Villan4Life Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Unbelievable he got everything correct ( bar possibly not sending Szczesny off though) Such sore losers, for me he is one of the better refs i have seen recently. http://www.arsenalstation.com/2013/08/19/referee-anthony-taylor-dropped-by-fa-after-arsenal-horror-show/ Sorry its Anthony Taylor, can mods change title for me?

adw95 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I thought he was pretty poor all round, the second penalty is debatable (Shearer showed how it may have been a correct decision on MOTD) but he was giving a lot of free kicks and general decisions blatantly wrong. The worst was Luna's booking. It only seems worse for Arsenal because they lost... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) deservedly so imo. Keeper should have been sent off. Second pen wasn't a pen however from his angle I cant drop him for that alone. Second yellow card to their defender was a bit shit. Vlaar should have got a second yellow too. Luna getting booked? If I was a gunner I would be losing my shit. But hey.. we had that all last season. Edited August 19, 2013 by KSV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Chezny and Vlaar should've been sent off, that's 2 big decisions he got wrong so fair enough to drop him. Got both penalties spot on though and you can see why he sent Koscienly off when he left his arm out to catch Andi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proven to be false from numerous football pundits. yeah but its arguable. When its going that quick and theirs bodies in his way.. its a hard decision. In full motion with how quick Gabby was running and he was caught after the player got the ball.. I thought it was a pen straight away. Its a tough one.

bradarmstrong_ Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Both PK decisions were right. Szczesny and Vlaar should have been sent off, some silly yellow cards as well. I'd say the negatives outweigh the positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was absolutely shite for both teams generally, but I thought he got the BIG decisions right mostly. It was his little decision making that pissed me off.

I thought it was a pen straight away. Its a tough one. He got him through the back, but made it look like he went through the side. Absolutely no sympathy as a PL defender shouldn't be doing such a bloody stupid thing. Same as his 2nd yellow. Unforgivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macca1888 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Mertesacker went in two footed on Benteke, too, just before the Arsenal lad was sent off - they were very lucky they only had one man sent off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) Guarantee the ref wouldn't've been dropped if Arsenal had won (even with the pens and sending off) Correct. I have a chip on my shoulder when it comes to the different standards the rich teams are held to versus the rest of us. edit. There seems to be no actual source for this. So until proven otherwise I am going to put it in the "Arsenal blog makes shit up" category. Edited August 20, 2013 by ciggiesnbeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Guarantee the ref wouldn't've been dropped if Arsenal had won (even with the pens and sending off) Agreed. If everything had been reversed nothing much would've been made of the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyklip Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Where's the source of this information? He's listed as a 4th official for the upcoming games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I thought he was shit before the second penalty, to both sides. Giving yellows out like candy and I think that contributed to the niggle factor. Ref in the Palace vs Spurs used common sense and let a lot of things go to the benefit of the players and the game.

Ponky Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The best decision of the game was yellow carding Wilshere for being a rocket polisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 If he is dropped, I'm still awaiting the fat arse Phil Dowd's life time ban. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 He was awful and lost control of the game in terms of frustrating both sets of players alike. No arguments here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privateer Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) If he is dropped, I'm still awaiting the fat arse Phil Dowd's life time ban. When I read the thread title my first thought was, like several of the guys above, that if we had been on the receiving end of the decisions he wouldn't have been dropped. Hell, he probably would have been lauded as perceptive and brave. My second thought was Fat word removed Dowd. I'd cheerily watch that **** scrote get broken on a wheel.
