Slightlly "off topic" perhaps and, if so I apologise
Altrincham's own Select Group Referee Anthony Taylor has been promoted to the FIFA Referee list from January 1st 2013
A superb achievement for a local lad and (as ESPN have mentioned on more than one occasion) an Alty Fan as well.
-
Great news. Congratulations to him
-
Good achievement, espn have said although he's from manchester ( I'm guessing either born in or living within manchester city council boundary ) he's an alty fan
-
Well done Mr Taylor. He seems to have matured very quickly as a ref since he was promoted to do Prem league games.
-
I would think that its a natural progression on to the FIFA books when you have refereed a pre season friendly Alty v Burnley XI fixture ;)
Well done Anthony

Two poor sending off decisions today from Mr Taylor during the West Ham v Everton game.
Yes, feet were a touch high but i think a booking for each would have been sufficient.

Taylor out?

Taylor out?
Tail out?

One correct (2nd red) and one in correct (the first)
-
I know that I'm likely to be pilloried for supporting a friend/colleague but I honestly think that both were Red Cards
The first (Carlton Cole) may be a touch harsh but it did endanger the safety of an opponent and was made with (marginally) disproportionate force
The second one (Gibson) is a Red Card all day, week, month and year

Absolute shocking refereeing yesterday that decided the result of the match. At least 4 wong decisions- the 3 raised feet and a disallowed goal.
To be honest I think Anthony is one of the better Premiership Referees that had an awful day for which West Ham paid the price. The other times I have seen him referee either on TV or live, he has been very good and I can recall only one really poor decision where he didnt award United a blatant penalty at Wolves. Usually my only objection is that because he lives in the borough of Trafford he should not be permitted to referee games involving United or City. I also wonder if the claim (and am not certain that it is his personal claim) that he is an Alty fan is a matter of convenience and is he as quick to claim he is a mate of ATS as vice versa.
As for consistancy, well the only thing consistant is the luck and favourable decisions Everton have had this season. Sure Moyes is a great manager but Everton are a Championship standard club in a false position.
Sorry, I couldnt resist on this occasion to reply to a topic that has nothing to do with Altrincham Football Club posted by every referee's favourite fan.
-
I remember him going our matches he was a pal of ballers also moyes is a good manager certainly not great hence the no trophies in ten years as in the decisions I didn't see them i wouldn't watch west ham v eveton if it was in the garden

Redhill
He has never ever claimed to be a friend of mine, why would he need to do that?
He is though and I am proud to say that to anyone no matter how much stick they might give him / me / Referees in general.
The Alty fan issue has already been dealt with
-
Taylor out?
Anthony or Phil ? ;)

Just saw this and had to ask...
What do you mean by that? Everton are probably the fourth biggest club in this country in terms of fanbase, historical achievements and so on. And their current squad is pretty good. Sure they're slowly going bankrupt under Kenwright, but I'm not sure how that makes them a "Championship standard club".

Purely in terms of history, Everton have spent only four seasons outside the top level of English football since being one of the 12 founder members of the Football League in 1888.
For me, they are one of the biggest clubs in English football, albeit in slightly reduced circumstances nowadays.

Hope your including Creepy Crawley in that list ;) :D

Wrong!
It is an independent panel which adjudicates on these matters I think

"Taylor is believed to be the first official in the country to have had two red cards from the same game wiped out" (The Times this morning).

"Suspensions for Carlton Cole and Darron Gibson have been withdrawn
The FA can confirm that red cards shown to West Ham United's Carlton Cole and Everton's Darron Gibson have been rescinded.
Both players were sent from the field of play in the Premier League fixture between the two clubs at Upton Park on Saturday 22 December.
Their three match suspensions have been withdrawn immediately. Written reasons will be provided at a later date.
Other hearings heard by The FA today: "
It may or may not be an independent panel, but the judgement comes from the FA.

Very much an Alty fan, used to go home and away game til refereeing commitments on Saturdays got in the way.
Don't see him so much now but he's still very much in the loop about how we're doing.
-
Personally I would like to see referees explain why they gave the decisions in the game. I believe it would give some people a better understanding of the laws of the game especially the pundits. Though I think some of the LOAF and directives don't help the referees especially the offside law.
-
It would also help if pundits and managers passed an exam at the start of the season to show that they understand the laws of the game e.g. that there's no 'last man' rule, and that players aren't 'entitled to go down' under certain types of challenge etc.

Nice idea Ian but you know as well as I do that nobody (particularly the media and the "offended against Club & its fans) is really interested.
When SKY started they had a Referee in the Studio ( either Joe Worrall or Neil Midgely I believe) who explained why certain decisions had been made. This totally destroyed any controversy and after about six games they paid the Ref off and didn't use him any more.
Now they put Alan Wiley and Dermot Gallagher on the media the day after when most folk aren't working and only normally show their comments when the Referee has erred
