Sian Massey, 25, posted photos on her MySpace page of her dancing at a party and enjoying a holiday.
Miss Massey, who is said to be ‘sanguine’ about row and hoped to quickly put the matter ‘behind her’, is due back on the pitch as a match official tonight.

But the TV commentators, whose remarks about Miss Massey and a female soccer boss led to them being hauled off the screen by Sky Sports, may have ruined their own careers.
Presenter Richard Keys and pundit Andy Gray, who were suspended for yesterday's game between Bolton and Chelsea, were last night locked in a bitter row over whether to make a public apology.
Miss Massey, who also has a day job as a PE teacher, has accepted a private apology from Keys, according to the Professional Game Match Officials Board.
But campaigners and bosses have urged both men to say sorry on screen for comments made off air but later leaked to the media.
Ahead of Saturday’s Premiership clash between Wolves and Liverpool, they questioned whether a female linesman knew the offside rule.
The commentators, who apparently believed their microphones were switched off, were recorded making disparaging remarks about Sian Massey, 25, before Liverpool’s Premiership clash with Wolves yesterday.

They also criticised Apprentice star and West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady who had yesterday written about sexism in a newspaper column.
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?’
Later in the exchange, Mr Keys said: ‘The game’s gone mad. Did you hear charming Karren Brady this morning complaining about sexism? Do me a favour, love.’
Ms Brady had said she had ‘experienced sexism at its rankest, lies about my personal life and a level of calculated mischief that is simply appalling’.
Sky Sports, which quickly apologized after the scandal emerged, yesterday released its own footage of additional remarks to those leaked.
In the new tape, Gray is heard discussing the appearance of Miss Massey and disputing the opinion that she is ‘a bit of a looker’.
Sky’s decision to introduce the tapes into the public domain raises serious questions about his future at the broadcaster.
The 55-year-old is reputed to earn £1.7million a year for his punditry and along with anchorman Keys has been an integral part of the pay TV station’s coverage of football for nearly two decades.
A Sky insider said bosses had ‘let the dogs off the leash’ to protect the Sky brand.
‘There has to be a grovelling apology from both of them.
Sky reporter Andy Burton (right): 'Apparently, a female lino today, a bit of a looker...according to Steve the cameraman.'
Gray(left): 'A female linesman?'
Burton: 'He says she's alright...now I don't know if I should trust his judgement on that.'
‘A lot of people have just been waiting for this to happen. Sky have played every bit of footage that incriminates them.
‘From what I can gauge people have been waiting for a long time to knock them off their perch.’
Miss Massey, who is due to officiate at tonight’s League Two match between Bradford City and Crewe Alexandra, is was not at her home in Tile Hill, Coventry, last night and was unavailable to comment. ( dailymail.co.uk )
