Games gone. I kid I kid. Heard she had a good game. The bar has been set pretty low this season but still.
Pass
Sweet!
Shouldn’t even be news. Would anybody have known if there wasn’t headlines about it? Congrats to her being the first but it doesn’t need drawing attention to it, just let her get on with the job. Don’t give a shit if the ref is male, female or an automated bot so long as they’re competent and consistent.
Sadly, you can see the headlines already, the minute she has a bad game which feels almost inevitable. She’ll get the same amount of stick a male ref would from most fans. That will trigger artciles probably already written in anticipation from certain people and sections of the media who will then angle it towards sexism. the media pundits will probably go the complete opposite and refuse to criticise her through fear and then some absolute fucknuggets on Twitter will inevitably take it way too far aiming vile abuse at her and the idea football has a problem and not just society rears it’s head again.
Can’t wait…
if its doing a good job, i cant care less about what sexuality the ref is.
I’d happily have all the REFs be female, can’t be worse than their male counterparts.
I thought she did very well, fortunately though, there were no controversial decisions to make and no one surrounding the ref or having a go. I’m sure she’ll face much more difficult games in the near future but the EPL eased her in by chosing this game IMO. As they should do, so well done all round IMO 😊
All i care about is what Joey Barton has to say about this, im sure we’re all dying to know
Only match I didn’t hear about bad calls after. Well done.
How are referees rated? Does anyone know how any referee get chosen for an EPL game?
Literally the dumbest news ever. Weve come to a point where the male refs are so shit we have to have a woman reffing
Was she shit like every other referee in the league?
No one should have a problem as long as she can do her job. But also, people have to be able to criticise her if she has a shit performance every now and then without some knob calling it sexism.
Great news.
Love to see morw women represented in the game.
Joey Barton, est your heart out.
Cool. When will they allow male referees for Women’s super league and Women’s world cup?
Hopefully she knows what a handball in the box looks like and actually calls it
She did a fantastic job too. Better than the other men refs from today
I watched the game from the safety of my home in New England. I was pleased that she simply let them play. I was relieved that there were no controversial moments. By the end I was struggling to remember her first name.
I think this was probably a wise choice (as opposed to Liverpool v Arsenal or another high profile matchup). But I think she’s earned a measure of respect because nothing really stood out.
I’m all for female refs, but at a Cardiff game she reffed in she was genuinely one of the worst refs I’ve seen, she didn’t seem to understand the rules.
Very suspicious decision, can we ask what Trump thinks about it ?
