Mike Dean, on the other hand, should be launched from a cannon. Preferably into orbit.

Case in point: he always faces a player confrontationally. Players will do this TO referees all the time, but the referee shouldn't approach a player that way. At least somewhat side to side, not face to face.

He also points with his index finger instead of an open hand. Constantly. Also bad. This is officiating 101 shit here, not rocket science.

He has this air about him that he doesn't really like the players one bit, which makes me wonder why he does it outside of the attention it brings him.


He's trying to out-Clattenburg Clattenburg *

Clattenburg is arrogant and a bit of an attention whore, too

But his style when working with the players is completely flipped from Dean, and while he makes sure he looks good while managing the game, he does a better job of it.


The ending is pure magnificence. *
