Mike Dean

[Oh When the Wolves]

Retiring end of season.

We need to make sure he gets Danny mills treatment in his last game officiating us

 

[Neves wolf]

Unfortunately he's not retiring completely. He's moving into var full time.

 

[Jawwfc]

Unfortunately he's not retiring completely. He's moving into var full time.

Him and Mason both as VAR only officials..... way too much of an old boys club where incompetence is rewarded.

 

[Big Saft Kid]

That absolutely stinks.

 

[John de Wolf's hairdryer]

Unfortunately he's not retiring completely. He's moving into var full time.

Where he'll continue to torment us for years to come, no doubt...**** that he is.

 

[Boss Hogg]

Unfortunately he's not retiring completely. He's moving into var full time.

He can still make sure the game is all about him.

He needs binning completely

 

[Brixton Wanderer]

Unfortunately he's not retiring completely. He's moving into var full time.

If true this is worse.

It’s been said over and over again but we really do need a ref overhaul. In fact, I would go as far as saying Prem games should be officiated by refs from different countries.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

In what other business would incompetence be rewarded?

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

In what other business would incompetence be rewarded?

Very good question and very good point

Jobs for old boys

Stinks

In what other business would incompetence be rewarded?

It’s the same with Managers.They fail,they get sacked ,pick up a nice pay out and then get another job -the Carousel of failure .

 

[Hazza]

In what other business would incompetence be rewarded?

Politics

 

[Ned]

Every time something goes to VAR next season they should post Mike Dean's head on the big screen until the decision is made.

Are the screens that big?

 

[Ned]

Are the screens that big?

Not sure actually. When Nigel Pearson calls somebody arrogant, you know there's something wrong.

Post or nail?

 

[Stafford]

At least this will mean we will soon get to hear what's going on in the 'VAR cabin' during decisions.

 

[Supadavewolf]

He can still make sure the game is all about him.

He needs binning completely

He'd probably end up booking the bin for fouling him.

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

You know he's gonna insist that he's televised direct on screen to the ground whilst he's deliberating how to screw up the non-big six club. I thought his retirement was too good to be true.

 

[WolvTown]

He's realised he can do more damage sat in front of a screen than he can running around a pitch!!

 

[Minimalist]

Not a fan of Dean.
And not a fan of VAR .

However if we must have var I do agree with the idea of having specific people (and logically that would be ex refs) dedicated to that job rather than current on field refs doing the job when available.

 

[Jonzy54]

Apparently in his contract he will be carried Into Stockley Park on a sedan chair by 4 bronzed and oiled eunuchs as nubile nymphs pour his bath of asses milk and peel his grapes chanting ‘All hail King Mike’

 

[Supadavewolf]

If you're going to have nymphs, get the nubile ones.

More expensive than your bog-standard nymph but well worth it.

Could be his actual head

 

[Pagey]

Very good question and very good point

Government?

 

[Norman Bell]

Government?

Stockley Park could become the new House of Lords

 

[old wittonian]

Let's just hope VAR doesn't review his decision.

 

[De Wolfs Mullet]

Listening to various pundits on the radio yesterday it was quite telling that even those that were vaguely respectful and complimentary on his retirement that they were still critical about the guy.

 

[lobodelsur]

In what other business would incompetence be rewarded?

Politics, banking ...I could go on...

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Politics, banking ...I could go on...

So Mike Dean could have been a banker, or a word very similar...

 

[Neves wolf]

He's done a sky interview today. Apparently the rumour he is going into var next season is false media reports. He hasn't decided what he's doing next. So he is fully retiring.

Let’s bloody hope so

This is the cruelest April fools ever!!

Dean is like the Terminator he will never die

Is thinking more like a bad turd that won't flush away.

Or a flaming ****roach under your shoe

 

[Sussex Wolf]

I’m not a fan of his as a ref, to say the least. However just watched an interview with him on Football Focus, and actually he came across well.

 

[NottsWolves]

Shouldn’t be able to do interviews until he’s retired if they aren’t allowed to comment after games.

I don’t see why refs can’t speak after a game, it may well help understand their thinking and decisions and improve the relationship with fans. While they continue to hide behind the rule they don’t have to explain themselves nothing changes.

Absolutely. They said the same on Football Focus.

I’d like to see this but my feeling is that they’ll just become PR robots and even more unlikeable.

 

[Pengwern]

He’s had death threats!

You've seen how incompetent they are on the pitch, imagine having to listen to them talking about it as well!!
