Except he let off Arnold from physically throwing Solly to the ground.
It had to be a yellow, you can't man handle players and especially our Solly.
Agree.
Kevin Friend and Moss are completely incompetent, Stephens challenge aside, Dean has always been reasonable, today he was first class.

Yes to be fair, when you don’t notice the ref then it is because they’ve had a good game.
Yes - but it's difficult to put that Stephens challenge aside isn't it!

True.
I found Dean used to be a lot more 'its all about me' and grab the attention. Seems to have come off that pedestal and just ref's the game over the last couple of seasons.

He is a good ref.
Far, far better than Friend, Atkinson, et al.

There’s no Moss on you, most probably a Mason.

Fully agree.
Reminds me a bit of Klopp actually. Absolutely bloody loves the attention but very good at his job

I don't think it was until the 2nd half when I found myself thinking, "that's the first foul I've seen all game." There probably were fouls before then but I didn't notice them interrupt the flow of it all. Good reffing indeed!

I think someone had a word with MD a couple of seasons ago, or maybe the empty stadiums robbed him of an audience, but whereas he used to be the centre of attention, he seems to now just get on and ref the game- remember the crotch thrusting at our fans, the gesticulating wildly, and the "Mike Dean" decision discussed almost every week? He seems now to be doing what he is undoubtedly very good at, just being the Ref, and a bloody good one at that.
I thought he had a great game yesterday, allowed the game to flow, only used his cards towards the end, and I dont think there were any complaints about the bookings. I cant recall thinking "big club ref" once
Given the officials appointed for the game yesterday I was fearing the worst, but we ended up (IMO) with one of the best officiated games in ages

He made one mistake which was blowing when he should have let Liverpool have advantage but held his hand up and said sorry. Very big of him to do that. Even calmed Klipperty down.

I have said before that he is an excellent referee with a bizarre tendency of not getting many things wrong but, boy, when he gets it wrong, they are spectacular. If you could tone his ego down, he would probably be the best ref (although maybe that would take away the good stuff).

Thought his booking of Lamptey, for not retreating from the free kick Liverpool had been awarded, was one he might not have given if he had seen everything that happened, but other than that, I don't recall anything that I thought was poor.
