It's an alarming stat that she had reffed just 10 pro men's matches in the FL before being politically shoe horned into 2 PL games.
Out her depth, they should realize it's not fair on her either because if she keeps reffing like that it won't be long until any criticism by fans will just be branded as sexist by certain people and not because of the job performance.
I think she got female privilege today and escaped with just a few "you're not fit to ref" chants. A male ref would've been crucified by fans and players non stop for that.

Absolutely not fair on her. Sam Allison is in a similar situation I believe as I don't think he's officiated that many Championship matches. The intention of making the sport more inclusive is good, but fast tracking is kind of setting them up to fail, and making them vulnerable to abuse. Quietly give them more matches in the Championship or even lower leagues if necessary and then bring them back with other female/non white referees, so there is less focus on them specifically.

Plus a few more more but maybe you couldn’t hear.

300 tops. More Forest fans sang it tbh.
I wasn't one of those chanting it though despite my criticism and frustration and groans at her decisions that slowed the game which made it very scrappy.
She got let off with female privilege from even the likes of me.

I meant a few more chants.
 
We didn't win...so it's the Refs fault..and being a Woman, that's compounded by idiots bringing the fact into the equation..it gets f√cking worse on here by the week !
 
She was awful, at half time we were all saying she is spoiling the game. The worse one in the first half was when Dom was through and he got scissor kicked and brought down, we didn't even get a free kick, that was as dangerous and far more cynical than Billings foul. The red card was a disgusting decision, they were going nowhere, it wasn't dangerous, it was just a stupid clip and should have been an unnecessary yellow.
All game they were diving and fouling. They are a horrible team.
Completely agree that she shouldn't have been thrown into this. I am also confused as to why VAR couldn't look at Billing's red. Since when has clipping someone's heels who is going nowhere been a straight red?
I must say though, Senessi's foul was awful and that was much more worthy of a red.

Not one person has said it's the refs fault we didn't win. Not one ! All have said we weren't quite at the races today for whatever reasons. Stop making stuff up !!!!!!!

So then...why all the focus on the Ref in many posts since the game !
Whenever we don't Win it's the same.....Referee won't escape criticism....mind you that's the same on All clubs Forums.

The Forest Forum tonight is equally as banal and misguided...worse in fact !
 
Too many are focusing on the referee today and not our own deficiencies. Fact is that we could still be playing now and not have scored from open play. It wasn’t good enough and we need to look at ourselves first and how we can get our creative players involved more against stubborn opponents. Everything we tried to do today was coming down the channels, it was easy to defend and we didn’t mix it up at all.

No one had said it's her fault we didn't win Brian. Enough with your faux diversity antics as well, you haven't done the course.

It's been at the very least subliminally or semi- directly referred in several posts that being a Woman made her less adept at applying the Rules.
This will get worse if more female Refs are employed in the PL.
You have to admit that many football fans are as thick as pigsh*t and biased opinions will prevail in post match judgements especially after their team has dropped points ..it's not just exclusively part of any analytical appraisal Boscombe fans !

Jesus Christ !

Sounds like fatigue was an issue. Do you think Andoni should have rotated more players today?Or was there a tactics problem today or just players not executing the tactics well enough. I haven't seen the highlights, so I don't know.

You weren't there and I doubt you saw the game, so are hardly in a position to comment on either the refs performance or the reaction to it.

True ?

Of course it was dangerous. It injured their player, who had to go off a few minutes later and I expect he'll be out for a few games.
 
There were passages of play in the game that wouldn't be out of place in L2. Some really poor hoof and hope stuff. An inability to beat players today with pace or guile...the tiredness seemed evident. The broken play because of blatant sh#thousery also stripped out any pleasure in watching the game. Truth be told the game had all the hallmarks of two makeweight teams and completely forgettable.
Let's hope 6 days rest, recovery and work in training gets our mojo and swagger back.
