Lets just cancel mourinho and get him out of football. I cant stand toxic manager like him
Jose Mourinho's dark side
Anthony Taylor is hugely overrated..but this is just not acceptable
It's a disgrace that refs have to go through these…Roma one was particularly horrible.
Not even Espanyol fans did that when ref awarded Atleti the goal despite not having GLT and they were fighting relegation.
I see a lot of people saying How poor Anthony Tayler was.But he made correct decisions when it mattered the most.He got those 2 penalty calls and decision to retake the pen spot on in my opinion.
Burley commenting without seeing the game and then giving the ref a blanket pass is troubling. I’ve seen Taylor ref terribly and refs should be held accountable like everyone else in the sport. No excuse for those bone-heads attacking Taylor but why was he traveling with his family? Do players and team staff travel with their families?
Anthony Taylor is a Brit and Italians hate Brits, that simple, Forza Italia.
Uefa and the refereeing bodies need to be held accountable. Taylor is a serial offender. Why was he even given this game. Why ruin a European final for these fans with this bizarre appointment? Look, if Taylor doesn't like it he can retire or stop taking these huge games. He's terrible. There's just no excuse.
Taylor hates United, United hates Taylor.
My heart bleeds for Taylor. Karma. He didn't die. Why would you take your family. Not bright.
Deserved. His errors are inexplicable. He's screwed over so many teams and noone can explain how he makes these errors. Clear errors. Obvious errors. He's bent. This is warranted. These fans pay their money and get these chances once in a lifetime.
Finally all the world get to know the reality about Roma fans. The WORST In Europe, unable to accept any defeat and ready to behave as animals. 50 against 1. The clown mourinho is just perfect for them
BOTAK BOLENANG..BOTAK BOLENANG
These refree are not good and you guys don't talk about that
FORZA ROMAAAA
One key point. The standard of referees then we're not as bad as now. N I mean international not just epl. You wouldn't have seen scenes like this when collina or that tall Dutch ref were around. Why? Cause they did their jobs! N they don't stand for people who try to screw around.
Anthony and his family deserve more than that.
so noone is going to put the blame on taylor,,,,if he had done his job properly this all wouldnt have happened
I am a As Roma fan and i can only say that Taylor didn't deserve this. He actually did a great job . It wasn't meant to be for us and thats all. Shame on those stupid fans.
Very partial video, very partial commentator. Nobody touched him, he was just moved away by the security, nobody got injured. I believe the shameful thing here is that media are just focusing on this episode , evening blaming Roma, instead of reporting what happened on the pitch.
The referee could not manage the game at all. Many mistakes and a one sided approach that led to a defeat for the Italian team that wasn’t fair.
What will happen to this referee? Will he still manage important matches or will he be radiated as he would deserve? There are clear evidences of his lack of skills, just in the last game a clear penalty not given (why he didn’t want to even look at the VAR?), La Mela not booked for the second time after hitting Ibanez with his elbow (Ibanez was lying for minutes covered in blood..) and many others. Instead of giving visibility to this video (once again is easy with a video to show something in a different way) and let this commentator speak about nothing (he also mentioned that Roma is 6th just because Juventus got penalized… isn’t it justice something to be respected as the team did wrong ???) you should focus on Taylor game management that caused the frustration of many fans. There are plenty of videos showing Taylor mistakes, if Taylor is such a good referee then there is fore sure bad faith: in other words financial interests behind his actions which would make things even worse for him… it wouldn’t be the first time of a referee that got bribed or supporting some specific interests (remember Moreno during South Korean World Cup?)
I think there are many more interesting topics about Taylor to focus on, if you don’t wanna cover what happened on the pitch…
Get them to be accountable for the decisions they make. Rather than hide behind a wall. Yet, hold players and managers accountable for TV interviews. It's that simple. Pretty sure fans will back off.
Maybe refs should strike minutes before some of the biggest games in protest of the abuse they constantly face.
When the money grabbers running these clown show organizations realize that they are losing money for the sitting on their hands while human beings are being abused for doing their jobs, then they’ll…maybe take action to punish the idiots who perpetrate these acts and the clubs that do nothing.
