Referee's
 

A lot has been made about the comments made by Sky pundits Andy Gray and Richard Keys last week regarding the capabilities of women linesmen and the offside rule. To my mind one or two of their male counterparts need to brush up on theirs too, I've just watched the Stoke v Sunderland game and one of the Linesmen was the same one who officiated at the Gooners v Everton match mid-week, to say he was useless is an understatement. On Wednesday he fail to flag Saha offside, the forward was at least 3 yards offside when the ball was played, who it touched on the way through is immaterial, it was offside, Today same linesman failed again to flag a Stoke forward offside when there was clearly only one player between the forward and the goal line when the ball was played again clearly offside, me thinks this chap needs to re-examine the rule book as a matter of urgency

He sounds like the ( to the tune of gary glitter ) ' hello hello,super linesman,super linesman ' when Rovers scored an offside goal and so went up at gig lane at bury in 1979 :D.
Get women with good eyesight running the line i say.
Legs Flattering girlswear while running the line would also be appreciated thank you. ;)
JUST JOKING LADIES
