I didn’t see the game so I can’t comment on the ref. But I wonder why you need to use these terms? If it was a male ref would you be saying “that man ruined the game”? I don’t think so. Just say the ref was rubbish without focussing on the gender.

When we played QPR, I used the term referee. Others chose to mention the gender. But, thanks for your comments on a game you didn't see.

And BTW, That man Barry Knight also totally ruined a game.

Don't tell

Don't tell @Midfielder teacher plastic that lol!

Christie can do no wrong don't you know?

Oh, hang on a minute! His opinion seems to depend upon on what the so called 'expert' commentators tell him what his opinion is LOL! PLASTIC!

Nope - he should have kicked the ball aimlessly clear. Forget about Semenyo’s awful attempt at a defensive header though - easier to pick your victim.

I was always concerned about this one with such a short turn round from Thursday night. We should have played it on the Monday night instead. Looked very leggy against an awful diving ref conning florist side. Ref was totally out of her depth and at the end decisions were just random. Anyway another point in difficult circumstances.

I expect forest said they said didn’t want to travel for a night game but there needs to be a minimum 48-72 hours between games.

One man doesn't make a team but we really missed Christie once he went off.

As for Phil Bill silly billy the ref had no choice.

We still hung on for a point.

Don’t dare say that in the company of Baldie ND and clueless Boscombe botn - they’ll have kittens.

What term should they have used?

At one point I released I had shouted "FFS what are you doing woman?". Realised it didn't sound great and never said it again. And yet I shout WTF are you doing man? ..at the ref almost every week. Her gender had nothing to do with her performance, lets face it we rightly moan about the quality of the refs almost every week, its shocking. But you have to refer to her?

Wouldn't you say "that guy ruined the game?" of course you would. Think you are slightly over sensitive.

And we should have turned round and said our previous game was only 64 hours previous whereas florist was a full 2 days before that. Clearly affected us, Kelly mentioned it in his interview.

Agree, I would have been singing you don't know what you are doing if the ref had been a man, woman or an alien from outer space. It was a very poor performance and I think the florist fans were unhappy as well.

On Solent they were saying she wasn’t really keeping up with the play and giving decisions based on the reaction of the players

As the game advanced it was obvious the linos had to step up and start making decisions for her.

What an ugly game no thanks to Forest players getting shot by the imaginary NS sniper every few minutes. I know Kluivert had to come off but taking Christie off at the same time sucked any life out of us, tripple whammy when Sini was pulled but yes we looked lethargic.
 
we were well off it today, players looked tired with the quick turnaround
not sure the ref had a huge bearing on things tbf

notts f were physically much stronger and their dyche inspired anti-football worked a treat.
spoke volumes how little football they are capable of playing, not creating a meaningful chance for 15 minutes against 10 men

really hope they get a massive points deduction and go down

It isn’t a lottery. Cheat the rules then get punished isn’t bad luck. Admittedly, the penalty for doing so may not be clear

Lottery in the terms that the Everton 10 pt. deduction is being appealed, so ultimately could be more deducted or indeed less. Forest in the dock but without a decision yet.

Conspiracy theory in me says the Association waits until the table is clearer (April) and then adjusts the deductions to get the result they want.

This stuff should be decided now, or just play it out and tack it on to the start of next season. I can just imagine Luton (for example) getting in at 17th but have a place pegged back when the decisions are called.

Well .we have to get that one stashed away into Cherries History fairly swiftly and move onto the relatively easy fixtures of Full Ham and New Castle aways...before the Man City overdue Win at DC.
That NF result probably WAS due to the quick turnaround from the Western Ham game.. so we give them the benefit of the doubt...and Forest still ain't beat us since God's Dad was peering out of his pram and watching Genesis formulating ..well not quite as long..but you get my nonsensical drift...?

will love Christie being partially culpable for the goal - be on the forum having a dig asap!
And I’m not wrong - forget the obvious and apparent lack of energy we lost when he went off?

It’s ok, it’s only a parody of himself. On here within seconds to criticise Christie, but Billing’s shall we say “lapse of judgement” doesn’t get a comment. Boring really.

Personal jibes aren’t warranted though.
 
Not seen the highlights even as I had family stuff to do, but doesn't sound like she had a good game at all. As a woman, I believe fans should be perfectly at liberty to boo any referee regardless of gender. But, I suspect it won't be viewed well by most of her counterpart referees, who we also know have made some strange on pitch/VAR decisions indicating potential bias against us. We don't seem very popular with them anyway, so probably not in our interests to boo the first female Premier League referee for that reason.

I suspect referees get booed at most games by fans so doubt that’ll be. Reason for them to persecute AFCB.
