Kenny Dalglish has blasted UEFA and branded them a bunch of incompetents as he hit out at the shocking treatment of English referee Anthony Taylor following the Europa League Final in midweek.
Taylor was on the end of a foul-mouthed rant from Roma boss Jose Mourinho following the Italian side’s defeat to Sevilla on penalty kicks before Taylor and his family were subjected to abuse as they made their way home through Budapest airport the day after the game. Dalglish slammed organisers UEFA, referencing last season’s shambolic organisation at the Champions League final when fans of his old club Liverpool suffered terrifying congestion outside the stadium.
And writing in his column for the Sunday Post, Dalglish said: “What Seville have done in the Europa League, winning it seven times, is quite remarkable but what happened in the aftermath caught my attention. The abuse that referee Anthony Taylor and his family suffered was disgraceful. They shouldn’t have been subjected to such vile abuse.
