Controversial Refereeing AGAIN in Women's Game! 

Got a second yellow for time wasting.

I do fully agree with your vision of the game and refs.

she got a red card for time wasting this is completley wrong your wrong

​@@abbielester5419 The red came because the player had already received a yellow earlier in the match. The time wasting offense was a second yellow, and upon receiving two yellows in the same match, the player also receives a red and is disqualified out of the game. Hope that clears up your confusion some.

​@@abbielester5419actually, she got a yellow card for delaying the restart, she just had a yellow already. The rule is simple, she shouldve seen it coming

There something called nuance. Not everything has to be by the book. If such fouls were given cards in the men's game, the match wouldn't even last more than 20mins

Assemblies on the pitch should not be allowed, mainly after scoring a goal I don't know why every one is invited to attend a scoring event (both in men's and women's matches). Even substitue players enter the field which is punishable if the rules are correctly aplied (No one can enter or leave the pitch without consulting the ref. In addition the "six" second rule that keepers have to follow are seldomly applied. The entire function of a ref should be revised by the FIFA. Watch a field hockey game to get an idea. No protests there and the ball is brought immediately in play after a ref 's decision. Wating for a signal of the ref before a free kick can be taken is ridiculous.

Gareth Taylor although not a player also got booked

You clearly do not understand the function of a referee. However, the idiotic changes made by FIFA/UEFA is confusing for ref's as well as players and spectators.

No the ref did her job

Most of them not deserv a card how some one waste time in the start of the match 😂

I agree the Lauren James wasn’t even a red card.

@@eleanorsmith155idiot.

Exactly as you say ! I felt the same way as you, so I couldn't help but exclaim, " Why is that ? "@@eleanorsmith155

@@eleanorsmith155It was Hemp’s second yellow card. She got one earlier for screaming her head off at the referee. She can’t have any complaints.

One dodgy decision, the rest were perfect. Good refereeing

Made me laugh as well. Dissent. Descent. Probably sounds the same to non English speakers.

@@glseibert0825 Or maybe it's just like Trump, who thinks he's an "unpresidented" success in everything.

She got one before for kicking off at ref

@MD-mo4vi yea I know did watch the match still a ace player she is though like last week she scored twice for man city

but fans want consistency dont they . they got it this game

@iaindw1 I'm not denying that, but I think having lack of consistency adds to the thrill of a game in a way!! (However I am extremely bias as Hemp is probably my fav player, so don't take too much of this to heart 😊😁🙃)

Exactly. Nothing controversial about the refereeing. This is happening in the men's game as well. The rules are new so in time this will non topic. Nicholas Jackson got six cards (one-game suspension) and all were for dissent.

​@souixds Dissent should be allowed in football. The players are not robots. Cards should only come out if Dissent gets out of hand.

Idiot the players did, learn the rules but you would have to have functioning brain activity for that to happen, sadly that rules you out.

Afraid you’re wrong and proves you don’t know anything learn the rules sweetie or grow a spine and try reffing one yourself.

Looks like you are too weak to play football 😅

I agree, the last thing we need in the women's game is a referee that makes correct decisions

Teams don't generally start timewasting after just 35 minutes, it isn't clear Greenwood was timewasting and the referee does not appear to have given Greenwood any kind of hurry up before reaching for a card. That sending off was unjustified. Several of the dissent bookings were a direct result of this. Hemp's second yellow was harsh, especially in view of the earlier foul on Hemp by Lawrence that left Hemp injured and should clearly have resulted in a yellow card for Lawrence.

Clearly you are against Chelsea that justifies your explanation cause there’s no truth in what you saying

In some cases, probably not. Moreover, the ref was inconsistent and seemed to have a chip on her shoulder.

@@kumiellis8374 I am not against Chelsea. As far as this match is concerned, I'm a neutral. And there is truth in what I'm saying. That's why the commentators thought the red card for Greenwood was wrong. That's why current and former players (and I don't mean Manchester City players) think the red card was wrong. That's why the press coverage has been highly critical of the referee. Turning to Lawrence, you can argue that it wasn't a yellow card but you then have to explain why other, pretty much identical incidents in other matches were.

I am a Chelsea fan and this ref should never be allowed to officiate at any WSL game. A ref shouldn't show any bias toward any team, and Greenwood's second yellow was a joke. The ref didn't give any hurry up gesture and Greenwood was looking where she could play the ball to retain possession. This should be talking about how good the game between two excellent teams was and not how poor the ref was

I agree. And keep your mouths shut!

Chelsea got scare by the ref 😂

As long as players come out and explain their decisions , how they missed an easy sitter they passed left instead of passing to the right why they kept passing to back four and then back four past each other. Gk explaining how they missed an easy save. It goes both ways

@iaindw1 They do. It's called a post game press conference, lol. The players get asked why they have bad games all the time from the press. However, refs aren't held accountable. So what was your point exactly?

post game press conference. lol. yeah right-every player that makes mistakes in games and many are game changing mistakes. thety all come out and are held accountable and explain their bad mistakes 😀@@stevieg5907

It's when you go down, at a guess |-)

It's when you go down,and moan about it.

I agree

Poor little Robert doesn’t know the rules the players spoiled it by not following the rules which they choose not to follow and then argue with the ref.

@@eleanorsmith155idiot learn the rules all the cards were justified 🤡🤡🤡🤡

@@kenspedding4594you make me laugh

She was axed from refereeing a WSL today and Sunday

What's soccer?

👀😅 a lesbian score loser who is total frustrated for no having a gf.

Sorry you don’t know the rules try learning them and you might understand, oh yes from you as an armchair troll it’s always the refs fault, never the players fault.
