So Mr Dean has been dopped from the premiership this weekend for daring to give decisions against Man Utd. Then it got me wondering, did whoever reffed our home game against the Arse last season get dropped after they won with a ridiculous offside? somehow i doubt it.

It is a load of bullsh*t. Regardless if the decisions were right or wrong, this is a case of the FA (or whoever is responsible for the refs) breaking under pressure from Fergie. Absolutely pathetic. Double standards everywhere.

To be honest im happy about this decision, it's about time something happened to this the triggerhappy c**t.

Still pretty funny that they demote him now, should of come earlier, but I guess red nose and his team felt a bit shocked to actually get a decision against them for a change. Love it ;)

How come fergie never gets charged with bringing the game into disrepute, eevn though every other manager who says anything about refs is charged yet this time the ref gets demoted and fergie is happy??? Also it was hardly deans fault foe the offside of handball goals he was badly let down by poor linesmen

He gave decisions against us too guys but the only reason we're not really moaning about those is because we won. We'd be screaming for his head had we not done so. Right decision in my eyes because he was atrocious.

His decisions were pretty bad, i think someone clearly had a word with him beforehand and told him he was awarding too many penalties. So when he denied the Mancs one, there was no way he was gonna award one to Anelka even if it was 10x more obvious.

but its hardly suprising they quietly shuffled him off like that

im not arguing that he was poor, but why is it he gets relegated yet many other refs who have been equally poor or worse dont? like i said, arsenal had an equally offside goal against us last season and the ref in that game was shocking (cant remember who it was) but he never got relegated.

Two penalty decisions wrong and two goals allowed that shouldn't have been is a pretty poor return in a game of that significance. I am not surprised he has been punished for it.

the lino Simon Beck has been demoted too

But the question remains: had united won, would he be getting demoted despite Chelsea screaming for his head.

Answer. No farking way

I actually hope that Red nose continues to complain about the refs to the point that they hold a grudge against him and give him feck al. His "respect" campaing only suits when it favours his team. Grumpy old c*nt

He should have been demoted after he handed Man City three points over us, but oh well. Glad to see the back of the c**t.
