Our assistant ref for Saturday is.........

[Whiney MacWhineface]

I agree that it would be better on her for her to be reintroduced at a lower league game without such high profile as the premiership, just to get her back into the game and then when the dust settles resume premier duties- I really wish her well on Saturday.

She has!

[Risso]

I think the Premier League are wrong to put her out there
They should be protecting her not feeding her to the lions

Then the Keys/Gray mentality will have won.

Quite right.  Not picking her would be the same as resting a black player after receiving racist abuse.

Blackpool - Coventry ! how will she make it home in time to get the dinner on ?

She's from Coventry? Bollocks! She's bound to hate us then

[eastie]

Surely there should be some sort of rule in place where officials can't be chosen for games involving teams within say a 30 mile radius of their hometown, I thought that used to be the case?

PaulTheVillan: She's probably the best assistant in the league
-------------------

On what do you base that opinion?

She's not made a mistake yet

yes she has. just moments after torres' first goal against wolves.

[WikiVilla]

I don't disagree, I would just have given it a month or so more
I hope our fans don't rip her apart

[damon loves JT]

Dare I suggest that Blackpool/Villa is not considered a high-profile game by anyone but us and the donkey-fanciers.

[DrGonzo]

Jesus, is this really worthy of a thread?

[eastie]

Any premier game is high profile in this day and age- either way I hope it all goes well for her and us.

[nadz3488]

Why is everyone making such a big deal of this whole female ref thing?

Every other official has to deal with abuse, it is something that she will have to put up with if she wants to make it; the blind bastard.

[Fergal]

Jesus, is this really worthy of a thread?

Yes, we will have a thread about anything.  We once had a 30 odd page thread about the Bartons closing after a Man City game.  Then there are the numerous Peter Crouch threads, it's about time we had another one...

[cdbearsfan]

The Barton's closed after the Spurs game too. Bastards.

[Nastylee]

Leave the poor cow alone. Looking at the ass.

Sexist pig.

What I was thinking.

Talk about misquoting someone. You bastards!

[supertom]

I'd smash it!
