Possibly, but he would be aware that that would only bring him under even more scrutiny. He needs to be made to feel worried about having to officiate our games in the future and the match day fans can play a big part in that.

I got a feeling, this petition, and even muttering from the Team, that Taylor brings instant distrust, those muppets might see to keep the heat off him, 

Going forward I think the way to officiate is like Rugby union, miced up so the crowd can hear, concise instruction, and linos who get involved, they get the big calls correct, not like VAR, and the blind c**ts like M.Dean etc…

Need a panel of refs on VAR at each game, and a tennis esque challenge system. 

3 challenges per game. If your challenge gets upheld, you get to keep it. 
 

On this case, if Taylor cheats, we get to challenge and have the corrupt bastards decision reviewed by the panel of refs. with the live discussion and determination broadcast in real time. Media would love it.

The game would last half a day, but the drama and real time transparency would be worth it. 

Imagine having to interview Nigel Pearson. There's always an awkward undercurrent. Guy's as mad as a box of frogs!

You’d be lucky to get through it without having to fight him, a fight he will win. Isn’t that right @Ballack & Blu  

I was just thinking earlier about you and him and that news about NW losing it with Bristol city, he’s going to go out swinging, Fiiiiighting the ref live on Tv, lol

Mike Dean admits fault saying he should have asked Taylor to view the footage on the monitor. He didn't deem it a violent incident at the time but changed his mind now.

Yeah but motherf**ker is it not impeding an opponent like a shirt pull is, it should be a free kick minimum.

VAR does not work like that. It interferes for fouls in build up to goals, offsides, penalty calls and red cards. Not for general free kicks.

Dean had no choice to say this and likely has been forced to given players, managers and ex refs have all said he got it badly wrong.

Where is our apology though?

Yep. Mike Dean didn't want to be the fall guy so he threw Taylor under the bus. 

We all know that Taylor wouldn't give the red card even if he watched it again.

I can't believe how we were f**ked so perfectly with all the technicalities. But still Romero got away with a retro ban so PGMOL reviewed it and said it's not a red card, Mike Dean after discussion with colleagues thinks he should have asked Taylor to review it, he didn't say he thinks it's a red. All points to them not thinking it's a red anyway.

Can't expect a bunch of baldies to have any sympathy for a guy with long flowing hair I suppose.

You can, if he plays for Arsenal or Spurs.

If you need a "discussion" even after seeing the video, you are not fit to be a referee. 

Or alternatively they did exactly what the PGMOL , PL and FA wanted them to do, hence Taylor rewarded with a game on Sunday.

To add to the above, I don't believe Taylor or Dean made a single mistake in the game vs Spurs. They followed what their employer's wanted them to do. 

No of the ex refs or pundits will consider this a possibility, but I see no other option how Taylor can be looking at the the hair slam, and Dean seeing it on the screen, and they are the only two people who thought it was not a red card? 

No not buying that, just like am not buying the Richarlison offside call. They made those calls as it was what their employer wanted before the game.

If that was the case we would experience this more often from other refs. But we seem to encounter these issues much more consistently with Taylor. So either Taylor and Dean have some personal bias, or they are the only refs corrupt enough to follow these instructions from this mysterious person above them. I would say if there really was somebody controlling them it is almost certainly related to betting as so much money is now involved in Sports gambling.

They will say "in hindsight bla bla", i will say "get some eyesight first before talking of hindsight".

Their eyesight was working perfectly, they chose to ignore what they saw.

And this is not just an anti-chelsea thing, am not saying they love the other 19 clubs and only mess with us. Am saying their is an agenda at the top, as Mark Halsey revealed years ago, and in this case it favored Spurs.

Taylor has just made a statement.

He admits he did not give a red card for the hair pulling incident, because he "went in with a gameplan" and wanted to "allow Tottenham to self-destruct" so he could not be blamed by Tottenham for losing the title.

Totally agree. "In hindsight" is maybe something Taylor could get away with, if there was no VAR. But Dean reviewed the replays for minutes and not seconds, not to mention he is highly experienced. If he was still on the fence he could have easily put the onus on Taylor to make the call by asking him to review the screen. But we all know that once it gets that far the decision almost usually ends up getting overruled. So he chose to ignore it to make sure we didn't get the call.

It's just a red. It's amazing how some pundits are confusing the issue. It's a red. All day long. As clear as day. It's as bad as clocking someone in the face or a head butt. 

Same as the offside. It's offside. Richarlison is interfering with play. No question about it. 

Thems the breaks I guess. It's sh*t but just how it is.
