Crazy that it hasn’t happened in so long, especially with what you can lipread and know is being said. If referees were much stricter on dissent at the top level it would have a huge benefit at all levels of the game. It would be tough for a few weeks with probably a lot of red cards, but teams and players would soon adapt.
Didn’t Webb literally just say this should happen more? Not reds, but punishments for going after the referee? Maybe this referee listened.
Didn’t they change the rules for this season? There’s been loads of yellows for talking back at refs. I double checked they did.
Wait it was a straight red? Was it given by VAR then? Taylor definitely held up a yellow first
But so braindead by Dunk wtf are you doing dude
Oh just fuck off. He’s a professional trying to do a very hard job, where no matter what he does he’s gonna cop a load of abuse from whatever group of fans/players his decisions go against.
People like you moan that refs are shit, yet are happy to abuse them, without realising that the ridiculous level of abuse directed at refs is a huge reason why refs aren’t better.
I swear it was 2 yellows
No one posted it here yesterday for some reason
Imagine that, the clubs with more supporters get more upvotes on posts pertaining to them. The injustice!
It means he will now face a three-match ban rather than one and the Mail reports his language towards referee Anthony Taylor was ‘personally abusive’
Personally abusive? I’m guessing he was asking if a hair pull is a red card offence? Or if he’s certain that he should be awarding a penalty, considering the one he gave for Newcastle against Wolves was a complete error. Or if he’s come to terms with the fact he will never be given a European final again following last season’s Europa Conference final.
To be honest, Taylor is one of the worst refs in the league. He would probably take personal offence to Dunk asking him if he was sure, considering how arrogant and clueless he seems to be half the time. I look forward to him being fucked off to the championship for another week.
