Ref Watch

So by not acting on the hair pulling incident, Spurs could have played the game a man down which Chelsea subsequently could have then won. Is this not fixing the outcome of a match?
If you could link that to a beneficiary then it would be Pandora’s box, the whole lot would come down, think Italian football (where the money was) X50…..With my conspiracy head on, the Paqueta betting revelations came out at an opportune moment for some, compare reactions to both incidents (there’s no comparison) one could ruin football, the other is a few quid on an island the other side of the world. No doubt behind the scenes conversations have taken place (before Deans interview) between all parties, and when pushed people sometimes want to push back, it seems this is him saying I won’t be shushed/bullied. I wonder what news the FA/PL etc were burying when going after Ivan Toney ?
was there something around that time ? Anything to do with refereeing or results ? If you listen to Toney & read between the lines, he suspects there are bigger things at play
 
Dean is definitely a loose cannon. The transfer from top flight refereeing to VAR must pretty much be automatic, and I reckon Webb couldn't wait to get rid of him. Same with Mason. Webb only wants compliant officials working for him. He'd have a team of Attwells or Cootes of he could.

He's already got plenty of C.... in his team.
 
VAR should be like an audit of the integrity of decisions and an opportunity to address clear and obvious mistakes. The fact that the refs and the VAR officials are all from the same pool - clearly ‘mates‘ - is undermining the objectivity and the potential benefits of VAR. the PL needs to look at PIGMOL - it is not fit for purpose and needs a new model with significantly better accountability, performance and professionalism. Any referring body needs to report directly to the Independent regulator, not directly to the PL because effectively that’s like reporting to the red shirts - hence the problem we have created.
 
It’s interesting today that the FA’s response to the Mike Dean revelation is dismay that it has come to light - if they had any integrity they’d be launching an immediate enquiry to understand what the hell is going on… instead we will be treated to another weekend of apologies whilst Mr Corruption himself Howard Webb remains at the helm. The whole PIGMOL organisation is rotten to the core, it lacks integrity, there are too many errors and mistakes being made for them to be passed of as errors and incompetence. A few officials are probably on the take from betting syndicates.

In the 90s the strategy was don’t bring attention on the refereeing & the Piss Can took full advantage. He controlled the organisation & their decision making by bringing full attention onto anyone who didn’t jump to his tune.
The biggest beneficiaries were Riley & Webb only it’s not the 90s any more & I think if Webb thinks he can ride it he’ll get a shock. There are cells full of blokes who thought they were untouchable but as many have said this is overdue an independent enquiry.
 
Mike Dean is a proper t*at.
He showed Southampton no mercy at the swamp a couple of seasons back.
He was on a mission to send off all the team that night.
