Female linesmen - the future?
This (User Posted Link and the difficult call she made (saw it on MOTD last night) made me think maybe we should have more female linesmen?
The tricky thing with offside has always been you have to look at two places at once (the ball being played and the defensive line), this is easier on tv (and if you are sitting back from the side of the pitch) when you can possibly see them in your line of view (and made much easier if someone pauses play when the ball is played) but when you are on the side of the pitch (as the linesmen is) it's pretty damn tricky.
Women generally have much better peripheral vision than men (evolutionary thing apparently) so they should be better suited to watching the line and seeing when the ball is played out of the corner of their eye.
Any thoughts?
