       The refereeing team can be very proud of their performance.
       It was one of those matches that can easily destroy a referee
       but credit to Taylor for not allowing that to happen. Despite
       the (correct) OFR, I think that he proved that he is rightly on
       the very top of the Elite list.
       The only negative of this final was Mourinho and his theatrics.
       I really hope that UEFA deals with him properly.

       I wonder what Mourinho would have said had Smalling's header at
       the end of extra time dropped below the crossbar instead of onto
       it....

       And now for the other side of the story …
       I watched the game on Italian TV and have been following
       accounts in the Italian media, where the general view seems to
       be that Mr Taylor had a very poor game and that he did indeed
       lose the plot.  Trying to navigate round Mourinho's customary
       graceless hysterics and the natural sour grapes that come from a
       defeat in these circumstances, I think the incidents that most
       upset the Italians were:
       1. The failure to give a penalty against Sevilla for handball;
       2. The failure to issue a second caution to Rakitić and to
       Lamela (and perhps not to show Lamela a red card for the clash
       with Ibáñez);
       3. The failure to spot that Bounou got his fingertips to a shot
       from Belotti and hence to award a corner instead of a goal kick.
       I also suspect that some blame Mr Taylor for awarding what is
       perceived as an excessive amount of stoppage time, which, if so,
       is distinctly unfair, although I'm not sure the world is ready
       for 3-hour football matches.
       Incident 3 was, I think, a mistake, though it is amazing how
       much clearer such incidents become when you have seen several
       replays, and in any case it was hardly a match-changing
       incident.  1 and 2 could be put down to bias on the part of the
       commentators, but it also reflects in my view different
       expectations: the Italians tend to have a particularly severe
       approach to handball (Irrati would have given the penalty!), and
       they also tend to expect rather more cautions than would be
       given elsewhere.  A constant feature of the last World Cup
       (where the Italians were disinterested observers!) was for a
       foul to be followed by a confident prediction of a yellow card,
       only for no yellow card to appear, and it seems that the
       Italians are having trouble adjusting to the rather more
       parsimonious use of cards currently favoured internationally.
       It will be interesting to see (if we ever do) how the
       authorities at UEFA assess Mr Taylor's performance and how they
       react to the behaviour of too many players and of many of those
       on the benches.

       Personally none of the SYC shouts where 100% clear, no card was
       fine, Matic equally could have had a SY.
       The point about the corner, I really think VAR should be used in
       these situations. Its a factual decision, that would improve the
       game, stop wrong corners/ missed corners etc, which can lead to
       goals. It takes about 30 seconds these days to set up a corner/
       goal kick. It needs one look at a replay most of the time.

       It most certainly wasn't a handball, even by the harsh standards
       applied in Europe it wasn't even close.  And I don't recall
       seeing anything that ticked a box for a second caution.  Yes,
       Bono did get the faintest of touches on a shot, but it took
       multiple replays to see it.  And of course, the irony here is
       had his forward got the shot on target they'd have a goal and no
       need for a corner, pretty sure it was going wide even without
       the touch.
       The reports are that Mourinho had his rant by the officials
       minibus, but it was also witnessed by Roberto Rosseti.  They
       really should be throwing a very thick and heavy book at him, he
       has gone way too far this time.  Although Sevilla shouldn't
       escape sanctions, their behaviour wasn't a whole lot better.

       Paris is nice this time of year don't you think!?
       On one of the videos of it I noticed Bogár Gergő stepping
       in to try and calm things down. He was RLO. Amazingly talented
       young ref and looked very calm and professional on the video.

       I for one am sick of negative Italian tactics. The audacity to
       make a meal of every challenge and complain when a referee waves
       play on and argue over blatantly correct decisions. Also, the
       ridiculous reaction of the Italian press when they are
       continuously complaining about referees. UEFA get in such a bind
       as to who to appoint to their games, so maybe italians should
       start realising the problem might be them …
       Italy is also now a bit of an outlier in terms of the laws. I
       don’t see many Italian League games, but what they think is
       handball just isn’t correct. They seem to think it’s like hockey
       and feet, that somehow VAR is there to spot if the ball has hit
       any arm, however accidentally.
       Should also finally be a message to refs everywhere - soon as
       Mourinho starts his antics (down the line at the AR, on the
       field flapping his arms around) just give him a RC straight away
       and have an easier rest of the game. You get no credit or
       improvement by trying to manage / warn.
       His conduct in the car park is outrageous and being so public
       too, UEFA has to send a strong message out with a serious
       punishment, on principle if nothing else.

       Unfortunately it seems the Roma fans followed the lead of their
       manager, which lead to some shocking scenes for Anthony and his
       family at Budapest airport including what looks like a table
       being thrown in his direction. Disgusting scenes and behaviour.

       It’s disgusting behaviour, it really is. Mourinho should be
       totally ashamed but his ego won’t allow for it.
       I hope Anthony and family have all the support they need, both
       back here and from UEFA.
