Mike Dean now set to be suspended after Newcastle 1 Fulham 0 VAR shambles at St James' Park?

Well, I think he could be making plenty more after Sunday at St James’ Park.Having retired as a referee, Mike Dean is now a dedicated VAR official , supposedly the experts…).

Nothing was announced officially, but full-time VAR official Lee Mason then disappeared for a month from officiating at Premier League matches, which clearly appeared to be a behind the scenes ban / punishment for his actions at St James’ Park. However, when the ball eventually went dead, Jones was directed by Mike Dean to go and look at his pitchside monitor, after which we got the inevitable, a penalty awarded. The on-pitch referee rarely, if ever, going against the VAR official once he has been asked to go and look at a particular incident. I know Geordie referee and Newcastle fan, Michael Oliver, has done this in the Premier League this season, but not aware of any other referees doing the same.

This is where it all goes very wrong, once those of us at the match are at home and get to see exactly what Mike Dean had access to, in terms of having been able to look closely at TV replays of the two incidents. I’m not convinced it was definitely a penalty BUT if it had been at the other end of the pitch, for sure I would have been very ‘disappointed’ if Newcastle hadn’t got the benefit of Mike Dean asking the referee to look at a TV replay.

Bottom line is that in a matter of seconds, Mike Dean in his VAR studio got two decisions very wrong, despite having all the benefit of TV replays from various angles. In the time it took from the incidents happening, to Robert Jones having finished looking at his pitchside monitor and making his eventual decision, Mike Dean had several minutes to look and look again at the various angles on both incidents, yet managed to make such a mess of it.

Mike Dean should not have to stay as VAR official after he retired from his referee duties He is not the only one - Lee Mason as well

Personally I think the ref was decent though Fulham fans will think different but they will get over it, as howes said we are here to compete not to keep them happy 😉

Refs and VAR have done it plenty not just this season last too and I don't mean just against us One thing that proves that is Liverpool without everything going their way look how terrible theyr this season and look at the cheated win against us we should of won or drew at least
