    There was plenty of time for Dean to have asked for a review and get a decision before Jones had stopped rolling.

    I think he's still rolling.....

    Last seen rolling toward the Dartford Tunnel. Rumour has it he's heading for the French coast

    We knew it wasn't a red card before Fegouli (it may not be spelt right, live with it!).

    I had received a text from half a dozen mates watching in TV and an alert that GNev had tweeted that is wasn't a red.

    The ref getting info that that is wasn't a red would not have held the game up at all, given that Jones 'required treatment'.

    from Garth Crooks' team of the week:

    "Manchester United's Marcus Rashford was that player against a desperately unfortunate 10-man West Ham.
    The player had only been on the pitch for a little over 30 minutes and he transformed the match.

    It was just as well because referee Mike Dean practically destroyed it with another dismissal this time after only 15 minutes. I'm beginning to wonder whether the Premier League can afford Mike Dean. He's bad for business.

    When he sent off Southampton's Nathan Redmond for an innocuous trip on Tottenham's Dele Alli on 28 December I said Dean should "consider his position". Now it's time for the Professional Game Match Official Board to carefully think through whether his judgement has become impaired.

    He seems to be the only referee intent on ruining evenly balanced contests for the viewing public by sending players off totally unnecessarily. It's time for him to go." ;clap ;clap

    I wish Garth would tell us what he really thinks about Mike Dean! ;wink

    Quite possibly the best thing I've ever heard (read) Garth Crooks say

    Did you see the video of his opinion on the day? He was not impressed!

    While all the criticism is being directed at Dean, the lino (Simon Long) who bottled flagging Ibra + 2 others offside escapes censure. I think he should also be getting some heavy flak. ;angry

    He's a liability.

    At what point does he have his whistle rescinded?
