in a different way than in a women's games for lifetime. but that's why it's very important for me to referee as many men's games as possible from workers to lighten. ha ha. women referees at men's games are still the exception to the top tier, the gym and football. there are currently only 7 of them. one in the 3rd division and 6 in the regional leagues, the german face and catching up to do, but not the fans in the stadium. they like referees like fences give hopefully the motives is doing a great job and she's in charge. you can hear some things today because it's not so loud. a lotus democracy is doing a good job today in the fema referees, we have in germany also do a good job and they're learning every day, just like their male colleagues. a colleague that such and kind of an of, of course, a woman can also referee abundance like a match or a regional lake match. i think that's a quality like breaking the darby between

regional rivals hill. this hyman, hanover makes a 27 year old, really. and her money, she runs about 10 kilometers asking for while players can take little breathing now and then vote for as constantly on the move. and some t. she has to calm down a hot headed place. oh. 6 it would soon granddad soon emotions are repulsive. it's done been and if someone's upset i'm certainly not going to get loud to that doesn't help at all this in winter cotton glosson. first of all i let any emotions in madame ashton was sometimes you also have to show some understanding in oxford to help you deal with each situation. whether that means a yellow card is called for, or some calming words can help walk to his oh francisco vote for a manager quite well this afternoon. she's always there always around the ball and she makes the right decision, having a female referee after 90 minutes of play. it's not an issue that mo,

spectators or players think twice about which one of us would promote. he did a good job. we haven't had a woman ref in a long time. i'm happy i was about to feed much on was he could tell she was a bit overwhelmed. it wasn't fair how she handed out the cards. we got 6. the others only got 2 or 3 because she after the game, the officiating crew only takes a short break in the locker room, and then they start evaluating their we're doing for the good news is irish and as long as it's right, if you 6 ought oh, it was okay, so to get older, i miss. i did you get a 2nd all my time you have a good finish. know what went well and what didn't francisco very

fire and her team, a critical evaluation of that performance is part of the job as a shop. it's or to not. there's not a single scene from the game today where i say, wow, i'm a bit unsure punish system. still, it's important to look at the scenes again after the game to discuss them with the referee observer to analyze them. both may be a few running late, may be the angle, could have been different. we look at all that sounds done on some of these matters early in the evening. the 3 of them set off for home, around 250 kilometers of driving, lie ahead of them. in the n, francisco, verify his day will have been around 10 hours long. refereeing is a time consuming hobby. very far as other life her every day working life takes place here. we that it says to the pits and whom doctor, belinda francisco. betrayal. emma like

which of the rain doesn't bother her. after all, football is it laid in almost every kind of weather. physical fitness is the most important thing for referee. in addition to a thorough knowledge of the rules, of course, the referees have to be at the top of their game. only the best make it in the high divisions. francisco big fire wants to achieve that immense football as well as content to me fall off, as i said, is completely on the here, and now i want to referee gains well to be physically fit munsey, then we'll see what happens in the next few weeks. months or even years. you're one woman who made it all the way to germany's top tier is b. b a shine house starting in 2017. she referees matches in the mens bundles legal for 3 years. bid for a much di house at a germany fe training since then the 2 has spoken often to each other,

including about ham or female referees could make their way into men's football. yeah, i think it's very important that we and germany are prepared to develop female referees in the same way as male referees to get some help and opened up paths to create opportunities for them so that they can perform well on the pitch last questions. so i think the past has proven that whether someone can perform well as a referee on the football pitch is not a question of gender switch. switch to the actor, present abilene con francisco very for his next match is approaching. this time it's in the women's blunder. steger involves book. she's preparing thoroughly for it for days in advance. she looks of the tactical systems employed by both teams and studies. the teen lineups that let her draw conclusions about,

among other things, the roots, she'll need to run while refereeing the game. then it's time to put that theoretical program into practice. a thorough warm up is part of preparing for the game. not only for the teams, but also for the referees that run any giving you some valves, some movement sequences. and of course, also some athletic training said that you target different muscles with and so it's not just running back and forth, but it has various exercises. the tight aid for sure. no problem and is problem market. the game is one side. it bowls berg, the many time german champions dominate. freshly promoted cologne. there are plenty of tackles of foul. and the cologne penalty area as often a hub of activity. beard fire has to pay attention. she likes to stay in direct contact with the place and talk to them. i'm excited.
