Last man standingAll of a sudden I have an interest in this game.
It's a good thing i didn't count on that game [Last man standing![]()
Kirsty will know she should have waited a second on that one, but any referee who doesn't have empathy with her has no heart.I feel for Kirsty Dowle with that non advantage tbh. We've all been there and it has to be the worst feeling!
She's not getting anywhere near it, if she does it would be the save of the decade in Women's Football. Her initial step was the wrong way.In fairness, the goalkeeper very clearly (in my opinion) doesn't extend herself in an attempt to save the shot because the whistle has gone, so I think this is a bit of a non story anyway. (Obviously we would prefer to delay the whistle a fraction and wait and see, but it's not some horrendous balls up in my opinion)
I must admit I don't watch a lot of womens football but I do think she stops because of the whistle, not just because she can't get there.She's not getting anywhere near it, if she does it would be the save of the decade in Women's Football. Her initial step was the wrong way.
Some of the comments by the commentators at the time were completely unfair on Kirsty and as for one of the analysts had a different view at full time than she did at half time - only following others, which wasn’t helpful.Kirsty will know she should have waited a second on that one, but any referee who doesn't have empathy with her has no heart.
I do get annoyed with the reporting which all talks about 'a disallowed goal' , which it wasn't, but maybe that's lack of empathy with reporters on my part
