[Ericsladkilnhurst]

Over zealous yellow card referee Anthony Taylor has not been selected to referee a game
this weekend, after making history on yellow cards given out in one game.

Last weekend Taylor gave Chelsea FC & AFC Bournemouth players a record 14 yellow cards,
which beat the previous record of 12 yellows given in a football match.
But Taylor did not stop at 14 yellow cards on the pitch, he added 2 more yellow cards to his tally,
with Chelsea FC boss Enzo Maresco & a member of AFC Bournemouth football staff.

Anthony Taylor will act as the 4th official in 2 games this coming weekend, on Saturday 21st
September, in the game in between Southampton FC v Ipswich Town.
Then on Sunday 22nd September Brighton & Hove Albion v Nottingham Forest.

Anthony Taylor 14 yellow cards on the pitch & 2 yellow cards off it made history, & cost both clubs
Chelsea FC & AFC Bournemouth a fine of £25,000 each.

The previous record of 12 yellow cards in a match were both -

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Newcastle United in 2010
Chelsea FC v Tottenham Hotspur in 2016

ELK, and there you have a Ref applying the letter of the law who which laws were laid down by the FA.

Could he have been more lenient, I don’t know I didn’t see the game?

Until you have reffed a game, only then can you appreciate what it takes to officiate a game.

You’re damned if you do or you’re damned if you don’t. Very fine lines indeed. I wonder how much VAR mirrored his decisions?

It is the fine that makes me laugh, which old suit pocket will the owners find the loose change to pay it

£25,000 on the red or black [ chicken feed ]
