@bbcsport: Anthony Taylor spoke to Dan Roan after his retirement about the intense pressure and scrutiny referees face. #AnthonyTaylor #Referee #PremierLeague #Football

Sijabuliso :

Retiring was the only decision Anthony Taylor made that I agree with

RyanP :

was always a great ref that's why he was at 2 world cup great ref tayld

edgej24 :

He’ll be on podcasts every week now

Kevin :

We’ve lost a good ref in Anthony

Marlow26 :

many loathe him, I thought he was the best by a mile, you'll maybe understand when you see the inadequate refs your team gets.

Isaac Holland :

Im with you Taylor

Gary Wroe158 :

The nail on the head is where Taylor says it’s all opinionated. By giving ex-pros (players and referees) that platform to give their opinion is adding more fuel to the fire. Remove their platform and it will remove the pressure placed on every official from grass roots to the World Cup because decisions won’t be as scrutinised as they are right now.

kieran ﾒ𝟶 :

not easy being a ref man

ktn1968 :

Never saw him reffree a single good game!

MelvnnSzn :

Didn’t know he sounded like this

R W :

When he says refs are an “integral” part that’s where he loses me. It’s that type of thinking that annoys me. Not integral just part of the game

any-h0les-a-goal :

good massage bad messenger 🤣

Jonathan Ward :

Where is the full interview?

Madmartin0007 :

He’s right

shifu885 :

Off the scale??😅 While terrorizing the league week in week out?? Would’ve been nice to hear him apologize for the countless games he’s ruined,but NO he wants sympathy!!!!

MontyJohnsonIII :

this&that :

Insane people think ref’s want to make it all about them. 🤦‍♂️

JMC :

this close to the start of the season though!? 🤔

Beany652 :

Bottom line is he has bottled it and now looking at the pound signs.

Onyx :

We all know he didn’t like Chelsea and we’re happy that he retired

Hello :

Where there’s money there’s corruption

Ab Man :

I always thought he hates Arsenal or he has an agenda against us. Maybe I'm wrong but I hate him next to Michael Oliver and that Spurs fan

@vàleñtiñe789ave :

my best ref💪💪💪💪
