Accrington Stanley V Barnsley Rebecca Welsh

Wow what can I say simply the worst display of officiating I
have ever witnessed in the FL and I have seen Willard and Kettle
in their pomp. Erratic decision making to say the least can't
say she lost control of the game because she never had it,
inconsistent cautions, failure to identify players being
targeted by the opposition, average fitness at best. I have
seen better refs on the Northern counties east who never made it
who were 10 times better than this. I hope I never have the
misfortune to witness this official again!

Very interesting that the Stanley fans website is saying she's
the best ref they've had all season. Didn't see the match so
can't comment further but the view of Ms Welch obviously depends
which team you support.

Those of us who didn't (hopefully) know better could
(incorrectly?) suggest that a spot of gender bias was just
visible on the periphery of this post

Not sure it’s entirely fair to suggest the poster was giving his
criticism because the official was female, female officials
should be no more above criticism then male officials.

You obviously haven’t checked the results

Maybe his "gender bias", if it exists, is empirical.

It is more likely a case of we didn't win - there is obviously a
degree of bias here - I have just seen a video of some of the
match made by a Barnsley fan with the headline 'shocking ref' -
and comments during the video make reference to the Accrington
penalty as being 'no way' but they were denied a 'definite
penalty etc
Obviously a clear case of 'fan bias'
To be fair I didn't detect any bias about female ref although it
was pointed at the start 'we have a female ref today'

I thought Gary Willard was a very steady and reliable
official..however I didn’t see him that often as he is Sussex
based IIRC.
However your comment on Kettle in his pomp would certainly
provide vivid memories for posters on here.

Very scathing comments - I wonder what the match
observer/assessor reported?
