Referee for Arsenal

[I am Irrefutable]

The Altrincham fan.

Anthony Taylor

FFS

 

[blueinsa]

To be fair, the rags might need us to get beat so its a logical appointment............

 

[PragueBlue]

I don't rate many of them but he really is the worst of them all.

 

[bobmcfc]

Is altrincham code for rag ?

 

[KingCarlito]

Oh dear

 

[meeesh]

Not great that is it really

 

[manimanc]

Let's be honest they're all shite and don't read from the same hymn sheet do they!!

Have you been living on Mars for the last 2 years?!

The answer's 'yes' of course. Taylor was a regular at the Swamp as a kid and his family are all card carrying rags from Wythenshawe. However, by shamelessly passing himself off as an Altrincham fan he is affiliated to the Cheshire FA and is thus eligible to referee both City AND United, who are both Lancashire FA clubs. It is an absolute disgrace that this fucking red wanker is being allowed to take charge of a game that is crucial to both us and them for the same reason, and for the umpteenth time why City do not make a very public fuss about it is beyond my comprehension. He will give us absolutely nothing, just as he always does

Unbelievable a refferee born in Wythenshaw Manchester in charge of a City game.

Doesn't seem to be doing them many favours

It's more subtle than that. It's playing nearly 6 minutes of injury time when the rags were losing at Bournemouth, it's awarding City a free kick rather than a penalty when Zabaleta was tripped right on the line of the area, it's awarding Leicester a goal kick when Schmeichel clearly saved a Silva cross shot, etc etc.....

I'm not doubting what you've said as I've heard similar from others but can it be proved that he was a regular at the swamp as a kid?

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I hope he bends over as far backwards as he did for EFC upto the winning goal. How many times have we had this buffoon? Seems to be more than a fair average! Is it because he's 'local' that we get him?

Yes, it's no secret. Taylor has said it himself

 

[Jamoid]

I was expecting Clattenwig

 

[Rolee]

If that's on record then there's nothing better than a social media campaign to get something done about it.

The club can't be seen to be publically questioning the integrity of a ref but there's nothing stopping us.

 

[manchester blue]

Well he gave a penalty against United that most Everton fans didn't think was one at Wembley. I'm staggered he's allowed to
referee City or United from where he's from and lives.

He went to Alty Grammar in the same year as my mate and he's said to me a few times that Taylor was genuinely an Alty fan at school. Another mate of mine (Chrissy Adams) used to play for Alty and Taylor went to speak to him when he saw him one day and was keen to see how he was and who he was playing for. I think he genuinely is an Alty fan.

It's not on record.

Our record is fairly good under him isn't it?

They are all wankers
