Just realised that I was referring to the game earlier in the season not the playoff game

I was fully expecting the Football League to proudly announce the referee for Monday as HOOPS.
So, every cloud, etc.

Ramirez didn't cheat. I've no doubt that the injury would have hurt at the time, so his reaction (all apart from knocking the card) was completely understandable. Of everyone involved, too, Ramirez would genuinely have been very poorly placed to know whether the incident was accidental or not.
Dean on the other hand, has very, very clearly acted on the injury, and not based on his own impression of the actual incident. His failure to follow the laws, and procedures as set out, is simply inexplicable, and unforgiveable.
I would draw the line at calling him a cheat, though. - he just got it very wrong. I think he lost his composure and panicked under huge pressure - very poor though, given his enormous experience.

Quite agree. Can't call Ramirez a cheat, on the basis that he's quite clearly hurt. I don't blame him for being in PAIN or a bit shocked by that. Unfortunately, he's fallen into the same trap as a few Boro fans in assuming that, because he's hurt, it must have been a quite heinous challenge, which it wasn't.
Mike Dean also knew it wasn't, but melted under pressure from Angry Gaston (and then told somebody porkies as to his reasons for changing his mind). He's not a cheat either. He's just made a really, really shoddy decision and then tried to excuse it by later coming up with a fractionally more plausible explanation (claiming that the assistant referee convinced him).

Are there any refs that you dont think have it in for Brighton?
Me. I've years of refereeing experience and would be SCRUPULOUSLY fair.

Give over, you know as well as I do that we only remember the terrible decisions, and instantly forget the good ones.
This is OUR persecution thread, and we're very happy with it, thanks

Can't remember his name, but the ref for the Cup replay at Newcastle in 83 wasn't too bad.

That's the one. Is is still alive? If so could he do the final? (if we were to get there)

The ref for the play off final at the Millenium in 2004. We always seemed to win when he was ref but I don't remember him giving us any particularly favourable decisions.
Edit to add

Did you see the incident? No, thought not. So far this season I have criticised the **** we had against Boro and this guy from three seasons ago. Hardly serial moaning. Wasn't it you that wondered why I thought Dean was a homer in the first half and queried why that would be? No doubt you you are like the Boro fans who thought it was a nailed on red card for Stephens and that the ref had a great game?
