

its incidents like this that some fans would look to seek revenge for.

Such a shit clueless embarrassment of a ref,makes Clattenburg look like Robocop.

I'm sorry, but that's just bullshit. The lad struck Silva forcefully with his elbow, from above. That's as deliberate as it gets. You don't accidentally club someone with your elbow like that, you only do that if you are trying to cause damage. You might raise an elbow into someone by accident, but not strike downwards. It's indefensible.

It doesn't to me. He appears to have his elbows lower when he runs naturally as you can see in the GIF just after he, imo, deliberately goes to do it. I've seen these types of tricks on fields from Sunday League up to the PL and he knew exactly what he was doing. You can even see the elbow go out to hit Silva.

I never expected anything else from the rag tosser, it was the East stand linesman that got me mad, two absolutely stonewall offsides not given in that first half - not marginal, more like 5 yards off.
