Absolutely disgraceful

Sad and totally unacceptable but not surprising, given the mentality of some of football supporters.

As someone who was at the game I would like to report that Rebecca Welch had an excellent game.  It was my first sighting of her live and I was very impressed.  Not that that has any relevance; this type of abuse is wholly unacceptable under any circumstances.

This is disgusting and anyone proven to have sent this should be banned from watching football for a long time!

I was at the match on Saturday and Rebecca is an exceptional role model, on her arrival a young fan was waiting outside and wanted a photo. Rebecca didn't just have the photo but spent time asking the fan about her football experiences and if she played. The young girl was buzzing after this.

These cretins and low life supporters who hurl this kind of abuse at female officials should be banned from every ground for life.

With respect to the previous poster, only a life time ban on these clowns will go towards stopping this unacceptable behaviour.

Unfortunately, it won’t stop it given the nature of some of these despicable “supporters”.

Whilst in no way condoning what happened, kudos to the Lincoln chairman for fronting up and saying how unacceptable it is.  Would be dead easy for clubs to avoid the publicity and sweep sweep sweep but he seems to have brought it up himself

Very depressing. I'm looking forward to seeing Ms Welsh in the middle for the first time at a live game this Saturday.

He's handed it very well. He seems furious about the neanderthals who have embarrassed the club.
