Now, before you ladies savage me, it's not because I don't think female officials are up to the job, but I don't believe most players will respect them. It's very much a lads culture and most players will view these women as outsiders and people who shouldn't be there, and in turn they won't respect their decisions etc. It's hard enough getting some of them to respect male officials' decisions!

So no, for me it should be male officials only in the men's game.

Thoughts?
