Selwyn played FC last season in our big game towards the end of it all. Had a ref come up from Dunedin for the game. He was a male, but was a brilliant ref. Best one we have struck in the last several seasons. Didn't know anyone or any pre-conceived ideas. Think it is a great idea.
Whether female or not won't make players change. They will still shout abuse at the referee. It's how she stands her ground or deals with it which will dictate how the players are. Just like any referee.
