Given that Dean is going to be 49 years old shortly after the end of this season, I would imagine there is a strong chance this will be his last season officiating in any event.

Of course it was a penalty. The rules are different for BIG clubs, especially European champions.

Not seen such Bravery!
At least they may want to now keep him away from our televised game at Huddersfield. Hopefully.
Useless refs are PERFECT for TV executives as they provide ample talking points for the pundits.

I meant that the FA/FL may want to keep him out of the limelight for a while, but that's a good point about the TV chiefs.
Why ? - Our scouting team have put together a side further up the league than Barnsley's scouting team have.
Anyone can make a mistake but what I've just seen him do on the Channel 5 highlights is disgraceful.
The Barnsley defender complains at his utterly shithouse decision and Dean points at the lino implying he made the call. Then you see the replay and the lino actually had kept his flag down while Dean was FORTY YARDS behind play and wrongly blowing his whistle.
This nob should be reffing nothing games. He should be learning how to ref properly at the Abbey Stadium or Fratton Park, the useless tosser.

Just seen his penalty given for Leeds today. Absolutely crazy decision and from how far away he was I can't believe he could be sure it was a pen.
Saying that the penalty given for Villa today was a crime too and what was worse there was that the ref even went to check with his assistant who couldn't see the clean tackle despite an unrestricted view from 20 yards away. With all of the money in football I don't understand how all professional leagues don't have dedicated professional referee's

I once met a referee at a non football do, he was more used to running the line, and had done so
in all four divisions. We talked about a number of things, mostly they are decent chaps, but he did say that there are some refs that simply tell the linos in the pre match that they, the ref, have 100% of the decision making, and the the linos are there to flag offside, goal kicks and throw-ins only, they were told not to flag fouls as the ref was in charge. Knobends.
I do lineman job every week for my youngest son's team u15s.. a few refs have said before the game just do ins and outs... throwings basically. and even said don't bother with offsides or fouls. tbf I very rarely bother with fouls anyway. but offside I keep up with play much more than all the refs as am in line with our last defender.. seriously what is it? they scared to death I might cheat. I know a few do cheat but majority don't.

In the Leeds game the handball was obvioius but the ref should have gione to the assistant and asked if it was in or out of the area as he was directly in line as opposed to the ref being 40yds away due to a long clearance from rthe Leeds defence.
what acvnt , seems to enjoy being wrong just to wind everybody (except the FA) up
Exceptionally.
Oh god don't.

Do we actually know that the linesman wasn't the one who said it was in the area?
Surely Dean would have checked via his mic?
