I didnt see a single 'strong call' all weekend. which was whack. I got 'toppled' by sophie. Slashed across the throat by mario of l'equipe to stop me scoring on an open goal. (which he completely admitted and apologised profusely for, saying he "lost his head") both should have been 30 second pens. Mario possibly even 2 min. It directly stopped us getting an equaliser and its blatant mallet on body. I dont give a damn if you've won the thing 3 times, it shouldnt happen, or it should be dealt with. I have seen every single team push the limit of what is acceptable, including DR. Polo took out woods then scored, Max brought the two teams together and the goal still stood after a long chat. I felt bad for them, but i never saw it at the time so didnt know why woods was so angry. Its easy to miss, (after several beers and pretty ladies all around). Marcs whistle for ball turnover when i scored was pretty lame, I was on that ball like lightning, but he was too quick to whistle rather than use advantage. I also saw him blow the whistle for half time as boagey was shooting into an open net. I thought he could have let that one go at least. The two things coincided almost exactly, but it was good to see him be vocal and make calls. Overall i thought we all did well, refs, players and hecklers. Meh what you gonna do.
