So I see a certain Mike Dean has been put in charge of the derby the same Mike Dean who's children have season tickets at our beloved neighbours you can't make it up can you.

The man is a die-hard Tranmere fan and did a decent job the last time he was in charge of this fixture. Don't know why you're so fixated on LFC in some of your posts mate?

I don't know why you would read through all my posts maybe you have too much time on your hands and reg Dean being the official imagine if his kids had season tickets at Goodison do you think he would be put in charge the answer is no 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ reading through my posts how sad.

{Ed002's Note - So we are back to everything being a conspiracy against Everton.}

Dean would not be in charge if he was Liverpool fan. Give it a rest.

Haven't read through all of your posts at all but, in the ones I've noticed, you always seem to throw LFC into the mix!
Do you remember the last time he reffed the derby? If so, did he have such a bad game? Did he give every contentious decision to Liverpool? What was your actual gripe with his performance?

I'm guessing you don't go the game bluespud because from 99% of performances against us have been shocking and ED02 if his kids had season tickets at Goodison do you think he would be allowed to referee a derby game.

{Ed002's Note - Referees have to declare their allegiance, so if he was a Liverpool supporter he would not be allowed to. But it is nothing to do with his kids I am afraid.}

Apparently the guy who washes his car every third Sunday of the month is a Man U fan. Should be enough to stop him doing that fixture too 🙄.

Sorry, my bad, didn't realise that he's reffed all of our games! Again, answer the question, what was so bad about how he officiated his last derby game? Nothing springs to mind for me, I don't remember any decision that was blatangtly biased in their favour do you?
We've all seen the video of him at a Tranmere game as a supporter so we can see where his loyalties lie. It's nonsense to suggest he will favour LFC just because his kids allegedly support them, you've already had the proof from the last derby he officiated, there was nothing to moan about after that game.

Good point BP, he didn’t make any decisions that stood out for me but in all fairness he didn’t have to as we quite frankly where absolutely shocking, beyond belief. What I am puzzled about is the fact that again, out of all the prem league refs That they decided to appoint one with this concern ‘even if loose’ . Anyone else in your household with an allegiance to another club some could say is a conflict of interest, being from the region again. on the boarder line. Does any of this mean bias - Not one bit, but I tell you what if there was a ‘controversial’ decision given the it just adds pressure on the decision to award him the game and normally you would try steer clear. Interesting points all round 👍.

ED02 his alliance is to Tranmere his 2 daughters have season tickets at Anfield that is the issue and we all know if his daughters had season tickets at Goodison he would not be allowed to officiate an Everton game so if common sense was involved in these decisions let's take any argument of being biased out of it and choose a ref with zero connection to that city or team that way there is no argument.

{Ed002's Note - How would you know that - it is not in the rules and you are simply making it a conspiracy against Everton - which it isn’t. Others have said it has been fine in the past. Great news, if Everton lose you have something to blame it on.}

Totally agree, Blu1, not a game I really want to remember to be honest! I think he proved to be fair in the first game so don't see a problem but that's only my opinion on it.
If we start banning referees from officiating games based on loose affiliations, I don't think we would have enough to do the job. There are plenty of families all over the country who support different teams from different areas so where do you draw the line?
I'm not singling anyone out here, believe it or not, but I see the entire argument as a defeatist attitude, looking for excuses before the game has started. We shouldn't be looking for scapegoats 3 or 4 days before the game is scheduled.
You're right there mate, he is on a hiding to nothing if that's how some feel, one mistake and the exuse is ready to roll off the tongue! I would have been more upset if it was Friend in charge, I've never seen that ref have a good game.

ED02 if we lose I blame it on the reasons we actually lost poor defending great goal them being a better team ect although we are the only team in the league that's had an apology from the FA after the ref and var gave a pen to Brighton so it's not too hard to see we don't get the rub of the green when it comes to officials infact before the season was stopped we where the only club that hadn't had 1 decision go for us reg VAR decisions 2 pens v Spurs 2 pens v Arsenal I could go on but as far as I'm aware if you have any links to a certain team you can not Referee that team and the FA could of picked any Ref yet chose to pick a ref whose two kids have season tickets at one of those teams why they have done that I don't know but why put yourself in that position.

{Ed002's Note - I am not sure if the FA know about his kids and certainly they don't care. You have to get away from all of these weird thoughts.}

Just throwing it out there but we have never won a match with him as a referee.

Thanks for that info lads. My GrandSon, Son In Law and Daughter are die hard Liverpool supporters. GrandSon switched from us to them. I realise now, I should never speak to them again.

Well let’s hope his kids have annoyed him and that he punishes them by giving decisions against Liverpool 🤣🤣🤣.
