This game is shit. 

[N U F C]

Fulham looking the better side since half-time.

[N U F C]

Mike Dean making it all about him for a change.

[Stan]

Mike Dean with another shocker. Pathetic decision. Clearly accidental. 

[RandoEFC+]

Daft decision. It didn't even look that deliberate at 0.1x speed let alone in real time.

[Redcanuck]

Certainly looked accidental.   The VAR obviously thought it was a red or they wouldn't have asked Dean to take a look.  Could Dean have awarded a yellow there or was it a choice between red or no foul?

[Stan]

Don't get how he's come to that decision. 

 

Who was the official on VAR? He's had just as much of a mare. Should have just said to Dean 'it's accidental, no need to look any further, play on'. 

[DeadLinesman]

Fuck off Mike Dean. Just go and take your face for a shit and retire you utter embarrassment.

Lee Mason.

Pair of fucking idiots. Was obvious Mike Dean would give it though as soon as he got half a chance.

I'm glad to see people are coming round to the notion that it isn't VAR that's the problem but the abysmal level of officiating in this country. They're clearly not fit for purpose. You should see some of the decisions on The Football League Show every week.

I genuinely think we have the worst referee's in Europe.

[Dan+]

This league is in a sorry state. I'm at a point where I'm struggling to see how it's anything but corruption. This runs beyond incompetence for me now, there is something fishy going on.

100% the worst in the big leagues and if some of the clips of what's happened this and last season in-particular were taken from the Albanian league, pretty much everyone would roundly laugh at the obvious corruption on show. I don't get how people can watch this and think we're above it.

It's sad to see. I fail to believe they're this awful.

[LFCMike]

I've just seen the Soucek incident. That's absolutely ridiculous

You have the worst everything. You're English.

To be fair, some of us came to that conclusion even when VAR was introduced

I agree with this...

... but I do think VAR in the hands of dogshit officials hurts more than it helps.

Yeah, me and @DeadLinesman truly are the standard bearers.

They're both rubbish. The fundamental flaws of VAR shouldn't detract from the corrupt refs, and vice versa.

[Lucas]

Would be nice if Mike Dean was allowed to explain post match why he decided it was a red so that the rest of us could at least try and understand his reasoning.

We hear absolutely nothing from them so it's hard to even relate.

At the very least, if he was mic'd up we could hear his reasoning and what he was looking for like we hear in Rugby. 

Honestly, we are so far behind the times.

The real answer is "to make boring game about Mike Dean". Manufactured controversy.

[Rick]

I’ve just seen the red. I really really cannot understand the thought process from two officials to decide that’s a sending off. Absolutely disgusting and it better be rescinded. Fucking disgraceful stuff. 

[Danny]

There is incompetent and then there is that red card
