Boro fan (who was previously a referee) says Mike Dean's decision was correct. Wow, I am so surprised at that. Since he's an ex-ref I'm not at all surprised that he doesn't wish to debate this, or that he was fairly rude about it.

 

[Seagull58]

So...A Boro fans opinion doesn`t count ....yet Brighton Fans opinions do ...in your world

But he offered his opinion as an ex-referee, not as a Boro fan. He should be fair and objective.

Not too sure what you are trying to get at?

He is playing to the gallery. He knows what they want to hear.

Brighton Fans say Mike Deans decision was incorrect.Wow I`m so surprised at that. It works both ways.

Come on get real...you really think that?

Yet again your point is lost on me..care to explain?

“There was no argument that Stephens played the ball but he went in studs up.

“When a player lifts his feet off the ground he always runs the risk.

“Some people think it’s OK as long as the player plays the ball but if the tackle is deemed to be reckless, endangers the safety of the opponents or excessive force is used, then it must be a red.”


This is what he wrote.....I`m no ref......As a Brighton Fan I`m like you ...Hoping for the best but if this is correct..perhaps so was the red.

So you're saying that players are not allowed to run or jump, as that involves their feet leaving the ground?

We all know that it's not just about playing the ball - you could go steaming in along the floor, get the ball and then the player afterwards. That is dangerous and should result in a card. That is not what happened.

Gaston's feet left the ground, and he was late, and could have injured Stephens.

Yep, so instead of just relying on opinons, you look at what actually happened, and then you realise (assuming you know anything about football) that it was never a red card offence.

No, I don't think that but he was in the paper with his opinion because he's an ex-ref, not because he's a Boro fan. That is why his opinion is deemed (by the Boro) to carry more weight.

He will say whatever to please the masses...he lives there I assume, he is a Boro fan (that definite) he isn't going to go against the grain..

Winter is a Boro fan, therefore his biased opinion is no more worthy than anyone else's biased opinion. However, he's in the paper pontificating on his opinion because he's an ex-ref. That's the difference.

The injury was caused by Ramirez kicking Stephens blades and not Stephens kicking Ramirez.
So every time someone raises their foot to bring a ball under control if the opponent kicks the raised foot its a straight red................. yer right
You have to show your studs when you kick a ball for gods sake
I would like to know the definite reason he changed his mind because Dean hasn't made it very clear. Maybe the appeal will bring more light as to the reason

Pretty obvious I would have thought..Brighton Fans are obviously biased towards Brighton...Oppositon Fans towards Opposition.
We abuse the Lino when he gives decision their way..when Burnley Goal that crossed line not given Lino`s a Hero and applauded.

We believe we are right opposition believe they are.

He's also writing in a local rag that's only going to be read by Boro fans (and the OP).

I`m not saying it ..merely pointing out what he said.

Why pull me up when I said what is the point in writing to him? Strange

He's been asked to write an opinion. He may well have been encouraged to point out why it could be seen as a red card. He may well believe he is right. All he is doing is backing up Dean. Is he really going to say anything else in the local press ?

What he is not doing is looking at the incident fairly and objectively.

Let the fool be.

Can any hardened fan "look at incident fairly and objectively". I didn`t think it deserved red..but if it was other way round would have probably found reason to support decision.
