Apparently she has ambitions to ref at a high level in the men's game. Unless Sunday was a one off aberration I'd suggest it's not really the gig for her at any level.
Yeah, I would think that most folk don't know about the ghost goal, or have forgotten it. I still run it in my mind's eye whenever he turns up for a footy match. I expect some aspect of pantomime with every game!She'll get there, I'm sure there's a will for it to happen from above. She'll ref some men's games and the top brass will all be patting themselves on the backs about how inclusive and forward-thinking they are.
It reminds me of some dodgy street gang, where a possible new member has to prove themselves by nicking a car or stabbing a rival, or something like that. You pass the test, you get helped up. It happened to Attwell after the ghost goal and it'll happen now to her.
Has there ever been a referee that hasn’t made a mistiake?Yeah, I would think that most folk don't know about the ghost goal, or have forgotten it. I still run it in my mind's eye whenever he turns up for a footy match. I expect some aspect of pantomime with every game!

A mistake perhaps, this one was on a power trip and totally lost the plot.Has there ever been a referee that hasn’t made a mistiake?
How can she progress further?Not many have made mistakes like that one at a decent level and continued upwards.
Yeah, yet she didn’t give a ghost goal, like the post I responded to included.A mistake perhaps, this one was on a power trip and totally lost the plot.

I meant every referee. All of them have made mistakes.Thought you were responding regarding the ghost goal. Attwell certainly did progress further.
For Heaslip, refereeing men's Premier League matches would be a huge step up should it happen. That's not to demean the women's game, but the speed of the game and the amount of money and viewers involved would be another level.

People forget good refereeing performances and remember every time they think they’ve wronged the team you support. It’s the nature of the beast.
Heaslip won’t have been marked down for her performance last weekend as she didn’t make any errors when applying the LOTG.
I guess the rest depends on how they judge a referee’s control of the game. That was what we’re questioning here, not mistakes.
A referee making a mistake doesn’t mean they can’t progress either. We’d have none left.
