I think we must have paid a bribe just to be treated fairly - it's the only explanation.

I think he's trying to overcome the club's objections to him refereeing our games so he can influence the title in key games against title rivals.
The way we were playing yesterday we were always going to win at Watford.
Taylor is a rag through and through, but he's keeping his powder dry for the future.

That's not a bad point, that was his first PL game reffing us since the dry bumming he gave us against Chelsea

Maybe the Sterling sending off has worked in our favour. There was such an outcry over it and in the next two games we have had an excellent referee against the dippers and yesterday we got some marginal calls go for us, whereas usually they are the sort of things that go against us.

But in all honesty it's the big games, especially away from home where we need a strong ref. Like the dipper one. We'd expect to beat Watford in our current form regardless of good/bad officiating.

Just me then -
I thought the ref was generally poor yesterday - two or three fouls that were clear yellows including a challenge by Cleverley. Several challenges that were fouls that were not given - we were fortunate with the offside goals but cant blame the ref for them.
I thought we got a few fortunate calls yesterday - penalty was one example - Maybe they even out over the season but we didn't really need them yesterday.
I would rather it was just a consistently high and fair level of refereeing than have to feel as though bad decisions on both sides "even themselves out"

i agree with you about cleverley - I just posted in another thread the only reason I knew he was playing was because he kept hacking our players down. And getting away with it.

my point has, and will always be, that the refs are shit. they aren't bent. look at yesterday.
spurs denied an obvious pen. foster only seeing yellow for a disgusting challenge. watford not getting a pen and having marginal calls go against them. no team is being favoured. we are just all at the mercy of horribly inconsistent refereeing decisions.

I was listening to a Watford fan last night, on the 5 Live 'phone in part of the evening and he was both upset and furious with the referee's performance.

He reckoned that Taylor had bent over backwards for City and that "he never gave Watford anything", citing the fact that we were a "big Club" as a prime reason. He ranted on about the fact that they should have had a penalty, two City goals were offside at a time when the game was very evenly balanced and that Walker should have been sent off.

Apart from being very comical, the accusation that we had been somehow favoured by anyone of the ilk of Taylor, especially with his track record against us, felt most insulting.

Perhaps however, this is how the agenda against us will transform itself :- whenever (if ever) we do get a level playing field via the officials, we'll be accused by all and sundry of being the beneficiaries of bent refereeing.

You couldn't make it up.

Well one of the goals was offside, the other was when they finally paused the video. Might have a point on the penalty, not sure why walker gets a red though.

And all of these things happened after we were at the very least 2-0 up. How was the game perfectly balanced?

Matic completed 5 break it up fouls around the half way line, any other team under totting up would have seen at least a yellow. Refs have to forget who it is who they play for and apply the laws of the game. Jose plays the refs like a fiddle.

I am the only one who thought that Holebas deserved a red on Saturday for a similar foul to the one Britos was sent off for in Watford's previous home match?

That was a nasty,spiteful foul from a proper twat of a player.

Not so very Cleveverly should've been carded for his annual attempt to cripple someone from City.
