Rebecca Welch on 09:42 - Feb 21 by ITFC_Forever | In no particular order: Barnsley (h) - Nothing wrong with Harness' goal. Charlton (a) - Should have had a player sent off just before half-time. Fleetwood (h) - Should have been a penalty immediately after we conceded. Sheff Wed (h) - Should have been a red card for the elbow on Burns. Sheff Wed (a) - Their second goal miles offside. Lincoln (a) - Didn't give a penalty when there was three of the same offences they got a penalty for happening at the same time. That's half a dozen games the ref cost us a win, no matter our own failings. |
Every fan up down the country will have a list of reffing decisions that don't go their way whilst ignoring every decision that has gone their way. It's about reacting, taking your chances, riding your luck and optimising what we can control. |  |

Rebecca Welch on 12:24 - Feb 21 with 1233 views | GeoffSentence | She has reffed MK Dons before. They won 4:0 away to Morecambe. Two other league one games of the seven she has reffed have also ended 4:0, but to the Home side. She dishes out about 3 yellow cards agame on average. Last month she reffed a championship game (2-1 away win for PNE at Birmingham) |  |

Rebecca Welch on 11:46 - Feb 21 by PhilTWTD | You missed the foul on Chaplin in the run-up to the first Plymouth goal down there! |
Still not a foul.....he looked for the player and made no attempt to play the ball. If anything we had a claim for a pen but will settle for the goal from Mumba :) So Rebecca Welch reffed our win at Birmingham in the cup last season and consensus was she was one of the best refs we had had all season. I am enjoying the Wednesday fans veering between the absolute certainty off their title win with record points etc and the alleged conspiracy by the EFL to deny them said procession. Despite your best efforts this is far from done and dusted and I think we will drop some points in the next four ....am hoping that the Fleetwood blip doesn't impact our other so called easy games....we don't seem to have that edge that puts teams away completely until late....be nice to have a three goal cushion at half time one in a while. Still hoping for Greens /Town 1/2 so come on chaps...get moving :) |  | |  |

Wednesday fans and this agenda is bizarre, given that both our games against them they've been on the end of some fortune from the officials, one of which probably costing us a win. |  |

I don't think he could play the ball when he was fouled as it was about 20 foot in the air and he was shoved over as he was putting himself between the player and where the ball was going to land. Think VAR would have disallowed it. But ancient history now! Think you're right, teams will drop points here and there as per Saturday. We need to put in a run of wins over the next three games and pick up a decent haul of points from the tougher games to follow against the likes of Bolton, Barnsley and Derby. |  | |  |

Likewise, if you can face it please call people out if they resort to any sexism to vent their frustrations.

....that doesn't go our way, I'll give her just as much grief as I normally would. Hope that's OK. |  |

Can't be many matches that don't have a yellow in them these days EDIT - bar Port Vale away every game we have played this season has had a yellow [Post edited 21 Feb 2023 13:37]

A lot of those are very debatable, not even sure what the red card offence at Charlton was? The Barnsley one was ridiculous, I'll give you that. It also ignores all the debatable decisions, offsides and little bits of luck that have gone in our favour. Essentially, you're clutching. |  |

He did what anyone else would do, put himself between the ball and the player, and was fouled. |  | |  |

Her yellow card average of just above 3 per a game overall is quite low in comparison to most referees. |  | |  |

I think that there's so much debate about it from our own fans suggests it wasn't a nailed on foul. For the record, I think it would have been soft if given. |  | |  |

The handball on the line, I assume. |  | |  |

None of them are debatable - they were all stonewallers. |  |

:) I am all for partisanship but I was a referee so tend to be of the view that what would you say if it were the other way round.....so if that was Houghton in the Chaplin role and vice versa is it an Argyle le pen? Not for me .... Anyway...water under the bridge... |  | |  |

She averages roughly 3 yellows per game. Is that high? I dunno, never really looked into it before. I hope some of those are for timewasting. |  |

Who's to say we even benefit and go on the win the SW and Charlton games with a man advantage? Or score the penalties we supposedly should have had? Do you have an issue with the offside goals we've scored? |  |

Are you suggesting he did something wrong? Putting yourself between the opposition player and the ball is pretty basic stuff. |  | |  |
