So Anthony Taylor who grew up in an environment in which both at home and at school there was a hatred of scousers is going to turn up at Old Trafford hear all the anti Liverpool chanting, the poverty chanting and chants about Hillsborough and remain impartial.
He isn't going to think imagine the stick I will get day in day out of these knuckle draggers. Imagine what it will be like dropping the kids of at achool, going the shops or going the pub if I give a controversial decision in Liverpool’s favour.
He shouldn't be put in that position. When Mike Dean who doesn't support either Liverpool or Everton was selected for the 2006 Cup final he was pulled because they didn't want a referee from the same locality as one of the teams.
This was the statement. "We have complete faith in Mike Dean's refereeing ability, integrity and impartiality. However, given the huge interest in all aspects of the FA Cup final, the fact that he is from the Wirral might lead to comment and debate which would place him under undue additional pressure.
"The decision has been taken with the best interests of Mike Dean and the competition in mind. At the age of 37, Mike Dean is still young enough to referee a future FA Cup final."
So can someone please explain the difference.?
