Ref was awful but

[2b2bdoo]

Anyone know why there was a drop ball after the Norwich corner (which went straight out of play)

[theclaw]

No one knew what the hell was going on

I was hoping someone could at least guess but no one has a clue.

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.

[dandywarhol]

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.

Interesting. It was weird as she did blow quite early. Very odd as obviously it has to be in play. So poor.

I don’t see why not, if they are good enough then yes. She was appealing 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.

Worst ref we’ve had this season imo.
Because she was shit, not because she’s a woman.

[bluebirds17]

She was poor but just as bad as the many inept referees we normally get.

That was the worst refereeing performance I have seen for a very very long time. It wasnt that she missed so much it was that she didnt seem to know what the bloody rules are. Nice experiment but NEVER again.

Yep

[bobh]

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.

[Armitage Shanks]

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

How did your team get on

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.

Don’t think any or many are? This is a question about the rules. Thanks for the input tho.

I’m confused by this Ralls yellow card thing, sky don’t have him having a card at all. I thought he was booked for a foul (which wasn’t a foul). Others said Grant was booked for kicking the ball away.

It had to be Ralls booked for that “foul”, who else could it have been?

You dopey twat, you obviously thought the heading to the thread was someone from the valleys talking to a mate!!

I know, but then people on Twitter were telling me he wasn’t booked and sky showed he didn’t have a card. So I started to question it, did I imagine the card lol.

Then I don’t remember Grands booking.
