Female Referee for us today

Its her third game, she also refereed WBA v Wigan in March. I have no issue with her being female, but coming from Washington, the game after that Sunderland game is poor from the EFL, It leaves her wide open to criticism, impartial or not. That said, I trust a female to be more impartial than a male or even an alien like Geoff Etherington.

Why should it be a issue where the referee is from?the problem with alot of people is that there can't accept a decision that goes against there team,there have to have a scapegoat.
It doesn't matter if it's a male or female referee as long as there do a decent job.
Good luck to her.
 
Thought she has been ok, I think one of the penna shouts should have been given and maybe could have played on once or twice instead of calling the play back but how is that different from any game? We have had far worse refs in the past.
 
Bafflingly booed off by our helmet fans.

Not sure there's a decision I disagree with, with the potential exception of the late penalty shout, though I'd have to see that back.

The only arguable complaint was not playing advantage, but that's a subjective decision.
 
Been fine I think. At first glance I didn't think the late shout on Jones looked a penalty, first one on Crooks looked more of a penalty to me but I think it's one of those where because no one's really appealed for it that strongly or made a big deal of it then it's not given. Crooks didn't really do much more than just look back a bit inquisitively.

I don't think so. I watch a lot of local football with Teesside refs in charge of Teesside teams against Geordie teams, not a problem at all, and she's come through the same system.

Chippy fans always think we're up against some sort of conspiracy, it's nonsense.

I don’t think that at all, but I remember loads of refs saying on podcasts etc they weren’t allowed to referee “their” team or against a rival. Seems like they’ve relaxed the rules.

She didn’t have a bad game anyway. Started badly but got much better as it went on.

Jeff Winter refereed both Newcastle and Sunderland games.

I would say the ref did well today and was under a lot of pressure due to it being her maiden Championship game. The only issue I had was when she could have let play go on after a foul in the middle of the park and we still had the ball. I also thought she should have booked Hogan for the way he spoke to her when he was feigning injury.

Other than that, she had a good game and would welcome her back.

Sunderland received apology from referees' assessor after Boro game

Tony Mowbray was unhappy with Dan Neil's red card as Middlesbrough went on to beat Sunderland 4-0

Mowbray has just said that he received an apology about the sending off.

What was the apology for?

Did his player not swear at the ref after all? Or is it not actually a yellow card offence and the ref got it wrong?

Pathetic from all concerned.

Mowbray should never roll his eyes at any of Warnock's antics again the big hypocrite.
