Just seen the highlights - very clear foul. Shocked our players didn’t appeal. |
Our players are thick though so not all that surprising. |  | | |

She did well. Booked Billing and Armstrong for dissent though not others but can’t give what you don’t see. Maybe it was an easy game to ref anyway- maybe she ensured it was.
Not related to her but the cynical foul on Armstrong at the end should be a red IMO. I saw one very similar for Millwall I think given as a red but 99% are yellow. Would be “endangering the opponent” for me. |
she did'nt have the balls to give the red. | |

Thought the ref had a very good game. Correct with most of her decisions and managed the game well.
I loved that she booked Billings for trying to get one of our players booked waving an imaginary card. Also thought the added time was about right (3 mins first half, 7 mins second half).
Could do with more refs of her calibre in the Championship. |  | | |

The assistant on the Stan Bowls side was awful and didn't give the ref any support. Couple of clear corners that he didn't signal so she just guessed and gave as goal kicks. From one of these, she booked Armstrong for questioning the obviously wrong decision.
And at one point there were 2 balls on the pitch, in fact a Bournemouth player kicked both of them as he ran forward and the ref played on. The game should have been stopped.
She bottled the red card challenge - it was dangerous, from behind and no intention to win the ball.
Thought the ref gave Bournemouth several free kicks cos their players threw themselves to the floor. In comparison Armstrong was being pushed and shirt pulled lots but nothing given.

Playing on with two balls on the pitch was quite odd, never seen that before |  | | |

I think the Bournemouth player actually swapped them over in that moment you know, kicked off the one we were playing with and carried on with the new one.
Basically referee's only real mistake. Armstrong one was orange I guess, I didn't think it was a particularly controversial decision not to get a red out for that. | | | |

I thought she did really well and let the game flow. You barely noticed her, which is how it should be. |  |

As long as the officials are competent and unbiased, I couldn't care less about their gender. |  |

Yeah my gripe wasn’t the decision to give yellow but that a yellow is standard for that. Everyone knows it’s going to happen, it’s pre-meditated and massively hinders the attacking team.
Would also have retired Colback five years ago if a red was given for it and we wouldn’t be stuck paying the useless prick five figures a week to not play. | | | |

When I said that it was an easy game to referee, I meant it as a compliment.
It was easy because she controlled the match & the players. Just like a good referee (I've not seen many of these!) should.
By the laws of the game, playing on with two balls on the pitch was wrong, but it helped the flow as all that would have happened was a dropped ball to the Bournemouth player. I thought this was wrong in law, but correct in common sense! | | | |

What is the law for two balls on pitch, out of interest?
If it has to stop play, what's to stop a ball boy "accidentally" kicking a ball onto the pitch when an opposition striker goes clean through on goal? |  | | |

I did see a clip from a dutch game recently where the keeper came charging miles out of his goal, cleared a ball into touch, the opponent tried to take a quick throw in and put a teamate through on the now open goal, so the keeper picked a ball up from off the field and threw it on to stop the play. Smart, cynical. Yellow card. | | | |

If the 2nd ball had been on the pitch but nowhere near play, fair enough, but in this instance, the Bournemouth player actually kicks both balls - play had to be stopped.
The ref was quick enough to stop play when a Bournemouth player went down holding his leg in the first half - they had a drop ball as they had possession but the difference was, their original possession was a player under pressure from Paul Smyth, whereas they then ended up with a drop ball under no pressure.
Certainly, not the worst ref we've seen recently but still wasn't great and fell into the trap most premier refs fall into, in these sort of cup games, favouring the premier league team . | |
