Tomaszk Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I'm sorry but that hilarious. Best ref we had this season. Didn't let us get fouled into next week with no punishment at Forest. His antics are totally ridiculous, but he makes Bournemouth v Burnley watchable. I'll probably start to dislike him again if we go up and have him more often.

Agree with the above though, he was great against a filthy Forest side trying to ref the game for him. Seen it so many times at this level home fans and players reffing the game for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 14, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 14, 2019 He's a complete arsehole. But he's a good ref. And that Tranmere celebration is hilarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I think he's box office myself. I guess your opinion on him depends on whether referees should be seen and not heard, I've learned to take him at face value. He doesn't distract from the game, he adds to it and as Steve says he's also good at his job. Whenever you see videos of a flamboyant ref on the continent floating around on social media, everyone loves off it. When it comes to Mike Dean, they aint having it for some reason.

mottaloo Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) I blame sky in part for the propulsion of referees in to the limelight, along with the FA etc for making them full time. The likes of Dean, the fast tracked Michael Oliver, Jeff Winter (he who was a Middlesbrough hoolie) and the obnoxious Uriah Rennie really believe they're up there with the overpaid prima donna players. Every now and then i wistfully watch games on YouTube esp from our glory days of early 80s where for me, the game was just great and the only really recollection of the official would be that he's from Great Bookham, used to be a butcher from Wolverhampton or a welsh bloke who blew his whistle as brazil were taking a corner.......and that was all i really needed or wanted to know about them. Now, they're part of the Sky circus Edited May 14, 2019 by mottaloo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 This really made me laugh. A big name rap producer, called Mike Dean, who's produced for Kanye and Jay-Z getting wound up with people tagging him on Twitter (probably purposely rather than accidentally for the most part) complaining about his refereeing https://www.nme.com/news/music/mike-dean-confuses-twitter-users-referee-1936473 This article is from 2017, and so the tweets in it are a few years old, but a quick look and you can he's still getting wound up to this day by it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
