Rebecca, who refereed one of our games earlier this season (Halifax away?) Has been appointed to Referee a Football League match this coming week.
She will become the first female referee appointed to a game at this level in this country

I thought Amy Fearn had refereed in the League?
Or was she just a linesperson?

Just checked. AF has been refereeing in the league for years.

Amy has taken over having initially been appointed as AR when the initially appointed Referee got injured.

Rebecca is the first female to be appointed to Referee in the EFL

Yes. Astonished it hasn't happened sooner really. I remember at Stevenage there was a female assistant referee (or liner by your leave). Julian was playing. They had a goal disallowed for offside - "you big bully Julian!" I must admit it seemed funny at the time. (You and your politics, Phil )

Only thing I've seen re. A female official was the Middles East TV constantly panning away from her and her bare knees 🙄

What on earth are you on about you profoundly odd creature?

Who is Julian?

How are my politics relevant to the thread

Bizarre!!

Julian was the Steve goalkeeper.

I think his name was pronounced 'Juuuuulliiiiann'

Alan Julian. He must have played against us for half the Conference teams in the SE. Real journeyman. Last seen at Billericay in the Conference South.

Julian was the Steve goalkeeper.

Goalkeeper(surprised if you don't know to be honest). Sort of thread you'd start isn't it. And not strictly Altrincham fc first team related.

Miaow!!!!!!!! (Tempted to comment on your bizarre ad hominem but won't...)

Incidentally, I made a mistake about the incident at Stevenage. It was actually us scoring a goal (unusually at Stevenage). Our friend Julian thought it should have been disallowed for offside and started to run over to remonstrate with her I must admit I don't know her name). Naturally there was some banter directed at him from the Alty support gathered behind his goal. All in good fun (I think). A female liner was probably quite a novelty at the time. I don't know if that was the first occasion we had one at an Alty match - I would think one of the first at least.

Nb to be honest, Phil, it's more about you going on about Labour party policy on the Altrincham fc first team forum after certain people had been on my back for going off topic by posting about health issues (which just happened to be having quite a big effect on this club). Just the other day, Caspar (or Casper) said that this is not a political forum. Not (entirely) true, seemingly. But if it is true, it should apply to people besides me. Just saying.

I think if I remember rightly, Peter Hughes came up with the Juuuullliiaannn chant.

It was done in rasping tones and drawn out as above and intended to put him off.

It was usually followed by a bubble of laughter behind the goals, myself included.

Thanks, I think.

Could you remind me please of the thread in which I make the "political" comments to which you refer?

[Hugh]

Oh, it was that one about Graham Brady, and "Hashtag" writing to him and all that. Personally I've no objection to it but - you see where I'm coming from.
