(Riverside) Mike Dean

[seagulls4ever]

It seems he reacted to the injury rather than the tackle. It was never a red card. The player was unlucky to get such a severe injury from that kind of tackle. Mike Dean has a yellow card out initially, the player showed his injury, and Mike Dean changed his mind and produced a red.

The other official changed it to red

Gave every decision to boro. Shocking that a **** of the highest order is allowed to referee a game that important

Was never a red card and that's now two key players missing for the playoffs...bloody typical how things go wrong so quickly.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Disgraceful showing.

Was that the same official that gave a fair tackle from Stevens as a foul in the first half?

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Might be rescinded?

 

[St Leonards Seagull]

Ref bottled it in front of the home crowd

 

[Mr deez]

Not a sending off and entirely against the spirit of not changing your mind.

 

[Kinky Gerbils]

Might be rescinded?

I doubt it as there is an argument there for it to be a red.

 

[sir albion]

It was a normal challenge and he got the ball for Christ sakes....bit of a gash and the officials fall for it.

 

[Mackenzie]

The goal was offside, the red was dubious. Hopefully we'll get a bit luckier in the playoffs.

 

[Hugo Rune]

The red card was not even a foul. 50/50 Dale got the ball first. Awful awful decision.

 

[Zukey Seagull]

Did any one else see the player knock the yellow card from the refs hand, then showed his cut and then the ref pulled out the red card

 

[dingodan]

Ref caved to pressure from players and the crowd. He knew it was a yellow, blood doesn't change the tackle and it shouldn't change the card he intends to give.

Weak refereeing IMO.

If their player was wearing decent shin pads there would be no injury

He favoured Ayala throughout the second half and his swap of a yellow for a red when Ramirez waved the cut at him was as fine an example of a referee judging the outcome not the offence that you will ever see. I am not sure that we would have got the winner with eleven, but it was a key moment which stopped the impetus swinging to us. His performance was nearly as bad as our first half one.

FA will close ranks.

If they rescind it we can argue that poor referring cost us promotion.

 

[Pavilionaire]

It was never even a yellow card let alone a red. Mike Dean has lost it. We've got to get this rescinded.

Wishful thinking. Serious foul play, i.e. using excessive force, is a red card offence...regardless of whether the player wins the ball. Breaking the skin like that clearly falls under that category.


That said, their player was wrong to swipe the yellow card out of Dean's hand. That shows a degree of weakness on the ref's part.
