[Humour] Dean & Friend

[Icy Gull]

how is Mike Dean allowed to ref the game being from Liverpool, its like having harry Leonard running the line with him living in seaford

We have form on this against the big boys. The ref for the after full time penalty game against United at the Amex last season was from Manchester

At least Dean is not actually from Liverpool though

Would be quite happy if it was “all about Mike Dean” and also landed a draw.

Dean does like telling players to get up who fall over in the box but it’s Friend on VAR that worries me.

I don't mind Mike Dean. He does tend to sometimes make it all about himself, but he's often pretty fair. Friend – on the basis of some of the decisions from the weekend (not helped by the East side lino) is appalling!

Friend was awful. He’s not my friend and never will be. Seemed to give a foul whenever a Citeh player tried to buy one (thought we were done with that this season in the Premier League) then let some very heavy tackles on our players go. We didn’t lose because of him but if we’d cut the mistakes and subsequent goals out, he could have made the difference against us.

Friend is an appalling referee.

Re Mike Dean, if you remove the ridiculous sending off of Stephens I’m not sure he’s been as bad as Friend or Jon Moss.

NO referee is remotely as bad as Friend and Moss, two of the most appalling officials that l can remember in recent times.

 

[Rookie]

The worrying thing with Friend is that he is seen as a top referee by the people that make decisions. He is an absolute joke

 

[Pavilionaire]

The worst combination possible. Arguing whether you'd rather have Friend reffing and Dean VAR - or vice versa - is like being asked whether you'd prefer to be shot by firing squad or beheaded.

That said, Friend on VAR did give us a penalty late on vs Liverpool when he adjudged Robertson to have fouled Welbeck and we pinched a draw.

Dean's a scouser isn't he? Well, a Tranmere supporter any way

Mrs Saladpack is a Scouser from Toxteth and points out that people from the Wirral and Tranmere in particular are not Scousers. I seem to remember a Tranmere song from a few years back which ended "we're not f*****g Scousers, we're from Birkenhead.." I don't think we've much to worry about on the bias front.
