Top ref performance. Could quibble with couple decisions but very very good overall

Taylor had a really good performance today, Credit were it's due.

This is the issue for me…. Blues thinking we did ok with the ref. Despite an atrocious performance…

When was the last time 10% of us thought we got away with one (NEVER). The law of averages says thats impossible, but here we are again…

Isn't the newish rule that if the referee plays advantage, he can't go back and card the player or something along those lines? Or am I talking out of my ass?

Can't go back and book for a foul deemed as Stopping a Promising Attack, e.g. a pull-back where the attack isn't stopped.

Can go back and book for other reasons (e.g. reckless tackles).

You can't play advantage and then issue a red, a yellow can still be shown.

Neither of those things are true. A referee can play advantage and then go back and show either card.

You’ll very rarely, if ever, see it with a red card though, as it’s strongly discouraged.

That makes sense. Thanks. Caicedo should have definitely been booked in that case.

You are not Richard Masters and I claim my free late challenge through the back of my legs waived away by Taylor!

Quite - for red cards, very strong advice is that you stop immediately to prevent the chance of the offending player scoring before play or similar significant action is stopped.

I think the example I saw is the ball rolling towards the goalline and a 100% goal would justify not stopping play.

There was a couple of those Fofana in particular, Caicedo should have been booked for the foul on KDB in the first half.

It's alot better than what we are used to seen in the past, We had a couple of tactical fouls on Chelsea players gone unpunished too (not as many).

Overall I thought he done really well.
