You said not sending off Foyth was a bad decision....if he didn’t said Pogba off for ten times worse, why should he send Foyth off
You're missing my point. I was ridiculing the notion that Dean is waiting for a high profile player to send off as his 100th red. If that was the case he would have sent off Pogba.


The Foyth challenge is a separate point about us being treated unfairly which which I don't think we were.
 
It didn't look like he was saying you know what you are to me.

But nonetheless that's fucking hilarious! New chant for Mike Dean incoming.
It was obvious that Poch and Perez (went nuts which is totally out of character) reacted to something cunty that Dean said, probably asked him to repeat it, no way that Dean is just the victim here.
 
Wasted energy and he ain't the reason for our season.

Scapegoating.
He's certainly not the reason... wouldn't wanna give him the credit...

Same as Kane returning isn't the direct reason for our weird dip in form the past 4 PL games...

But we certainly haven't been quite right since that game!
 
He is making himself out to be the victim though in that statement, honestly Poch needs to come out and say what happened.

What statement? Have I missed something here?

This isn't about him costing us the season. If someone calls him a *unt on the pitch he has cards at his disposal, he's not there to call names back. If someone says anything out of order at the final whistle he can report it.

He is not meant to be a focal point in a game.

And that's the infinitely more important discussion to be had.

What Pochettino said - Mike Dean's report in full
"At the conclusion of the game I was approached on the field of play by the Tottenham Hotspur head coach Mauricio Pochettino and some members of his coaching staff, including first-team coach Jesus Perez.

"Mr Pochettino acted in a very irresponsible and aggressive manner. He wouldn't stop saying 'you know what you are, you know what you are"'. I asked him to explain and he repeated 'you know what you are'.

"I then said on numerous occasions to go away at least 10 times and he wouldn't get out of my personal space and then aggressively pointed his finger just a few inches from my face, again saying 'you know what you are'.

"Mr Pochettino then left me alone and left the field of play. When I reached the tunnel he was waiting at the top of the stairs again saying 'you know what you are' and had to be escorted to the dressing room by security staff from Burnley."

No conspiracies - choose not to believe Dean if you like. It sounds totally plausible and from the video you can see him saying "go away", multiple times. The manager crossed a line. Should know better being a former player. The only excuse was "heat of the moment" having just lost - but even that does not justify it.

I'd argue that if he was on the touchline on Saturday, the result MAY have been different. In the stands for Liverpool as well.

No mention of why Poch and his team walked away, then stormed back towards Dean asking him to repeat what he said into a camera?

Fucking stinking cover up.

Agree

When the rat cunt dares officiate at the Lane, we just sing 'you know what you are'
