Go on I'll bite, which penalty should Jones have given ?

The only penalty that could have been given would have to have been given by VAR, from Jones position you could see why he thought it was a foul by Rico at full speed, only from slow motion can you see otherwise, he didn't get that chance.

He's a shit referee, and he was shit on Saturday, but he doesn't "manipulate the result", that's just conspiracy shit for me. I thought he was poor for both teams.

Being shit manipulates the result. But how would we ever know whether a ref had decided he wasn't gonna give the pen 'cos he didn't want to or because he couldn't distinguish a penal offence from a throw in.

Var was to deliver a series of decisions that better reflected what had gone on during the game rather than the Riley Rag Rigmarole at The Swamp! I think it has managed summat but it is way off delivering what it should.

Taylor has proved time and again that he'll do as he's instructed by his PiGMOL masters. Remember David Luiz in the pre-VAR game at the Etihad, 2016 when he was clearly about to pull the trigger on a red card for DGSO on Aguero?

Taylor touched his earpiece, paused and then waved play-on after presumably someone screamed 'NO' in his ear?

I suspected it would be. We know what to expect. He'll let a lot of rag challenges go and book our players for the first one back.

Attwell on VAR 2 games running doesn't feel right.

Taylor has always been very fair when reffing the Mcr derby.

One of the better refs in general.

Yeah i do
I was referring to the derby games where he seems to be on best behaviour
 
Penalties to the away team in each of Alty fan's previous Etihad derby games - three in total - and none to the home team. What are the odds of another this weekend to maintain his 100% record?

From the MEN today ......


Taylor has yet to officiate a derby at Old Trafford, with his previous three and this one all being on the east or blue side of the city. The most recent was approaching four years ago, in March 2021.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side was awarded a penalty inside two minutes - on that particular occasion - after Taylor adjudged that Gabriel Jesus had fouled Anthony Martial. Bruno Fernandes scored from the spot, while Luke Shaw doubled their advantage early in the second half to secure a 2-0 win

In the previous Taylor-officiated Manchester derby in December 2019, United again opened the scoring with a penalty, overturning the referee's on-field decision not to deem Bernardo Silva's challenge on Marcus Rashford a foul. The felled forward converted the spot-kick and Martial scored a second within six minutes to put the Reds on course to a 2-1 win - with Nicolas Otamendi halving the deficit late on.

City have won a Manchester derby with Taylor in charge - his first one in November 2018 - despite United being awarded a penalty, once again, in that one. The hosts were already 2-0 up when Martial scored that one through goals from David Silva and Sergio Aguero - with Ilkay Gundogan restoring their two-goal advantage four minutes from time.
