Mike Dean

[Breadsnapper]

Some nice football but I have to say we were toothless infront of goal.
Can't honestly blame the ref. Sorry but Micah was caught napping after playing quite well.
Still early days, I think we needed this result just to bri.g one or two down to earth. Onwards and upwards as they say, still gutted though.

Deserved what we got after a really really disappointing second half, poor challebge by Micah. Couldnt be more fucked off.

LONG way to go before we can lose that typical fucking City tag. Cunts.

Deserved what we got? After bossing the game and dominating possession? Playing against a referee who was desperate not to give us a decision?

He must have been dancing with glee when Richards made his challenge as whether fair or foul, the outcome would have been the same. Dean is as bent as they come and seemed determined to prevent us getting a result.

My only surprise in the game was that the linesman didn't flag Tevez offside, but then again he managed to miss to spare their blushes.

Put this one down to one of those days.

We'll resurrect this thread at the end of the season and chuckle to ourselves at just how we got so steamed up over a result that proved insignificant in the grand scheme of the season.

Have to agree there mate, although I think we would have scored had Richards not challenged Bent so we'd have won it either way. Commiserations.

He certainly seeks to favour the underdog.....perhaps it`s because he can get better odds.
As the pen was at the other end of the ground I couldn`t comment on the offside element. But some of the free kicks we didn`t get for what could be classed as assaults was farcial.

Well done, mission accomplished. I know City were shit, I know Sunderland were shit but let me tell you this, no man on the pitch had a worse game than Mike Dean. He gave us nothing what-so-ever unless absoloutly neccasary (i.e corners/throw in's) Tevez, Barry, Y.Toure kept getting munched and we get nothing, meanwhile Sunderland get every decision going left right and centre. What really gets to me is that no on will highlight his shocker, no one will complain against FIFA/F.A. I am sure he has been biased against us before as well.

its bin and gon lets forget about it yeah

But Bent was offside. Have you watched the replay? Had Micah not made the tackle, it might have been more obvious.

don't see what he did wrong 2bh, Barry and De Jong gave away about 5 freekicks each and De Jong only got booked right at the end, looked a penalty to me too, didn't spot the offside though(and I was in line with it, sigh) but yeah, no way the ref could have judged that, so no complaints from me with the ref 2bh.

The Premier League referee Mike Dean has been demoted to the Championship this weekend, as a punishment for his erratic display in Manchester United's 2-1 defeat by Chelsea at Old Trafford last Saturday.

Simon Beck, an assistant referee in the same match, will join him in the second tier after failing to raise his flag when Didier Drogba was clearly offside for Chelsea's second goal. The pair will take charge of Bristol City's home game against Swansea on Saturday.

After the United vs Chelsea match the two officials were criticised by Sir Alex Ferguson for their "poor, poor performance". United's manager was also unsparing in his match report to the Premier League. However, Professional Game Match Officials Limited decided the mistakes were serious enough to demote Dean and Beck without any interference from Old Trafford.

Beck has not been informed when he will next be involved in a Premier League match and is missing from the list for next week's midweek fixtures. Dean, a member of the elite group of Fifa referees since 2002, will be the fourth official for Wigan Athletic's home game against Portsmouth on Wednesday 14 April.

It follows Dean's failure to award penalties for United, when Yuri Zhirkov tripped Park Ji-sung, and Chelsea, when Gary Neville barged into Nicolas Anelka. The 41-year-old also allowed Federico Macheda's goal to stand, rather than awarding a handball against the teenager.

Dean's appointment for such an important game had come under scrutiny because of his performance in Burnley's 1-0 defeat by Blackburn Rovers the previous weekend.

Brian Laws, the Burnley manager, said Dean had been "conned" into awarding a match-winning penalty when Martin Olsson went to ground despite there being no contact from the goalkeeper, Brian Jensen. Olsson has since admitted that he went into the game aware of Dean's reputation for awarding penalties.

Laws said Dean's subsequent appointment to the biggest match of the Premier League season to date was "mad".

After the loss to Chelsea, Ferguson said: "When I saw it was Mike Dean I did worry, I have to say."

As I predicted on my facebook as early as 10am I knew we would get nothing with Mike Dean involved. As long as individuals like him are involved in the game I know it's corrupt. Anyone can make a mistake on the odd decision but not 99% of the time. Before the apologists come on here I'm not using the bookie as an excuse for our inept finishing and lacklustre second half, but as the season goes on more and more of our games will be decided by corrupt officials.
