Can't wait to see Howard Webb appear on Sky Sports on Monday night...

hope youll have a 50 cal sniper rifle on you

Good process. Good process

At best, it's incompetency. These kinds of things can't be happening at this level.

I watched a stream from the US. Dixon was convinced Taylor told the keeper to go down to bail him out of a mistake

[Eeyore]

I missed the game and only saw that clip posted by Rob above. So, the keeper has not been fouled, and it is NOT a free kick? But he throws the ball down because he thinks a free kick has been awarded but is incorrect?

If that's the case then Gakpo would be entitled to score there. What am I missing?

Taylor blows his whistle and ends play before Gakpo can score.

Yeah I saw that. That's what it looked like to me too. You wouldn't hear any of them on Sky suggest that.

Same. It was shocking

Referee Antony Taylor does not blow his whistle / signal to stop play until Gakpo reaches the ball...


Ref Antony Taylor denies Gakpo chance on 86' (ref pretends he gave a freekick prior to gk... for something?) - https://v.redd.it/bbkg1m47x0xc1 & https://streamin.one/v/f1a6098d

It would seem from this video - that Taylor may have told the West Ham goalie to go down / get on the floor? And it is Taylor himself who then calls the physio onto the pitch:-

(around 44 second in; though the actual VAR-referee micced audio would be welcome... to clear up and clarify any further issues )

Even Areola looked completely confused with it all, gotta push on this but we'll probably do fuck all and what even is the point i suppose, they answer to no one. We even got the blame for one of our players being assaulted by an official!

[paisley1977]

It doesn't normally happen only when we are playing and especially when we have a manc referee.
But the apologists on here won't have it.

Not when it keeps happening

you would think things like that would be investigated but nah

[Lee1-6Liv]

Yet again another referee "mistake" costs us a goal and points. Not to mind we should have been playing against ten men for most of the match.

[rob1966]

Wanted Areola to help him not make a tit of himself.

You could see Taylor telling the keeper to go down and him looking bemused.

[stoa]

Good process. Good process

It really is. The "kid's mistake"-rule was only invented a few weeks ago and it has already been implemented by PGMOL. That's some quick working...

[kennedy81]

Don't think I've ever seen a ref decide to call the physios on. It's like he's telling Ariola he's injured. All to cover up for his own mistake.

[Nick110581]

That tackle on Mac is not good.

[darragh85]

amazing how inexplainable stuff like this always happens against us.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Can't wait to see Howard Webb appear on Sky Sports on Monday night...

Yorkie is compiling his sarcastic 'You're all knobheads speech now'

Just another 'mistake' that co-incidentally goes against us like Taylor and the Chelsea handball, the Arsenal basketball hands, the Spurs disallowed goal, Jota being sent off for not touching his man, Jones for winning the ball and bouncing off it - something that's happened twenty times since - also the foul on Mac today, the Gravenberch one in the Cup Final, the disallowed goal in the same cup final, Mac getting booted in the chest v City.

I'd list all the time in total we've been fucked up the arse by PGMOL, but it would honestly take too long.

All 'honest mistakes' though - just silly to expect 'mistakes' would sometimes go for us - no, against all the odds, every one fucks us.

[Draex]

That tackle on Mac is not good.

Jones got a red card for the same tackle, we've not seen one since, pisses me right off that.

[rob1966]

Yep. The Odegaard handball I don't count as we scored straight after, Spurs we'd have gone 1 up but you can't predict the outcome, but ADFC if we score the pen we win the game and today at 2-3 we win that.

[JRed]

The keeper just had a brain fart, that is no fucking reason for the manc to blow his whistle. I honestly just cannot take anymore of these officials. I’m done with this corrupt game of football.

[Eeyore]

Areola tells him he is fine and then Taylor physically blocks him from taking the goal kick twice. Unfucking real.

["Bobber" Thanks :)]

I do think the PGMOL nobbled any chance we had of the title. Right from early on, things happened that prevented us from getting any kind of lead or grip even before the Spurs game, there were really strange decisions that have only been applied to us.

It’s no surprise the players and Klopp eventually run out of energy, they must see what is obvious to us all. Even though we were shit against Everton, they were being reffed far differently to us.

[stoa]

That makes it even crazier, because Taylor is actively wasting our time by ASKING for the physio to come on. They don't even do that for head injuries and quite often it takes them a few seconds to give the signal for the physio to be allowed onto the pitch. It's absolutely insane. What's even worse is that it won't have any consequences.

[Eeyore]

Yes and No.

Odegaard would almost certainly have been booked though for a deliberate handball. He is a volatile little prick with a penchant for telling the Ref to fuck off. He would have been walking a tightrope for the rest of the game. Conceding a penalty would have been a different scenario and atmosphere as well. We could easily have scored a second goal.

[JRed]

Does anyone know where Taylor lives? I want to put a bedsheet on his neighbours fence.
That today is 100% conclusive proof that these fuckers are cheating!

Ped's spare room.

[HomesickRed]

I guarantee, if Gakpo puts that in the net, we get it with both barrels from all sides for being 'unsportsmanlike'.
We can't win.

[Eeyore]

Fernandes in the Cup game was already on a booking when he caught Szobo when he shooting.



That was a straight red that wasn't even given as a 2nd yellow.

[Crosby Nick]

Ped's spare room.

In Manchester or the place he has in Abu Dhabi for his couple of days a year consultancy?

[darragh85]

all the dummy banter loving c*nts delighted with whats going on too.

Dumb fucking bastards that follow football nowadays. I hope the whole sports falls apart soon,

Then you get that C*nt Martin Atkinson just giving us Manc Refs every week.

We've had Taylor 3 times in our last 8 games, plus Coote Tierney, kavanagh (twice) in those 9 games.

34 Refs in the PL.

It started with game 1 of the season.

Mancunian Antony Taylor didn't give the very, very obvious penalty for the handball.

Consultancy=where him and Martin Samuel are getting pegged and shit on by brasses.

[Adeemo]

"Playing advantage" is now the reason..Gaslighting c*nts

If he played the advantage and then said it didn’t occur, the play would have restarted with a free kick after he stopped Gakpo scoring. He didn’t, he stopped Gakpo scoring for a non existent injury, that he created to save his and the keepers blushes. It’s a major error and possible cheating and Taylor should be investigated.

[Jm55]

‘Could well have’ isn’t the guaranteed 3 points that people make it out to be though.

It was a fucking stupid decision and they deserve both barrels for it, it’s a denial of an opportunity to us and we’ve every right to be annoyed by it but it always irks me when people add up imaginary points based on hypotheticals - the valid point is that a fucking stupid mistake has led to a loss of an opportunity , not that of the mistake had not been made that we’d definitely have won.

Even the Doku one would have meant Mac Allister would have had to actually score it which is far from a given in that kind of envroonment, although obviously you’d back him to do so.

[Samie]

Hello Arne, you bald bastard. You've been among us for years. 

[garumn]

This is what happens in every institution led by a small number of people accountable to no one.

It is match-fixing.

Imagine if you had a bet on that game. If a sportsman did that you would be looking at betting patterns. Taylor does it and it is barely worth mentioning.
