Absolutely disgusting, Mendy and Henderson both wanted to boot the ball and Mendy got there first, he held his hands up afterwards whilst all the Liverpool players were shoving him around which led to Rudiger stepping in to defend him. If you have to charge someone both teams should get it.

I think the part that people do tend to forget about the incident was originally Taylor actually waved play on. I don't mind the fact VAR told him to review it. What I don't like is the fact VAR most likely told him what to do, how could he decide that quickly and just from one still if VAR hadn't already made their mind up based off the footage.

Realistically VAR watched the full clip back multiple times and deemed it to be a red and a penalty. As much as I dislike Taylor I think VAR take just as much of the rep for this one.

No no, one rule for Chelsea, different rules for the rest, like being able to commit a foul that could break an opponents leg and still be allowed to score a goal, right Pogba? Or how you can cause a mass confrontation and get the other player booked and club fined, right Henderson?

Sorry was that too scouseish?

I hate Taylor, but he had no choice on this occasion, handball stopping a goal is a straight red. Intentional or not unfortunately. Double jeopardy is only applied when its a genuine attempt to play the ball. Rule probably needs looking at.

That’s victim shaming!

Man f**k the FA f**k the premier league and especially f**k that bald twat anthony taylor

Only two charges?  They're too kind.  One should remind the FA that the officials are tasked with keeping the game under control, and if their inability to do so consistently results in some disorder....perhaps they too should be on the docket for misconduct.

Genuine question: how much are PL match officials paid?

Guess that depends on whether you mean their salary or the bribes people like Taylor likely take?

About £1500 per match some are contracted for a certain amount others not.

No, it is not given the changes to the handball rule introduced this season.

Quote

Law 12 – Fouls and Misconduct

• Handball:
  • Not every contact of the ball with the hand/arm is an offence
  • A player’s hand/arm position should be judged in relation to their body movement in that 
    particular situation

Taylor did not judge the body movement in the VAR revision, the ball came off his thigh and hit his arm, the swing of the arm did not contact the ball afterwards, and he did not make himself bigger as he had the arm white close to his body. Taylor did not review the whole play, and that is baffling as he has to judge the whole position of James' body.

Seems we get what is paid for. That’s not much.

Apparently Anthony Taylor reffed Dynamo Kiev - Benfica tonight and tried to send off a Dynamo player for a second bookable offence after he'd only received a single yellow card...

I’m beginning to believe he has no Chelsea bias and is actually just horrendously sh*te at his job.

I don't know how they flew all the teams over to Manchester to play the match, cos the fcker only ever seems to ref matches at the end of his fking road. Seems to be in the middle for every Manc game from what I see

Not sure whether the best part is the titlular f**k-up, or the obvious foul he missed in the build-up to it:

 

How is this bloke still a ref? He's inept and not even good enough to be a ref in a Sunday pub league.

 

Is it a surprise the nation's league final has a controversial winner that screws Chelsea players and this bumb was reffing the game? How does he get matches of such magnitude he is awful.

Tbf it was the VAR team that made the decision. What sense does it make that the defender touched it to rule it onside? If Mbappe wasn't there then there is no pass and no interception, he was offside and affected the play.

We should make a note - however much we paid him before the Brentford game was the correct amount.

He was very generous towards us today. 

Maybe a case of TTs pre match comments working a treat? The corrupt Taylor was lenient on us today.

How many times do we have to get the bald twat in a season? Apparently he has been given our match against ManU on Sunday.

11 refs haven’t had Chelsea this season including Mike Dean & Chris Kavanagh (Manchester FA Ref). Paul Tierney has had 4 out of 12 matches in the league. Anthony Taylor has had 2 so far. #cfc

Surprise surprise the Man United supporting tw@t gets out game against them AGAIN!

Just in case anyone is tempted to go too far down the conspiracy rabbit hole... (It is probably also worth noting that he has refereed two Brighton, Man Utd and Liverpool games as well).
