The Nest Egg Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 What a ****. That was deliberate. The ref never had control, no spine. Maybe not an easy game to ref but she hasn't really helped herself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 If the ref had simply booked a couple of them in the first half for dissent, it would've calmed the whole thing down. Once one of them has a hissy fit and gets away with it they all will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The incompetence of the referee Cameroon doing their best to reinforce negative stereotypes and damage womens football. And for me a first seeing players crying in attempt to influence the referee.

I do not know why you take the time to contribute to this thread when your disdain for women’s football is evident. The men’s game is objectively a lot worse for this sort of behaviour, but I suppose that doesn’t fit your tired narrative. Your humour is about as stale as the contents of a student house kitchen.

Offside Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Wow, what a spectacle, but that game was bonkers. Cameroon’s players lost the plot and the ref completely lost control of the game. Credit to England’s players for keeping their discipline, especially after that awful foul near the end when the Cameroon player was shouting at Houghton who was receiving treatment.

She saw at least two of those on the VAR replay that she had the final say on. There were several non-VAR incidents that she should have dealt with by carding Cameroon players, but she didn't. Thins just made their players behaviour worse. She's probably never had to deal with anything like that level of ill-discipline before, but it doesn't excuse her lack of competence.Fair play to the England players whose composure was excellent.

simon uk Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Cameroon were pathetic, and can pi$$ off home. The number 3 was scandalous and should have been sent off. And that tackle at the end was rediculous. The commentary suggested cameroon were playing the race card, which dion dublin scoffed at, there should be retrospective bans dished out. well done to our girls for keeping their cool and dignity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernored Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 I have been enjoying the games, it make a change to see player not rolling around on the ground when some one comes near, also up to now no needless fouls. I must agree that Cameroon were rubbish and overtly physical and deserve to loose, however ot was good to see our players not getting drawn in. Looking forward to Norway game.

Robbored Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 I thought Phil Neville was very honest post match. He diplomatically said that the game ‘wasn’t football’ but avoided naming Cameroon directly. He mentioned that everyone knew the VaR rules having had them drummed into them numerous times by officials.Very proud of his players discipline. Personally if England want to progress further they’ll have to improve defensively. Against better opposition they’d have conceded goals today. Bear in mind that Bradley pulled off a couple of decent saves against a very mediocre team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Thought VAR was meant to deal with contentious decisions and avoid disputes. It seems to be causing as much dispute as it clears and leaving many teams aggreived as a result. The real danger is referees abdicating all responsibility for making decisions in the the hope thatVAR will, and that VAR will take the subsequent flak. Can't see that the way VAR is unfolding is as we all expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A showpiece tournament allowed to descend into a farce by FIFA It’s going to become a bigger and bigger issue in all tournaments I fear. Again six minutes added to the first half here because if VAR, and it’s still debated whether it was the right call or not. Spoils it totally when it takes three minutes to make a call.

Davefevs Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 If they’re not gonna introduce a manager review (1 per team) like cricket, then get rid of VAR and: just accept that there is a grey area, back your officials to get it right (and mic them up to explain them and pick up players abusing them), back them when they get it wrong by coaching them more stick to pure black and white decisions like goal-line only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
