Ref Watch

He was in the way a lot of the time, and not giving a free kick at the end was a disgrace

 

[Gordyola]

The player committed enough fouls to be double yellow carded at least twice.

You can bet we aren't afforded the same level of lenience next week.

Jack was booked for his offence meanwhile the multiple offender won MoM

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

And then Grealish does one foul and gets booked immediately.

I think it was the Jack's reaction of Moura choosing to fall over Jack's legs instead of a using a little bit of athleticism and rising nine inches into the air and jumping over them. Mind, at least the whistling wanker booked Sanchez for his gobby interjection. I remember Taylor reffing the CFC game where he sent off two of ours and allowed two CFC players to remain on - one of whom threw Aguero to the ground and another, Fabregarse, I think, smacked Ferny on the face. Perhaps Taylor saw the lot yesterday and realised that VAR would have picked it up and he couldn't ignore it this time.

That was for his 'tactical foul' masterclass.

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.

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

Sideshow Bob felled Aguero when he was clean through. He was last man and should have seen red as I've no doubt Sergio would have scored. Either Taylor bottled it, or he was under orders (my money is on the latter). To be fair Serg deserved his sending off I'm only pissed off he didn't kick him harder.

Sergio Aguero tackle on David Luiz sparked the Battle of the Etihad - but it wasn't the first time the Manchester City has gone in hard on the Chelsea defender (thesun.co.uk)

The headline from the sun is a bit disingenuous as the game was brought to boiling point by Taylor's blatantly obvious one-sided refereeing not Aguero's tackle on Luiz.

I've never seen such a discraceful application of the LotG as the whistling wanker manufactured that day, although I did see the back end of a Euro game where one of the teams would have lynched him had there been a rope handy.

Its alright them talking on Sky about these great new rules that all contact isn't a foul and they're going to let the game flow, but how consistent will this be applied throughout the season.
I've a feeling Raheem is going to get a rough ride from refs now

That game still niggles me to this day. Something was most definitely off about the way the game was officiated. I have my suspicions that the outcome of that game was expected to go a certain way and had been decided before KO. Would love to see a detailed analysis of the global betting markets before/during that match.

They have basically made it MORE subjective and open to corruption. Same with the 'thicker' lines for offside.
