Womens ENG V ROI

[cooperd5]

England got a penalty 2nd half, looked nailed on DOGSO to me but she only got a yellow. Anyone else see this and have an opinion?

 

[RustyRef]

Yeah, I was very surprised it wasn't red as she wrestled the player to the ground, there was no attempt whatsoever to play the ball.

Incident here

 

[cooperd5]

And if unimpeded, open goal!

 

[ARF]

Wow cannot see any possible way of justifying that as only a caution. Only goes to reinforce the myth that any DOGSO foul inside the area is no longer a red

Watched it a few times, and can see why it was only a yellow from the Ref’s POV. The final contact is very much a tangling of legs (a trip). AR should be helping out here over comms.

(Assuming no VAR?)

Again, are you getting involved as the active AR here when ref goes yellow? I’d wager a lot of us aren’t if no comms kit.
