Stevo985 Posted April 10, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted April 10, 2015 Ridiculous. First of all that level of officiating is atrociously bad. Secondly, regardless of the circumstances the decision to retake the pen 5 days later is nothing short of comical. The whole think is a farce. They'd have been better off letting sleeping dogs lie, for the sake of the perception of the women's game as a whole. Exact same thing happened in the mens game in 2005 (world cup qualifier) Although that time the penalty was in the first half so they replayed the whole game.

YLN Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I reckon the ref was having her period. I reckon they all were having their periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysAVFC Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 The difference is clear. One is interpreting the right rule, wrongly. One is implementing a rule that doesn't exist. It's like comparing a dive that's given as a penalty (because the ref thought it was a foul) and a dive that's given as a goal. The first is a mistake. The second is a rule that doesn't exist. The Enkleman one is tricky as you would have to determine whether the ref gave the goal because he thought Enkleman touched it or if the ref completely forgot the rule about no goal direct from a throw in because of how ridiculous it was. As the referee would never admit to not knowing the rules of the game, it would go back to the fact it was the referees interpretation of what happened as you stated.

Dr_Pangloss Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 You know what, I really don't care since this involved women's football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
