If we did get a female ref she certainly couldnt be any worse than the male ones we have, and if she is anything like my missus she wont miss anything !
Now there sounds a voice of experience

Can someone explain to me what the significance of the gender of the officials is?

Can someone explain to me what the significance of the gender of the officials is? Would have thought that after over 100 years of Male Referees that would be obvious. Do a letter to Times lamenting the absence of a woman referee in todays game.

I still call them lino's. The one west stand side got quite a few obvious decisions wrong (for both sides). The ref the same. The lino on the far side was the best of the bunch.
The most random thing I have ever heard shouted out at a football match was "I like speedway...........and other bikes". They were obviously off there tits or trolley or both.

I awaiting the day when we get a woman referee - that will get the West Stand hard nuts going!
Nice idea in theory Evers, but wouldn’t it stop Tottie from giggling, being silly and turn her into bossy boots?

Always remember the bloke in the old Hotel End particularly in the First Division days shouting out " i'm a West 'am supporter' at most games. Always caused a ripple of amusement!

A guy near me used to insist that every ref who gave a decision against Bayo was a racist.

DA "A few of the fans were screaming for the ball to get smacked forward and I think that kind of put a bit in people's heads and it didn't help." Right, who was it?

For the past several years I've sat (actually stood) on the back row of the North with the rest of tbe great unwashed, so this topic doesn't really apply to me, but I can help you out on this one DC. Last night I was sat in the lower tier one row from back south side of mid centre, and there was a very passionate bloke behind me who had seriously got it in for O'Toole, too slow, always plays it backwards, senior player who's useless, should have left ages ago etc. At one point in the second half when Turnbull had the ball at his feet and he played it sideways to Barnett, the same bloke bellowed FORWARDS... such was the atmosphere last night, I'm sure Austin heard, and seemed to have a quiet word with Turnbull a few seconds later. Sure enough, next time Turnbull receives the ball he tries to take the ball down the line under the close attention of a Wycombe player and promptly runs ball out of play. Blame Austin then?

Last night I sat in Row N seat 131 so not so far from the guy bellowing ‘fwd’ which appeared to come from centre of West Stand mid position say row R ? Does this help in indentifying the ‘culprit’?

He wasn't the only one Evers. He surprised me with his character assassination of JJ, I didn't bother turning round to check him out although my mate had a conversation with him. His FORWARDS cry did seem to have an effect on both Austin and Turnbull though. Perhaps it was just coincidental.

I’m off the fence DA won’t be here long.... Making comment about fans screaming forward contributed to the defeat !!! Classic People have been heard to shout forward when we pissed league two under wilder,it’s a wonder he never mentioned it!! At £24 a pop I think you should command the right to stand and shout Forwards Backwards Sideways Up Down Round and round Potato Marrow Hedgerow Hedgehog Or whatever else takes your fancy. Good luck to the mystery forward shouter!!

Oh, so because you pay your money you can shout whatever you want? If I was DA I'd be annoyed at the idiotic shouts of forward every time the team attempts to play some football. Some fans have never played the game and have absolutely no clue, those same fans would moan if we smashed it forward and then shout "play some football Austin".

That is literally what happens. People shout get it forward then people shout keep the ball and round and round in circles they go.
