30 years ago I wouldn't have believed it if you told me i could watch live tv on a 'phone' anywhere in the world and also 'facetime' anyone on the planet. (and other stuff like that)What next....animals as refs?
Sign of the times ? good idea? or just virtue signalling by fast tracking a female over more qualified men, I dont care as long as the ref does a good job.
If competent enough then no reason why not. May even 'temper' the abuse dished out to referee perhaps?
Or make the abuse worse

What skill and physicality do referees need to have?Im not sure refereeing the womens game can in any way be compared to the mens game, the step up in pace, skill and physicality may be an issue for her, lets hope for her sake she doesn't f uck this up, but if she does lets call it out no excuses because she is female
By way of comparison the womens game to top of the range mens game is chalk and cheese, its not rocket science, the differences are stark and as such the quality of refereeing needs to improve accordingly, or didnt you watch the womens world cup, do you recall some of the refereeing catastrophes at that levelWhat skill and physicality do referees need to have?
They need the ability to keep pace with the game for its duration. What else?
I’m guessing no multi-ball system will be in use?Caitlyn Jenner or %^*& off IMO
Hopefully, they get to the standard of men's referring to where no mistakes are ever made.By way of comparison the womens game to top of the range mens game is chalk and cheese, its not rocket science, the differences are stark and as such the quality of refereeing needs to improve accordingly, or didnt you watch the womens world cup, do you recall some of the refereeing catastrophes at that level
Please let it be her.
Please let it be her
lest hope they get to the standard of mens refereeing and can keep mistakes to a minimum, thats the aim all around I would hope, men or women, as you said before theres no skill required so anyone can do itHopefully, they get to the standard of men's referring to where no mistakes are ever made.

yes they didThe refs let a lot of late and hefty tackles go unpunished in the Women’s World Cup.
If shes good enough then it doesnt matter
However, she has only refereed 2 games in Ligue 1 so I dont know how that is enough to be given a game of this magnitude
So shes only been given the game because of her gender and isnt it discrimination theyre trying to stop?
so women are only fit to ref glorified friendlies, Sexist!!!Considering this game is a glorified friendly I'd say she is.

I agree with your assessment but UEFA see it as a prestige match
I'm not getting why she can be considered underqualified here?
Not a massive game and it's not fucking rocket science.
