see, i accept the fact she's there and would never make a sexist comment about it.

however, i do believe that only men should officiate men's games and only women should officiate women's games.

And commentary as well. God that woman who does match of the day is awful, screeching her way through it is like running finger nails down a blackboard.

:crying:

to be fair....she is !"£$, that motd chick

Yeah and only men should teach lads at schools and women girls, then have women and men in seperate offices. "no"

Grow up son. Theres nothing wrong with men refereeing women and women refereeing men.

why is that comment childish?

I think that several of the comments here show the mind-numbing stupidity of some men and unfortunately. it tars all of us with the same brush.

We can sweep it under the carpet by saying 'it's only a joke', but what a pathetic attempt at a joke it is. Some people think they are so clever to be patronising and sexist, yet it says far more about their own characters.

It is surely time that everybody, men and women, started treating each other with respect.

And that proves my point.

It is an anachronism that should have no place in the 21st century.

Your not being serious?

If someone is good enough to do a job wether it be to referee, be a doctor, nurse, police officer it does not matter whether that person is male or female provided they're good at it.

To suggest that only women should referee womens football and men referee mens is quite pathetic given that in every other part of life, wether your going to the doctors, dentist etc it doesn't matter wether the person who is seeing to you is male or female so why should it matter in a game of football. Referees, as with every other profession are selected on their merit not their gender.

well that's really nice if you believe that but I don't...

I reckon Amy would have had to work twice as hard as any man in her profession to get where she is today - and hats off to her...

Well any referee has to work hard to be where she is and as she's there she deserves it so why should she have to just stick to womens football when the standard of female football is so much lower than what she is capable of officiating.

Thought she did well, the reason I point this out is that I had the honour of having neanderthol man behind me berating her, he even shouted stick the flag up your.... (the c word). BTW He was in block 19 and im sure some others must have heard him.


There was a bloke by me that tried to start a song using the'c word' but to be honest I thought it was about the 10 'c words' dressed in blue on the pitch.

I agree with all the comments about protecting the game and Society by appropriate action against all the racist and sexist characters....
However, two Seasons ago the son of a friend of mine took exactly the action suggested here and got the yob thrown out....
After the game neanderthal man was waiting for him outside the ground....
Fortunately my friend's son is a County level 400m runner and left him stone cold....
Pies and beer do not exactly create any competition....
But the Stewards are there to do a job and a discrete word is probably the most appropriate action for your own safety too!

I think there are many things wrong with modern society.

The fact that unless you agree with the new way of thinking then suddenly you are an outcast, not deserving of a place in todays politically correct world.

What you can or can't say in the work place to a colleague is one example, or the incorrect perception that Nationalism is rascism as another.

I remember reading once that a Physchologist had said it was very important for men to be able to gather, even for a few hours a week on a Saturday afternoon, and expell all the pent up feelings and stresses of the week, and that football gave man the perfect outlet to do so, to mingle in a tribe like manner, with fellow working class men who were there for the same reason. They could rant and rave, shout and scream, jump for joy and basically go through a miriad of emotions.

These days of course, it's all different. All seater stadiums - (please don't stand up at any point and ruin it for the people around you), football on the tv 7 days a week, footballers earning ridiculous amounts of money, there was even a thread dedicate recently on this site claimng we shouldn't be singing at the opposition supporters in an unfriendly manner....WTF?

I have an opinion of the world we are living in today, and for all the improvements in our lives, I personally feel that women have lost the fundamental purpose for their existance. The basics of human understanding, that men provide, they hunt and gather, which is a perfectly normal male human desire, and the woman nurtures the children, and is responsible for the steady environment in which the family exists (cooks, cleans and basically maintains the nest).

Women now work in fields which once were exclusive to men, one amazing example is the armed forces. The need for money today outweighs the need for a good old fashioned family way of life, so both parents now go to work, possibly adding to the view that kids are now out of control and have lost all meaning of right and wrong,,,well, the homekeeper (the mother) has now taken the role of hunter and gatherer, so why are we surprised at this?

Even if you take the view that it is neccesary for the woman to be in the mans working world, they have infiltrated every aspect of the mans world, to the point where we're now having this debate on women linesmen, and how wrong it is of us to shout abuse at this poor defenceless woman. PLEASE, this is football!! I've never seen any thread dedicated to all the male linesmen who have had the chant "stick the flag right up your arsenal", so whats the difference?
The difference is the male need and natural reaction to protect the weak, in this case, the little girly who is being shouted at by the nasty bullies, thats rather sexist of you chaps isn't it, I'm sure the lady in question is more than capable of looking after herself, and if not, then maybe she should think of a career change, I don't know, maybe homemaker and mother?

Not everything in this modern world of ours has changed for the better, and womans place in the bigger scheme of things is an example of one of them. Of course, I'll be called a sexist pig, I've been called worse, but at the end of the day, I just a believer in old fashioned family values. Is todays society really that much better than that of 40 years ago? I don't think so....before you reply to this, remember this is just my opinion on this subject and note I haven't attacked any individual for theirs.

I have no problems with the normal level of abuse that all linesmen and referees have to take as part of the job. She knew that when she decided to train to run the line. And I would berate her myself for what I thought were incorrect decisions.

What I object to is the fact that a lot of the comments were aimed at her because of her sex, and about her sex, rather than strictly as a football matter.

She did as good a job as any man running the line, and yet we have a thread about her just because she is a woman. As I said, it tells a lot about the men who make those sort of comments.

Blue Bear....
There are parts of your Post that I agree with and others that I do not.....
But I won't be debating those because as you say, it is just your opinion....
Most sensible people on this Forum will be similar.
However, for someone to be treated differently or demeaningly or disrespectfully or whatever because of the colour of their skin, their gender or even their age (cos you ain't that far off yourself when you refer back forty years) is not acceptable! "no"
And somehow I know that you won't disagree with this either.... **thumbup
