    Perhaps a glass or two fewer =)

    Lol, not touched a drop. I've even tried cleaning my laptop screen, but that hasn't helped either 😂🤣😂.

    "Mike Dean declined to use VAR to save a fellow referee from 'grief' ":

    And they wonder why people want them to be more accountable. His mate makes a howler, but he doesn't want to call him out on it.

    I just read the article. Whilst I understand the dread when knowing you're going to be on VAR, the Virgo in me also thinks that a) its your job! b) Technology is there to help you check potential things (as opposed to guessing/instinct on any incident) and c) If you paid attention to the game then checking periodic incidents is not something anyone with half a brain would find taxing. So, perhaps harshly, he wouldn't have dreaded it if he had actually been looking at things/paying attention! (using his that the ref was hismate as an excuse for not calling his attention to VAR is pathetic and could easily call his bias into question)

    I am not against VAR but they've had plenty of time to get used to it and use it for making the right calls when something is potentially crucial or controversial in the making.

    Whilst he admits he was pathetic in this instance, it's even worse really; he knew he had to call the ref to the monitor and he knowingly and willingly refused to do so (because the ref was his mate and had already had a difficult afternoon, and the game was nearly over and Chelsea were already winning). It wasn't that he didn't see anything wrong, it's that he did and refused to act on it. That's disgraceful rather than just pathetic imo.

    Having admitted that, I'd love Chelsea to sue him now (obviously won't happen), but to admit that you knowlingly (at the time) made the wrong decision is shocking and should be punishable.

    🎵It's all about you, it's all about you
    Mike Dean, it's all about you. 🎵

    Always was, always will be. Shocking ref.
  • alderzalderz
    One of the worst things about that Mike Dean interview is that he said that the mistake wouldn't have been so bad if Spurs hadn't equalised. He's been a ref for nearly 30 years, and he doesn't think that goal difference is important? It just adds weight to - what I've always thought were ridiculous - comments from pundits about refs not understanding the game.

    Interview with Jarrod Bowen at about the half hour mark through this:

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/l0056d4k/5-live-sport-the-monday-night-club-28th-august

    Comes over really well I thought, kinda what you'd expect.

    Its about Spurs and normally I'd skip just because of that. However, if this is true... Wow! Benn there since a boy, record scorer and captain. Classy move....

    Harry Kane was barred from Tottenham's training ground in the hours leading up to his move to Bayern Munich, meaning he was unable to say a face-to-face goodbye to long-time team-mates.
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    If true, that is really poor, what “secrets” would he have gained from that training session, absolutely ridiculous.

    I sort of understand when leaving for a business competitor - but this is footy for crying out loud.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    It’s also unlikely they will be playing Bayern anytime soon.

    Surprise Surprise, no Ward-Prowse but Phillips, who I can't remember actually kicking a ball since forever and Maguire who can't get in a team with half their defence missing.

    IMO Southgate is so predictable, he's past his sell by date for me with regards to the England set up, should have gone on to other things, like a championship side perhaps......

    Th is is very helpful in making sense of our European adventures this year and how the draw for various stages works.

    Phillips being in the squad is a joke. I also think JWP should be in for Henderson (but I am also happy for him to not get injured) or Phillips

    You mean...... they're not expecting a shock? 😱

    There’s a phone in on the radio discussing the Birmingham City Council crisis.
    Some advice: if you’re unfortunate enough to be born with the vocal affliction a.k.a. the Brum accent please don’t share it on the radio/ tv . In fact you are best advised to stay at home and just talk to your immediate family.Thankfully it isn’t contagious but the rest of the population will still need to be protected.

    Many thanks.
