Four games ban for her "Which one are you ****ing?" comment to the male ref.

Am I alone in thinking the punishment would've been more severe, had the scenario been reversed, and a guy had said summat similar to a lady whistler?

Considering the rules are very clear, massively questioning an officials integrity, with 0 mitigation and it clearly being caught on camera then this is a massively lenient ban. If it was the other way round the outrage would have been much bigger I suspect, but that's irrelevant.

It wasn't and she should count herself very lucky.

Couldn't have put it better myself mate!

I've no doubt that when she's back, she'll be continually reminded of it, both on and off the park.

Similar to "noosegate" the stain on the culprit's character will last faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar longer than that of the "official" punishment.

Yes, it was a heat of the moment comment, but this was on the field, and directed at the referee, questioning his integrity, so..............

As you allude to, a four game ban is lenient.
