Even the refereeing was assured tonight compared with some of the crap that we consistently observe in the men's game!
Reffing a women's game has to be easier though because the pace of the game from I have seen is a lot slower in the women's game. I was listening to a podcast today about refereeing in Holland where they are trialing video replay refs and one of the things they said was the speed of the game now simply causes even good refs to struggle to keep up or to see things clearly. This video ref will help that greatly when making key decisions and they have so far used it successfully for a variety of decisions during games. With the apparent standard of refs in Scotland being below par, I would have liked to have seen the refs given this assistance on a trial basis, not in the league but maybe in one of the cup competitions like they are doing in Holland.
