Ref for Sunday - Everton

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

For me, he is the worst of the lot. Can't remember who he reffed last weekend.
But, i do remember he was woeful, at best.

Thought it might be Walton

Let's be honest they are all shite. Winning comfortably has masked how bad both Dean and Atkinson were. West Brom were lucky not to have finished with nine on the pitch. He let a unquestionable yellow go after four minutes and the same player Gardner committed numerous fouls before eventually getting a yellow. As the hired thug who came on at half time specifically to boot David all over the pitch how he stayed on I have no idea! Then there was the obligatory penalty not given.
Yesterday Atkinson let them get away with murder especially Fabregas, Costa and Ivanovic, the latter really should be sent off every week so persistent does he foul. To a man everyone sat near me knew the first yellow would be shown to a City player despite Chavski's constant fouling. 4 bookings to 2 was laughable.
So Taylor may well be a useless tosspot but he is one of many.

Fuck me I legit laughed when I opened this thread. Of course it's Anthony Taylor after our dominant display to the season. Of fucking course it is.

Manchester City were awarded the least amount of fouls of any teams last season {310 to City compared to 487 for Man Utd} and City committed 50 more fouls {472 to 389} than Everton last season. This appears odd when you consider the amount of time City spend in possession of the ball; City were ranked 1st for 'Possession in Final Third', 'Total Touches', 'Touches in Opponents Half', 'Touches in Final Third' and 'Touches in Penalty Area' and 2nd for 'overall possession' and 'overall possession in final third'. It would have made sense to me that a team on the back-foot who are defending, without the ball who need to make tackles, clearances and interceptions would commit more fouls but City aren't in that scenario. Therfore to conclude it must be because we maintain possession of the ball for long spells of the game and when we lose the ball we press the ball aggressively; yet that doesn’t explain why the statistics are so extreme when comparing City and United. So we must consider a team who play a similar style in another league; let’s choose Barcelona as it’s no secret that this is the team that Man City aspires to replicate both on and off the pitch! I’m starting to understand why it often feels like the referee is not watching the same game as we the fans are when the sums don’t add up! Perhaps someone could explain that to me? The only logic I can see is that Eibar play in sky blue!

Just as a matter of interest one of the assistants at our game on Sunday is the mon who just give Liverpool that goal tonight.....which he got wrong

 

[deano ou812]

So just to keep the pattern going,our players will be booked first foul,Everton players on Sunday 5 or 6 fouls before ref consider's a booking

Brilliant work. It really is depressing how blatant the cheating is!
