Rebecca Welch - Oxford v Sheffield Wednesday

I only just realised that Ms Welch’s game was live on tv today.
That’s a shame as I would have watched this with interest given
that I am yet to see her officiate in a live game as yet.
Did anybody see the game and can feed back on the performance? I
have seen that the away side are not happy with a penalty kick
but I am yet to see the incident

Agreed - I've seen the penalty given and that's very harsh.
Darren Moore shares the same view too by the sounds of it.
Great appointment for Welch though!

imagine! It could never be deemed a penalty kick in a million
years. There was a good shout for a penalty that could be
awarded with credit earlier but the one awarded later did not
tick any of the boxes, a very poor decision and hopefully a one
off error by Walsh.

She should have given one penalty; she gave one penalty. It's a
shame she didn't pick the right one but I guess it's not the
least equitable possible outcome !

I watched the whole game live and I thought that overall, she
did well. Generally good positioning and fitness, clear signals
etc. The first of the two potential penalty kick incidents was
subjective. It always strikes me as odd that when two players
are entangled, it's always the attacker who goes to ground
(looking for a penalty), rarely the defender. Call me cynical if
you wish. [emoji4] As for the second incident, I would have
awarded it. For me, the defender was on the ground, realised the
attacker was chasing after the loose ball, so stood up to
prevent him from doing so, bringing him down in the process.
Some may think it harsh but I feel it was justified.
The only decision I didn't understand was the drop ball right at
the end of the game. I'd love to know Ms. Welch's thinking
behind that one.

I have to agree with Seagull I thought she did well. I too would
have given it and I’m a Wednesday fan. Don’t understand what
happened at the end though there was an Oxford player down
holding his head. Typical of Wednesday we throw it away with
poor errors. Stockdale should have held the shot and there is no
penalty. Typical of a lot of Wednesdays fans on Facebook blame
the ref every time but the errors that cost us lay firmly at the
door of the players and the manager who I think is out of his
depth and how we were unbeaten in all that time I don’t know.

I don't think it was a penalty, the attacker realised he
couldn't get to the ball so flung himself into the back of the
defender and went over. Wednesday had got lucky though as
Oxford definitely should have had a penalty for what can only be
described as a rugby tackle earlier, and I think most referees
would have given Vaulks a second yellow card just a minute after
he picked up his first. They certainly can't blame the referee.

As far as I can tell from various posts she has had a good
season so far and survived very well , in comparison with every
other referee who are all male - this must be overall good for
the game and I look forward to the next female referee to be
appointed whoever that might be
