shut up shaka u stupid goalie, footballers job is much harder than refs
Steve really is stealing a living
If cheating and fixing matches is a professional job am sorry keep it, Mike exposed what goes on in the Premier league and he's 1 of many that are corrupt to the core, Howard Webb, Steve Bennett, Clattenberg the whole lot of them are cheats, Howard Webb was worse than Mike Deen and they made him chairman what are the odds 😂😂. The English Premier league is a dirty money washing machine too cos Morgan Rodgers, Enzo, Barcola, Anderson ain't 100 mill players, no wonder they all hate Arsenal who buy and sell for the right price and are the Classiest in England if not Europe.
Maybe Steve needs to go back in time and see some of the absolute s**t show performances from Mike Dean. What else has he done in games that he hasn't bragged about? The guy is a narcissistic bellend of the highest order.
I'm a Spurs fan but I have absolutely no time for Mike Dean... why are we even giving him the attention
It is a game. They are humans. Unfortunately this is pinnacle of refereeing and almost no one who wants to do it is better. Really hes exaggerating but what are you going to do.
People are so Soft
Is Steve mates with mike Dean.
The implications are huge for all refs even in grassroots this guy has made them bigger targets its sabotage.
Premier League always has been overhyped overrated for no reason
English refs are an absolute disgrace, there needs to be a serious and independent review. Dean isn't the first retired ref in recent memory to make claims about themselves that smack of corruption. Their lack of self awareness and willingness to just throw out stories of blatant corruption is an indictment of the whole refereeing system.
The guy called steve Nikol is delusional...out of touch. This is obviously not good for refs simply because the guy was on a podcast. Steve's age is affecting his judgement. He is old and does not have to appear on TV programmes.
Mike Dean from England..<br>😂😂
He has put others on unnecessary scrutiny..
Sure but why mean come out and say this
Yes he was a terrible ref but this is total nonsense. It’s literally impossible to go that long without blowing your whistle and standing in the center circle. 25mins without blowing and managing to stand in the center circle for 15minutes? 😂😂give me a break, there must have been a serious incident on the field otherwise no chance any of that he said was true lol.. Mike Dean is clearly promoting something personal, anyone with a brain can see thru it 😂
I would join the stokvel. I do want something like that
Stevie is totally right. It's very simple thing. These stereotypes are everywhere, it's very normal
We're overreacting😂😂😂
Stevie talking nonsense again.
Graham Poll springs to mind
Anthony Taylor must be investigated!
I’ve seen someone online say they’ve found the games Mike Dean was referring to. <br><br>1. Not blowing whistle - (2009/10 season) Fulham v Wolves<br>2. Centre Circle - (2013 season) - Hull v Stoke<br><br><br>Can someone with access to the full games verify this?
So where’s sky sports, and the English press who always blame FIFA and Argentina thinking they are so better than any other country, I hope now you can blame Messi
And then you have people betting their livelihoods over this 😂
Everything has to be criticised by these privileged Europeans . <br>It’s a chill podcast no one needs ur analysis. They deserve the Islamic invasion happening rn .
Wow..so saying in podcast isn't real? Then whatever said in podcase is just a lie right, Nicol?
These refs were/are fans of a club that dominated for many yester years and started struggling when VAR was put in place👌i
Stevie is sober-minded on the Mike Dean situation. Don’t take podcasts too seriously folks!
Referees Gone Wild
Steve, It doesn't matter if its on a podcast or at a bar with his mates. This is a serious issue and trying to make this sound like people are going overboard with it?. I am kinda disappointed on Steve's take here.
Anyone else from this panel saying "unprofessional and foolish" might have been fine but Frank, he always have the stupidest takes and predictions all the time. Look who's talking
With this revelation, it becomes clearer what Mourinho said about Referee Taylor with regards to that Europa League final between Roma and Sevilla. Hopefully, when he also retires he comes out in some podcast to tell us about his own 'mini-game' in that final.
It starts at grass roots level I'm afraid.
is Steve Nicole brainless 😮😮 no he must be sick. this is crazy
I know he looks like Jasper Carrot and he thinks he's as funny as him - but he ain't
Here is an idea. Go to two referees per game like the NHL did!!
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh_VPeebyDg&t=139">2:19</a> To many referees want ro be rhe main character of the matches
What is he saying to affect ref now ?
I mean the bloke is an idiot really but we knew that anyway when he said that he did not want to throw his m8, under the bus his m8, in that instance being antony taylor, when he was on var for a chelsea vs spurs match many years ago when taylor was the referee.😂 my point is we all knew that mike dean, was far from whiter than white anyway when it comes to impartiality however a lot of the current referees are no different are they really one of them being the one that I already mentioned the now retired antony taylor, so the bigger question here is how many of them are there currently or have been over the years because let's not forget that var are all referees aswell.😂
Not even a mention of how he slaughters chickens. Terrible reporting.
As a United fan Howard Webb gave us a few calls i remember the Arsenal game the invincibles run Gary got away with a few wild tackles Van Nistelrooy kick someone in the knee Rio took a player out no penalty it was a spurs game they were down 2-0 cameback and won 5-2 Rooney got a pen just because unfortunately this stuff happens
Well said Frank. Mike Dean was a terrible referee. ‘Playing games’ within matches, he acted like he was the entertainment instead of him refereeing the entertainment. So unprofessional.
Jasper carrot there
No excuses for bad apple referees, please! This is not an isolated incident for Mike Dean, and there are other EPL referees with multiple incidents that challenge their competence and integrity. Meanwhile the PGMOL cover for them.
With Stevie on this one. Mike Dean was a professional, of course the players he refereed have a problem with him for a number of reasons, but I don’t see why the ref has to be absolutely perfect in order to be seen as a professional. He reffed for so many years how can anyone at some point not try to have a little fun during their job? These ex players don’t even know the specific incidents he’s talking about but take it as him not being a professional and ohh that’s why we never liked you. The man tried to have a little fun during incredibly stressful, tense situations. I imagine anyone working the same job for as long as he did would try something similar. And the refs today already get so much stick no matter how well they perform. They’re now semi refs with VAR and all so in a way it’s easier for them. I doubt any of them are thinking oh no now I’m really under pressure. Cameras on them all day and people in their ears there’s not much room for mistakes anyway. Ex players, get over yourselves. If decisions went against you during his time of course there’s bias. Let it go.
Take your pills Stevie, your going mental again
Frank summed it up… now we know
Hollywood Dean was always a troll, attention seeker, camera hogger and a flamboyant actor. I loved the disdain and aloofness with which he presented yellow cards but I thought it was real. Everything is an act unfortunately
10 minutes in inner circle would be crazy already.<br> That ref is a joke
Can't wait for coaches challenge to be inacted and automatic suspension for referees that blow crucial calls every game... The worst will be relagated to the ladies league! If the ladies will have them? I think not...
Whos that mong in the middle.
First Keefe D, now Mike Dean. Why is everyone snitching on themselves? 😂
Mike Dean=TIT!
Wenger must feel so redeemed after everything he said about Mike dean years ago. Everyone called wenger crazy, and now Mike dean just confirms everything wenger said.
Fans get called conspiracy theorists btw when they say some of these idiot referees are corrupt /not fit for purpose. I remember the heat Arsene Wenger would get from the media for calling out Mike Dean on more than one occasion for his horrible officiating.
surprise surprise… as fans have always said: premier league referees are a joke and the PGMOL who do not hold them accountable are just as well. <br><br>and to the media who protect incompetence in a job as delicate as this, you are another joke on top of all that <br><br>clowns all around
Funny guy
Soccer Saturday gunna be a fun watch…hope Merson and the rest absolutely roast him
Infantino rescinds a red card and ESPN cry about it like small children and throw temper tantrums and then a ref comes out and openly admits to corruption and its all a big laugh and joke and nothing to see here. You lot are wild. I wouldn't even employ you lot to clean my bathroom nevermind put you on national TV
“SHAT UPFH” - Frank 💁🏻♂️
They have always been useless,I’d say he has been recorded saying this,so he is putting it out there first ,otherwise he his thick as mince
Referring is not a hard job.
There have been many many many people have wrote into ESPN and have suggested corruption in refs and every single time this station has defended refs and dismissed their claims without any evidence to the contrary. When all the stuff came out about David Coote, it was "oh that is one bad egg" and now with Mike Dean (who many people have long since claimed was corrupt) Burley and co will dismiss this as just another bad egg. It is time for ESPN to apologise to anyone who has wrote in and has been patronised over this subject. And this is just the ones we know about. After the second example of mass corruption in English refs Stevie Nicol and Shaka are just dismissing this as a one off and standing up for refs again.
Terrible ref always thought he was shocking.
Up next
