What that Young handball incident shows , is that Taylor is as shit as the other premier league referees, products of politics not ability.
If they are chosen by the FA to fastrack they are advised which fa to affiliate to and which team to support.

Why is Taylor from Wythenshaw allowed to ref City or Utd? I thought refs couldn’t ref teams where they live? Blatant pen at 0-2.

We had chapter and verse on this from Mike Riley in 2012 when he did a presentation and Q&A to Points of Blue.

Refs can’t officiate teams who they or close family support or other teams where there’s an obvious conflict of interest in that regard. So a Liverpool supporting ref can’t referee them or Everton in theory. And if Liverpool were challenging us for the title, they shouldn’t be refereeing our games either.

They also can’t referee games involving teams affiliated to the same county FA as themselves. So a Lancashire FA ref like Lee Mason can’t officiate in Blackburn or Preston games. He can’t do Bolton anyway as his brothers are season ticket holders there.

They also try to avoid any other potential conflicts of interest.

So Taylor fails the first test as close family members support United, regardless of who he says he supports. He passes the second in theory as he’s affiliated to the Cheshire FA, even though I think he lives in Greater Manchester and certainly originates from the city of Manchester. So that’s extremely dubious. And he fails the third test as it should be clear to anyone that regardless of his football allegiance and affiliation, he shouldn’t be refereeing City & United games.

Riley said all this and talked specifically about Mason, who’d been withdrawn from one of our games. He used him as an example but them someone pointed out to him that he’d just refereed (and did so very controversially) United v QPR. That season of course Bolton were relegated while QPR stayed up and the question was asked as to how that wasn’t a blatant conflict of interest when you had a Bolton-supporting ref officiate a game involving a relegation rival. Riley couldn’t answer so it had either never occurred to him, in which case he’s thick as two short planks, or he knew exactly what he was doing.
 
Ha ha haaaaaa....absolutely hilarious to see thise red muppets singing his name and clapping and crying after coming from 2-0 down to beat relegation candidates newcastle

Thats my point.and i,m not having ago at you mate..i,m trying to emphasise the point that no one knows who is in control of top level football anymore.
It used to be the ref.thats simple.but i read somewhere that now refs are miked up to some central video base where a numbed of ex refs watch all prem games and advise the ref at the match.if thats true,and everyone knows about it...that means decisions are made by folk not even at the stadium on match day.it begs the question who is running the game.i ,m not sure your able to answer that question..maybe your not too bothered.i am. I,d like to know the identity of persons making crucial decisions ....ive asked loads of folk over the past year who does the ref speak to...and got a bizzarre collection of answers. .linesman/4th official/somebody in the ground watching a screen......the point is...i dont know who is running football these days.
I,ll say it again.who did anthony taylor speak to,before changing his mind and not sending off david luiz for his blatant body check on sergio.....?

We may never get the answer to that question . But for me that decision cost us the match.

Your not alone.and your probably spot on.
I can remember watching a utd match years ago..rooney was screaming at the ref..proper going for it..all of a sudden ref says something ..rooney quietens down,asks the refs something back in a civilised manner....play carries on....2nd half ,nearing end of the game rooney throws himself to the floor inside pen area in front of stretford end..ref falls over himself to give a dubious penalty.......
There is a real feel of stage management to prem football and has been for years.some dont see it.i feel it.i see it.
And i still,to this day,dont know why anthony taylor is allowed to ref utd games like yesterday....and...who it was that anthony taylor spoke to in his mouth peice when refffing the City Chelsea game a couple of years back when he should have sent chelsea scum off for a professional foul on Sergio ...he was going to send him off..he ran over to the incident..he reached for his top pocket....then spoke into his mouthpeice.who did you speak to mr taylor?
Who did you speak to,and what changed your mind?.
