Ref Watch

[Chris in London]

Farcical that Grealish was fouled as many times as he was, and their defender got away with as many as he did, for Grealish to be booked for his first foul!

I think Jack is learning that playing for City means you are refereed in a slightly different way.

To be fair he got most of his free kicks which I was surprised with

Apart from not booking the rb he left it until 70 mins to start giving them everything

And then Grealish does one foul and gets booked immediately.

Taylor is one of the best (worst) at making it appear he's being fair when he's anything but. I have no doubt that it effects the players decision making process.

Taylor is inept or biased, either way he is and never was good enough to be a professional referee. What on earth was going through his head in the first half giving their right back so many chances and warnings. You just knew he wouldnt apply the same rules to our players and he didnt dissapoint.

I’ll never forget the Chelsea game. A truly shocking performance from the Alty fan.

Slightly is a bit of an understatement. Remember Chealsea at home a few seasons ago when Aguero and Fern got sent off?

That was night and day different.

I think he was booked for the reaction not the foul , but even then he could have just given Grealish a ticking off

That was the day I first saw behind the curtain. When Luiz brought down Aguero, he put his whistle to his mouth and his hand to his pocket. I remember Ratboy saying on the commentary "He's in big trouble here."

Our players surrounded Taylor who clearly had something said in his ear. He then bizarrely waved play on.

I've searched the internet for a replay of it but it seems to have been deleted from history.

Edit - You can see the foul here on 2.20. Watch Taylor put his whistle to his mouth and then not blow it.

yes, it was that game where he completely lost any resemblance to impartiality.
