Hats off... Top draw tonight, didn't fall for any of their usual tactics.

Minus the 5+ mins of added time?
Other then that i agree.

yeah, he reffed well and let a lot of stuff go, which is better for the game

oh, and a marvellous decision for the penalty too.

A great display.

The stand out moment for me was when Rooney threw himself over theatrically outside our box and he just turned away.

Those niggling ankle kicks that they got away with last season were stamped out pronto as well. Top job.

He did a good job, didn't take any shit off the cunts and didn't lose his head. I bet we get a right cunt next week though.

very fair point mate. bacontime is just a joke among fans now. that was a 3er for me. 4 at the outside.

Thanks Mike

The Rag cunts are complaining bitterly on 5live - good work son.

if I was a rag I would have been livid with the ref tonight, I thought he was very pro city and gave them fuckall.

LONG LIVE MIKE DEAN

Ref did well tonight, not in awe of the Rags by any stretch, if anything he went the other way; boy, did they not like it! How many tantrums and foot-stamps? Still not sure about the penalty, but at the end of the day if he hadn't been grabbing Bellamy's shirt it wouldn't have been given.

Imo it was'nt a pen but niether was Micah's on Saturday as first contact was outside the box.Swings and Roundabouts anyone?.

YEah, wasnt a pen... good reffing otherwise

He pointed to the spot...that in itself was some of the greatest reffing I have ever seen.

Maybe them being skint has something to do with it...A plain brown envelope with only an IOU in it doesn't have the same pull with refs...:-)

Oi taggart...CASH ONLY...BUT YOU AIN'T ANY OF THAT...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I love him

Allowed a physical brand of football to be played, hats off to him...

Very good refereeing and not only for having given us a penalty, he controleld the game well even if some minor decisions I didn't agree with in the heat of the moment, but overall a very good display.

mike dean is a liverpool fan from the wirral, he hates them more than us, God help us if we get WILEY or RILEY in the second leg.

At the game I actually thought he was piss poor, especially for the penalty and corner that led to the goal. However, having watched it after getting in I thought he actually played well. Rafael did pull Bellers in the box and it did flick off a scum player for the corner, BBC told me ;-)

I watched the game on the beeb. They showed te oenalty situation about a thousand times, and I really couldn't see Rafa pulling Beller's arm or shirt in the oenalty area. That was a good bad call from the ref.

The corner leading to our second was correct, though.
