    Ah well I guess I had to be right with my prediction on time!! Yes it was a shame we didn't win, but com eon folks be realistic, Wycombe came not to lose and its been clear all season that we struggle against negative teams, a little bit more luck and better game management and we would have won and deservedly so, Derby were the only team trying to play.

    Me thinks people expect too much from this team, if they were consistently good players they wouldn't be playing at this level!

    Its regrettable that misogyny raises its head regarding the ref, on the whole she had a better game than many of her male counterparts in this division, but then I guess the the penalty award has coloured peoples views.

    Apart from GP’s typical, but probably tongue in cheek, comment I don’t think anyone’s said anything misogynistic have they?

    Having said that...there is a joke going round that ‘with the introduction of female refs players have been warned that they might get booked for fouls they committed years ago that they thought were long forgotten’. I hope that’s not misogynistic...because I do think it’s (harmlessly) funny.

    On here, apart from GP’s joshing, no. Elsewhere online the balance of folk picking on the refs gender and those calling folk with a genuine negative opinion misogynists, ‘gammons’ etc is fairly even. The culture wars continue, thank God for football, even if is dire

    Ah, sorry...I don’t tend to look elsewhere online as far as DCFC are concerned. ‘Picking on the ref’s gender’ just seems senseless to me. The ‘gammon’ term seems equally unhelpful, but at least it’s a pejorative born out of certain individuals’ expressed prejudices rather than simply expressing prejudice directed at someone’s gender. ‘Culture wars’ or just common sense?

    I was referring to comments elsewhere, GP's comment I took as being tongue in cheek, though I could be wrong!
