Anthony Taylor will be in charge for our fast approaching Capital One Cup Final against Chelsea.
This has to be a concern for us since, Mr.Taylor was the referee involved in the controversial match between Southampton and Chelsea. Jose Mourinho's recent fury at referees reached new heights and by coincidence Mr.Taylor was the man who helped set it all off, will be back in Mourinho's firing line at Wembley on Sunday.
Anthony Taylor, is the man who booked Cesc Fabregas for diving in Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Southampton in December. The 36-year-old official apologised to Mourinho for his mistake after the Portuguese coach slammed Taylor and said he would be 'ashamed' of the decision.
This also led to Mourinho later claiming that there was a 'campaign to influence referees' after he did not give penalty in 1-1 draw at Southampton. He was fined £25,000 by the FA for his words at St Mary's.
Taylor apologised to Mourinho for missing the foul on Cesc Fabregas.
Now the same referee is in charge of the Capital One Cup Final !
This is worrying for us, as it will most certainly have a bearing on Mr.Taylor's mind if and when he has to sanction a major decision against Mourinho's men come Sunday.
Mr.Taylor's reputation and future has been put in the line of fire by whomsoever decided to appoint him for this final. The match has come too soon, for him to be in charge on Sunday, in such controversial circumstances.
