Hmmm, not sure that's too bad is it?

It's early in the season in incredibly humid conditions and she looks fine. That's impressive I think.

I can imagine plenty of male refs like big fat Jon Moss not managing 120 minutes tonight.
To be fair, the way he said it wasn't good. It did seem patronising even if he didn't mean it too.

Slow motion replay clearly showing contact being used to argue that, err, there was no contact.

This has been absolutely atrocious from BT.
Think the point is a brush of a fingertip to the knee shouldn’t make a player go down. The ref isn’t at fault for the decision, in real time it does look like a penalty.

Nothing bugs me more than a keeper who just stands there when a pen goes passed

She's kept up with the game even though she's a woman.

Paraphrasing. I think he was just trying to be nice. Could have worded it better, it's a non-issue though.

Then say that.

Repeatedly saying 'there's no contact' whilst watching a replay showing contact is just bizarre.

If Chelsea still had hazard this game would be over.. that high line would have been his breakfast.

It's been a good game.

There was definitely a touch but not enough to bring Abraham down. It was a dive but the ref can’t see it. VAR needs to happen intervene.

Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

Like the match, this shoot out could take forever at this rate.

All of a sudden English players seem to have got really clinical at penalties.

Chelsea should sub on Willy for pens, Kepa can’t do shit.

Or they should try anyway. We know what happened last time.

Women and men have big physical differences. It's legitimately impressive she's been able to keep up with the fast pace for 120 minutes in that heat. That's all he way saying.
She's a professional referee subject to fitness tests, it doesn't need saying and wouldn't be said if it were a male referee. That makes it sexist.

Physically yes but women have beaten men in endurance competitions.
