he latest ruling regarding Anthony Taylor’s controversial decisions in the Arsenal vs Liverpool match is significant.

referee has informed Arsenal supporters that while their grievances regarding Anthony Taylor’s performance against Liverpool are legitimate, there is no conspiracy against them. Despite twice seizing the lead at the Emirates Stadium, the Gunners were unable to secure a 2-2 draw with Arne Slot’s team on Sunday. Mike Dean, a former Premier League referee, stated to Sky Sports that referee Taylor had a successful game. However, some home fans would disagree.

 

“In the generation prior to VAR, I do not believe there were as many significant discussions and contestations of decisions as there are now.” However, no two incidents are identical. “You have commentators quoting: “He’s the last man,” and the fans have subsequently come to the conclusion that, if you are the last man, you are out.” That is not the legal interpretation, nor has it ever been. It is imperative that you maintain possession of the ball and direct it toward the goal of your opponent. And the one that appears to be that is not the same as the one the following week.

However, fans will always have conspiracy theories, and when you have the evidence and have had three players sent off, two of whom have received cautions for kicking the ball away. Declan Rice was the first to do so, but Trossard was the most recent unfortunate individual to do so, and he was appropriately dismissed. Then, this weekend, Luis Diaz does it against them, and you can fully comprehend why everyone is saying, “Wait a minute, the referees have got it in for Arsenal or the refs have got it in for Wolves.”

That is the nature of football. Referees could benefit from demonstrating greater consistency in the application of the law, despite the fact that individuals will continually assert this.
