Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 According to FIFA....any official in a premier league game must have passed the standard referees test.....for a person to do a line they have to have passed the referees test..... I was surprised to hear exactly what this involved.....its no walk in the park for a man let alone a woman.....i dont know the exact ins and outs i just remember listening to all the fitness tests they have to pass and thinking This tells a little bit more. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/manchester_united/article6871948.ece This one gives a better idea http://en.uefa.com/trainingground/referees/fitness/video/videoid=741903.html Maybe she can just jog to the kettle and back for now Thats it mate, all she's gotta do is keep the kettle boiling lol.

bird 10,004 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Whilst I agree with the examples you've gave (Fireman and Coppa), We're talking about the job of a linesman/woman here mate. All she's got to do is run up and down the side of the pitch, wave her flag about and more importantly know how to make all her male colleagues a decent cuppa tea at half time I think a woman is capable enough to play that role lol.

So it dont matter if she or any other women or paki, or black were doing the job its still the same exam to pass. and by all acounts she done the job right, and thats all that matters to me .
