I don’t think we can really have any complaints about the red cards.

Players know that the officials are clamping down on time-wasting, though 26 seconds is marginal. And having been booked for dissent Lauren should have known better than to pull an opponent's shirt.

The yellows for dissent were stupid. Once the first had been given, they should have been smarter and kept their mouths shut.

 

[give it to gordon]

It seems the commenters are glossing around the ref. In fact ignored it

 

[moomba]

What a tremendous, gutsy performance by our team.

Taylor remarkably restrained under the circumstances.

He was but I do wish he called the ref out. That performance wasn’t acceptable and it needs to be highlighted.

The decision to keep Kennedy on when she had cramp was poor from Taylor, if she had been taken off before we would not have been down to 8 and might have survived.Still, great effort

Let's see how many times players get booked for time wasting in the 1st half in similar circumstances.

I'm thinking absolutely fucking zero.

There’s always one.

Even the BBC and Chelsea lot were shocked and don’t think it was fair.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

An unbelievable performance in the circumstances. So unlucky to concede a scabby goal.

Hope we have enough players to start with 11 in the next game.

Oh yes we fucking can. Would a ref top team have suffered that and how often will the same be applied in future,
I can answer myself “no” and “never”

Phenomenal effort from City that

This should be the story of the game.
