Probably to address "timewasting"...Nice to see they regard the fixture as one requiring one of the very top rated officials!
Not planning on handballing it on the line again are they?We've got Anthony Taylor for this one, which seems to have triggered an large and emotional outburst from Chelsea fans![]()

Ffs don't let any Chelsea fan hear about this.Not planning on handballing it on the line again are they?
I had the pleasure of meeting Tayls last week, really top drawer bloke. He even gave away a shirt he'd worn (and washed, obvs) to the youngest lad there as well. Signed it too.
You mean someone actually wanted a signed referees shirt? What strange times we live in!Not planning on handballing it on the line again are they?

I base on it on watching him rather than reffing us and he looks the part but spends far more time visiting the monitor than most that says it allNot a fan then?![]()
If the Chelski fans are bleating already that's ok by me. I reserve the right to change my tune come 7.30pm on Saturday evening. However in general the standard of the officiating this season has been pretty good in all fairness.I base on it on watching him rather than reffing us and he looks the part but spends far more time visiting the monitor than most that says it all
