There are many that are worse that get nowhere near, not even a fraction of the abuse that these 2 get. Especially Abbot.

Any referee worth their salt will be more than used to getting abuse, I don't think the sex of the referee has anything to do with it.

Oh and back on subject there are many worse refs than this young woman too. From what can be seen on the available video I doubt that decision would have been overturned by VAR, just as a similar one wasnt in the United game, yesterday.

You know me Raef, I don’t have a problem with females in a male sporting world….

The referees decision appears to be poor based on available video evidence but no worse than some of the refs that we have had in the championship over the last few years !!

The racist abuse anyone gets is terrible. My point was being a female (or someone who isn’t white) doesn’t make you immune to criticism.

Of course, racism is never acceptable.

She was dreadful at Deepdale and it would have been equally had the ref been a man.

No it’s not all racist some of it is because Sadiq is a Muslim, if he was bad at his job he wouldn’t be polling 51.2% in the upcoming mayoral election

No his fault, Johnson cut loads of officers and closed police stations when he was mayor, and the Tories don’t provide enough funding, he does the best he can with what he has allocated. And actually London isn’t even the worst in the U.K., top is the West Midlands followed by Cleveland.

IMO, it was not a penalty for exactly the reason that his arm was in a natural position AND close to his body when the ball struck it. So it was an error to award it. However, a split second before it made contact his arm, that arm did momentarily come a long way from his body (then he drew it quickly back in again).
Probably natural movement- but I do think it is mitigation for the ref… given the crazy rules they are told to implement nowadays.
A significant error - but not the worst big decision this weekend, probably not in the bottom 3. That Rotherham one was a shocker.

Clear and obvious, that’s how stuff should be, sack VAR

Its a good effort to bad mouth female refs. But most on the Bristol forum confirm it hit his left arm for a tackle he made with his back to the ball. Giveable under the current guidelines. if harsh. Other Joeys suggesting it was a Sunday League decision are just looking to back up their prejudice. Well done.
