Guess the Ref...

Mike Dean - what a wa***r

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Oh please. All over this board fans are being criticised for rushing to judgement on players because it's two, three games. Not enough has happened for us to judge. There's so much of the season to go. Criticised for "bedwetting" and told not to get carried away with two losses the season has barely started, long way to go, etc.

Putting things into context is as much a part of football as emotion. And in the context of the 3rd game of the season. In the context of the cost of the man city team, the quality of the man city team, the expectations of the man city team v those of Bournemouth; that sort of celebration seems ott.

Thanks, you've just shown you really don't understand the joy of a winning goal in the 97th minute, 3rd or 35th game. You should have played, you'd have had more idea.

I assume you rather enjoy a sterile match where fans just politely appauld a goal while the scorer just casually wanders back to his own half ? It's football for f**k sake - it's meant to be full of emotion - it's nice to see a player be so excited to pull a match back. And it doesn't matter if it's the 3rd or 33rd match - 3 points are still vital and worth the same. Really can't believe you're defending the bellend Dean !

Plucky Bournemouth stewards foaming at the mouth OB wading in all well over the top.

You don't get this football thing do you? Get yourself to some away games and see what happens if we get a last minute winner!

 

[luppers]

Yeah it was that really, not helped by the fact that he dived into the supporters. Personally I think the booking was correct.

totally agree with above,there would not be any comments on here if it was any other ref who made that decision. by the way I am an ex ref who happens to think Dean is one of the worst refs I have ever seen however he was right this time/.

 

[BensGrandad]

Unfortunately he carried out the letter of the rule without common sense but the rules do not allow for common sense. Perhaps the rules should be looked at and give the ref an option to issue a yellow card not make it statutory.

 

[BensGrandad]

If the ref was correct in his decision why wasnt Ayew of Swansea given a yellow card v Croydon mob. for doing exactly the same thing, going to the crowd.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

In the 2016/2017 revision of the Laws, the material from this section (common sense) was folded into the Laws themselves. Referees are expected to use their judgement and common sense in applying the laws; this is colloquially known as "Law 18".

 

[Easy 10]

Any ref that's known, and by the looks of it, deliberately cultivated his reputation as the ref with the "no look, yellow" deserves to be refereeing non-league football. He clearly has an extraordinarily large ego and that's a problem at this level. Compare and contrast with the recent refs we've had for Man Citeh and Leicester where both were excellent and virtually invisible.

Mike Dean wakes up in a cold sweat at the mere notion of being "virtually invisible".

And no, that doesn't mean I'm sleeping with him.

The Complete And Utter Shyster and common sense.

It was, it caused issues with the fans.

Gillingham had a player sent off for doing the same at Withdean lol

Sterling goes to crowd and nothing happens- fair enough don't book him

He dived into the crowd which lead to people jumping over the boarding/people being dragged off and Augero being spoken to by the police!!!!

Stewards showed no common sense whatsoever doubt they would of been so heavy handed had smug eddies team fired home the winner.

SA was standing up for a city who was pinned to floor for celebrating, hardly crime of the century.

No, not at all.

But it wouldn't have happened if Sterling hadn't jumped into the crowd - thus the booking.

I think that the rule is ridiculous, why have a rule that can lead to a player missing matches for celebrating a goal with his own fans.

A yellow for celebrating a goal in this way could mean that the team loses a player (either by having 2 yellows in a match, or accumulating enough yellows to earn a ban before a cut off date) that it means that fans miss out on watching that player play for a team

He gets the same punishment as someone who commits a bad / professional foul, or other action that can influence the outcome of the game and which of these incidents should be treated harsher? - surely the one where cheating, trying to influence the result and the other is enjoying a key moment of a match with your supporters, how in the eyes of the rule makers, can they be viewed as deserving the same punishment

To me, it's a rule that should be abolished and should never have existed in the first place

So a player can theoretically score a goal, take his shirt off, jump into the crowd, leap around for 10 minutes while being mobbed by the fans who spill on to the pitch causing security issues and no action should be taken? Nonsense.
