MikeO Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 10 hours ago, Romey 1878 said: The officiating in the women’s game is even worse than the men’s. It needs a hell of a lot of investment. Watching the first penalty back in slo-mo it gets even more ridiculous, ref doesn't appear to give it for the "offence" at all and starts off following play. Then, Chelsea striker trips over the leg the defender has used to clear the ball, and the penalty is given. Neither incident was an offence of any description, but to give it for the second one, as she appears to do, is beyond laughable.

He was first booked when we were trying to make a substitution when he noticed the official had put the wrong number up, so he was trying to point out their mistake. Then he received a second yellow for shouting instructions to our players . MikeO and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 The two penalties and then Sorensen getting sent off (you see him say "I was talking to my players"). Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StevO Posted February 6 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 6 I took my 3 year old daughter and 5 year old niece to the game against Leicester and my daughter enjoyed it. She’s been asking can we go again, we were going to the West Ham game in a couple of weeks too. Gearing her up for the men’s game against West Ham at the end of the month. We got photos with Wheeler and the legend that is Toni Duggan. Even after a defeat the girls were all really happy to have photos and chat with the kids who came to watch the game. Made a real impression on my daughter. Also, Brosnan in goal is fucking terrifying!! Very commanding voice and doesn’t mind clearing a player out of the way.
