Graham Poll: Anthony Taylor needs a 'rest' after his blunder in Chelsea controversy
PUBLISHED: 16:30 EST, 20 October 2013 | UPDATED: 16:30 EST, 20 October 2013
Anthony Taylor is not enjoying a good start to the season but it was not his knowledge of law that caused him to make an embarrassing mistake on Saturday. It was forgetting the fundamental advice that every referee is taught when they begin officiating: keep your eye on the ball!
With Cardiff goalkeeper David Marshall in possession, Taylor was right to jog backwards up the field.
However, as he could see that Chelsea striker Samuel Eto’o was standing alongside Marshall he should have kept a close watch on the incident. He failed to follow that basic instruction and looked away.
As soon as Eto’o kicked the ball, when Marshall bounced it, a free-kick should have been given. The law was changed a long time ago to state that the ball is in the goalkeeper’s possession when he is in the act of clearing the ball, even when bouncing it.
Of course, Taylor’s assistant Andy Garratt should have indicated the infringement, but he also missed it and the goal wrongly stood.
It appears that the officials then compounded their error after the match by making the implausible excuse that Garratt had seen the incident and thought Marshall had dropped the ball.
