Rebecca Welch to referee Charlton vs Burton

Have heard Rebecca is doing very well in her 1st season as an EFL Referee after making history last season. Rumoured to be on course for a promotion to the Championship already!

Can't be worse than some we have had this season.

    Good luck to her. At least she won't have "small man syndrome", like a lot of refs.

    Yeah was really disappointed when he took charge of our game against Reading.

    Thought he'd be a breath of fresh air - Ended up not having a clue

    Personally I think the standard of the refereeing at this level is poor, so hopefully a big improvement.

    Hopefully she can keep up with play - not a few this season have had problems doing so due to their beer bellies.

    When you have the likes of Stroud and Linington officiating at Championship level it doesn't give you much confidence and hope in the lower divisions especially when Kettle is still in a job.

    I remember a lady linesperson signalled  a penalty offence to us  against Port Vale around 1996 or so. Vale players gave her abuse but she just stood there ,flag out and told the referee what she saw. Unlike the assistant referees of today who see sod all.

    And the Charlton programme had her listed as Mr W Toms. Classic Burrows error!

    No problem with this,actually surprised more women are not refereeing games,always thought Sean Massey -Ellis would be refereeing as she is one of the best linos in the game.

    Bit embarrassed this is even a thread tbh - this belongs in the match thread, not a separate one like it matters.

    Never forgave her for the way she treated Tim Healy

    Generally agree, but I've noticed that we've Sam Purkiss a few times who has actually been really good. Anyone else spotted him? Even got a comment off Curbs one game.

    Not to derail the thread though. Good on Rebecca - hope she can deal with the woeful standard of football.

    I hope she does well, as others have said the bar for reffing a league one match is very low, there’s some right shockers, I won’t be surprised if she’s much better than what we’ve seen so far, I don’t care whether it’s a bloke or a women, as long as they are good at their job.

    Will be interesting to see how she deals with Stockley v Deji round 2.

    I hope she will be successful and successfully utilised refereeing women's football instead of mens. This relentless push for replacing men with women in every sphere of life may look like some "great leap forward" [to the woke among us]  I think it will do in refereeing what it does elsewhere ~ it will turn many very able men away from ever wishing to now pursue that particular profession. It is not the sex of the referee that needs changing, it's the standard of refereeing that needs improving. 

    As The West slowly sinks further and further into the abyss, we can be thankful that all this woke nonsense will go down with it. And hope for a return to common sense, tradition and family values and clear roles for men and women to live by and follow and a welcome return to calling a spade a spade. 

    Wishing Rebecca all the very best refereeing the ladies.
