Gateshead have apologised to female fans who attending their side’s clash against Barrow yesterday in case any were offended by comments heard over the tannoy.
One fan spoke more on what had happen during the Heed’s final game of the season, he said “the mic was left on after a sub I think it was and the announcer said ‘hurry up you stupid woman’ to the fourth official as she didn’t turn the board round quick enough, they only light up one side in the National League.”
A tweet from the club’s official account read: “We’d like to apologise to any female fans and, in particular, the fourth official, who may have been offended by certain comments heard over the tannoy during today’s match.”

My wife laughed her head off, it was a mistake. No harm done, if it was the other way round everyone would be laughing

If it had been a male fourth official and the PA announcer said ‘stupid man’ would there be such an outcry?

Several of us were deeply offended by the inept performance of the referee. Any chance of apologising on his behalf?
