BREAKING NEWS!

Unsatisfied with shafting the Premier League Champions on numerous occasions throughout Chelsea's 2-2 home draw against West Brom, including failing to send off the same man twice; referee Anthony Taylor has decided to rub salt into the wounds by reporting both teams to the FA for their conduct during his overt failure to actually referee.

The FA statement read:

"The charge relates to an incident which occurred in or around the 58th minute of their fixture on Wednesday January 13th 2016.

Both clubs have until 6pm on 20th January 2016 to respond to the charge."

Owner Roman Abramovic has reportedly been seen by media sources with a balding counterpart running towards FA headquarters with a Kalashnikov assault rifle and 3 large crates of celery shouting "C'mon Vlad lets get the bar stewards."

More as it happens....

And we will probably be fined more than brom

Bet the referee isn't dropped next week though.

No surprise, I knew this would happen, too many players around the ref, both teams guilty.

 

But yet again the attention is not on the referees performance, or lack of it in this case.

Nothing new to see here. Move on people.

Football is just disgustingly soft nowadays.

Nice way of deflecting from an inadequate performance by the referee. The standard has slowly declined in the last decade whereby its now difficult to find a consistently good one. Oh for another David Elleray or maybe not!

Hiddink felt Yacob should have been dismissed and was so frustrated with the performance of referee Anthony Taylor that he expressed his concerns to fourth official Jon Moss. He was taken aback by the reply.

"I told him: 'This is one of the worst referees of the Premier League I have experienced,'" said Hiddink, who had a prior caretaker spell at Chelsea in 2009.

"He said to me 'you haven't seen me yet', which was a beautiful remark I think."

I was just about to post that, evissy. Fair play to Jon Moss!

He was a lot worse than inadequate in my opinion. To charge us is really taking the pi55. Taylor was absolutely woeful and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a match until he's been retrained and re-assessed quite frankly.

Now we can see it wasn't just Jose gobbing off that resulted in pathetically below par officiating, cant wait 

for the FA cup to trial more technology next season so the likes of ATget key decisions correct, too much at stake 

in the modern game, charging both clubs is just taking the mickey, 

He's got some f**king nerve!

 

One of the most inept performances from a referee I have seen in a good few years, inexcusably poor, it's not like they were tough calls he got wrong... he just had no control on the game from stat to finish and failed to make the most straight forward of correct calls. 

 

f**king berk. 

I wonder if we can charge the FA with incompetence.

Nothing new to see here. Move on people.

 

 

You're getting very bossy, les!!  

F*ck the FA, they are corrupt and they've damaged the Premier League beyond repair and they've managed to make it so soft that it's laughable, their goal is make this a non contact sport, with zero emotions, clowns of the highest order. In fact, I'm seriously considering not watching the premier league next season, only Chelsea games, I'm completely done with the FA, the brain dead officials and the stupid, biased punditry.

Aside from the obvious source of income, I don't understand this obsession they have with fines, be it for Chelsea or any other team. If there was a mass brawl or Costa had whipped out a machete then perhaps further punishment might be necessary. With so many ex-pros (I assume) within the organisation surely they know what its like to feel aggrieved in a close run game? 

So now we get punished for some handbags...the fa do know Jose is t in charge of us any more right? Perhaps they should take a closer look at that hapless ref, whose inept handling of the game was main cause both sides got a bit niggly

You're getting very bossy, les!!

Nope ma'am, just a joke.

The more I think about this the more annoyed I get.  The ref completely bottled it in that game, he was quite clearly shirking his responsibilities and was afraid to take control and make decisions. To then later report the clubs for failing to control their players is plain hypocritical and cowardly.

 

The FA need only look at the video of the game to see just how useless he was then drop the charges against the clubs and apologise for supplying such a weak lilly livered official. Of course that will never happen.

 

Whilst on the subject of that match, MoTD that night were determined to once again drag Costa's name into the dirt for some reason. Nothing changes eh ?

Taylor refereed the Sheffield Wednesday v Leeds game yesterday and according to reports I heard on the radio he had another stinker. The decision to disallow a Leeds goal was probably the most contentious.

Martinez not though, don't properly understand their reasoning, he was pretty brutal?

The decision to disallow a Leeds goal

 

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me!

Martinez not though, don't properly understand their reasoning, he was pretty brutal?

Is that official ? If so double standards doesn't even begin to describe it.  Diabolical even.

 

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me!

Don't get me wrong PloKoon, I'm more than happy to see any goal that vile mob score disallowed !

Its official on SS website, they come out with some mealy mouthed excuse, probably because they know their ref cocked up!!
