At one point during Sunday’s League Cup Final between Chelsea and Tottenham, Spurs defender Danny Rose turned to referee Anthony Taylor and mouthed “you fucking cunt.” 

That kind of language has become acceptable for officials in football to face and there would be some who argue that they deserve it.

Giving penalties when players have clearly dived. Chalking off goals for offsides when the whole world can see that the left-back played the striker on. The referee is scum and that’s the way it always will be.
