Corruption favoring Chelsea this year. Especially under Taylor. First Brentford, now this.

Stats don't lie, and no one has said anything about this game.

Chelsea have the worst win % with Taylor refereeing than any top team, and have received more cards from him than any other team while getting the least against the teams we play. There's also been a penalty imbalance when we have him. Historically he's screwed us multiple times with terrible calls while the other team has gotten away with a lot, yet he's assigned to officiate our games against top teams all the time.
And on cue, he gives you that :laugh:

I wish football was like rugby and whiners like Bruno would be sent to sidelines swiftly.

Stick your leg in front of the guy kicking a ball and get a penalty. They need to make better judgment calls on those plays.

Thiago Silva is trying to play the ball, come on. Obvious foul, and because it's in the box it's a penalty.

Would have been fun to watch Chelsea lose, but even is probably where this game should be. Let's hope it ends there.

Taylor deserves props for that call. I watched it again in real time and i would not have given that. Slowed down, it's quite clearly a penalty.

It’s a really hard call. The ridiculous one was the Spurs / Liverpool from a while back when Lamela clearly sees the contact coming and puts himself in front.

Thiago Silva makes a meal of it, but he does get kicked going for the ball. It sucks, but I guess by the rules.
