Snooker legend Ronnie O'Sullivan says female referees should stick to women's sport following Serena Williams row

Ronnie O'Sullivan says female referees and umpires should stick to women's sport following the Serena Williams row. The snooker legend said: "Female referees are very good but maybe females should referee female matches because they understand how a woman thinks. Maybe men should just referee men's matches because they know how men think. This was what I was thinking when Serena Williams was playing. Men and women are different. They think differently. And men don't really understand women. If a woman was refereeing another woman then she can go: 'Oh, I can understand maybe how she is feeling'." What do you think of that? Does he have a point? Vinny got the views of commentator Heidi McAlpin and journalist Paul Martin.
