So utterly blatent. She took the back leg clearly. If the boot was on the other foot I guarantee that was given.
And what is it with these commentators. I feel like I'm watching the Chelsea channel.
To be fair Siobhan Chamberlain said it was a clear penalty in her view.
yeah, but what do wimmin know about football?

:wink:

Cracking result and a Reading team on the rise

West Brom only got just over 11,000 today and they're a massive men's club!

Be surprised if there was that much looking at tv pics. Mostly shows empty stands

Good goal from Rose
But what was Chelsea no. 16 doing? Backing off and backing off never got close to being in a position to challenge.

Next up for the Royals is a midweek Conti cup match on Wednesday December 15th away at Lewes FC`s dripping pan ground KO 7.30pm. The match is the final group D fixture
1 Bristol City P 2 pts 6
2 Reading P 2 pts 3
3 Crystal Palace P 2 pts 2
4 Lewes P 2 pts 1
The Royals have little chance of qualifying for the `QF`s as group winners and 1 best runner up from the 5 groups only qualify.(Arsenal and Chelsea seeded)

There will appear to be mostly empty stands/seats if there is just 1,000 spread around the East Stand.

First match i've seen (apart from highlights) for ages, brilliant result and what a goal by Rose!
I dismissed the idea of a challenge for the Top 3 but it actually looks possible now!

Probably watching a Liam Moore video mislabelled as "the art of good defending"

I’ve attended youth team and school team games that have bettered 1600 crowds, all sat in the West lower, which would’ve been more photogenic for the cameras had they been pointing that way.

It's incredible the amount of plaudits the team are getting on social media from supporters of other clubs. Starting to look like everyone's favourite second team!

Having seen the 30mins SKY highlights of the match- i would think 500 tops.
