No problem right? She’s a woman with an interest, who watched the game and wanted her say. Just like most other commentators would. Except, she’s a woman – so she was instead inundated with some pretty horrific trolling: *Warning – These tweets contain offensive language and some readers may be offendedThink that Messi pen is so disrespectful more I see it. Just let Suarez take the pen if you want to be such a good team mate.

Rather than allowing these bullies to air their opinions in private, Lynsey started retweeting them into her timeline.

Explaining why she chose to expose the trolls, Lynsey wrote:Fuck off you fucking titbag we need sandwiches not opinions you slag https://t.co/VhIX8KDHXt

Most people in football get a fair bit of trolling, I just decided to retweet a few! I'll be on #EuropaLeague tom as usual. Thx4 all support — Lynsey Hipgrave (@lynseyhipgrave1) February 17, 2016
Just a very small taster of what we have to put up with. The crime was being a woman and expressing an opinion. Still a long way to go
