According to Pavel, referee Alcon approached her and uttered the following words:“Hey brown-hair – let’s get coffee this afternoon.” An infuriated Pavel replied during the game, warning the official – “better stick to blowing your whistle.”

She went further to suggest to Spanish agency Efe that Alcon was “provoking” her during the encounter. “I’ve stopped believing in football, in fair play,” she said. “I feel helpless, humiliated. In the many years I’ve been playing football I’ve never felt so ashamed.”
However, she didn’t say if Alcon’s officiating became affected afterwards, but the Spanish football federation, RFEF, are said to be investigating the rather strange incident.
This sort of thing has been a growing trend in sports in recent times, as West Indies cricket star Chris Gayle was fined for asking a reporter out during the Australian Big Bash, while a commentator at last year’s Australian Open asked Serena Williams to ‘twirl’ after a game.
