JUST WIN! ( A Shady Unsafe space Match thread)

Is there a prize for correctly guessing which one?

Yes. Yes they have.

Jesus C is this actually true fuck me.

PGMOL have fucked it, right?

A quick scan of a Chelsea Reddit sub tells me they are equally, if not more, displeased at Taylor reffing the game than we are.

Either that or they're all a bit predisposed to DonnyShadyism anyway and seem to think Taylor officiating the last thing conspiring against them and all but confirms not getting Champions League.

I'm trying to remember Taylor's charge sheet. Ive got:
Not awarding any of the 3 pens at Everton last season.
Not sending Downes off for ABH on MGW.
In the same game giving Saints a free kick when their player fell over about 2 yards away from MGW.
Advising the ref to send MGW off at Brighton.

What else have we got?

<Tricky> He's a referee. All refs are shit. <Tricky>

Something to do with Russians?

Meanwhile the ass(istant) VAR is Constantine Hatzidakis, who I believe is the one who comes from a family of Panathinaikos supporters and who incorrectly flagged for offside just before Sturridge was brought down for a potential penalty at Muff in the promotion season.

It's funny - tensions high because of officiating/VAR fcukwittery.
Last time we were charged for the same offence was because tensions were high because of officiating fcukwittery.
It's almost like there's a theme - ref the games well and the players respond, but ref them badly and we can rake some money in from fining the clubs when their players inevitably react.

That's Azerbaijan.

And Wichita.

Oh, I see.

Turns out I have merged Anthony Taylor and Stuart Atwell in my head and cannot remember who did what or why, except Atwell is the Luton fan.
I don't know, or want to know, what they even look like.

I presume Atwell is the only way this could have been worse

Taylor was the ref at Everton last season and Atwell the VAR. I believe Atwell is at Aston VARla on Sunday.

Taylor is the worst. Hopefully he hates Cheatski more than us because he really does have it in for MGW. Or he is just a useless bald cunt who has no idea why everyone hates the former prison guard with ideas above his station. Cheatski are moaning minnies though so a couple of reds for them would do us nicely. Marc Cook-ah-choo-piella for one. And of Course palmer because he's ace and Chelsea cannot function without him.

Chicago: Going all out for success.
