Women are perfectly able to referee male games but they shouldn't. The twain can't meet. Women should ref women. Men should ref men.

To be fair, she couldn't be any worse than some of the comedians we have reffing games at the moment.

I don't think she referee's much even in the women's game, there's a reason she's a FIFA assistant, she's good at it

 

[chaddblue]

She's a liner.. plenty of top linesmen have never reffed a game either

I agree. No comment on abilities it's just the divide that will never be breached. The physical elements of sport mean it's different.

Because she wont be accepted by the male players , she has done incredible to get where she is already , out before the mysogony (sp) starts

well thats their problem not hers

i dissagee with that im affraid. we get plenty of poor Male refs. I just wondered why she wasnt getting a chance. I could be wrong but I would be surprised if she didnt want a chance to prove herself.

I just think she does that job because she enjoys it, she has refereed, but she doesn't do it much, not even in the women's game, maybe she just simply prefers this role ?

Not for me and nothing to do with her as I have no opinion on her ability. I like watching the women's matches but the two are totally different. Men and women are equally different.

With respect, that’s nonsense. There’s no reason whatsoever why a woman couldn’t officiate a men’s game. It happens in other countries.

I don't think she's particularly good at what she does. I used to.
