Taylor alleged that Hobbs passed by him as he was leaving the field and remarked: "Absolutely f**** useless as usual."
The referee then outlined to Hobbs that his attitude and behaviour were unacceptable to which he, and assistant referees Adam Nunn and Gary Beswick, allege Hobbs replied: "We look forward to your apology again."

That's now two people - Matt Hobbs and Lewis Dunk - who have been suspended for insulting Anthony Taylor over his officiating. Wonder who will be next
In the span of 48 hours, averaging 1 per day.
Honestly the more the merrier.
At some point FA has to do something about the standard of reffing.
Mourinho didn't like his reffing in the Europa League final last year. I think he made that quite clear by waiting for him in the car park after the game
Which was particularly bananas, since Taylor didn't get anything wrong that night, and lead to his family being attacked in an airport, because apparently blowing a whistle is now a crime worthy of being lynched.

Honestly, I get it, as an adult we shouldn't lose control over our emotions and insult others. But fucking come on. They have the technology, they can literally watch from multiple angles, multiple speeds, and they still get it wrong. Apologies don't solve the issue and the incompetence is never punished. If the PGMOL want to stop the insults then fix it already.
I think it’s completely justified to be frustrated if something like this happens time and time again with no signs of improvement. When you add that the offending party is basically invincible with no repercussion for their abysmal performances, you can understand why tempers can boil over.
100%. I’m pro-VAR, but think referees get more abuse now than prior to its introduction because there really is no excuse. Yes, there’s always going to be subjective decisions that don’t go a teams way, some worse than others, but some of the errors made - including the handful against you - this season have been absolutely farcical.
But on the other hand, they could just not and still get paid.

Pochettino got a yellow because of him as well.
Arteta isn't far behind.

If the crowd sings "The ref's a jolly old wanker", is the FA going to make the home team play without fans?
Well a "Fuck Paul Tierney" chant was already ringing around Anfield a few weeks ago... surprised more wasn't made of it in the media tbh
I can actually see it get to this point.
They are so intent on not letting the corrupt pricks get abused that its something they would do instead of actually doing their job

Honestly they're so thin skinned if the crowd started chanting "you don't know what you're doing" they'd probably have a mare over it.

How about all of us get together and banned the FA for being so disgraceful
I don't hear any lies told
Will get at least one game check’s worth of free drinks in Liverpool
Anthony Taylor🤝🏻Angel Hernandez
IYKYK
wtf does that mean?
the sporting director cant play in the next game, lol
jesus christ, its like giving a red an hour after the game ended cause he got his feelings hurt
Man punished for being right
Showerthought: abolish fines and bans for critisising referees, but in turn it's mandatory for refs to trash talk managers and players during the match as well.
that’s a lot calmer than i’d be if i worked for wolves tbh.
7 points lost in 13 games bc var can’t do their job is ridiculous
9 points*
Let him talk.
I mean he's correct
how long does it have to keep going like this before something changes though? everyone sees something is deeply fucked with refereeing in the PL. the fans see it, the players see it, the staff see it. you can't ban everyone
Show me the lie
Unpopular opinion but all the ref and var hating the is ruining the game.
Wolves have reason though. Lost 7 points, received more apologies then one hand can count, and it's not even halfway through the season. They'd be tied for 8th place right now with Brighton if that hadn't occurred.
These also aren't games like Newcastle/Arsenal where it's like if Bruno had got the red we "might" have won, it's they weren't given penalties in game they either lost by a goal or drew in and most likely would have scored them to win.
The refs being the shitest they have ever been is ruining the game.

I still don’t really understand how he went from being demoted to getting the City Chelsea match and now this. I just don’t understand why he’s being so protected.

people spend all day insulting referees and wonder why things haven’t improved. you haven’t suggested any legitimate fixes, you’re just being rude
A legit fix would be for them to actually do their fucking jobs.
Use the VAR correctly and they wouldnt get abused. Its a very very simple solution.
People spend all day licking referee boots and wonder why their mouth tastes like leather
If already 3 people have been penalised for saying something bad, yet, correct about your employer, maybe they are indeed not doing a good job PGMOL… 🤷
I'm all for punishing those who abuse refs but at the same time these refs have to be held responsible for the decisions they make. I have no idea why there aren't post match interviews with refs or atleast that they are required to explain their decisions in a written report that the managers can see. It just feels like they have all this authority yet face 0 responsibility with it
Multiple people from different clubs have been punished for saying Taylor can't do his job properly, he's in the spotlight almost every time he refs a game, is despised by most of the top clubs including Chelsea which he clearly is biased against, got demoted to the Championship and even got a decision wrong down there before coming back up.
Yet, according to clowns in the media, Anthony Taylor is the first or second best ref in the country. Absolute joke.
Iirc it wasn't a demotion but a rotation. So the bald fraud didn't get punished at all.
PMGOL seriously needs to take a look within themselves
A) if there training program is producing such shit employees, they seriously need to rethink their training program
B) A quote that stuck out to me over the summer was something along the lines of - if we are ok with taking the best players from all over the world, why don't we take the best refs as well?

... calling referee Anthony Taylor "absolutely f****** useless", the Football Association (FA) ~~has confirmed~~ agrees.
Sorry guys, we admit we missed multiple big decisions that went against you. Don’t say we can’t do our jobs though or you’re done for
One game? Hes not a player, what's the point of the suspension?
This is a gutless punishment.
If the lie doesn't fit you must acquit! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit!
