Is it incase a female referee may become biased and fancy one of the guys from either team and show bias to the opposition?...  

Seriously though...we never see women refs at Pro Footy level.

So, either they are being discriminated against on the qualification courses by nasty males or they're just not as in to football as men.

I'll let you choose, but choose wisely, this could be a difficult one for some of a certain mind-set.

Sadly Andy, people's mindset can come it not this in a negative way...if a lassie can ref footy games just as good as a bloke, then what's the poor ken really?, of course it would take much getting used to seeing a female in back referee professional footy games...

And folk can have their opinion of course , but for a Sky Sports reporter to make the comments he did doesn't set a good example for the minds of some already biased, sexist and bigoted males.
