[Albion] Taylor already ignoring new guidelines

[METALMICKY]

It’s the angle he came in at. Most people will go down if you shoulder barge them in that position.

If the players were running on the same trajectory, no penalty but Pervis was hit hard from the side. The West Ham player was not travelling towards the ball, it was a foul all day.

Maybe it's karma. Do you recall Pervis' tackle at home to Bournemouth last season. Ref waived it away and curiously VAR agreed but for me it looked a blatant shoulder charge on the man with no attempt to play the ball.

I also thought the theatrical swan dive today did us no favour

 

[Sheebo]

I saw him wave away several valid claims for fouls (and 2 penalties) by Brighton players but give free kicks each time a West Ham player shielded the ball, waited for contact and dived forward. As you say naive, or bent, and shit. Maybe Moyes is also his mate, along with Dean?

It’s the little timewasting to waste 30 sec tricks they don’t see, aknowledge or seemingly add on for me. Put the free kick or throw in down from the wrong place and act dumb and wait to be told to move 20 yards. Down injured but not bad enough for the physio etc et. - they fall for it every time.

 

[Lethargic]

Consistent reffing .

Who knows who cares, compare the 2 games from last week and this week and just look at the cards and free kicks farcical.

 

[Seagull1989]

The most frustrating part for me was the potential handball penalty. He waved it away instantly then put his finger to his ear straight away .

This just showed that the referees are relying on VAR to referee the game rather than give decisions themselves.

Was it Emerson who went down and spent about a minute banging the turf before getting up when he realised there was no card coming?

There was loads of it off the ball today. It’s so annoying to watch!

Correct

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Terrible performance by Taylor.

Clear handball at the end and trip on Mitoma.

Once again proving VAR is pointless, those were both clear and obvious errors.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

We all agree the current interpretation of handball is shit, but seeing it interpreted differenrlt from game to game is worse.

 

[One Love]

For me it was from quite early on where you felt Taylor was going to give us nothing.

He must be grateful that we gave West Ham three goals so he didn't have to do anything blatant.

We didn’t lose because of the ref. We were Moysed. Exploited the Milner/Webster axis.

I agree but he helped West Ham succeed

 

[jackalbion]

Time wasting not punished with a card. Way too short added on time in first half. Disgrace

About time that useless waste of space just retired.

 

[jackalbion]

Not often I agree with Jose Mourinho but MY GOD, was he right about Anthony Taylor

[butchy]

The frustrating thing with all of this is we of course know that if it’s rashford crossing the ball in at old Trafford and one of our defenders finds themselves in the same position as Coufal then it’s a penalty all day long…..

 

[Icy Gull]

I don’t think the ref was THAT bad but he didn’t give us much, I put our loss down to defensive errors, great defending by West Ham, great finishing by them and a ball that bounced very kindly for them most of the game. Shit happens.

If Taylor had given pens for the tackle on Mitoma and the hand ball I doubt VAR would have overturned it but neither were nailed on errors, more interpretation.

Their goal keeper was their MOM imho

There goal keeper was their MOM imho

That as well!

 

[Justice]

In the second half a West Ham player knocked the ball away before our free kick which in previous 2 weeks of the season yellows have been given for.

Arrron Mooy got sent of at Villa for doing that years ago, the inconsistency in the game is shocking.
Looking forward to seeing some European refs.
