Walcott followed his run. But suddenly the Assistant Ref Stuart Burt waved his flag for a foul by Janmaat. There was no foul contact made Janmaat on Walcott.

Ramsey failed to intercept the ball but made no contact at all with Colback who then threw himself down to the ground pretending to be fouled.

But this also means that Colback should have been given a second yellow card for diving and thus he should have been sent off by now, which did not happen.

Sissoko’s extended left arm caught Monreal in the face who running in from behind. This should have been a foul for Arsenal but no foul was given.
This also should have been a yellow card against Sissoko for committing three fouls in a short period of 6 minutes. This was an act of persistent fouling. But no yellow card was shown by the referee.

| 62:45 | Robert Elliot (Newcastle) | It took Robert Elliot a total of 54 seconds to take a free kick after the foul happened inside the Newcastle’s half. The normal time for a Goalkeeper to take a kick during this match is between 25-35 seconds. First he was deliberately approaching the ball slowly and then after collecting the ball he placed the ball way ahead of the position of the foul which the referee indicated. This was clearly an act of time wasting by Elliot. He should have been given a yellow card but was not given any card by the referee.
LAW 12 FOULS AND MISCONDUCT PAGE 127 Delaying the Restart of Play Referees must caution players who delay the restart of play by tactics such as: • Taking a free kick from the wrong position with the sole intention of forcing the referee to order a retake • Appearing to take a throw-in but suddenly leaving it to one of his team-mates to take • Kicking the ball away or carrying it away with the hands after the referee has stopped play • Excessively delaying the taking of a throw-in or free kick • Delaying leaving the field of play when being substituted • Provoking a confrontation by deliberately touching the ball after the referee has stopped play

| 67:09 | Daryl Janmaat (Newcastle) | Monreal had cleared the ball inside the Arsenal’s half and Janmaat was supposed to take the throw-in for Newcastle. Janmaat stood there and refused to move for the ball. The ball boy then threw the ball towards his direction and he still was not picking up the ball. Then Walcott tried to pass him the ball and Janmaat ignored the ball. This a deliberate act of time wasting.

Taylor in the house so what do we get? The usual stuff.
But to be fair not in the first half. Only 2 errors from him and one from the assistant. He ignored a foul on Oxlade-Chamberlain but when the falling down Ox made the fouler fall he got the decisions against him. Maybe he wanted to make up for that and didn’t give The Ox a yellow card when the brought Peyez down. A missed offside but that was all that could be said about the first half. A correct yellow card against Colback was already a big surprise. So a rather good score of 78.5%. When he does good, we will say so. Weighted it still is a 75% score.
On to the second half. And that was something else. Apart from the assistant giving a foul against Janmaat that we don’t know what for. But then he started to give fouls against Arsenal for unknown reasons. Colback diving behind the back of the ref(!!!!!) but he still managed to give a foul against Arsenal. Colback should have been booked for this dive and that should have been his second.
Then Taylor gave a goal kick when a Giroud shot was clearly deflected by Mbemba…. Yes this was the Taylor we have learned to know in the past seasons…
Sissoko was making foul after foul since the start of the second half but the ref didn’t give a foul even after 3 fouls in 12 minutes. A bit later he gave a free kick against Koscielny when Mitrovic dived. The latter should have been booked for diving.
It went on an on with each decision he could make against Arsenal being given. Elliot then started a bit of time-wasting helped a bit by the ref of course when it took him almost a full minute to kick a free kick. 54 seconds to be precise. Taylor didn’t show a yellow card.
Tiote committing his 5th foul in the match and still no yellow card… Sissoko his 5th foul in the second half… again no card for persistent fouling. Remember the outrage when Coquelin made 4 fouls in 90 minutes and wasn’t sent off… No outrage this time in the media. Thauvin threw himself to the floor when Monreal had him in a corner and couldn’t go anywhere. Taylor saw it as a foul… it was a dive ref, should have been a yellow against Thauvin.
It was a typical Taylor performance. Trying to prevent an Arsenal win by not giving us what we deserved and inventing fouls in favour of Newcastle to stop us or put us out our rhythm.
Nothing he could do about the goal.
The score in the second half was 44.4%. If we put weight on it it drops to 39.2%. Tayloresque.
Over the whole 90 minutes his score was 54%. And if we put weight on it the score goes down to 47.7%.

Insult of the Day
Thou whoreson zed! Thou unnecessary letter! (King Lear)
- Supposing the world reported in the media had nothing at all to do with the actual world around you…
- Arsenal in the 70s Part 17 – the summer of 76. New manager. New superstar.
And two more anniversaries
- 19 January 1980: Arsenal 2 Derby 0, the start of eight without defeat and 19 with only one defeat. Brady and Young scored. The crowd of 22,091 however showed that supporters were becoming disheartened by the style of play.
- 19 January 1990 – Colin Pates signed for Arsenal. A Chelsea star – having played nearly 300 league games for them, he never quite made it at Arsenal under George Graham, and moved on to Brighton. He later went into teaching
Just a disgrace, as usual. Fortunately it wasn’t a really dirty or contentious game.
We’ve (likely) had at least one Newcastle supporter read this (hence the one dislike). That person is likely to think that of course this is a biased report, as it was found at an Arsenal supporter website. They will have completely missed that the first fault was an Arsenal player doing something, and that there are other occurrences in the report.
But, it was a nice report none the less.
This performance by Taylor was worthy of a petition!
Second half in particular it looked as if he was trying to tilt the match against us. This particular Riley clone (like several others) is not fit the referee an egg and spoon race!
Seeing the report, I would say that the first half score is mainly the result of Newcastle playing cleanly, consequently Taylor had very few decisions to make and couldn’t really have an impact.
But McClaren probably reminded his players at half time that against Arsenal, they were allowed to play dirty, waste time…
That will probably be the person that called us names and didn’t get published who pushed the dislike button…
Good point, Vince. I can well imagine that McLaren said exactly that. And Taylor obliged.
Mike Riley must have sneaked into the ref’s dressing room before half time and put a pill in his tea, otherwise how can a ref have a match of two such diametrally opposed halves? He can be competent, but the orders he and the others receive are awful and cripple the game.
Sorry didn’t see Vince’s comment above (no page refresh). His theory is the rational one 🙂
Good report as usual Usama & Walter. I’m sure Tony would have a one line version that would summarise most PigMob officiated matches.
This systematic approach shows up the media & the FA & all those sad bastards who claim to follow football. I would love Alan Sugar to endorse the Untold Referee reviews (I’ll tweet him).
