| Former Ref Mike Ried - might regret saying this ... 13:10 - Sep 3 with 2790 views | dna | Former Premier League ref Mike Dean has admitted to some 'antics' on matchday : "There used to be games where we'd have a laugh. We used to say, 'We'll kick off now, right and we'd see how long we could go without blowing the whistle'. I've done that a few times in the Premier League before VAR. We went 20-25 minutes without blowing the whistle! I used to do another thing in the Premier League. I used to stand in the centre circle and see how long I could stay in the centre circle before I had to leave. That was just me joking about. Got about 15 minutes once in one game without leaving the centre circle." |  | | |  |

You knew what you got and didn't question his decision, much. A lot of respect for lot of refs in the Swansea senior league, no or very few impartial linesmen making it an almost impossible task with very little thanks for their time and effort. |  | |  |

That was my thinking, particularly the odds you can get on things like the first free kick ect. |  | |  |
| Former Ref Mike Ried - might regret saying this ... on 15:09 - Sep 3 with 2469 views | onehunglow | Dean is a wirrallian He used to go to the same gym as me he reffed us and was horrific,sinisterly IMO. He used the sauna after a workout like me I spent many months waiting for him to have a word. He knew my face and the Swans top I wore . it took me months to catch up with him and im pretty sure he tried to avoid me but eventually the time came. My time He's a Tranmere fan then and then a LFC one A jerk saw him also at Malaga airport . "allright Mike " |  |

I've seen him on Sky and he's a total waste of time with no personality at all |  | |  |
| Former Ref Mike Ried - might regret saying this ... on 15:54 - Sep 3 with 2336 views | EagleEye | We have witnessed some shocking referees & refereeing decisions over the years. Mike Dean right up there as one of the worst along with Stuart Atwell. Absolute disgrace to the ‘profession’ the pair of them |  | |  |

He's got a personality but it's just a really irritating one. |  | |  |

That last 5 mins v Stoke at home from Bobby Madley was pretty convincing that something was going on. Mike Dean - idiot. |  |

The very worst piece of refereeing I’ve ever witnessed. It’s difficult to see it as anything other than corrupt. Mike Dean at Ninian Park was very suspicious as well. One of the softest pens I’ve ever witnessed. Probably would never be give ever again. |  |

You’d like to think he made that decision because he got mullered in the head by that coin thrown from the crowd, but we all know he would have given that penalty anyway. Worst ref I remember seeing was that league cup game against Scunthorpe down here in ‘09. They were kicking absolute s**t out of our players, yet we ended up with 3 red cards I think it was. Pretty sure we finished the match with 7 men. 3 reds and used up all the subs when Dobbie got absolutely smashed. Can remember fans waiting outside for the ref after the game as well lol. |  | |  |

He certainly did and I think if we’d won that it would have been the first double so maybe their over celebrating was understandable. |  |
