Premier League'e first female referee

Noticed on the BBC website Rebecca Welsh is to become the first female to referee a Premier league match between Fulham and Burnley on the 23rd of December. Could she do any worse I wonder, with so much controversy in the game nowadays ! Or is this taking things too far.

We've got female line assistants. So what's the big deal. Probably do a better job than their shithouse male colleagues.

Hoping it'll be a bit of fresh air to be honest because lets be honest, the current set of male refs are diabolically bad, she can't do any worse.

Agree on both counts, it just can’t get any worse can it? Hope it goes well for her anyway and it’s not just because it’s a diversity bull sh*t thing and that’s she’s really good at her job.

Can’t be any worse than Hooper and a few others

Couldn't do any worse than the current incumbents.

No issue at all as long as she’s got it on merit , which let’s be honest she wouldn’t have to be that good to be better than most her male counterparts , hope it goes well for the lass .

I don't care if they have animal referees if they do their job correctly.

Being a female shouldn't have anything to do with how well she does her job.

Some good points, which I agree with, the way things are atm, they could well show up their male counterparts.

Perhaps you could enlighten us with why you think that...Of course you can have whatever opinion you like, unlike notable others who share your view namely The Taliban.

Anyone deserves a chance if they’re good enough, the jury is out.  Hopefully they haven’t made the same mistake like some of these new pundits/commentators 🤦‍♂️

Sounds like you've gone done the you tube rabbithole of listening to sh*t knobheads. I've heard the same podcasts that want to project this message of male masculinity. Again more Internet bullshit for some divvies to get the clueless to donate, subscribe or like!!

Collins wasn't a beast, he was your typical shithouse Italian with bulging eyes  he made mistakes as well.

I'll go as far to say the women will probably do a better job than the men.

Fact is you're a bit of a incel too. Sort yourself out lad!!

Disaster

Might want sort out what you're referring to as a disaster. I mean we know what disasters are right?

Hillsborough was a disaster, women reffing in sport are not. Know what I F***ing mean?

You're deffo a brain dead pr**k 😂😂😂😂😂😂

He also stopped Everton getting into the Champions League proper in 05/06 by ruling Ferguson's goal out against Villareal. Depending on which side of the fence you come down, that's either a mistake or great judgement.

Aye, desiring an emotional strong male is definitely not laced with homoeroticism.

Amazing how much insecure males there are out there. Some right wing, macho bullshit.

Cold light of day it was a bit of an error, always felt that was onside.

Uefa always maintained it should of been us in as champions and Everton dumped to the Uefa Cuo as has happened  similar in La Liga, but the FA would never make that decision.

You defo go friendzoned and had to watch your ‘girl’ go for anyone but you didn’t you

Think this is good and will improve player behaviour tbh because if they all go charging and screaming in a women’s face like they do with some of the male refs, it’s going to bring a lot of negative focus on the clubs and players that they can currently get away with

Was talking about that the other day to one of the lads in work about how we had to start the campaign in the first qualifying round. Being a United fan, he was of the opinion that it was the FA doing us favours "as usual".

Maybe they ll let a bloke referree or commentate on a womans match

In the 23-24 WSL so far-
Adam Herczeg, 2 games
James Bell, 1 game
Steven Hughes, 1 game
Tim Robinson, 1 game
Andy Madley, 1 game
Keith Stroud, 1 game

Shouldn't really be no pressure on her as the male have been pathetic.  The bar is on the floor needs picking up!

Hahaha yeah would love to see what the favour was. Enjoyed the away leg of the TNS game in Wrexham. That was a laugh to be fair.

After 85 the FA knew they couldn't dump Everton out. It was as if Uefa allowed 4 English teams into the group stages and they were sticking with that.

Was even funnier after Moyes appearance on SSN in his  Cardi drinking from a champagne flute celebrating coming 4th and finishing above us............only for us two weeks later to win the f**ker

Maybe some blokes might stop turning into whiney little bitches, especially those that get radicalised by social media and stop coming out with sh*t whataboutery situations like you've posted above or any of Joey softarse Barton's recent outbursts on twitter.
