Kid Icarus Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 There was a time when he was honestly the best ref in the league for a good few years imo. I want to say maybe 06 to 11, but don't hold me to it. Proper giant ego on him like and the high profile mistakes became more frequent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiesteve710 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Honestly can't think of a god thing to say about him. Other than the old cliche Mike Dean has gone. Good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Possibly the most anti-NUFC ref of the last 10-12 years I think. You have to go back to early Ashley era and Rob Styles to find someone who fucked us over as many times as Dean did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 is he the cunt that yellow carded shola away from home (everton?) for fuck all, then basically goaded him into a second yellow and sent him off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Any referee that intentionally makes the game about himself rather than the actual teams and players can fuck clean off. He was that arrogant he thought he was the main attraction and for that reason alone I'm delighted he's leaving the sport, he's an utter cunt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 The only decent thing he did was in the Stoke away game, when were ahead late in the game we kept using the towels to dry the ball, for us it was about wasting time. They complained and I remember Dean shrugging his shoulders and saying something along the lines ' well you used them'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokerprince2004 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 A tribute to the chicken killing machine that is Mike Dean. Always found him funny myself when he's not refereeing our matches. He has got to be better than that idiot on BT Peter Walton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) Given that it seems like we are going to have games with loads of added time and loads could happen in that added time,will the 4th official need to display added time at 90mins then, if say 13mins is added, then display after 13mins how long is added to the added time ?

Tina Tooner Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Going by some of the yellow cards dished out in community shield final we need to be careful this season. Not gona get away with the stuff we pulled last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gona get away with the stuff we pulled last season. Long overdue rule change. Soft touch refereeing has facilitated and enabled some of the ugliest aspects of the modern game. Saw some tenuous pushback from Varane earlier: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66426840 Basically wants carte blanche to behave like stroppy teenagers.

Astroblack Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) Hating the new reffing initiative. Players are going to be sent off left, right and center. Looked like it was zero tolerance for protestation, so one technical foul or late challenge will see players being sent off. Refs will have a massive influence on games going forward. And what happens if half the team protest the red? Yellows and reds presented all around for the protest. Football’s far too emotional a game for this to work.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Nobody should really be speaking to the referee. But you’re right that we have created the culture in football where it’s expected, and it’s going to be really hard to try and change it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) Referees shouldn't be abused but I don't know why they need to be treat like some kind of deity. If he makes a poor call and a player reacts by punching the ground or something I don't think the game is being damaged. Certain players (like Fernandes and beatiful Joelinton) take the piss a bit and probably need singling out.

The Prophet Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 The problem with this rule, like almost every rule brought in is that won't be applied consistently across the board. That in itself is part of a wider issue, the standard of refereeing is so bad that it doesn't earn the respect it should. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
