Mike Dean

[mcfc_nick]

He gives a penalty every game. that may be a bit of an exaggeration (although not much) but almost every game he is reffing there is a penalty, he gave one in the burnley blackburn game today which was never a penalty and i just think he likes giving them. i think thats something like 15 penalties he's given this year

He likes dramatically pointing to the spot.

 

[DontLookBackInAnger]

I guess Burnley fans are wishing he had dramatically pointed at the spot, when they should have had a penalty too!

 

[Blue Hefner]

From his angle it looked like a pen, its not his fault that cheating bastard dived. I can't really fault Dean on todays performance I thought he got the 'big' decisions right

 

[GStar]

Easily the best ref in the Prem this year... although his pointing to the spot at Stoke was something Marvel Comics could only dream of!

 

[BlueMooner87]

he is the most consistent ref in the league, peter walton could learn a thing or two off him

The arrogant fucker would never admit it.

 

[1961_vintage]

Good ref IMHO.

 

[Bluemoonbaldboy]

Good ref IMHO.

Thats a really sad but true statement he is the best in the League which just shows how poor ref standards have gone

 

[Bluemoon115]

He's consistent, ie if it's a foul outside the box, then it's a foul inside the box.

Nothing wrong with that.

Having just seen that 'penalty' for the first time....fuck me, what was he thinking? The more and more laughable these decisions get, the louder and louder the call for replays will/should get IMO.

I understand 'human error' and all that, but that decision was absolutely fucking ridiculous.

 

[mcfc_die_hard]

very good ref imo

but he should have sent the keeper off for handling thou

this guy is a joke of a ref and costs clubs millions with his mistakes

 

[hello]

The best of a bad bunch for me, if he sees it as a foul he will give it whereas some wont because its in the box.

At least teams know how is going to ref, twats like walton or atwell on the other hand...

shocking

I don't think he handled it outside the area, i haven't seen it today but from what i remember he let go of it on the line

 

[es1]

Good ref IMHO.

i agree

he makes mistakes, which ref doesnt??

but he gets it right more often than not

I hate that stupid put on frown he has on his face, constantly!

 

[Gray]

If he saw it as a penalty why didn't he send one or both of the Burnley players off, he didn't even issue a yellow card - strange!

When the Blackburn goalkeeper handled outside the area the TV replay clearly showed he had an unobstructed view of the incident yet he waved play on.

The standard of refereeing is appalling and seems to getting worse as the season progresses.
