Corruption?

Anthony Taylor is the referee on Sunday. Since we won the title, this will be the sixteenth time he has refereed our game. Eleven of those have been away from home. We will have had 62 aways after Sunday and he will have reffed 11 of them - 18% is a very high percentage of games for one referee.

He will have refereed Liverpool in 16 of his 93 games since 2020 - 17%. It should average at 10%. 

He will have refereed Liverpool away in 11 of his 93 games since 2020 - 12%. It should average at 5%. 

 

 

These have been our opponents in the 11 away games

Man City

Newcastle 

Leicester

Leeds

Man Utd x2 

Chelsea x3

Everton

Brighton

 

Man City, Man United, Chelsea and Everton away are always difficult for us.

Leeds, Leicester, Newcastle and Brighton were/are all having superb seasons when we played them in the games above. 

Newcastle were 3rd when we played them.

Leicester they went 2nd after we played them.

Leeds were 9th after we played them.

Brighton are 3 points off top spot. 

 

The 4 home games that he has refereed us in that time were Spurs,  Chelsea, Wolves (9th) Man City and Brentford (9th). 

Every single game has been against a top 10 team, most of which have been against a top 4 rival.

 

Is this just me being paranoid, enabled by my mistrust of PL officialdom after last weekend, or is it strange that he gets a high proportion of Liverpool games, never gets a Liverpool game against a struggling team and over two-thirds of them are away from Anfield? 

 

For the record, we have won just three (2 v Man Utd), drawn six and lost one of the 10 aways.

We have won four and drawn one of the 5 homes. 

The PGMOL have a hierarchy of referees, whether you think that is right or not doesn't change the fact it is the case. Taylor is in that group of 4 or 5 that will usually get the weekends big game, that list above has plenty of the perceived big games. There will be lads refereeing 15 years that have never reffed a Liverpool  v Utd game because they aren't in the circle of trust.

That is fair enough but in the same period, he has refereed Manchester United just 13 times (7 at home) and 4 of those have been against teams fighting relegation. 

 

The last two games he has refereed Manchester City have been against Nottingham Forest and Everton.

There are loads of suspicious things about the choice of who referees us and how we are treated generally by quite a few of the refs and this Taylor stuff is one of them.  But what can you do when you’re faced with an unchallengeable body who make it up to suit themselves and punish you if you criticize them?

It's absolutely fucking mindblowing how stupid or willfully stupid other fans, players and clubs reactions to this have been. The whole spurs handball in the champions league final which wasn't a contentious decision it  was a handball. It was reviewed and the correct decision was given. It wasn't a case of it being reviewed by 4 people knowing the incorrect decision was given and doing fuck all about it. These same gobshites will lament decisions against themselves because there's nothing more English than complaining about shit but not having the balls or common sense to do anything about it. The English are the prisoners who don't need guards they stop each other from escaping because they are terrified of anything other than the status quo.

Yip , just reading through the comments section in the Athletic filled with comments about the UCL final, Skipp getting kicked in the head , Jotas yellow card deserved because he got away with one earlier . Even some posting about Wolves in the FA cup last season and all completely different issues . Tribalism at its best. Oh and apparently a couple of our lads tried to elbow their players in the head.

A Utd supporting friend cited the Wolves game, asking why Klopp hadn't called for a replay back then, and saying it's only now something has happened to Liverpool that we're speaking out. PGMOL must be pissing themselves that it's so easy to divide and conquer like this.

In the 53 games that he has ever refereed Liverpool in the Premier League, he has given us more yellow cards per game average, than any of his 30 fellow refs.

Comes to something when a manc is fighting our corner

 

[Bobby Hundreds]

He's not even fighting our corner he's just not thick as shit and sees it for what it is and doesn't let his tribalistic instinct turn him into an imbecile.

In fairness I'd imagine that part of the reason that Klopp didn't call for a replay back then was because.....

This is pretty mind-blowing stuff....

 

THERE ACTUALLY WAS A FUCKING REPLAY!

Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-1 Liverpool: Harvey Elliott fires visitors into FA Cup fourth round - BBC Sport

 

It wasn't even an exact replay of the game because they got the added advantage of playing at home!

Haha, quite. I did start typing that out in a reply to him but thought, what's the point? Once it goes tribal and the press start in, nobody's mind is going to get changed.

Thanks and that is how to use VAR

I hope Brentford ask for the audio from that game today because some of the decisions that went against them were unbelievable. Esp in the first half.

I doubt they'd dare risk anything after last week.

That free kick against us in the last second is why we can't let this go. I hope Taylor is hit by a bus.

They're claiming it wasn't a obvious chance as Szoboszlai turned away from goal and didn't have possession. It's bollocks but they'll use anything like that to say why they didn't give it

[Baresi]

If that’s not classed as an obvious goal scoring chance, you need to pick another vocation. It’s just blatant cheating. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

"Clear and obvious" has become a tool for just shaping outcomes according to your bias or will. The inconsistencies throughout football even though theres a fucking team of people getting to watch replays should piss off every fan.

[Scooby Dudek]

The irony after that prick Dean giving it the "we are the only ones that know the rules" only yesterday. Two assistants, a ref and all the experts in VAR not knowing the rules 

[Baltar]

Referees are on City's payroll. It's why they robbed us last week after City's loss and today Kovacic gets just a yellow for a foul worse than Jones'. Absolute joke.
