Probably similar to how there's usually a thread on here about how awful the ref was when we lose but nobody says anything when we win.

[crispeduk 282]

Used to be standard to say you don’t notice a good ref. Well I tuned in late and it was quite a while before commentary mentioned the ref and much longer before I realised it was a woman in charge. Competence and personality, not gender, are the important things here, as in real life. It comes down to the quality of the individual – it might’ve been a different story yesterday if Suella Braverman was running around out there.

Norwich are worse under Delia. How many relegations? How many players sold? How much in debt? How many times failing managers given one more game? Always one more game. How many goals she given away? How many Tetteys and Skipps she got? How much she wasted on compensation payments? How much she wasted on silly rebranding exercise cutting off the tail of the canary and putting stickers on the stands?

And of course competence and personality play a part in the quality of posters on here.

I dare anyone to come on here and say the girl Zoe is doing a good job what with all that debt, a failed husband and plummeting down the league.

(And that was not a penalty. )

No it wasn't. He dangled his leg out looking for it. If anything it should have been a yellow card for the Cardiff player.

All players who go down under a challenge should be sent off.

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.

Romeo walked off the pitch without a booking? We also had possession when he was “injured” and the keeper received a drop ball. Mcguiness block looked to have a hand element to it too. We weren’t getting the rub of the green either.

I’d be willing to try 4 labradors on VAR at this point if I’m very honest.

Probably because of the Placheta penalty, should have been one and we’d have been screaming if the other way round.

That’s palpably untrue - I’ll moan about crap refs win or lose, and say whenb they’ve been good, again win or lose.

The ref yesterday was generally ok - if with some strange decisions, but there often are.  Perhaps the key one was the non-penalty but I wasn’t convinced it was a foul.

That may be the case for some people, and I'd say I'm one of them, but it's certainly not for everyone. 

Look at Premier League managers, for example. We've seen them lay in to the refs quite often, even recently, but have any of them done it after a match which they won?

What a disgrace, got most of the decisions wrong! Caused confusion by making strange decisions.

Keep to your own game, take your co commentators wirh you and leave mens Football alone!

Indeed. If you want a job in football nothing wrong with being a referee. Much more challenging than answering emails (even mine) not that they get answered anyway. Win win all round aside from the Webber's bank account (that should now be plural).

She denied them a penalty with that reckless Placheta tackle (?) but otherwise was unbiased.

I reckon you're joking but what a silly topic the op made. 

We don't need to create a gender bias or ironically congratulate women for doing something.

I can live with that. I have zero concern of who you pay credence to. 

Do you have a serious question or is that it?

On a side note I've always considered you a bit of a **** but that's just my credence.
