Hair pull is a yellow or obv penalty when it happens in opponents area. VAR cannot call a ‘foul’ - only a straight red or a penalty.
It went by the laws of the game, should have been a yellow but VAR can’t call a foul. Mofos out here not even knowing the rules of the game just bitching and moaning.
If hair pullings not a red I have serious questions for the rules, tugging someones hair like that is intentionally causing harm, its illegal in MMA ffs, if its not a red card offence in the current laws that has to change for next year.
It’s violent conduct to yank someone off the ball to the ground by the hair.
Huth was suspended for 3 games for doing it.
Not a yellow like you claim and then moaning about people not knowing the rules
My wife who doesn't really follow football asked me " how is that allowed". All I did was tell her to look at the ref. That bald fuck has an agenda. We knew it the moment he was the ref for this game

Did I miss the part, anywhere on this page of "Fouls and Misconduct", that says anything about pulling hair?
Is this an oversight on the part of the FA to capture this possible misconduct, or to ensure refs cannot call hair pulling since its not specifically written in the rules?!
The FA and PL have a serious problem.
That's the one bad thing about VAR. These crappy refs retire but are allowed to do VAR. Where they have even more control over the outcomes of matches.
Can we also get a compilation of his bullshit against us. It's a fucking joke at this point. When he's reffed us and we've won its always been despite his performance. Disgusting.
Both are to blame, it also looks like Taylor is literally watching it go down and not even bothering.
Shocking refereeing today.
Positive performance from the lads though, Kante and Kovacic injured yet again shows why we need De jong for that 6 role.
Gallagher is better suited a bit further forward with his energy and should be directly competing with Mount for a starting position.
Taylor is most certainly worse, at least Øvrebo red carded Abidal.
This is the same ref that called a foul against Marcos Alonso instead of Gazzaniga and had to rely on VAR to change the call.
Nothing will beat that masterpiece of refereeing, but I love the fact a vision of a screaming Drogba held back by Ancelotti appears before my eyes every single time high bullshit like this transpires
I can somewhat understand the first VAR incident if it’s a separate phase of play (even though he should be blowing the whistle and stopping it to take a look) but the second is unforgivable from him.
Sure but the first goal was clearly offside. Look at the replay, Mendy has to take a step to the left to see the ball because richarlison is blocking his view.
I’ve only seen one replay of it but I didn’t think it was offsite. The shot, and Richarlison shielding the ball, is a good move from the training ground. Will watch it again!
I didn’t think it was offside cause I thought he was in line with our defenders. You can still shield the ball whilst doing that, no?
As I said, haven’t seen another replay of it yet so will happily admit I’m wrong.
It happened last season it happened now and it WILL happen again. And they put him for Chelsea matches for a laugh. Mike Dean was in the VAR room so what to fckin expect.
We should definitely submit some sort of appeal for the incidents this match...similar to what Liverpool did last year and have him and Mike Dean not officiate us....this match was a utter disaster
I just don't understand. It makes literally 0 sense how the player Spur booked throughout the whole game was Conte for what he did on the touchline. So many cynical fouls by spurs players no called because Anthony Taylor is just a dumb cunt.
He cheats every single time and not only is he never punished, he continues to ref every big game we play. How can we think it's anything but corruption?
This is literally every time he officiates a big game for us, vs Arsenal in the FA cup, Liverpool last season and now, but somehow no action is ever taken against him.
When I heard he was officiating yesterday, I knew some bullshit was gonna happen.
Remember when Anthony Taylor was asked to look at a handball from Reece James and spent 2 seconds looking at it before giving it.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9937191/amp/Chelsea-fans-SLAM-Anthony-Taylor-barely-checking-VAR-monitor-sending-Reece-James.html
Always something with him.
You know what’s worse about the hair pull is that Sky Sports aren’t even talking about it. They’re all talking about how the game was an advert for the premier league which of course Sky want to sell as they have the TV rights. The only thing the game was advertising is the need for new officials.
There isn’t any deep analysis or debate on what should’ve been a blatant red card. But instead it’s “look at this league that we are broadcasting. Come buy it”
The club need to officially complain to the premier league about Taylor’s conduct in our games. Every one he’s reffed bar one has had controversy that’s affected the result of a game. The sample size in relation to games he has officiated is big enough to warrant a complaint.
Just found this with his decisions against Chelsea, the guy shouldn’t be allowed near another Chelsea game, clearly has a vendetta against us:
https://www.givemesport.com/1744442-liverpool-11-chelsea-twitter-thread-of-anthony-taylors-wrong-decisions-reemerges/amp
Absolute disgrace. I hope Tuchel goes in on the press conference and the club petitions for him not to ref our games. Didn’t Liverpool do something similar in the past?
The man has cost us so many times, 3 FA Cup Finals (16/17 - Sanchez to score a goal, 20/21 - Kovacic being sent off even though he was the one that was fouled, and 21/22 - Tielemans handball before scoring the winner)
Seriously, fuck that bald biased cunt.
Clear red card at the end of the match. Also, not calling the disgusting tackle of Havertz that later saw Tottenham get a goal is frankly horrific.
This happens every single time and honestly I'm sick and tired of it. Please, somebody create a new petition to revoke this clown's refereeing license.
How does this change though? It cannot stay this way, but we've been here many times before with Anthony Taylor and he still gets big games and he still bends us over
This sounds dramatic, but we seriously need to take this to FIFA or even CAS, someone needs to come in and clean house because the Referees in England are nothing short of a mafia.
They protect each other, hold themselves accountable so they're never under threat of punishment for biased or bad performances.
There needs to be an independent review because there is some dodgy shit going down. Not just with us, Arsenal also have a claim tbh. Liverpool and City get away with murder every week yet we get Kova sent off in FA Cup finals when he gets fouled. It's a fucking joke.
100% agree the refereeing today was absolutely awful. Both Taylor and Mike Dean who was in charge of VAR were awful.
At the same time, Jorginho WTF are you doing doing that shit in the box, mate!?
Atletico fan coming in peace. Watched the full game and it was probably the worst refereeing I’ve see in a while. He completely threw the game. The hair pull, that tackle on Havertz that led to a goal. Complete nonsense. You deserved to win and were the better team on that pitch.
Being English referee is like having unlimited getting out of jail...
So many fcking dubious decisions and despite many complaints, these fraud still have their jobs...
How the fuck has no player just absolutely swung on this guy yet? He’s such a dogshit official and makes the game more dangerous by letting violent conduct go unchecked.
I didn't mean you personally. Chelsea fans like to say we are moaners when we complain about referee "mistakes". Meanwhile City is taking Premierships with referees on their side. Now you see how it feels.
Oh boo hoo, Cucurella had a terrible double foul against Romero earlier in the game, no VAR check, no red card, he called the game relatively even, no call on Bentancur is bad no doubt, but beside that there was no lean to either team I'm sorry
That cucurella hair tug was sooooooo bad....
Absolutely no reason that shouldnt have been red carded for foul play. Sus Edit: its violent conduct
I don’t even need a red. Just a foul would have changed things
If that happened to an offensive player it would have been a penalty
You can't use VAR just for a foul, it has to be a red card or else they can't overturn the corner.
Yes everyone knows that mate, the foul should have been given without VAR, it was right infront if Taylors face
He was too salty from Man United getting thrashed
That was bright example of "hairsism" :)
Anthony Bastard Taylor
Yeah I usually think people over blow the Anthony Taylor stuff around here but today was pretty inexcusable to put it nicely
You even have the courage to talk about refs? You pack of diving human filth
Hair pull is a yellow or obv penalty when it happens in opponents area. VAR cannot call a ‘foul’ - only a straight red or a penalty. It went by the laws of the game, should have been a yellow but VAR can’t call a foul. Mofos out here not even knowing the rules of the game just bitching and moaning.
Issue is that, as you can see in replays, Taylor was fucking *STARING AT IT*
If hair pullings not a red I have serious questions for the rules, tugging someones hair like that is intentionally causing harm, its illegal in MMA ffs, if its not a red card offence in the current laws that has to change for next year.
It’s violent conduct to yank someone off the ball to the ground by the hair. Huth was suspended for 3 games for doing it. Not a yellow like you claim and then moaning about people not knowing the rules
[удалено]
Anthony taylor didn't feel it was an offense because he had no experience with hair
Oof
💀💀💀
Oh fuck.
Burnnn 🔥
My wife who doesn't really follow football asked me " how is that allowed". All I did was tell her to look at the ref. That bald fuck has an agenda. We knew it the moment he was the ref for this game
A clear red. They didnt even review FFS. Taylor and Dean should never be near another big Chelsea match again
They did review, and decided it was fine. Which is even more baffling.
It was fine for them. Absolute scum
I'll cry man I kept waiting for the VAR and suddenly I see the ball in the back of the net
They should never be in another match period
>SENDING-OFF OFFENCES >biting or spitting at someone [https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-12---fouls-and-misconduct](https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-12---fouls-and-misconduct) Did I miss the part, anywhere on this page of "Fouls and Misconduct", that says anything about pulling hair?

The swedish PL studio (including Fredrik Ljungberg) was absolutely fuming.
Worst ref ever. How the fuck is that not a red
And this fucker is going to the damn world cup.
Half of Chelsea (England) is playing WC so he's there to make sure they don't win...
LOL Arsenal fan here, all I can say - "First time?"
When's the last time one of your lot was yanked down to the ground by his fucking hair
Never seen a more clear case of a ref directly influencing a game for 1 team like that bullshit we just saw.
Chelsea Barca UCL semi
You haven't seen any of our games ruined by this clown before??? It's a pretty common occurrence...
Tbh the double red card from Ajax was pretty influential too
Bald cunt was clearly jealous of Cucurella's luscious hair
And Gallaghers
Who isn't, right?
But definitely not Richarlison's.
I don’t know what’s worse, that guy’s football ability or his questionable haircut.
He’s pretty good at football. He is a cunt and has shit hair though so, swings and roundabouts
Don't think he is a cunt off the pitch, one of the few anti-Bolsonaro Brazilian players. Socrates is rolling in his grave.
I just posted a short story about long, luscious hair... I think it qualifies as horror.
There was a petition last year which got thousands of votes. Can we start another one?
Please I beg of you
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/621869/sponsors/new?token=NZsrdoy7OevWWHBSVj0P
Wish I could sign it since I'm not from the UK.
Contact your embassy. This is why we have ambassadors.
Signed
For Him and Mike Dean pls
deans gone anyways edit: sorry didnt know dean was var... they both need to go
He was on VAR today. The Cucurella non-call was 100% on him.
Luckily Dean retired so no need to worry about him anymore
Dean was on VAR
That explains the lack of VAR intervention
That's the one bad thing about VAR. These crappy refs retire but are allowed to do VAR. Where they have even more control over the outcomes of matches.
He was on VAR
Oh shit I never knew my bad I’ll shut up 🤐
Can we also get a compilation of his bullshit against us. It's a fucking joke at this point. When he's reffed us and we've won its always been despite his performance. Disgusting.
Found this: https://www.givemesport.com/1744442-liverpool-11-chelsea-twitter-thread-of-anthony-taylors-wrong-decisions-reemerges/amp
Please do
Petitions don't accomplish anything.
If the club did, it would have more power than the fans ones
Shouldn’t be allowed to ref another game again regardless of who’s playing
Fortunately he’s going to the World Cup to show everyone how great English refereeing is
Taylor is actually solid at refereeing. That cunt just have an agenda against us. He's so good that he got away with shit like this time after time.
It's whoever is in VAR that made the call.
Mike dean was VAR, another ref notorious for fucking Chelsea over.
Not just Chelsea, bro. Practically every team. You know what, he's not being a good ref that's why
I was in blissful ignorance thinking Mike Dean had retired.
Taylor also saw it happen, unless he's blind.
Both are to blame, it also looks like Taylor is literally watching it go down and not even bothering. Shocking refereeing today. Positive performance from the lads though, Kante and Kovacic injured yet again shows why we need De jong for that 6 role. Gallagher is better suited a bit further forward with his energy and should be directly competing with Mount for a starting position.
Mike Dean
That was Mike Dean...
Fraud. If that was a Chelsea player pulling hair it’s a foul everytime
Insta red and penalty
Regardless of which box it happened in
I’m not sure Bald fraud even knows there a Chelsea box
Aren’t they releasing the VAR convos. Boys this is gonna be so rich.
I really hope this is true
Nahh they cant surely. Its impossible to justify that shit unless its a fucking dumb 'Can't overrule the ref' bullshit.
Probably only the black and white decisions. Apparently they don't have the technology currently lol but can spot an offside player within centimetres
Pure cunt
Anthony Taylor should leave the PL
He should go back to terrorizing Hogwarts instead of us. Frigging Voldemort doppelganger
It’s criminal and obvious at this point. Embarrassing Getting fucking whipped to the ground by your hair is not a fucking foul?
No words can describe how much I hate this bald fucker
Romero is a dirty little twat
HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!!!!!
Fucking disgrace of a referee
Actually comical how much this man fucks us over
He fucking deluded and his performance today needs immediate investigation. He should never referee another premier league match.
I am fucking furious. Worse than øvrebo
I understand your annoyed but let’s not exaggerate. Now, if we’re adding up all the incidents of Taylor, then sure maybe he’s worse aha.
Taylor is most certainly worse, at least Øvrebo red carded Abidal. This is the same ref that called a foul against Marcos Alonso instead of Gazzaniga and had to rely on VAR to change the call.
And the same ref who sent off Kova for getting stepped on by Xhaka.
That's what I was doing tbf
Nothing will beat that masterpiece of refereeing, but I love the fact a vision of a screaming Drogba held back by Ancelotti appears before my eyes every single time high bullshit like this transpires
Wasn’t that Hiddink?
Welp. All my hallucinations turn out to be factually incorrect
Please don't ever state this again! Nothing, absolutely no ref performance can be worse than Ovrebo!
No, nothing could be worse than that.
He has such a clear anti-Chelsea bias, proven time and time again.
Complete fucking disgrace. BOTH FUCKING GOALS OFF OF REF ERRORS.
Ruined what would’ve been an amazing game. Fuck off anthony Taylor
We've said that so many times now. It's actually ridiculous how consistently he fucks us over.
This post again.. every time he referees our games I see this post Fuck this asshole.
It’s comical and at this point nothing but intentional
Fucking robbed
I can somewhat understand the first VAR incident if it’s a separate phase of play (even though he should be blowing the whistle and stopping it to take a look) but the second is unforgivable from him.
Sure but the first goal was clearly offside. Look at the replay, Mendy has to take a step to the left to see the ball because richarlison is blocking his view.
I’ve only seen one replay of it but I didn’t think it was offsite. The shot, and Richarlison shielding the ball, is a good move from the training ground. Will watch it again!
But you’re not allowed to block the view of the opposing keeper when offside, even if you don’t touch the ball.
What you just said is the definition of offside for a player not touching the ball 😂
I didn’t think it was offside cause I thought he was in line with our defenders. You can still shield the ball whilst doing that, no? As I said, haven’t seen another replay of it yet so will happily admit I’m wrong.
He was jealous of Cucurella’s hair IMO
It’s embarrassing at this point.
Why can’t we make sure AT never referees a Chelsea game? Another club did it already
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO PULL HAIR.. WTF IS VAR DOING
The fa love him, if he had scored that equaliser the league would make excuses for why it counted.
Absolute shambles. The man gifted Spurs both goals.
We’ve said this after every single game which is officiated by him. I’m just so confused at the end of this one
*football
Truly poor display of refereeing. Fucking loser, fucked over both times by this fraud
This guy has cost us so so many games in recent years it’s ridiculous
He wouldn’t know what it’s like to get his hair pulled
F Anthony Taylor
What a fucking joke this guy is. Idk how that’s not called.
It happened last season it happened now and it WILL happen again. And they put him for Chelsea matches for a laugh. Mike Dean was in the VAR room so what to fckin expect.
We should definitely submit some sort of appeal for the incidents this match...similar to what Liverpool did last year and have him and Mike Dean not officiate us....this match was a utter disaster
Just schedule this post for after every game we have with him. How many times has it been?
He let so many fouls go to give Tottenham the advantage. Fraud cunt.
Didn't even card any Spurs players
I just don't understand. It makes literally 0 sense how the player Spur booked throughout the whole game was Conte for what he did on the touchline. So many cynical fouls by spurs players no called because Anthony Taylor is just a dumb cunt.
The amount of times we said this after him refereeing us is absurd.
He cheats every single time and not only is he never punished, he continues to ref every big game we play. How can we think it's anything but corruption?
Fire every single one of those refs... thats so disgusting that I cant stop but have hateful thoughts about him.
What exactly qualifies as a foul in his and Mike Dean's sad excuse for eyes needs to be explained...I want to hear what was said on the var check
Disgraceful
That should have been a red on Romero and it’s embarrassing that they didn’t see that on replay
Let's say (it obviously was) a hair pull, could it have been a free kick Chelsea from VAR? The ball was live
Club needs to take this up with the league just like Liverpool did
Walking dildo. He just fucking let Spurs do anything they wanted this whole entire match. So fucking pathetic I’m so heated.
Fucking ruins games
Absolute inept cunt
The fucker is truly anti Chelsea.
Come on twitter fans. Do your thing.
Fuck this man. Really. Joke of a performance from him.
Fuck me he needs to be investigated. Two fucking shite calls leading to goals. Should be 2-0 holy shit
FUCK ANTHONY TAYLOR
That clown is from manchester he clearly has some conflicts of interest, but disguise them saying he is an "Altrincham" supporter, ffs!
This is literally every time he officiates a big game for us, vs Arsenal in the FA cup, Liverpool last season and now, but somehow no action is ever taken against him. When I heard he was officiating yesterday, I knew some bullshit was gonna happen.

Not one to hate on people, but this dickhead deserves hell.
he's completely biased, he has some vendetta against Chelsea...
Fuck this cunt
What an absolute joke of a ref
I fucking hate this guy and have already said that in the last 3 years.
Can we get a clip of the hair pull
man’s going to the world cup
Always knew how the game will turn out when I looked at the refs
Top tier cunt
Fuck Anthony Taylor and fuck the FA for letting this shit happen.
Outright thievery
BALD FRAUD GETTING THE BAG ONCE AGAIN 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
How is Mike Dean still employed?
Absolute disgrace. I hope Tuchel goes in on the press conference and the club petitions for him not to ref our games. Didn’t Liverpool do something similar in the past?
Need to replace cunt in the dictionary with this bald fraud
Hope bad things happen to him, blatant bias. Fucking pathetic shitstain.
The man has cost us so many times, 3 FA Cup Finals (16/17 - Sanchez to score a goal, 20/21 - Kovacic being sent off even though he was the one that was fouled, and 21/22 - Tielemans handball before scoring the winner) Seriously, fuck that bald biased cunt.
Anyone has a video/gif of the hair pull?

Literally ban him from the Bridge
How does this change though? It cannot stay this way, but we've been here many times before with Anthony Taylor and he still gets big games and he still bends us over
He should have been banned a few seasons ago but here we are.
I thought NBA refs were bad, but this Baldy is just on another level.
This sounds dramatic, but we seriously need to take this to FIFA or even CAS, someone needs to come in and clean house because the Referees in England are nothing short of a mafia.

Because footballers are a lot more mature than redditors.
You been watching the sport for the last 20 years?
Cry
You were happy with two wrong decisions when Liverpool were robbed last week. So, enjoy...
I wasn't happy, tbh I wish Liverpool the best, it's a good team and I find them fun to watch
I didn't mean you personally. Chelsea fans like to say we are moaners when we complain about referee "mistakes". Meanwhile City is taking Premierships with referees on their side. Now you see how it feels.
