Arsenal take the advantage in their Champions League tie against Chelsea - but there were some huge refereeing controversies. Lianne reacts to Sonia Bompastor's suggestion that perhaps referees should be brought in from the men's game and discusses what we should be doing to improve the standards of officiating across the board. Plus, ex-Arsenal star Rachel Yankey joins the show to chat about what it was like becoming England's first female professional footballer and to talk about Alessia Russo's fantastic season. Deborah Dilworth, the head of women's football at the football supporters association tells us all about Free Lionesses - an organisation that helps Lionesses travelling fans! And Luke Swindlehurst breaks down the Asia Cup results. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
