WSL Chelsea (H) 08/10/23:

Bent referee, who'd have thought it.

Phenomenal effort from the girls today. Can understand Hemp not being subbed as she was better suited to that wing-back role than Kelly. A little surprised that Houghton wasn't brought on at some point though, for her organistional skills if nothing else.

Bent referee, who'd have thought it.

Is just me or did the Ref have a bit of a smirk on her face when walking off to all the boos at the end of the match ?

As Taylor said, we now need to see consistency from the referees.

We didn't even see consistency in the same game FFS.

It was an absolutely appalling refereeing performance.

I think your on the wind up.

 

[cleavers]

A very encouraging performance by the players allowed to stay on the pitch.

The rest was an utter disgrace.

She had what looked like a blue kit underneath her ref one, not dissimilar to a David Mellor bedroom one.

Brilliant effort.

For those saying getting booked for dissent is stupid - it is, but we don't actually know what that dissent even was. It might have been 'aggressive walking'.

None of them seemed to be overly complaining, probably more asking what was going on, or maybe saying there was no need. Players have to be able to speak to refs, this one seemed to start booking players because they looked at her.

It was an embarrassing refereeing performance. Chelsea should be embarrassed at scraping a point considering how unbalanced the scales were.The WSL should be embarrassed that this ref is one of theirs.

Seems to me she made a rash decision, lost control of the game and instead of trying to diffuse the situation, she doubled down and booked anyone challenging her opinion.

 

[blue whippet]

A gutsy performance from the team to hold out for so long after going down to 10 and then 9 players. God only knows what that ref had been drinking / smoking before the game. We were dead on our feet at the end which isn't a surprise. Feel gutted for them conceding so late on.

 

[remember arthur mann]

That’s ridiculous sending Kennedy off for 30 secs when they’re defending a corner and already down to 9

Noticed after this event, the Chelsea player was allowed to stay on whilst recovering from cramp.
