Dont disagree mate.Anthony Taylor was just as bad in the Everton v Bournemouth game on Sunday..Lost the game at 20 minutes in and never recovers....Both Keen and Gomez should have been given straight reds for some of the tackles and snidey off the ball incidents and also for defenders going over the back of the Bournemouth CF at least 8 -10 times during the game,the same as happened to Wyke against Luton ,without any free kicks being award for this.. One of the worst EPL performances from Taylor but with no chance of him being sidelined or demoted or removed.....Until Referees are made to come and answer for their decisions after a game to team Managers, Coaches and the media, nothing will change regarding the poor refereeing we see week in week out in all leagues.
Like us all referees make mistakes. Of course not happy but no issue if its a genuine mistake and the ref recognises that.
However, what we have seen at Sunderland this season imho is refs coming with an agenda to prove they are not a 'homer' particularly with our big crowds in this division. I can only think that with some of the bad decisions the referee made on Saturday as there was no logic to them other than he was a cheat (and I wouldnt like to think that).
