Leroy rips into ref Dean: “That was an utter disgrace”

|

leroylogoIt’s all about Mike Dean as far as Mike Dean is concerned….his performance today was an utter disgrace.

I just knew that when he took his time to make a decision on the sending off he would get it wrong! Useless…utterly useless. He ruined what was going to be a great game of football.

And as for the second goal – a total and complete shocker. There were three United all standing offside and Dean didn’t think twice about giving the goal.

A child who has just learned the offside rule could have seen at least one of those players was offside, never mind the three but not apparently Dean.

I’ve never liked him as a referee. His looks and glances are all – it seems to me – designed to ensure he looks good in the morning newspapers.

That was one of the worst refereeing performances I can remember seeing and he will deserve ever dreadful headline he should get.

Slaven can be very proud of West Ham – the lads were excellent – and the key moment came when Michail Antonio failed to lift the ball over De Gea with that one on one in the second half.

Had he converted that we might have have had a whole different game on our hands but despite that the Hammers can feel very very proud of their performance.

In the end having only 10 men and United seemingly 12 with the assistance of some totally incompetent reffiing and lining did us in.

Mike Dean should feel totally ashamed of himself.

    Absolutel shocking display by the officials,totally agree Leroy.
    I couldnt fault our lads though.At times it was difficult to tell it was 11v10.

  • GW says:

    It will be Slavs fault according to Kevin and he’ll be retracting his support in the next hour πŸ™‚

  • kcockayne says:

    Agree completely. The lads can be proud. I think that, overall, we were the better team. I haven’t been too complementary about some of this season’s performances – but this wasn’t one of them. It is not easy to play with ten men against thirteen ! But, had Antonio scored with either of his two chances, we could have won. Ratings ? All get 6 or above from me, but Nordtveit, despite recent improvement, does not seem to be very good – 4. Payet – time to drop him, anonymous in this match. Lanzini – 8 man of the match.

  • Al Bundy says:

    Any one of our fans who wants to bad-mouth the team after the effort our guys put in really do need a good kicking.

    • CondorHammer says:

      Sorry Al, but I thought Payet was pretty sh1te tonight.
      He looked like he couldn’t give a monkeys to me.

      • Al Bundy says:

        I dont think it matters what Payet does now a section of fans will say he was sh1t or doesnt care.He hasnt been at his best i agree but i dont agree he was sh1t
        Still thats what opinions are all about buddy.
        I was more leaning towards anyone who wanted to doubt the team effort as a whole without pin pointing certain players πŸ˜‰

        • CondorHammer says:

          Absolutely Al, I agree the teams effort as a whole can’t be questioned.πŸ‘
          I just think when Dimi’s not on form he’s a luxury we can’t really afford.
          Still love the fella though!
          And you know what they say about opinions/ar5eholes mate!

          • Al Bundy says:

            Lol very true bud.Hey it would be boring if we all thought the same all the time & as long as we can all have debates without it getting nasty its great..
            You ar5ehole HaHa 😁

    • CondorHammer says:

      Ok, it’s mister ar5ehole to you lol😊

    • Radai Lama says:

      Ignore Condor.He is a troublemaker Al.He is always looking for a scrap 😁😁😁

  • ironswatch says:

    HE SHOULD HUNG HIS HEAD IN SHAME he made sure we lost with the second goal what a joke even at 1-0 i thought we was still in the game

    well dont the boys but it was to long to hung on if only Antonio put one of his chances away

  • Colin Irons says:

    Had a text on the way home from a Spurs mate..he said fair play thought your lads were terrific tonight down to 10.Put in a top shift.
    I couldnt agree more.

  • kevin says:

    We were looking really good for the first 15 mins and looked like we could actually win the game . But then Mike Dean heard on his headset that the cheque had arrived , twice .
    12 against 10 is not a winning scenario .
    Nothing more we could have done .
    Oh , and before I forget ; Happy New Year , GW .

  • gebbyuk says:

    Man U fans taking the P out of the ref “He follows Man U, He follows Man U ! Mike Dean he follows Man U !” Says it all …. got to be worse ref performance of the season … but Man U get the decisions a offside goal last week, same again today and a shocking red card !!
    Mike Dean I do hope you get fined by the FA for your verbal rant and threat to Pedro Obiang !

  • Colin Irons says:

    I have just geen reading about what he said to Pedro.Totally unbelievable.
    What a huge pile of sh#t he really is!!

    • tonpark says:
