       Fantastic show of passion. I'm surprised he didn't break his
       seat  ;D

       He’d have a job; that side of the ground is terraced.

       He must have been standing on something (or someone) - an
       adoring fan or his wife maybe - on BBC Breakfast News, he was
       head and shoulders above anyone else at the away end and he's
       not that tall!
       Seriously, brilliant from Mike, but has he harmed his chances of
       refereeing key games involving the Mersey teams?
       I think we can take it that Mike will be at Wembley on 25th May
       but not in charge of the L2 Playoff Final. But could he be
       staying on to referee the L1 or Championship Finals? He needs
       the L1 Final to complete a clean sweep of the Finals.

       He was standing on the railing - lucky he didn't fall!

       Personally I would trust him to referee Tranmere.  He is a
       professional and would act accordingly.

       Also lucky that a steward didn't take steps to have him removed
       from the ground. "Unhand me you fool, do you know who I am?" ;D

       I think it is brilliant! It also shows how much passion referees
       have for the game and that they are true football supports too.
       As I think a lot of football supports believe referees just turn
       up to ruin a game of football but that is so far from the truth.

       Ah yes, the Ice Cream Van stand, an experience few are ever
       likely to forget in a hurry. I ventured in there once when the
       Palace were playing Crewe in the Championship. And the referee
       was ...Mike Dean. Palace were lucky to get away with a 2-2 draw.
       How fortunes have changed!

       I don't know what, if anything, Mike Dean would have made of it,
       but I think that Eddie Ilderton's decision to send off Carl
       Winchester of Forest Green for a second yellow, was extremely
       harsh. More sinned against than sinner comes to mind, and with
       over 20 minutes left on the clock, it undoubtedly didn't help
       Forest Green's cause.

       I didn't think the second YC was merited for that incident, but
       felt Winchester didn't help himself, his first caution was for
       dissent, he kept getting in the referee's face and think there
       was a foul by him just before the second YC.

       Absolute legend. Fantastic to see such a passion for the game
       and his team!
