You do develop a thick skin when running the line, it goes with the job. If you listened to every comment that was made you would soon lose your concentration and therefore not function properly.  It isn't always possible though as I found out in my younger days when running the line in the Midland Comb.  It was a night match at Paget Rangers and for some unknown reason some bloke behind me took an instant dislike and he obviously didn't agree with a few decisions I gave. It was obvious he didn't think my fitness was all it should have been (it was I was young then) because I gave an offside decision and he yelled for all to hear " come on linesman keep up, you've got legs like Douglas fuckin Bader!" priceless.

Fair play to her for making it to premier league level- must be really tough for her to be fair, with chants of ' gets your tits out for the lads' and stuff - the girl has got a lot of spirit and I wish her well as I'm sure the spotlight will be on her, if she does make a huge error please let it be in our favour!

Now that is just ridiculous - when has a huge error ever gone in our favour

She's going to get ripped to shreds, poor cow.

'Andy Gray my lord Andy Gray...'

'Stayed in the kitchen, you should have stayed in the kitchen...'

'Get your tits out for the lads...'

Another bunch of football fans embarrassing themselves, that'll make a change.

I'm sure that in those quieter moments you close your eyes and wish that she was also black. Imagine the fun you'd have then.

I can honestly say that in all my years following the Villa, I've never been bothered who it is running the line.  Certainly up until the moment when they get a decision wrong. 

I'm not going to start worrying about it now.

Well, actually, wouldn't it be better if we ignored the fact that she is running the line and just enjoyed the game. It would show Villa fans in a much better light. Frankly, I'm embarrassed by the idiots who started chanting Andy Gray at the Wigan and Old Trafford games.

The media will be watching closely waiting for the derogatory songs etc. Why not come up with some favourable ones and suprise them.
Instead of "Lets all have a disco" how about "Lets all burn our bra's"

I would be disappointed if people are making up chants to sing at a poor girl trying to do her job, surely we as fans are better than that and it would not go down well.

Let's have an enjoyable weekend and get the 3 points and hope that sian has a good game and we win!

Personally, I would hope that she is just allowed to get on with her job and abused if she gets things wrong like every other match official.

When I consider the songs we sung when I was a youth at the Villa in the 70s and 80, I'm not inclined to pass judgement.
