       Having watched both I would opine that Helen Conley was
       significantly more impressive than Amy Fearn.
       The game, despite being faster and potentially feistier was
       allowed to breathe and develop it's own character whilst still
       being entirely in control.
       Last night seemed a bit stilted as though AF worried it may get
       away from her

       2 markedly different semi-finals but both refereed what was in
       front of them rather than being inflexible. So credit to both.
       My "niggle" would be FKs awarded for what looked like fouls but,
       both in real-time & slow replay, looked more like attackers
       hurdling defenders in anticipation of fouls and falling to
       ground. Equally valid argument to suggest the attackers
       preferred hurdling to being clattered! Consistency throughout,
       although 1 Arsenal defender already on a 1st half YC fouled from
       behind late 2nd half - Ms Conley handled that well rather than
       instinctively issuing a 2nd YC which, based on players'
       reactions, was well accepted by both teams. My guess is that Ms
       Conley covered a greater distance in her game and, similarly to
       Clattenburg & other sufficiently fit and fast referees, was
       usually in the best position to sell her decision.
