WSL Chelsea (H) 08/10/23:

Why didn't Taylor take off hemp before she was sent off? That seemed like a mental decision and proved to be minutes later. Great effort from city, chelsea looked crap.

How the ref is playing until almost 113 minutes with 8 minutes added time is baffling. 45 minutes warrants 8, then 8 warrants a further 5. Makes sense...

It's another aspect of manipulating a result!

I would have locked the officials changing room and said we had lost the key.

They might be still in there now, waiting until everyone has gone home before they sneak out.

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.

Yer best defender and best attacker red carded as we rename the stadium. Funny old game, isn't it!

BBC saying Chelsea earn a draw….

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Thought there was only 8 mins added ..

A minimum of 8 mins, but as CFC only got an equaliser inside the eight the ref thought it appropriate to add 50 FUCKIN' PERCENT PLUS on the minimum!

Here’s one…

Was that refereeing performance worse than the one against Spurs in 2021 with the handball goal?

If so, hats off to her, she’s done the impossible

True

It is. It may well give us a huge boost in the long run. To not lose to the country’s best team with a player less for an hour and 2 for 20 must galvanise the spirit.

No doubt they’ll tone down the bookings now that they demonstrated that they’ve clamped down on time wasting and dissent.

Yeah posted earlier it’s not just the men’s team they try and want to screw over ..

Kennedy was down for a while before the corner we conceded and then the goal added on more time.

It shouldn’t have been another 4-5 mins though. That was simply the ref being pissed off with us for doubting her competence.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

I never watch the full match replay but when it comes up I am gonna see just how long Alex G took over the free kick. If PL goalkeepers were getting booked for that amount of time wasting one or two would be sent off each week, and the majority of them playing for the opposition at The Etihad.

26 seconds apparently.
