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

[JD]

See that she comes from the West Midlands, so therefore she must be a Villa fan. I think this is a good omen.

[PaulTheVillan]

She's probably the best assistant in the league

[N'ZMAV]

We should give her the clap.

On what do you base that opinion?

[N'ZMAV]

Because all the other ones we have had have been shite.

She's not made a mistake yet

[WikiVilla]

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

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

It was bad enough giving them the vote but now a woman officiating at a game involving Aston Villa Football Club? Has the world gone completley mad?

Emily Pankhurst and the Suffragettes were the thin end of the wedge, I blame it all on that bloody woman running in front of the Kings horse.

(Seriously though, keep your powder dry. All abuse of match officials should be saved up exclusively for whenever Bottler Dowd is allowed near a match of ours again).

[Blackcountry Villa]

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...'

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.

What a load of bollocks.

I fear some of our fans could abuse her and being high profile it will drag us through the mud in the press- I hope I'm wrong.

[WikiVilla]

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.

[Whiney MacWhineface]

She's run the line in a lower league game since, I beleive. And they wouldn't have assigned this game without asking her if she was happy to do it. As Chris says, if she avoids the Premier League, the sexist wankers will have won.

[eastie]

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.

It's not about who's won , it's about protecting her and what's best for her and I feel this will be a high pressure game, I believe the last 2 gAmes she was going to assist that she was stood down , so it's time to get back in the game but I feel would have been easier on her in maybe league one or 2 just for a couple of games.
