t right now 
It's good news that the opportunity is there and I hope she's at least as good if not better than what we have, which is all that should matter in the end. Good luck to her & hopefully she can become a role model for both better refereeing overall as well as modernisation of attitudes.
Hopefully this means players won't be so aggressive whenever they don't get their own way. I only have the slightest passing interest in football (work in a pub where it's always on, it's a case of either be bored stiff or learn to enjoy it) but the constant paddy-throwing and abusing of the officials really sours my view of the players.

Well Sian Massey is the best lines person we've ever had so no reason why she won't do a good job .... although men refs haven't exactly set a high bar have they
Your post is a little ambiguous so just in case - the first female Premier League ref on 23rd December is Rebecca Welch.
It's surprising in this day and age that it's such a 'thing'
If a new male ref was coming into his first game, would we say things like
"As long as he's good enough"
or
"As long as he's fit enough"
It would just be assumed that he is otherwise he wouldn't have been selected, just like we should assume the woman is otherwise she wouldn't have been.
Good luck to her.
