       It really is asking for criticism to have the referee and VAR
       official both from Manchester officiating a Man Utd game.
       Particularly when we see the outcome last night.

       I have only seen the very briefest of highlights on Breakfast TV
       this morning. How Maguire did not receive a red card, I really
       don't know. Harry has claimed that he stuck out his leg to stop
       the opponent from falling on him, but that imho is a load of
       tosh. The movement of the leg into the groin was voluntary and
       should have been punished accordingly. A yellow card in this
       instance makes a mockery of VAR at a time when it already has
       problems in being accepted on the PL. There has been talk of a
       wrong use of VAR provoking problems on the terraces. I listened
       to the last few minutes of the game on R5L. The United fans were
       chortling 'V-A-R' whilst the Chelsea fans who stayed behind were
       chorusing something less complimentary about VAR. We do not need
       this. The VAR in this instance did not do his job correctly and
       this must not be allowed to happen again.

       Absolutely right.  Without questioning in any way, the
       integrity of either official, it does give substance  to those
       who might and put officials under unnecessary pressure.  I
       believe that appointments should be on the basis of geographical
       neutrality, that the same officials should not be appointed to
       matches involving the same teams too often and that account must
       be taken of their level of competence and current form.  These
       days, it would sometimes appear that none of those criteria are
       considered.

       I don't have any issue with Taylor or Kavanagh doing Man Utd/Man
       City games. Taylor, in particular, has done them for years. I
       think Man Utd have lost the two games Kavanagh has refereed them
       so far.

       I am increasingly disappointed by certain correspondents,
       including, at times, myself who seem content, if not keen, to
       call into question the capability, integrity even competence of
       officials often comparing them disparagingly with their
       favourite official and attempting to justify this by amplifying
       their own personal perception.
       Given recent events, particularly in the media are we not
       perpetuating behaviour shown to occasionally have tragic
       outcomes.
       Can we please try being nice to each other as requested by the
       late Caroline Flack

       Who’s questioning integrity, The Only Argument seems to be that
       A ref from manchester shouldn’t be refereeing manchester games
       as it puts added pressure on him. I Don’t Agree with the
       argument, but it’s not one intented to question integrity. Most
       of the comments are rightly criticising taylor for his poor
       performance last night and other poor performances this season.
       They’re all fair comments and no one is being nasty, why bring
       caroline flack up. Your only really upset because it’s your mate
       taylor being criticised if were being honest.

       Geography is possibly the biggest red herring used on
       appointnents. Referee A grows up in Town B supporting them as a
       younger person, moves to City C and progesses in refereeing.
       Which team should they avoid? Team B or Team C? Definitely Team
       B
       Unless referees are involved with academies within football
       clubs I see no issue with appointing someone to their closest
       club, since it is not their home team.   (Just make sure your
       son/daughter is not seen in a United shirt 😉)
       And what happens if a ref moves during their career? Suddenly
       its ok to ref Team C as they no longer live there but now they
       cannot do Team D? Ridiculous

       I heard Mark Clattenburg say that his son started supporting one
       of the best teams for a bit (can't remember exactly who, might
       have been Arsenal) and he had to be careful not to let him war
       an Arsenal shirt in public in case he was photographed. I think
       making judgements based on geography is often a bit superficial.
       You can say it puts them under added pressure but how much does
       it really?

       So Son is sent off for flicking out at Rudiger who fell down
       like he was shot warranted a red card, bizarrely.  And yet
       Maguire kicks and then stamps his boot into Batshuayi's
       privates, blatantly an nastily, yet is given absolutely
       nothing!!!
       A really poor night for Taylor, got so many things wrong.
       Chelsea can, for once, feel rightly aggrieved by his
       incompetence and the VAR's awfulness.
