Shocking phase of play from the ref, stopped Spurs twice taking a free kick Liverpool break from it and get a dodgy pen.

Anyone just see the shambolic penalty Liverpool have been given last minute? Embarassing

Dodgy doesn’t do it justice

 

[rabbikeane]

Ref been terrible all game.

 

[Bobbins]

Nothing changes then, absolutely ridiculous penalty decision.

As an aside, absolutely terrible penalty and in turn equally terrible attempt at a save.

 

[archiewasking]

Awful decision for the penalty

 

[13VanDerBale13]

That ref needs investigating & fined.

 

[archiewasking]

Joke

Draw would have been the fair result, referee the decider.

Subbing off our most defensive midfielder Summanen, for a striker in England made us much more dangerous in second half.

Spurs were breaking and Liverpool a bit open, so the ref stops play and gives the Liverpool player offside bringing the play back for a free kick which she then asks for 2 retakes, letting Liverpool to get back into shape and turn the ball over, counter and get a pretty dodgy penalty.

The ref had just stopped another dangerous looking Spurs counter for a head injury where the Liverpool girl got a slight slap to the jaw and spent two minutes on the floor. She then gets up and the ref lets her straight back on the pitch.

The ref was awful in those moments.

The referees in women's football are just shambolic.

 

[jaycey]

Ref aside, Liverpool today were disgusting. They displayed dirty, unprofessional tactics.

 

[Fitchspur]

One of the worst referee performances I’ve ever seen. Never a penalty and they should have had a player sent off.
The Liverpool gamesmanship was bad as well and the ref fell for it every time.
I’ve never heard Brisbane Road that hostile before.

Watching some of the Arse v Chelsea game on tv. Official attendance comes up as 45k. Arsenal obviously up to their old tricks of counting tickets sold as the attendance. Top level almost completely empty , middle tier around half empty and lots of other empty seats . More like a 35k attendance, .
They just lost as well.

2 down at half time away at United. Very unfortunate as we've been the better side, however they create the better goal scoring opportunities.
Both goals annoyingly from Bizet crosses, although her overall game hasn't been impressive. The squad has picked up a fair number of injuries now, putting a strain on the squad, but we're coping well and look so well coached.
United has at times really struggled with our intense press.

From United forum:

A real smash and grab raid at the end of the first half! They ran the show for the for twenty minutes and were probably the better team for the next twenty.

Spurs must be wondering what the hell happened.

2nd half now, United started much stronger than us ..

Game done now, 0-3. Penalty, after a cross sent into Neville's arm from close range ..

Seemed a harsh pen to me - United having all the rub of the green in the game

Not the first time that's happened...

Struggle to remember seeing a team choose the wrong options when in possession & attacking, time & time again, as we have today.
