WTF a woman Lino?

[Tricky Dicky]

Yep. Done very well. Great call for the first goal.

Yup, she did very well. Got a lot of stick from the Wolves fans after the first goal, but got it absolutely right.

I remember a female lino at the goldstone

'That bloke's a bird!' said my mate

 

[dougdeep]

Doesn't anyone remember Wendy Tom at Withdean a few seasons back?

 

[Worthai Seagull]

Could have done with her running the line rather than the idiot at Withdean who told the ref to give Bournemouth a penalty!

Exactly. She has to be better than some of the appalling MALE refs and linos that have graced Withdean this season.

I thought this was about a woman lilo....must get my eyes tested.

 

[hart's shirt]

Sex is neither here nor there.

I'd move then.

 

[smelly]

Only line she should be near is a clothes line

 

[Nottseagull]

put the Liverpool game on and there's a bird running the line.....

A liver bird?

Is this the same woman who made the national TV news as the first female official in an FA Cup match at Burgess Hill many years ago?

When the inevitable wrong decision comes, you can imagine the disgruntled team dumping all their dirty kit at her feet saying 'get this done for Tuesday luv'!

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Yes it's all just false love and affection,

you don't want me you just like the attention

I'm not your toyyyy

She ran the line two or three times for the Albion. I seem to remember we won whenever she was officiating.

It seems that the Keys/Gray sexism row has now affected Sian Massey's officiating career...

They're just making it worse. If tyhey let her run the line in the crewe game no one would care saturday. The more important her part in the story becomes. Let her get on with her job and people will forget about her and concentrate on gray/keys and their replacements.

Massey had been scheduled to be an official at Crewe versus Bradford in League Two on Tuesday night, but was withdrawn by the authorities in order to ensure that the controversy surrounding her did not overshadow the game.

Corby had reported a huge demand for access by television crews after Massey was put in charge of the game.


Deny permission and let her get on with it.

Actually, I'd go the other way. Rest her for a couple of weeks til it's gone out of peoples minds, and she can make a relatively low-key return, and do her job normally - I presume she will get the same stick any other lino gets, otherwise that'll be sexist, surely.

 

[Easy 10]

Pathetic.
How many games is she going to be pulled from ? There's going to be attention on here now WHENEVER she eventually resumes her career, so she might as well get it over and done with and carry on from there. This is the PGMO going totally overboard to "protect" her, and if anything is just underlining the perceived weakness of her as a woman in a mans game.

I bet she'd much rather just get on with it, I feel very sorry for her.

 

[cuthbert]

She should be back as soon as possible, the wrong person is getting punished here. I was also interested to see that Mr Keys sent his wife out to the journos outside his house to deliver tea and state his point of view, Vince Cable did the same thing earlier, hiding behind womens skirts boys?
