What are people's thoughts on this happening in England. Obviously there are lines women who seem to do ok . How would people feel about a female referee in England. As the football in general is total shit it would be great to have something to look at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also about four assistants (linespersons?) on the current list, too. The numbers will only increase, boys, so we'd better get used to it. Give it time and it will be women who make all the decisions and dish out all the aggro! Men will be only found at a pub - or man creche, if you will. Although Toms didn't actually referee a match in the top 4 divs she certainly did well to progress so far in a male dominated environment, and as you say, that was a long time ago when it caused great surprise...

dereks no1 Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 All for it. Another hurdle that has to be jumped over. As long as they are qualified then absaloutely no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunsteral Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 If and when we get one (a woman) what will the crowd chant when she makes (in their opinion) a wrong decision against us - W----R W-----R W----R ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I wonder what the rules would be on them dating any players. Shouldn't be any different to the potential for male refs to date players should it?

MarcusX Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Alternatively, I wonder if there will ever be a female manager in the top leagues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard of referees currently is hardly that high, so a larger pool of options would be a good thing for me. Spot on. Presumably those against it might consider rejecting the help of a female nurse in hospital? A far more challenging role imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Coincidentally: the Bundesliga top division will have its first female referee next season. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39978823 Interestingly, Fräulein Steinhaus is currently romantically linked with a certain Howard Webb, no less, but that may be by the by.

Male doctor , Lady nurse , that's just how it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
