These changes are always welcome until Rags 'n Dippers are on the shitty end and then they are abandoned with such alacrity you ever wondered whether we had them in the first place.

Can anyone imagine Dinho after committing his 7th foul being given a warning in front of his captain?

I think he was booked for the reaction not the foul , but even then he could have just given Grealish a ticking off
He booked one from each side, I thought it was for the afters too.

Jack was booked for his offence meanwhile the multiple offender won MoM
murphy on talkshite just now said he had great game set the tone by kicking both sterling and grealish which showed a mature performace and not phased by big players wowThat was for his 'tactical foul' masterclass.

4th, I think - that it was inside 35 minutes was the remarkable point, and it looked like he had already been warned.
I think Taylor is a good referee generally. But I do think he has a bias against us.
A 50:50 challenge never goes our way. It has to be very obviously balanced in our favour for us to get a close call.
Penalties for us are very rare. Penalties against us can be given for pretty innocuous challenges. We need to be careful in this area.
He rarely misses an opportunity to issue a caution against one of ours, even for minor infringements. Nobody can argue that Grealish was unfairly cautioned yesterday, but he just wouldn't operate to that same strict standard if Fernandez or Maguire or Pogba gave the same reaction. Accumulated cautions result in a suspension, and Taylor is well aware that he is contributing to the long term effect. Witness their player getting a final warning after umpteen fouls yesterday. That just wouldn't happen with one of ours.
I think he is more even handed when dealing with non-Manchester teams, but there is always that suspicion that he will do whatever he can in order to bring (directly or indirectly) a benefit to United. And he is clever enough, or good enough for it to be indecipherable to the casual observer.

Thought the only thing Taylor got wrong yesterday was not booking Tanganga and the associated strangeness of calling Lloris over for the next foul after his final warning just to give him his final, final warning. Grealish booking was deserved. Got nowhere near the ball and would have taken Moura out if he hadn't jumped over the slide. Yellow all day in today's game.

I don't recall seeing live feed of the VAR HQ measuring the offside line in real-time. Now we only get a screenshot like in UEFA competitions and less transparency as a result especially with the new 'thicker' line is level rule change.

Taylor failed to book Tanganga 4 TIMES, but he didn't fail to book Grealish for his FIRST offence.*takes off blue-tinted glasses*

Whatever his actual biases, it is amazing that someone born & raised in Manchester, regularly referees our (and Utd's) big games. And we certainly have a statistically poor record in games where he's been in charge.Can't understand why we don't "out" this crook for what he is
He should never be anywhere near the M/c / Trafford clubs games
I know the FA say Wythenshawe isn't in Manchester, but that is splitting hairs ... even Wythenshawe's own Wikipedia page says it is.
