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.
As a Chelsea fan if we were going to have Anthony Taylor, which at some point we would, with his appalling history against us, this is the best game to have him as he know he can’t fuck up and give any team favours (usually given to league leaders, let’s be honest).
By favours I don’t mean anyone is corrupt, just the normal crap we see from refs, human errors, and the natural instincts to add a few extra minutes or give a dubious penalty to the league leaders.
Eyes will be on him and he knows it.
