Anthony Taylor not given Premier League game after showing record number of yellow cards last weekend

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5773153/2024/09/17/anthony-taylor-referee-yellow-cards/

Anthony Taylor will not referee a Premier League fixture this weekend after issuing the most yellow cards in top-flight history during Chelsea’s clash against Bournemouth last Saturday.

Despite not being put on refereeing duties for any of the 10 matches in matchweek five, Taylor will be the fourth official for Ipswich Town’s trip to Southampton on Saturday and Brighton & Hove Albion’s match against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), the body overseeing officiating in English football, clarified that no referee officiates every matchweek, as they rotate between refereeing, serving as fourth officials and handling video assistant referee (VAR) duties.

Last Saturday’s match between Bournemouth and Chelsea saw 14 players shown a yellow card at the Vitality Stadium, as well as head coaches Andoni Iraola and Enzo Maresca. Despite the flurry of cautions, no players were sent off. Six Bournemouth players received a yellow card, while eight from Chelsea were also booked.

Taylor was subjected to abuse online following the game with the Premier League now looking into particularly threatening messages and the PGMOL offering their support.

GO DEEPER

Behold the Premier League's worst-behaved match ever: We recap all 14 bookings

A record number of 65 yellow cards were shown in the Premier League on matchweek four.

On Sunday, Australian referee Jarred Gillett issued seven yellow cards during the first half of the north London derby between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, only booking one player after the break.

Taylor, meanwhile, was promoted to the Select Group panel of referees in 2010, allowing him to referee Premier League matches. The 45-year-old has also officiated major finals including the 2015 League Cup and the FA Cup in 2017 and 2020.

Taylor’s international career took off in 2013 when he became a FIFA-listed referee, enabling him to referee UEFA and FIFA matches, including the Super Cup in 2020 and the Nations League Final in 2021.

What are the odds that his next big game will be one of ours.

Palace will be devastated if they don't win this. Man Utd a team they should clearly be beating at home.

Typical Utd, bought the ref and only manage to absolutely steal a 0-0, that club is totally finished and at this point it is kind of embarrassing for the PL tbh

Manure are a truly dire watch

horrific, negative football and cynical thuggery

they have become 2016 Burnley

and Palace miss the hell out of Olise

Yes, but their center D already looks better with DeLigt in.

the most shocking of the matches so far was how bad Newcastle looks. Football of the 90s in today’s world.

A bit soon to be using standings imo.

From what I saw today, they are irrelevant and even spurs will pass the hem in the coming weeks.
