If only some of the players got to their feet so quickly !
That's the girl at the centre of the Andy Gray hoop la. Eventful season for her. She's quite a good lino apparently.
Loving the subject/thread name!
Oxymoron-tastic!!! the title would have been better if it had been what the youtube title is :D
Well Andy would you smash it?
QuoteOxymoron
1st cousin of Ogie...
should she not be called a linesman woman?
Is it only me that thinks that
a) that defender didnt need to clash into her - looks like he's headed to his right and steps left to make the contact?
b) Should have at least offered to pick her up?
c) could have found some way between the smash and the pick up to get a wee bum grab?
He blocked the clearance and was turning to chase it down.
I agree on 2 and 3.
I called them b, and c - you partitionist.

Some of the Barca players could learn a thing or two from her.
I agree on A totally did it on purpose, fairly obvious imo.

No way lads. Look where the ball went. He was trying to get after it. they're 3-0 down at the time.

That's what I thought as well until I went back to have a look at what az said. He actually nicks the ball before the defender gets there, goes to chase it before it goes out over the end line and clobbers your one. The ignoramus should have at least offered to help her up though, surprised she didn't chase him using her flag as an umbrella.
Edit: What AZ just said.
I think he took her out, and not for a drink. it was a massive sidestep to collide with her
She went down easy enough..

Usually takes a couple of drinks :o
The ref must have said something over her earpiece as they are both laughing it off.
In fairness she took a good welt of an elbow/Shoulder from behind and jumped right back up, Many's the player that has rouled about the on ground for much less over the years.
Irish sounding name of the lad involved, his "agent" says he is not apologising !!

Yeah maybe he couldn't have avoided her but I just think he gave her a little extra just to make sure she fell..
As for picking her up if he didn't mean to knock her over...well yes I agree it would be the mannerly thing to do in normal walks of life,but if it was a male linesman would we say the same thing?
If she wants to be treated equally as men in the game and not have it a issue that she is a female then I'm sure she wouldn't want to have been fussed over and was probably quite happy to jump back up herself and get on with the game..just a thought

Absolutely - from her perspective. She's still a woman though and he as a man should have offered to pick her up.

Yes that is true,but in this case he is a professional sports person and she is part of the referees team for this particular professional sport.
She being a woman shouldn't come into it,as I'm sure she wouldn't want it to.
So in that regard if nobody would complain that he wouldn't pick a male official up(or maybe some would?) then the same should apply to him not picking her up.
For the record I would have picked her up(and given her a good squeeze on the arse)

In tears laughing at that.
Dirty coward, f**king could have really hurt the lass
what a p***k.
I would have expected him to acknowledge he'd knocked her down and say sorry ffs.
I'd expect the same if she was a man! I know my reaction to knocking down anyone (but particularly a woman) wouldn't be the same as his!
(It also seems to me that he meant it.)

Id say most players would throw a hand out to a linesman or ref if they collided with them, a lot even do it to players from the other team!

If it was a male linesman I don't think it's too much to expect a hand up if a player has knocked him over. Agreed that your one comes out of it with credit for just jumping up and signaling the goal kick.
Male or female he should have apologised - it was a hard hit and the ball was out of play then anyway.
She did well to keep so composed after.

Saw it live and that was my feeling at the time. Credit again to Sian Massey in the latest controvery not of her making that she's involved in.
On watching it again I think he could have avoided her.
Male or female and whether deliberate or could have been avoided he should have apologised. She didnt look for an apology or sympathy which speaks volumes for her character.
He hit her on purpose is my view of it. When the League see the footage i think he's for it.
Thats a joke.
He defo meant to hit her.
Coward.
Ya he defo a big ape of a p***k, should get a big ban for this. If he hit a male ref or linesman in the same way I would expect a ban too.

if she is dressed like that and running about that place you's boys are heading to next week for the golf, i reckon she could be "nailed" again before sunday ! especially with muppet about.
I'd say AZ will be out with his rule book, trying to redefine what a scramble is...
