166.87.163.133 - 17-Aug-13 16:44 about  Taylor took charge of the first Premier League game of the 2013-14 EPL season with Arsenal playing Aston Villa. In a shocking game, Taylor made dubious decisions regarding penalties and fouls. Aston Villa racked up more than 10 fouls, yet most players escaped with fouls. However, Arsenal, who suffered through a shocking penalty decision and had fewer fouls, were shown a red card and more yellow cards than Aston Villa. Arsene Wenger was predictably furious with the referee. |
| TRhyne - 17-Aug-13 15:37 about Refereeing is obviously subjective, but if you aren t sure you ask for second opinions. That s why they re there. In the arsenal/villa game to start the 13-14 season mr. Taylor seems to be jumping to conclusions that even his ARs seem to disagree with. I know FIFA and uefa protect referees from accountability and consequence, but watching this guy bumble call after call while his assistant refs desperately try to call him off the ledge (and fail) is like watching the world s longest train wreck. |
