So Anthony Taylor gets demoted for a Championship game last weekend after a big error in the PL the week before, makes another mistake in a Championship game, and now is given a huge game back in the PL this weekend.
I really don’t understand how this makes sense at all.
If he was eased back into the PL after at least a month, it would be understandable.
To be clear, though he has made so many mistakes, I’m not saying that he has to lose his job or referee the championship for the remainder of his career. But surely bringing him back so soon is a mistake?
Especially in a match where Chelsea is playing - he’s known for making terrible decisions against them for years, and now the PL throws him back into a game of such magnitude?
It doesn’t make sense for the PL and Anthony Taylor. I’m sure that he will feel the pressure come Sunday.
I see what you’re saying but the reality is that some fixtures genuinely are bigger and more important.
You’re allowed to dislike that but it’s still true.
A referee with such a controversial history simply shouldn’t be in charge for this game because then it adds more fuel to the fire as far as corruption and incompetence goes.
If he makes a bad call or a dubious decision that impacts the game that’s all anyone will talk about
