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.
If anything, a cup game is much more important than a league game, since the result of poor officiating could eject a team from the entire competition.
If he is deemed fit to ref Luton vs Wolves, then he’s fit to ref city vs chelsea. This whole attitude of “I’m more important so I deserve the good refs” is disgusting.
I could understand if it’s a derby or a fixture with real history, but the only thing to note about this game is how much money these clubs have. They’re not even competing in the same echelons of the table
