She might be sh*t. She might be bloody brilliant. Neither will have anything to do with her being a woman.


Miss Scunthorpe. Not a beauty pageant, just sound advice.

Indeed.

But we obviously still have a few cavemen on this forum.

When referees get things wrong — and they often do — we call it 'human error'.

Male and female referees will get things wrong, but it's important to remember that when they do, it won't be because of their gender, it'll be because they're human.

She can't do any better or worse than what we already have. Let's face it we had Maggie as PM and she lasted years!


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

As well as human error which is perfectly understandable they often get things wrong as many of them know the rules but don’t know the game.

When I say “wrong” I don’t mean making the wrong call as I think they genuinely give what they see but I mean being influenced by benches and players conning them into giving decisions and/or deliberately slowing down the game.

This has nothing to do with male or female referees, but rather with referees in general. After watching professional football in person and on TV for 50 years now, I believe this is an accurate observation. Referees look at games impartially. Fans look at games through a biased lens. The worse your team is doing, the worse the ref seems to be to the biased fan. This would go a long way towards accounting for the many "crap" referees who have officiated at GTFC matches over the years. Of course referees make mistakes, but then so do players, and so do all the rest of us, but it's been interesting to me to observe over many years how much better the referees seem to be to Town fans when we are the team getting the free kick or the throw in or the corner or the penalty or basically when we are winning. I'm quite sure this is the same for the fans of every team in the world. So let's hope for 9 "good" referees, of whichever sex, for the rest of the season!

I manage at a low standard... Taunton and Somerset  Saturday league div 1. The best ref we've ever had was a young lass two seasons ago. havent seen her since.  I can only assume she's either quit or moved up ranks to the district leagues.
