The referee

The referee

Not sure what you mean there. This thread is full of people comparing her to the male refs as a referee not a woman. She was shocking, she couldn’t keep up with a championship game when we were playing sideways and backwards.

Sian Massey should be inducted. She’s done far more than Rachel and performed much better.

for being a lino?
 
sounds like lasher logic, to me, she was awful for us so she is obviously always shit.

she was the first female to ref at english footballs highest level, it really is that simple.

Sian Massey has yet to achieve that.

Good points fil,
Sian Massey has took her pathway which is offered at Level 4 as a dual official (middle or line)
on marks given through observation.
As far as I can make out she has chosen the assistant path hence her assistant duties at championship level.
I think she is in the select group match officials.

As for Rebecca welsh, fair play to her, takes dedication and strong will power to get up through the refereeing ranks.
We had her and it was not the best performance we have witnessed but that does not make her a poor referee overall.
We all have bad '
uns, at work or play!
For what its worth, the Finney assistant yesterday did a good job, all with a smile and good communication with all players.
Laurent of Stoke got dealt with admirable early doors with a firm verbal, he didn't test the assistant again..

It’s not just us who say it is it. You surely know this?!?

If you look for any twitter comments about her, you'll see that pretty much every team she's refereed has complained about her performance, I've no issue with women refereeing in the men's game, but they have to be there on merit and not just to tick a box, her performances suggest she's there for the latter rather than earning her place in the professional game

Agree. It matters not whether people love her or loathe her, she made history and therefore merits a place in the museum.

I call it as I see it regardless of gender, race, religion or sexual orientation. Those factors don’t enter into it for me, I stand by what I said she wasn’t the best, but I would have said (and have called out poor male refs) that about anyone with the same performance.
 
Welch is a good ref who had a tough game for PNE. I like the fact she won't let people speak to her like she's shite and I don't side with millionaire professionals when they get booked for screaming at the official. She's certainly no worse than her male counterparts. The guy on Saturday was a bell end.
