Referees' Performances | 2025/26

I'm normally in the stand for home games, noy today, and I can't stand Taylor, but I thought he got most things right apart from a couple of fouls he didn't give us. Had I been there today, I'd have probably been the same as the crowd.

Their goal, it is a foul but he let Dona's arm go before the ball came in, and there was no way he could see it anyway. VAR advised him exactly what happened.

The foulon NOR was a foul, and would be a straight red if given, he bottled that decision, but he would most likely have had it over turned due to offside by NOR, though we never got a replay of that.

He was shit second half, because he stopped doing anything for either side.

We've had worse injustices from him.

No he didn’t, he let go of his arm as the ball was coming in, preventing Donna from getting into the correct position. Nailed on foul

I’ve looked at the video several times and I’m sure Gigi is still being held when the corner came in. Anyway, it was a good win and Taylor was hopeless

Ps you can also tell from where Dias is looking that the ball is in the air

I'm not disputing the ball had been kicked, but by the time it got near donna he was free of interference. This sort of thing always provokes discussion, some think keepers are over protected, others think they should get more protection. It's a subjective call at the end of the day. The way I look at things is would I be pissed if roles were reversed? ie our goal disallowed for that "foul". In this case you bet I would

I've just watched both incidents again on ref watch. The non penalty was correct, it hit his leg first, very lucky for the player but by the rules of the game it's not going to be given.
On the Donnarumma 'foul' it's subjective. I don't like Taylor but I can see why he didn't give it and thought Donnarumma was being soft. However, if you watch it closely that slight touch alters his jump, putting him off balance which is why he did a weak punch resulting in the goal.

agreed, but you'd be pissed if we had a goal disallowed for that wouldn't you?

What about the O’Reilly foul in the first half, has anybody got a video/picture of that? The bald headed twat just waved play on.

The ball 100% was in the air and this exact moment circled prevented Donna from Making a fairly straight forward two handed catch. Yet another fail from VAR
 
Can't make my mind up about the Bournemouth goal but seeing as VAR didn't seem it a foul we missed a trick not detailing someone to do the same to their keeper every time we had a corner.

Twice this season we've not been able to take a corner for HT....I've yet to see it happen in any other UK game this season.

So that's twice this season we've not been able to take corners that would have hit the first man and then led to the opposition launching a counter attack.

Whilst Alty was awful yesterday, if he's trying to hinder us then then there are much better ways of doing so than stopping us from taking another dreadful corner.

The Bmouth goal was up to VAR not Taylor. Nobody in the ground saw the pull on Donnarumma, so no complaints on the ref also not seeing it because he could have been looking at another bit if a grapple so Donnarumma may not even have been in his eyeshot.
But VAR should be picking that up… if the ball was in play (it’s not a foul before then unless it’s violent conduct) it should have been disallowed by VAR or Taylor asked to go to the screen.

Hooper missed the same thing in the United v Arsenal game earlier this season and VAR didn’t deem it a foul… same sort of pull on the Rag keeper by Saliba. I did say at the time though, while it could easily have been a foul, the Rag keeper needed to be stronger. Donnarumma also has to be stronger there n’all I think it was quite poor by Donnarumma. You see players win headers with defenders pretty much piggy-backing them with 15 stone in weight barely affecting them reaching the ball, that little pull on Donnarumma wasn’t much.

The handball isn’t handball under current interpretations. It his his leg, then his hand. That’s not handball.

The only things I was annoyed at with Taylor yesterday was a foul on Foden when he waved play on but we ended up back at near our box with possession when the foul was not far from the Bmouth box (how’s that advantage?), and the corner at the end of the first half… it was only 14 seconds after the minimum of 5 minutes added time and there were stoppages within the 5 minutes to easily allow us to take a corner.

It’s his job to see their forwards putting our keeper in an armlock. He should be concentrating on that above all else.

It’s nout to do with being strong, an 8 stone woman who knows what she’s doing could put you in an armlock and your balance and therefore your movement and the timing of that movement is thrown out of kilter

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.

At normal speed, I thought it was poor keeping, having seen one replay, I thought he was impeded, but I'd have been fuming if we'd had that goal disallowed.

It came from a corner so we wouldn't have scored it.

In Europe and in next years World Cup it is disallowed.

But in PL, fuelled by thick pundits chanting "Keepers must be stronger"
Refereeing is different.
The result is a scrum at every corner, manufactured by our very own piGMOl

So a foul then...

Yes it affects his trajectory mid air as he jumps which is enough to make him flap at the punch. As I said it's subjective. In real time I can see why Taylor thought there wasn't much in it but in slow motion you can see it. As var left it there the onfield decision we were fucked.
 
The whether it was or wasnt a foul is quite simple to sort out both foden and a bournemouth player briefly grabbed a players arm which stopped them getting to the ball correctly, both were given as a foul and both players booked, just because this happened in the box to the gk doesnt make it any different of an offence.

Amazing how that 18x44 yd rectangle alters the threshold for what constitutes a fouls, huh? And how it's differs between teams...

I'd like to think we do things a little differently to that lot, we've proven that we don't need to join them to beat them so I hope we don't ever stoop to their levels. I just want impartiality, I don't want us turning into cunts in order to get it.

We do things differently yep as telling the referee boss web! Problem that is that won’t upset him or referees if you keep it quiet you got to let the world know that they are cheating cunts by calling it out in the media Everytime these things happen! It proves what we been doing last 10 years is laughed at by the referees and they carry on refereeing us totally different to any other home team!

The next time the opposition have a throw in all the City players should grab hold of an opponent and not let them go until the ball has left the throwers hand. Let's see if the ref is as lenient as they are at corners.
