I would say that he got most calls right when he actually made a decision.He got the majority right as every ref does, but not the majority of crucial decisions.
I don't blame the ref for missing the foul on Donnarumma but VAR should have seen it. It's pretty appalling that they did not.
They did, they said he'd held his arm, but let go before he jumped, the only replay I saw suggested that was the case, whether it impeded him or not wasn't conclusive.I thought VAR did see it, described it to Alty
The ball went out of play after the 5 minutes were up, he had the right to blow the whistle.Not allowing us to take the corner at the end of the first half was a disgrace. We were on 50.20 seconds in from 5 minutes added time
I'm convinced that Sly and the PiGMOL are in lock-step.Taylor is a rag twat but he's probably got all the big calls right. Don't think it was a foul on donnarumma and that's more of a var issue anyway. The potential handball, I was right infront of it and I was convinced it was a stone wall penalty, after seeing a replay, it's not, its come off his thigh onto his hand, no pen is the correct call.
Not allowing us to take the corner at the end of the first half was a disgrace. We were on 50.20 seconds in from 5 minutes added time, we had 2 noticeable stoppage during that 5 minutes, including the freekick that led to the corner, we should have been allowed to take it.
He'd struggle to see the end of his own nose when City are playing.Tierney on the other hand should have seen it and brought it to Taylor’s attention.
Maybe by var, but Taylor wouldn't have seen it.I'm also convinced the Donnarumma potential foul is given for the home team at Clanfield or the Swamp.
The time it took between giving us the freekick and it going out for a corner was considerably longer than the 20 odd seconds over the allotted added time, we should have been allowed to take it.The ball went out of play after the 5 minutes were up, he had the right to blow the whistle.
Like you I thought he/var got most big decisions correct, of more concern, as is often the case, it's the fouls not given to us, and none fouls given to the opposition, that annoys me most, but we get that every week, and sadly at every level.
Perhaps, I didn't really clock that.The time it took between giving us the freekick and it going out for a corner was considerably longer than the 20 odd seconds over the allotted added time, we should have been allowed to take it.
The handball was looked at by var, everything is whether they announce it or not. Taylor held up the resulting corner until they cleared it and it was ultimately the correct decision.I'm convinced that Sly and the PiGMOL are in lock-step.
The handball just to that which the players appealed for was never replayed by Sky. That leads me to believe it was at least worth a look by VAR, but it was given a though ignoring.
I'm also convinced the Donnarumma potential foul is given for the home team at Clanfield or the Swamp.
I'm with you, cheeky. The question is; when does the good of the game, usurp the laws of the game?I thought VAR did see it, described it to Alty & just like so many decisions with City they make a call “for the good of the game” to blatantly ignore the LOTG.
That little bit of opta detail... sent a shiver down my spine .,This is what I don't get. He was being fouled but his arm was released just before the ball came in. Surely, a foul is a foul?
I looked on the opta stats on 60 minutes and we'd only been awarded 4 free kicks at that point. 1 of those was for offside goal in the 1st minute. You cannot tell me Bournemouth only committed 1 foul every 20 minutes!!!
I wouldn't be surprised if he did though.Maybe by var, but Taylor wouldn't have seen it.
Power.Fucking embarrassment.
I quite enjoy it when referees have overtly shit games because it causes an atmosphere.
But that today was taking the piss. I’m sure not letting us take the corner at the end of the first half was his ego after getting shit from the fans.
We were 'told' VAR looked at it, we don't know they did because they are completely unaccountable. There is no independent auditing of their processes, or scrutiny of the PL's influence upon them. It's absolutely ripe for corruption.The handball was looked at by var, everything is whether they announce it or not. Taylor held up the resulting corner until they cleared it and it was ultimately the correct decision.
He’d booked Foden during injury time, so that should have been an extra 30 seconds to allow the corner.The ball went out of play after the 5 minutes were up, he had the right to blow the whistle.
