A chance for some rubbish Championship refs to be promoted Martin Atkinson bottling his pen at Anfield and Mike Dean giving Leeds a penalty when the ball hit Roberts hand outside the box. I am sure Jon Moss probably made a bad mistake in one of our games too. I will miss Mike Dean but he's 2/1 to be on Strictly so fingers crossed
I'm sure I heard somewhere that Mike Dean is going to Stockley Park to be in charge of VAR. That'll be a hoot, won't it!
In modern times I've never rated Mike Dean.In the early part of his career he reffed us at Chesterfield and the mere fact I remember that shows how bad he was on the day.

I recall Martin Atkinson ruining a game at Oakwell that is often forgotten. 20th October 2004. Barnsley 1-3 Doncaster Rovers. John Doolan cynically forcing Stephen Mcphail's off in the 6th minute without any punishment, and later sending Jacob Burns off.
Atkinson went 13 years between games for us after his Anfield howler. Did we complain to the FA about him so he was kept away? https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mar...erein_id/349/wettbewerb_id//funktion/1/plus/0 Moss we've hardly ever had either....... https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jon...erein_id/349/wettbewerb_id//funktion/1/plus/0
They're Premier League refs, so why would they ref us apart from cup games which would be pot luck???
