Referees’ Performances | 2024/2025

i thought he was generally ok with his decisions bu at times thought he was playing inside left for us, he always seemed to be in the way when the ball was going towards and back from the left wing

The guy was fine today, possibly helped by the fact that both teams tried to make a game of it, rather than just spoiling. Anyway credit where credit is due, to both the referee and Brentford.

So far this season, I would say we haven't had a bad refereeing performance. Which is a little suspicious.

I’d say the same. Refs look like they’re more ‘on it’ this season across the board. We’ve not had a bad performance from one yet.

I wouldn’t have even complained had he sent Kovačić off yesterday, I thought it was a snide foul that was only ever going to hurt their lad, and he only booked him.

We haven't had a bad performance. In general the referees are nowhere near as bad as other fans like to make out. Fans use them as a scapegoat for poor performances.

Much like the Rice incident against Brighton. I think it was the correct decision but even if you think it was soft, the first point of criticism has to be at Rice for getting involved. The referee wasn't ridiculously wrong as was made out.

I think I probably like this idea of VAR not getting involved unless it really has to. Makes me wonder why they can't do that also for offsides, then maybe it will do what we thought it said on the tin.
 
I thought the referee was fine yesterday, nothing controversial. My only gripe being how he got in the way of some of our passing lanes, and Brentfords. I wonder whether being new to the PL and style, he will have to get used to being in different positions, being slightly deeper and not trying to get as close to the play as he wants

Not that bad a foul, did you see the Sheffield United one on the Hull player on Friday?

I didn’t see the Sheff Utd foul Gray but I’ve watched the kovacic fouls back on MOTD and he could easily have been sent off. I’m just glad it was only a yellow.
 
So relieved Alty Taylor went to Bournemouth for the weekend with his pack of yellow cards and not the Etihad to make PL history.

Thus. Did anyone else read the Bournemouth Chelsea 14 yellow card headline and immediately think Anthony Taylor before scanning down to see .... Anthony Taylor? He must be the worst best ref ever.

Caught the trailing leg of Antonio, nowhere near the ball. Antonio might have left his leg there but not shocked to see a booking. It could be deemed cynical trying to stop a break, albeit very far back. I think once you go to ground you leave the referee with a decision to make.

He booked Emerson, Kilman and Rodriguez for similar tackles (cynical nature) if not softer in some cases slightly further up the pitch.

Sorry to disagree with you but giving the referee a decision to make because you’ve gone to ground is utter shite brought into the game by so called pundits. It goes alongside he’s put a hand on your shoulder so you’re entitled to go down, or he dangled a leg so you are entitled to make contact. It’s shit and always will be.

Maybe the terminology isn't great but I wasn't shocked to see De Bruyne booked, he was nowhere near the ball.
 
Oliver v Arsenal, thank god it was not Taylor but he has been stood down this weekend. Just sums up whats wrong with the PL and PGMOL when they dont question his very strange performance but looking into online abuse:

Anthony Taylor will not referee a Premier League game this weekend after receiving abuse on social media following Chelsea's 1-0 win at Bournemouth.

Taylor showed a Premier League record 14 yellow cards to players at Vitality Stadium.

The Premier League has launched an investigation following online abuse directed at the official in the aftermath.

Taylor will act as fourth official this weekend when Southampton host Ipswich on Saturday and Nottingham Forest travel to Brighton on Sunday

Feels like OliVAR gets every game we play the tarquins. I wonder if he will apologise to arsenal by sending kova off this time?

€60,000 fine and 6 match ban for Pep had the ref caught him doing the same tonight.
