Koke Posted 8 February 2021 Share Posted 8 February 2021 I dont have anything against Micah Richards and Gabby Agbonlahor but their Brummie accents is unsuitable for radio & TV. Not trying to offend anyone but I can't listen to either of them for more than a minute, especially Agbonlahor. It's nails on a chalkboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen 15 year old grow better ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say Richards has a particularly Brummie accent, he sounds more northern to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richards has quite a prominent Yorkshire accent, maybe a Mancunian twang to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh ... that may look bad but if you look 3 frames back you will see that the Citeh player has just hit him very hard on the back of the head with a nunchuck, and then quickly concealed it in his shorts ... 31 minutes ago, Finnegan said: Ban these cvnts for life. Disgraceful. Or even longer !! .. if at all possible ... Seriously ... If VAR can stop this fvckin cheating sh1te it will have paid for itself 100 times over imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocolate Teapot Posted 8 February 2021 Share Posted 8 February 2021 Have to say I'm enjoying Liverpool falling away. Klopp is such a twat and it's rubbing off on players like Robertson and TAA. Keane is right with them. Also HOW MANY DOCUMENTARIES CAN TV COMPANIES MAKE ABOUT THEM WINNING THE LEAGUE. There's been about 3 and it's hardly a story. Rant over.

Manini Posted 8 February 2021 Share Posted 8 February 2021 (edited) I just want to play devils advocate here - he obviously feels strongly enough about this to withdraw himself from selection at the weekend (and fair play to him), but is (by the looks of it) happy to do a game on Wednesday night in the cup. What difference does the competition make in this scenario? Or do we think he’s just doing it because it’s been agreed and would be a ballache to change it at the last minute? He either wants to come out the firing line or he doesn’t, surely? Edited 8 February 2021 by Manini 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree though - odd he can do the Wednesday but not the weekend. Maybe it coincides with the break he was due as mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He either wants to come out the firing line or he doesn’t, surely? I think it's entirely possible that someone has messaged him online and sent an empty death threat, which isn't nice. I also think that he either already knew or had a strong feeling that he'd be dropped from prem matches for a while so everyone gets to save face. Like you say, if he was genuinely concerned then he wouldn't be reffing on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_horns Posted 8 February 2021 Share Posted 8 February 2021 That is twice now in a week. Maybe they should take a break themselves? Who is on the appeals panel - other refs who might be better on VAR ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballwipe Posted 8 February 2021 Share Posted 8 February 2021 When people try to make excuses for death threats by trying to make a conspiracy that he "knew he was getting dropped" well, it kind of sums up how shit football is these days. Everyone has an agenda, everyone is crap or useless and should never referee again. I don't know where we're going here, but it's not good. This sport is getting more and more toxic as the seasons pass because it seems the endless viciousness and idiocy of fans will never end. It's horrible. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bear Posted 8 February 2021 Share Posted 8 February 2021 The Soucek Red Card appeal has been successful. Surely they should now be looking at how the VAR ref ****ed up two weeks in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHDrive Posted 8 February 2021 Share Posted 8 February 2021 When a referee that has been officiating matches this long in the PL this tends to occasionally happen; They walk over to the screen, they already want to get the red card out, they pretend to veiw the footage, they nonchalantly walk back with a swagger that scooby doo would be proud of and send the player off. Abuse should never be accepted whatsoever, but it often has a route cause and Mike Dean is doing himself no favours. Hes been doing this for years. I reiterate though that online hate has no place in society no matter who you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that the PGMOL have “blood on their hands” here to a certain extent for not taking him out of the spotlight earlier, they’ve allowed this situation to bear fruit quite needlessly. We’ve seen multiple instances over the years where referees are given a bit of a break after they’ve made a few mistakes, why is this situation different? I don’t blame Dean here, at all, he ****ed up and he probably knows that too and if he could go back he’d probably change his mind. But allowing him to continue under the cloud of the first dodgy decision may have affected his judgement for his other mistakes, we don’t know if that is the case but it might be. I want to reiterate that online abuse is vile and needless and I hope that those responsible are prosecuted but this was a situation that was quite easily avoidable.

peach0000 Posted 8 February 2021 Share Posted 8 February 2021 Controversial opinion but Dean is actually one of the best officials in the league in my opinion. His eccentric style makes him more open for abuse where other worse referees get away with being shocking because they are almost anonymous. I always think dean shows equal contempt for all teams and players and is one of the few officials that doesn't seem openly bias. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
