That Peter Crouch Podcast with Mike Dean

If you have a spare 45 mins then listen to this. Absolute
fantastic listen and fair play to Mike Dean for being himself
and being honest.

Good listen!
Glad to hear that Mike Dean hopes to carry on for at least one
more season after this one. He noted that age slows you down and
he struggles with Saturday-Tuesday-Saturday-Tuesday now but
experience helps him to still control games without running all
over the place.
Interesting to say that a year or so ago he wasn't convinced by
VAR but now sees its advantages.

And biggest revelation of them all after another thread
discussion - they can now wear tracksuits to games!

Excellent stuff. There should be more interaction like this, if
only to show that referees really are just normal people.

I agree with the above and it feels like slowly it's improving.
There was some stuff with Mike Dean about his 500th game last
month and the referee section of the Premier League website has
started to have a bit more input on decisions from Chris Foy. I
think Bobby Madley's use of twitter/blogging has also helped
show the human side of refereeing, even though there were
obviously specific circumstances leading to that.
I think much more needs to be done though and it has to be
followed up. The Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher documentary a
few years ago was great but that was in 2017 and we've not
really had anything since.

There should be a weekly Q&A style show with referees being
asked questions from the general public/media/clubs etc. I'm
sure it would be a ratings winner. ;D

All a bit trivial but quite revealing none the less. Anything
thst can get across that referees are actually human can do
nothing but good.
