I have to admit, BT, that it gets more difficult to keep up with the changes on a daily basis. I also admit that I am getting more and more disillusioned with the way they are messing about with the game and its Laws.

Lucy Bronze was cautioned last night circumstances which were ridiculous as far as I was concerned.
SHe and an opponent challenged for the ball and Lucy won it fair and square, however, her opponent fell over Lucy on the ground and the referee awarded a free kick and cautioned our player. The tackle was fair, not reckless or dangerous and the contact between the players was something which happens in all football at whatever level.
She also penalised Agyemang late on in the game for a challenge which she won fair and square without committing any offence ----her opponent fell over though which the Spaniards seemed to think warranted a foul every time!

If you want to try to guess just where the game is going all you have to do is to go and watch Academy games at any age over 12 and you will be amazed at some of the decisions given for the slightest contact. It ain't good!
