Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

What I don’t get is, how did it take a 3 minute VAR check for them to validate the red? Surely if it’s as clear and obvious as it looks (hands on neck) then there’s no grey area…or is there?

The ref sent him off. VAR then have to find a reason that the ref was clearly and obviously wrong to do so, not try and show that he was right. If they felt he was wrong they would have asked him to look at the screen himself but they couldn’t find any evidence that he was wrong to send him off so stuck with the decision.

That process would actually have been a positive for us had Rodri not done anything worthy of a red card, but he did.

I put foul in quotes because it was in the context of bookings-to-fouls. Regardless of the direct reason the bookings were made, the difference in resulting ratios is among the evidence Taylor was not officiating the match fairly.

I understand what you are arguing, and I disagree with the premise it is a completely useless contribution to assessment.

At any rate, I was utlimately disagreeing with your conclusions that “Taylor was even that bad yesterday. Our fanbase have just got a bee in our bonnet about him.”

That is what I was responding to.

I honestly don’t think he was that bad. Not that I’m saying he had a good game.

That’s fair enough.

I personally thought he was quite poor and was officiating to help Forest stay in the game—I actually posted that assessment in the thread toward the end of the first half, before the Rodri incident (you and I both agree Rodri deserved the red, mind).

But the point still stands, how did that take so long?
 
Sending off aside his performance stunk of corruption he was making it as difficult as he could for us while trying to give forest every chance to throw the ball into the box. Same at West ham last week something that's only gonna continue while we r winning every game.
 
I thought the tackle on Haaland early on that Pep said was yellow had similarities to the red Forest got v united a few weeks back when there was probably cover. Just shows the differences in decisions we get, not even a yellow, united a red.
 
If I were Akanji I`d be really pissed off with the yellow card received. Looked nothing in it. I`m surprised Taylor could even see Akanji as he chose to ignore the fact he`d been wrestled to the ground during 2 of our corners.
