He’s now the chancellor of Sheffield Hallam University.
Arthur, I was at the game. I have also watched MOTD2. I have literally no idea what on earth you are talking about when you say players were “throwing themselves to the ground a lot”. You’ve given one example of a foul on Neco Williams.
And even if they were, you appear to be suggesting that because of it, you’re happy that two serious and dangerous fouls (above in that Twitter link) go unnoticed and unpunished. That’s a completely ridiculous stance to take, but you’re entitled to your opinion.
Not suggesting anything
It was very clear that players from both sides throwing themselves to the ground very easily
There was another occasion when Anderson grazed a guys face and the guy screamed as if he was shot
Like I’ve been saying £80m minimum.
Throw that hand grenade in there, and close door.

In a previous post here, in a discussion about bad refereeing decisions, you stated
“The players didn’t also help themselves yesterday with the amount of squealing and throwing themselves to the ground both sides were doing”
That reads like you’re saying that because players were play-acting (which I disagree with anyway) it in some way leads to the referee making bad decisions and that they only have themselves to blame for that…? If that’s not what you’re saying, what are you saying exactly?
You’ve seen eight minutes or so of highlights in which you saw some fouls committed. You have made the incorrect conclusion that players were diving and play acting throughout the game. Are you able to take it from someone who sat and watched the entire 104 minutes of the game that you have got a false impression?
What the highlights do not show is a catalogue of refereeing mistakes by Anthony Taylor. They showed neither of the two horrendous fouls on MGW, or any of the others. It was not a simple case of human error, making a couple of mistakes. The man lost control of the game. He’s either corrupt and has a vendetta against MGW, given what he did in the Brighton game - or he’s incompetent. Take your pick.
But I know it’s pointless arguing with you. You will double down on your assertion that everyone was diving and squealing, despite not seeing the full game. And you will continue to dismiss disgusting fouls like those two I linked to as just being mistakes any referee could have made. So….have a good night I guess.
Do you get half as much pleasure of Liverpool doing well compared to the glee you get from talking and spreading negative opinions related to Man Utd?
As I said - the players don’t help themselves
That doesn’t mean that Taylor didn’t mess up as I had already stated in a previous posts
Refs make mistakes , they give horrific bad decisions - it’s not just started
Forest aren’t the first to get refs decisions going against them and they won’t be the last
But it still very much a fact that the players have not helped them and don’t help themselves in games by the amount of times they are throwing themselves to the ground with little or no contact
these sort of discussions have been going on for years and guess what the answer is has always been
It happens , get on with etc etc
in any game there will be one ref making a mistake and 11 players trying everything to gain advantage and that’s even down to claiming corners and throws in they know aren’t there
When the players and that’s all players start playing with respect then nothing will change
