Women are grossly underrepresented in professional football , both in terms of TV coverage of female games and in the number of women working in the male section of the sport . Those that do venture into men 's football are often subjected to regular abuse - according to the campaign group Women In Football , two thirds of females working in the industry have been on the receiving end of sexual harassment . So a female lineswoman who was filmed talking back to the Ponte Preta footballer Biro Biro during the Campeonato Paulista match on Sunday has been heralded a hero by fellow members of her sex . Scroll down for video . Tatiane approaches Ponte Preta footballer Biro Biro to argue back against a criticism he had about one of her decisions . During the match between Sao Paulo and Ponte Preta , lineswoman Tatiane Sacilotti is seen to signal a throw-in . But Biro Biro is not happy with the decision and heads over to Tatiane to give her a dressing down . Unimpressed with the attack , Tatiane takes it upon herself to follow Biro back down the pitch , arguing back furiously . Shocked by the comeback , Biro then walks off with a wave of his hand , so Tatiane heads back to her post with a fuming backwards glance . The clip has since been shared hundreds of times on social network sites . @ CANNCDavis wrote on Twitter 'Looool Tatiane Sacilotti has made my day she was not having it . ' Another said : 'Brazilian lineswoman puts abusive player back in his box . ' Tatiane is furious as she follows Biro Biro up the pitch . As Biro Biro is shocked into heading back onto the pitch , Tatiane heads back to her post , shooting a glowering look back at her opponent . It is n't the first time in recent years that a lineswoman has been headline news . In January 2011 , TV commentators Andy Gray and Richard Keys , who apparently believed their microphones were switched off , were recorded making disparaging remarks about Sian Massey , 25 , before Liverpool ’ s Premiership clash with Wolves . Commenting on Ms Massey , Mr Keys said : ‘ Somebody better get down there and explain offside to her. ’ Mr Gray , a former Scottish international footballer , replied : ‘ Can you believe that ? A female linesman . Women don ’ t know the offside rule. ’ Mr Keys replied : ‘ Course they don ’ t . I can guarantee you there will be a big one today . 'Kenny ( Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish ) will go potty . This isn ’ t the first time , is it ? Didn ’ t we have one before ? ’ Gray ’ s contract was immediately terminated by Sky Sports ' managing director Barney Francis for unacceptable behaviour , while Keys resigned soon after . Name : Tatiane Sacilotti Dos Santos Camargo . Born : Brazil , February 10 , 1986 . Age : 29 . Job title : Assistant referee . Tatiana faced much abuse during her junior years as a referee , including being spat at by fans . By 2011 , she had graduated to the premier league in Brazil though , where she has stayed ever since . Tatiana 's dream is to work up the career ladder at FIFA and her idol is the Brazilian referee Luis Flavio de Oliveira . To substitute her income as a referee , Tatiane has launched a pancake delivery service with her mother Antoinette called House of Pancake , which sells 29 different recipes . The family , who are descended from Italians , run the company together - Tatiane and her mother make the pancakes and her father and brother deliver the produce . When she is not busy with one of her jobs , Tatiane is deeply religious and regularly attends church in Cachoeira . She also exercises daily with a personal trainer , where she does circuit training and runs eight km . Speaking of her parents ' reaction to her training as a referee , she told refnews.com : 'She supported me at the time . 'My mother does not even like football but she watches all of my games and requires complete silence in the room and bites her nails . 'She gets mad when they say I messed up , but she does not know whether it was right or wrong . 'Her support has been very good . ' Although she is well respected in the game , Tatiane continues to suffer abuse from men in the game occasionally . During one incident in 2013 , a footballer complained about one of her decisions and assaulted her . Tatiane said : 'He complained much of a marking mine . ' I asked him to calm down and put a hand on his chest . 'Then he slapped me , but it was light , not reported to the referee . '
Tatiane Sacilotti was working a match between Sao Paulo and Ponte Preta . Brazilian lineswoman was abused by footballer Biro Biro for a decision . But she chased the Preta star down the pitch and argued back .
