I thought she was firm but fair, though I guess if we were the away fans we'd have felt hard done by as they did seem to get a few harsh decisions against them. Not the #9 though, big cry baby that he was!

the #3 too was a right whinger (not a right winger) ;-)

Finally got a homer. Thought she did well in general. Her 10 yards for free kicks were nowhere near 10 yards and how she didn't book the Oldham player for throwing Coker to the floor I'll never know. Obvs the missed penalty went in our favour but decent display from Kirsty

Both should have been booked. Coker for delaying the restart and their player for throwing him to the floor. Maybe she felt they evened themselves out. If that is the case then it's wrong IMO.

Big miss with the pen, but I've seen a lot worse.

I thought so too, but my son watched a video and didn't believe it should have been given even though the ball hit the arm/hand. I haven't seen it again myself, so don't know if I agree with him or not.

she was OK but the players / crowd definitely influenced some of her decisions

the shot that LCP had was a blatant corner but she gave a goal kick - Husin went crazy at her and she then gave the corner.

Fair point. The same happened when Hobson blocked Hopper from trying to close the ball down from the goalkeeper passing the ball out. Hopper threw Hobson to the ground but Hopper got booked. No consistency
