Our first ever female referee?

[Yobocop 1,099]

I can’t remember another one 

I only watched the last quarter of the match but felt she handled the game really well and was spot on with all the decisions 

well done Rebecca Welch, won’t be long until she’s in the middle in the Premier league. 

[Mello Yello 2,296]

I also thought she did well....

[Ken Hairy 3,773]

Best ref I can remember us having in a long time.

[dylanisabaddog 4,931]

She was probably the best referee we've had this season. The players behaviour seemed to be better than usual with a woman in charge. 

[cambridgeshire canary 6,735]

Funny how all the Cardiff fans are saying she was awful mind

Objectively had we lost I’d still be saying she did well 

[Branston Pickle 3,661]

The ref was ok for me - some strange decisions but nothing out of the norm.  I couldn’t give two hoots if the ref is male or female so long as they are up to it. 

One thing I do dislike is this restarting with a drop ball to the keeper if something happens when a side is attacking - all it does is allow for timewasting.  Surely a better restart can be found.

You'll get a lot of support on here for something being better for having a woman in charge...

 

[Capt. Pants 4,246]

Cardiff could have had a penalty first half following a clumsy challenge by Placheta. Also gave a yellow to one of their players for a foul on Fisher which was incredibly harsh. The drop ball from our corner was strange.

The ref was OK we've had much worse but I can understand Cardiff fans being pissed as had the penalty been given 3-1 would have been a long way back.

Not surprised the Cardiff fans are saying she was awful. Listening to the commentary I think we were fortunate they don’t have VAR in the Championship as apparently Cardiff should have been awarded a penalty in the first half. Had it been given and converted I think the second half would have been a totally different story and we would have probably ended up getting thrashed 5-1

[Petriix 2,839]

It wasn't a clear-cut penalty and would have been pretty harsh for minimal contact. I thought she handled the game pretty well on the whole, but made two glaring errors: from our corner it was either a goal kick or a free kick, never a drop ball; when the ball hit her and dropped back to Norwich player the rules state it's play-on (only if possession is lost should it be a drop ball), unless they've changed the rules again recently.

Don’t think it was a pen, but seen them given (more often against us than for!)

"I can understand Cardiff fans being pissed"

I think you'll find fans get drunk before the game , rather than nipping to the bar when a decision goes against them. Even at half-time you would be lucky to neck a couple of pints, at best.

An Americanism - you'll need to get used to them.

As is referring to a toilet as a bathroom, a car as a vee hickle-  and now the hill billys are calling a route a rowt

However if it makes you feel hip and with it, then do continue

However failed to give a yellow for a terrible foul on Rowe, but then gave one for an innocuous tackle!

No. We've won. This will surely sink into obscurity. Maybe

[Nuff Said 5,145]

I thought she could have let the game run on a bit more and was too quick to stop things (like with the drop ball when it hit her) but any debatable decisions were pretty evenly shared between the two teams. If we’d lost, I might well think differently 

[ron obvious 1,505]

I thought she was very hesitant, unsure of herself & rather indecisive. Not the best traits in a referee (but, overall, I've seen worse ones).

I realise this is a woke brigade topic

Shall we just crack on with things? As a non woke individual I think pandering and giving special attention to females is part of the issue. 

There was a referee. Why the special attention?

[daly 504]

A woman’s place is in the kitchen 

Dusting, Hovering, Cleaning, Cooking waiting for her husband to come home and await all his demands

Not running round a football pitch ogling at all those finely tuned bodies and having immoral thoughts while having that whistle in her mouth

Luckily my wife has no interest in NCFC 

[daly 504]

Wait till she goes to Millwall she’ll probably wish she’d stayed at home and put the laundry on

Times have moved on. Although apparently you haven't.

Honestly.

[The Real Buh 3,444]

We just need better referees

it doesn’t matter if they are men, women, animals, robots, aliens. Just anyone better than what we currently have. 

[Olano 100]

I think she did a great job.

(And that was not a penalty. )
