It’s the same number now Klopp got sent off on Sunday…
Literally nobody outside of our forum/social media is making the smallest issue out of this.
It seems a way to cope with our defeat better as we were “cheated” out of a potential attack.
Fine, have fun. You will need to grasp that whilst there are LOTG, how referees do and always have interpreted the laws slightly differently.You do realise this is the Referee's Performance thread? As a former referee, I'm interested in how good our top referees are. When I think they have acted outside of the LOTG, I will highlight this.
If I thought we had been cheated, I would be all over the post match thread. I don't, I'm not, but Taylor was wrong and the body of evidence suggests to me that he is a good referee, but inclined to cave in to pressure on the big decisions. I can recall several big decisions going against City, but not one by him in our favour.
Hand ball by Salah not picked up!Why?
It’s even worse when you see it with movement! Where was VARView attachment 58401
How was this not seen?
He got a whack, which is probably why there is no replay. Had it been Foden on Fabinho it would have been on a loop on SSN with the Dipper's calling for retrospective action.Do we know why Foden went down holding his face first half??
Never seen a single replay.

Taylor comes across as being easily swayed. And this goes back, pre VAR to the infamous Chelsea game he reffed.You do realise this is the Referee's Performance thread?

That performance struck me as corruption dressed as incompetence as opposed to him being easily swayed. I remember Ian Cheeseman being absolutely incensed after that match having some pretty choice words about Taylor.Taylor comes across as being easily swayed.

No wonder we accuse him of being a bitter rag twat.
That's why Cheesy was "retired" imo.That performance struck me as corruption dressed as incompetence as opposed to him being easily swayed. I remember Ian Cheeseman being absolutely incensed after that match having some pretty choice words about Taylor.
Yup. That was the first time I realised that the referee on the pitch wasn't solely in charge of the match.That's why Cheesy was "retired" imo.
I'll always remember him holding his earpiece when Luiz took Serge out and waving play on.
Says it all that UEFA thinks PL refs aren't good enough for later tournament games.

Pretty sure he didn't wave play on but produced a yellow card after Luis took out Sergio,denying a clear goal scoring opportunity as our forward bore down on goal.That's why Cheesy was "retired" imo.

No, he didn't even give the foul.Pretty sure he didn't wave play on but produced a yellow card after Luis took out Sergio,denying a clear goal scoring opportunity as our forward bore down on goal.
Taylor was quite a way away from the incident but ran across the pitch with obvious intent with his hand going towards his top pocket...by the time he got near the players he had taken his ear- peice orders ...and produced a yellow.
That set the tone for a very tense, niggly,attrional remainder of the game...and we all now how that ended.
The 1st time I had noticed a ref not in charge of a game.
I was in The South stand level 2 that game and had a clear view of it all.
Yes, can you imagine the outcry if the Ref pulled up a scouse attack(not on our bus) to send Pep offMaybe Pep should get in the linesmans ear big time if we're ever caught short at the back........rather like Fernandinho doing a professional foul. Much better to have the manager sit in the stands for a game as opposed to going down to ten men and a subsequent three match ban. Just saying.
Spat me brew out……you got any more? I’m still pissed off about SundayYes, can you imagine the outcry if the Ref pulled up a scouse attack(not on our bus) to send Pep off
It’s how I deal with it , cheated out of a wonder goal in Copenhagen by a very iffy VAR decision and and even worse one at Anfield coupled with a VAR exempt basketball assist for their goal.It’s the same number now Klopp got sent off on Sunday…

The authorities also ignored Luiz dragging his studs down the back of Aguero's calf at a corner later in the game.Pretty sure he didn't wave play on but produced a yellow card after Luis took out Sergio,denying a clear goal scoring opportunity as our forward bore down on goal.
