Yes, Sian Massey is an excellent 'referee's assistant',and you would expect that - after all she must have had to be very good at her job indeed to be considered for PL games ahead of hundreds of male linesmen.
However, running the line in no way involves the same skillset as playing football!
Question is... would you let her rule you offside?
 
Sian Massey's probably better than 99% of males linesmen...because she has to be. When you know you're going to be up against so much opposition, and that everybody is just sitting there waiting for you to screw up so that they can say LOOK SEE I TOLD YOU SO WOMEN CAN'T BE LINESMEN, you have to make sure you've got everything down perfectly.

And she sure as hell does, she get's calls right that no other assistant would even see

She is good, but I think she gets put on a pedastal. People pay her more attention when she is at a game due to the press that surrounded her. Most people probably cant even name another linesman thus don't really assess their individual performances
 
I think it's a bit ridiculous that we're even having this conversation. So fucking what if she's a woman.
If she's good enough then there's nothing wrong with it. The only time it becomes a problem for me, is when she gets the job BECAUSE she's a woman. Best man for the job, and if that man is a woman, so be it.
 
I don't get why anyone(men or women) would care about whether or not a player is good looking.

If I want to look at beautiful women I watch porn or just walk out on the street(yeh, it is that simple if you live in Scandinavia). If I'm at a football game I have no interest in what the players look like(male or female). I just want to watch football and have a laugh with my mates.

Having said that, I don't attend women's football, but I'm sure you get my point.
 
she was put on a pedestal by those morons at Sky, remember? after that she was under intense and unfair scrutiny way above what any other lino would be, it must have been difficult for her, she never asked for and probably never wanted the attention. luckily she is very good at her job, but in turn that means she ends up getting patronised all the time just for being able to do her job properly which is also unfair on her. all cause of those 2 wankers

Fergie can, and does. :D
 
All the talk about women keepers being shit ... most are, but Hope Solo is a fucking beast. She's also hot as hell, crazier than a bag of hammers and has terrible choice in men.

Very polite of City to score 11 goals and run their offence to the right, so that the camera sees as much of it as it can.

Very impolite of City not to switch it up and attack consistently from the left in the second half.

At the end of the day, arent we just all here to fuck bitches and get money?
