I was checking the BBC site during the game and it definitely showed a yellow for Ralls for most of the match - but then later deleted it!Quote:

Presumably there's some ref's report that gets published afterwards to clear up things like this.Quote:

Sounds like it was given to Grant, but I didn't even notice him kicking the ball away - as the officials have been told to clamp down on that this season, I suppose that's fair enough.Quote:

It was Grant booked for shooting after the whistle for the first incident and the Norwich player for some reason on the second. Maybe for suggesting that Ralls get booked but don’t think Ralls got a yellow. Was clear on the broadcast who she booked for the first one and absolutely no clue what happened for the second.
Let’s be honest, pretty supportive of women’s football overall but she was the worst ref I’ve seen unfortunately. There must be better than that out there.
We’ve had worse
I think she was being too technical where most experienced refs would have given the easy option ie a goal kickQuote:

She was terrible.
Madley was worse though.
I thought she booked Grant for taking a shot a second after the whistle which was harsh but the CCFC commentators said Ralls was given a yellow for the tackle where he didn’t make any contact.
It was a big step up for her and she must have been nervous.
I wonder if the increase of the pace of play had an effect because I noticed her being in the way of players in midfield a few times.
I didn't like the chant of she's going to cry in a minute.
Thought that was a backward step.
Now we have broken the shackle of the top level pro game needs to be basically the same as parks, isn't it time that the 4th official earned some of their coin by telling the stadium infromation system (big screen operators) who and why cards were given.
Cardiff- Grant- Kicking the ball away with a yellow card screen rotating with the teams line ups
We used to have the teams and little card symbols against their name
They had the teams with subs made and yellow cards on big screen at Stoke
I think she was pedantic in giving Ralls a yellow, don't think he heard the whistle[/QUOTE]
Ralls did not touch the player in replay - shocking decision:facepalm:

It looks like Ralls was not given a yellow card. Grant was. The BBC (and some audio commentators) thought Ralls had got it - and the BBC were showing a yellow against his name on the match blog for a while - but it looks like that was corrected later.
