Shows remarkable staying power.Mark lives for this thread, it's quite the achievement to be able to repeat oneself over and over and over again without getting bored.

I see Dean has admitted he was wrong over the hair pulling in the Chelsea, Spurs game.
Oh well that's OK then, the 2 points Chelsea lost (and the manager sent off) is unfortunate but the main thing is, he's said he was wrong so that's fair enough.

Dean says his mistake was that he didn't think the hair pulling was violent conduct, so he didn't ask referee Taylor to look at the video monitor. In other words, Dean decided that a red card was not warranted. Dean decided to become the referee of that incident in the game, even though he was only the VAR.I see Dean has admitted he was wrong over the hair pulling in the Chelsea, Spurs game.

Typical of Dean this. His is the only opinion that matters in real time. He really isn't fit to be a VAR, because he will take decisions away from the only person that should be making those decisions - the referee.
In this case, he should have realised that Taylor might have had a different opinion to Dean, and asked Taylor to look at the incident to decide whether or not violent conduct had occurred. Taylor would then have agreed with Dean, or gone against Dean and issued a red card.
This still doesn't absolve Taylor of his incompetence in not seeing the incident in the first place, as it was directly in front of him.

The last bit is the key point here, I think.
It wouldn't be a surprise if Dean at the time was swayed by Taylor having a clear view of it, and didn't think it was a red card. One of those occasions where the conversation is of interest.
This does rely on there being part of the VAR process being the VAR asking the onfield ref if he saw something.
There's no indication that Taylor DID see it though, which is plain odd.

Dean didn’t think dragging a player to the ground, by his hair, is violent conduct? And this is our official.Dean says his mistake was that he didn't think the hair pulling was violent conduct, so he didn't ask referee Taylor to look at the video monitor. In other words, Dean decided that a red card was not warranted. Dean decided to become the referee of that incident in the game, even though he was only the VAR.

I call bullshit and VAR is just another way to manipulate the brand.
Saying that, do the British media really care about anybody outside the Sky 4 At least we get a shout, if not negative, whereas the rest of the PL get nothing.
Stumbled upon this vid. Has probably been seen before and was a womens match so no var. But it further raises the question of releasing the conversations, id be more than happy to have it live more interesting than most of the commentary...
