from way beyond you know, way back.
This is something
recent and that he can't understand what he's doing with that because he's so blinded by his place on on this circuit isn't just tell you doesn't just tell you something about Mike Dean, it tells you something about that referee in class.
And I agree entirely with what Tony's saying then as well.
Now he's come out since and said, you know, I used to re I I I applied light touch regulation.
I used to let the game flow
Oh this is what I was talking about.
I would never want to cast any aspersions on the integrity of my you know.
Yeah, well like you see, this they if you like anytime you get a glimpse, you know, and it's depressing to even have to get that glimpse into how referees think, you know, th they have obviously, because there is a select few of them refereeing these games all the time, they have developed their own um egos as well.
And also they have their own views, which is understandable on how they're gonna manage
Different people and they see this as um a almost a collision, or some of them do, a collision between their egos, uh, or wrestling match between their egos and the egos of the managers or players who are trying to manipulate their decisions.

Yourself to go down that road, as you say, like it's it's hugely it's hugely dangerous.

You know, we saw it in
Um whenever what twenty twenty three, whenever the uh Luis Diaz goal was this was you know the good process w uh VAR decision when he was on side but they forgot they didn't notice.
And then it came out that you know Michael Oliver, who I think it was the VAR, had been refereeing in the UAE that week and uh in a on a friendly, you know, and everyone was like, I didn't know referees.
I didn't know referees did friendlies.
