Thing is those comments on the performance of the officials are not about her gender. They are about being good enough. But it will always be reported that way.
On Match of the Day last night the penalty given for Fulham when the initial foul was outside the box should have been clear to the assistant referee nearest to it. As it was a woman thats all the commentator went on about, her gender, rather than it was a wrong call!
Just looking at Grimsby's form of late, how silly do those supporters berating Shorty and Shouty feel now?
