Anyone know why there was a drop ball after the Norwich corner (which went straight out of play)
No one knew what the hell was going on:yikes::yikes:
Apparently, she thought the ball didn't enter the field of play, so was going to order the corner to be retaken...
but, the ball had to be on the field of play for the corner to be taken, so she backed down on that, then (we suspect) that she thought she had to do something, so gave a drop ball instead of a GK.
I think.
Should women be refereeing mens football?
She hogged the midfield more than the players.
Linesman didn't help.
Questions over the Bowler not given pen
and linesman not in line for third goal.
Nice arse though.
If good enough why not.
Is she the result of some fast track to hit targets?
To be fair I don't think she was even one of the worst we've had this season so she's probably just fine. Wasn't the reason we lost.
Few odd decisions but when isn't there. The corner to drop ball thing I couldn't understand but she clearly knows the rules far better than I, so I'm sure there's a reason for it. I just couldn't understand what she had given.
She was poor but just as bad as the many inept referees we normally get.
I've looked at the rules, and as far as I can see, the only reason to retake the kick ( what she initially seemed to want)would be if a defender was less than 10 yards from the corner. Can't see any reason for a drop.
Don’t go blaming the referee because your team gets beat. That is scraping the barrel and shielding your teams poor performance over the duration of the game.
We have had loads of poor ref's.
She was no worse than the others
I think she was pedantic in giving Ralls a yellow, don't think he heard the whistle
No, that was Bobby Madley.
I wondered if she was nervous because it was the first Championship game she’d taken charge of, but she’s done a few games at this level and quite a few in the lower divisions

I’ve no problem with women refereeing men’s games, but she was poor and I would think her assessment will not make for good reading.
Ref was poor but put in a better performance than many of the "footballers" on that pitch today!
she was useless and didn't address timewasting from Norwich gk for starters. don't care whether she was male, female, trans or a donkey she was not up to the job!
I've noticed in a few games this season
on a quick break the linesman cant keep up with play.
Ralls wasn't booked - she booked the Norwich player for choppsing.
Another game like that and I can't see her refereeing in the Championship again.
Didn't seem to be in control of the game. Quite a few obvious fouls and shirt pulls that she didn't seem to see. Still,same for both sides. We didn't seem to be up for it second half for some reason
Ralls got booked for the foul.
It was poor. First "foul" of the game. Wasn't even a foul.
She had no control of this game. How their left back didn't get at least of a card after the elbow
Refs can be good but mostly poor. This one was no different. Not the reason we lost but felt we should have had a penalty. We defeated ourselves today. We didn’t play after half time.
