The referee

[PistolPete]

Nothing sexist about criticising a woman’s performance. Nor racist had the ref been black etc. To suggest otherwise is the go-to argument of the weak and feeble

Well Thats exactly What I have said but the Woke Army went nuts, why dont we just have a black lesbian muslim woman ref and thats ALL the boxes ticked, simples

Irrespective of their ability? Why not .

If such a person is good enough no problem.
If they are not good enough forget it.

I wasn't criticising what you said to be honest.
I'm kind of in the mindset that if your good enough to do the job, then i couldn't care less about what sex you are etc.
We all know that we're living in a world full of box ticking unfortunately.
I was on about her being an ignorant git because that's precisely what she was. Good refs will at least allow players to talk to them
I can say "git" can't I??!

Oh I know you wasn’t pal. I was backing your point up, not arguing against it. It was that @Durutti character who implied my comments and therefore opinions were / are driven by sexism.

Exactly. And she’s not good enough. That’s as deep as it goes

Pete that’s simply not true. My comment was replying to your post where you stated that there should be no women officials in the men’s game. You even added ‘simples’ to add another layer of clarity. You can’t now say that gender is not relevant, when you have shown your view perfectly clearly!

You either want all people to be treated equally or you don’t. My take is that you’re displaying misogynist tendencies through your vocabulary selections and attitudes. Nothing to do with ‘Woke Brigade’ or making things up. Just an observation based upon the facts of what you actually posted.

I haven't seen a Black Ref for years at Deepdale ( was the last one Uriah Rennie ?)
- considering how many black players there are - that's bad imo. Not many coaches, managers, either.
You'd think someone or some group would have been shouting about that, tbh

I have a lasting memory of Uriah Rennie at Deepdale. Can’t remember who we were playing, but we were 3-0 down with a minute or so to go. I was on The Kop, down towards the front. Play came to s standstill right in front of us for yet another needless North End foul. I could not contain myself any longer and yelled out…….”For f—-s sake ref blow yer whistle then we can all get off home”. He looked in my direction, p——d himself laughing and jokingly put his whistle to his mouth before carrying on with the game. Top bloke.

He reffed us on his league debut at Darlington, sent off one of their’s with a second yellow for something like encroachment at a free kick. He sent off two Barnet players at Deepdale and a Northampton player at their place in the game when a classic Andy Saville goal from a Kilbane cross won us the game in the last minute. All games I remember fondly for different reasons.

He was a very good referee who did get some stick but he was always very fit and kept up with play, so was always on top of any incidents.

Wasnt Uriah a Kickboxer or have I imagined that?

That rings a bell. Certainly a big bloke not to be messed with. Anyone know where he is now? Is he still involved in football?

That's what was publicised at the time he was reffing , dunno whether it was true or not, but he certainly looked like he could have been!!

Of course not. I've criticised her too. She'll be good though. (Millar and Browne had bad games too but will probably come good 😊)

To judge her to be inferior to every male who has ever reffed a game is sexist because it can't possibly true: she didn't really change the result of the game. Nobody for PNE got sent off. No stone wall pens denied. It's just factually wrong based on a conscious or unconscious bias against the fact a woman is reffing a man's game.

Why can’t it be true?

He was a talented chap. Put out a number of mind bending albums in the 70s. Many strings to his bow.

 

[Durutti]

As I've said, she hasn't really affected the game. The result wasn't altered by her performance. A poor ref changes the game. She missed some fouls. Big deal. Calling her the worst ever is like saying Ryan Ledson is the worst midfielder we've ever had.

We had one recently against Watford. Decent game from him.
