But don't female/male refs get trained by the exact same people?
That may well be the case, but they get paid significantly less and therefore have less chance of making a career out of it. Most have a second job. So there's a multitude of intangible factors that play a role...would you perform as well in the same job whilst on a pittance and working other jobs, as opposed to someone who makes a comfortable living out of it?

irrelevant, as there are two mistakes here; the one in the game and the other one made by uefa in deciding to replay the remaining amount of time - for which the funding argument holds no relevance
im sure there is some apt phrase i should use in the situation around multiple mishaps not equating to a correct decision
I was just addressing Irvine's point about referee training in general, without relating it to the mistakes in this game. I guess you could say the same to Irvine - that referee training didn't play a role in this case.
