Blooming half 12 kick-off!

Today's team:

Erin Cuthbert will make her 200th appearance and Jessie Fleming her 100th for the club. 

I think this is live on BBC2!

Great to see Erin back on the pitch!

How long until we put Kerr on? Not going well so far is it!

@Boyne a clear shot of Basil there! He lives!

It's been scrappy from Chelsea so far. Daft from Lauren James to get a yellow card.

Excellent!

That’s a ridiculous decision there from the ref. No way was that a) time wasting or b) deserving of a yellow.

Good job it hasn’t happened to Liverpool or we’d all be replaying the season from the beginning.

Agree about the yellow card. As you say wasn't time wasting. I've seen a lot more time wasting from goalies especially in the men's game and no bookings for them.

I just switched on the telly when the ManCity player was sent off and I didn't catch why. So timewasting? I don't know if she did, but - as it's extremely annoying - if she did, a booking is justified. And if it's the second booking, well....

That only means referees are not consistent, not that it shouldn't be carded.

True. With all the yellow cards being issued I think there could be more red cards.

I do agree that time wasting is very annoying and I wonder if players have made a rod for their own backs with all the time wasting over the years.

I also saw Greenwood get sent off and  could not realise why until I saw the play back she was taking a free kick.

Obviously City fans feel aggrieved and the players are reacting.

Will be interesting to see if we can get back into the game, not playing badly yet don't look like scoring.

If you can watch it properly you’ll see how ridiculous it is!

Wow. We’ve got ten minutes to take advantage of this. 

Another red card for City. Two yellows of Hemp. 

More cards than at Christmas.

They’re fighting hard though, it’s quite impressive if not extremely frustrating!

Very true. Backs against the wall. 

I do pick my moments switching to the match, 1-1!

Get in there. Not pretty but they all count.

Why are you not watching the whole thing?

I wanted to watch the gymnastics as well  

Guro wouldn't have scored if I hadn't jumped in!
