Although not a red card if you are not attempting to go for the ball but impeding the keeper from doing so then it’s a foul and the goal should be disallowed.
Could argue that Taylor was purely standing his ground, especially if that was anywhere else on the pitch
Yes but by doing so you are impeding the keeper.
Is that a red card offence though?
Was Taylor sent off for that or his part in the melee?
Whilst laying on the ground, he kicked out at one of their players.
Not sure based on watching the replay several times that the correct decision was made. I certainly think Accrington should have had Sykes and one other sent off...

So, by your logic, if you are standing somewhere in the box but the opposition goalkeeper wants to be where you are, if you don't move out of his way you are committing a foul? Not sure I agree......

Did he? How come there are no pictures or videos of this then?

The referee sent him off as he felt (rightly or not) Taylor committed an offence. Taylor's leg definitely moved in a way that MIGHT have been deliberate. It will be upheld. I don't think it SHOULD be but I do think it will.
There's a CAFC fan on twitter who has recently posted that his wife has passed away. Lyle's response to the poor man has been first class. Sounds like a true Gent.

Yeah I saw this... Was going to post the tweets but felt it was too personal between the fan and Lyle
Shows what a nice bloke he is though when he says: If there is anything you need, just let me know
You just know that Lyle truly means it when he says that!!

Lyle is a top bloke who plays with honesty. He seems to me to be much stronger than many defenders he plays against and he terrorises many. I think he is hard done by sometimes as you are allowed to be stronger. Players have to really battle against him it it creates an atmosphere more likely to generate bookings, both ways.
Was a lot of nothing on Saturday, but it all kicked off and he wasn't going to escape it because the officials saw it and when they do that, it doesn't get overturned. If they decide, even ridiculously, that it is a red, it is a red. You get off if what they saw didn't happen.
He did flick his foot towards the keeper. I wouldn't say it was a red card because it was so soft. But seems it doesn't amount to "A clear and obvious error" on the referees part.

Now waiting to hear about the stampy twins.
The referee didn't have a clue what was going on. He just saw the ruck going on and sent off Taylor and the keeper as he had told them both off prior to the corner and had to do something to get a grip on the game again. Taylor's tiny dab at opposition with his foot is all the fig leaf the FA needed to support the ref, which they will always try to do.
All that said, Taylor might need to rethink his antics at corners. While not exactly offences the refs always seem to decide on the side of the keeper and we've now had 2 goals disallowed in recent weeks.

Hopefully gets overturned if not we work with what we have got
https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/competitions/league-one/11612171/charlton-1-0-accrington but don't blink it is a quick flick with his leg when he is first on the ground before being surrounded in the melee.
But is it as an intended kick or trying to free himself?
I am now getting a feeling the FA won't see it favourably.
Are we possibly risking a potential frivolous appeal?

Can’t think that the goal should stand. Hope the red cards don’t either.

Don’t break him if he does!
