Gary Neville has joined the queue of pundits lining up to tell Mike Dean how badly wrong he was to send off West Ham’s Sofiane Feghouli.
Neville told Sky Sports: “The strange thing was, looking at the replay a couple of times since, I’m not sure why Mike Dean looks behind him – as if play is going to carry on,
“It’s as if he’s not thinking straight away about the challenge.
“I think it’s the reaction of the United players, the reaction of Phil Jones who no doubt has taken a kick and will have got hurt through it.
“They’re both lunging towards the ball. Maybe it’s Phil Jones’ reaction?
“To me, it’s just not a red card. As for Mike Dean, I’m not sure why he would follow the play if he’s going to give a red card.”
Never a red card… if anything the card should have gone the other way and then the second goal had 3 players miles offside . Dean looks like and referees like Jasper Carrott. He is always poor and thinks he is so special .
The club needs to take action

Bad first touch by Feghouli but the ball was rolling to the left. Feg stretches for it, Jones flies in from the right. Jones foot is higher than Fegs. If no one is in your line of attack your foot can be as high as necessary, your studs can be showing as long as its not a threat to other players. Jones comes from nowhere and commences to throw himself around as if he’s been shot by a sniper. ****er Dean buys it, as he always does with the so called “big teams.One minute nothing, then he knee jerks to the play acting and aggressive reactions of the Man U players. Result a foregone conclusion no matter how well you play. Second goal so off side it was ridiculous but hey ho it is Man u ain’t it. Mike Dean watch it again and hang your head in shame. you were conned and your so called assistant needs a guide dog. Please bring in video replays and stop refs from mugging themselves. Also it will stop bias (even subconscious). Too much money at stake to rely on one ageing fallible individual who is almost twice the age of most players and expected to run almost twice as far. Just don’t make sense. Please F A just think about it.
Sorry for rattling on fellas but I really am so f##king incensed by that arrogant pr##ck. Probably never payed at any reasonable level in his life. F###ing no mark c##t. COYI X
Meant played lads.
I have written it many times, but have to repeat myself again. British refs are the cancer of football in England. This one in in particular is a total clown. Although he has a very high opinion of himself (just look at the way he walks and behaves, as if he is the cutest of all), he doesn’t pass the test any higher than third division. Stats show he is the one who has pulled ore cards than any other ref. Is it because players decide to misbehave more with him than with other refs ? is it just coincidence ? No. He just doesn’t know how to apply the rules correctly and has no psychology. The way he treated Obiang says it all. Sending off a player with 30 seconds to go like he sent Reid off in another match is very revealing. His catastrophic handling of the contact (because that is all there was) between Feghouli and Jones proves once again he is a big ZERO, despite his petulant and pompous attitude.
Thinking about it more thoroughly, I even think this disgrace of ref is a racist. He doesn’t like foreigners, and certainly less Africans. Think about what he does on the pitch and tell me what your conclusion is…
