Disgusting comments with the keeper down getting treatment calling it a tactical timeout

That’s what it was though.

The problem is that that kind of language seems to validate it. Or at least make it seem respectable. Football is, among other things, an entertainment. And that practice is directly against that.
It's a bit different to people taking the ball over to the corner. The ball is still in play, and they are in effect saying, “Go on, then, get the ball off me. If you can.” That's arrogant, but it's still football (and I loved it when Bernardo did it against the rags). People going down for fake injuries, whether keepers or outfield players who've suddenly got cramp, are a blight on the modern game. I hate it. I don't remember seeing Ed or Stefan doing it, and I'd dislike it if they did.

Our keeper made some brilliant saves but her time wasting antics was poor and must have cost us a few minutes of added time.
This falling into the ground after every simple take has to stop.
First woman's game yesterday and enjoyed it once I moved into a quieter seat.
I have never been to a game where I have had to stand up so often to let people pass.
Good to see families and youngsters attend and enjoying the game and I was surprised by the size of the Chelsea support at their end and near me.Still a nice friendly atmosphere though.
Saw a rag at half time with a black jacket opened up and showing a black top with a rag badge on.Weirdo.
Will definitely be back.Good advert for the womans game
 
The referees in the woman's game is abysmal clueless easily swayed! A ball went out it was a goal kick but all the Chelsea players moaned at the referee and she gave the corner! I've seen players being a yard ofside given on side!

One thing with Chelsea is they have 18 top players physically stronger who go in hard all the time on our players referee let it go we have tiny pull of a shirt referee gives a free kick! Chelsea play more like a man's game than any other and why they keep winning the league and they'll win it forever more at this rate!

If it's the one I remember, she did give a goal kick, but the camera's actually showed it was a toe stopping save by Keating, and may have gone in off the post had she not touched it.

Referee couldn't have seen it, so why she changed her original decision is anyone's guess, I presume the 4th official saw the same replay, and whispered in her ear, which is not part of the rules.

Yep why didn't they whisper in her ear that the goal should stand
