Shouting and Heckling a referee or assistant official over a bad decision is almost a given, but to imply the reason the decision was made incorrect was due to the gender of the official is non-sensical and unacceptable.
From my opinion it was offside and that she made a mistake, but mistakes happen in football by all linesmen and at all levels - not just the women. Personally, I think all the linesmen/assistant referees we have had this season have been of a similar standard of mediocrity - be them old, young, black, white, gay, straight, male or female.
Some of the abuse thrown at the women running our side yesterday was totally uncalled for. Baring in mind, the offence people took to Dennis Birch recently, I wonder what peoples reactions would be if a fan claimed the assistant was unable to do their job on the basis of skin colour?
I'd also like to point out the club could have stopped this sorry affair by allowing the majority of vocal fans to stand where they normally do which is not directly infront of a linesman.
