Michael Oliver is a Premier League referee, so it was odd to see him running the sidelines at an Arsenal womens game. Turns out, he didn't start out the night indentding to ref.
Michael Oliver is in the crowd tonight. Weird to see him in civilian clothing somehow.....
— Tim Stillman (@Stillberto) August 27, 2015Fucking hell. There has legit been a call the tannoy for a qualified assistant ref to report to the tunnel.
— Tim Stillman (@Stillberto) August 27, 2015You can guess what happenef next. Michael Oliver is decidedly a qualified ref, so he did his thing as the side judge.
Family affair at @ArsenalLadies tonight. PL ref Michael Oliver stepped in from crowd to run line after asst injured, wife Lucy is the ref!
