Death threats to Mike Dean (ref) and his family

People can go back to writing poison pen letters.

I doubt they could hold a pen

Couldn’t agree more Brin. I can’t believe that 3 pages of the rights and wrongs of VAR that nothing has been said about the sick individuals whose answer to everything is threats of violence. Surely the violence is a far more important issue to deal with than some insignificant technology?

Its what I said earlier, and look at the tone of the opening post - "disgusting what happened but no surprise". The constant slagging off refs almost legitimises this kind of abuse and threats.

until social media anonymity is opened up, an keyboard spunkbombs are outed and penalised.
knowt will change.

Totally agree. "Faceless" cowards who feel all big and brave behind a keyboard. The internet, social media specifically, has given spineless weasels a platform to spout their bile that they would never have dared say if they had to do so face to face.

It's almost certain that the death threats are just empty, pathetic words from some sad armchair fan of a plastic premier league team. But Mike Dean, and his family, arent to know that for certain. So how they must be feeling is anyone's guess. They will be in turmoil.

The perpetrator(s) needs finding and prosecuting. I bet you a pound to a penny when they are caught and named and shamed they arent some big scary monster. Just a sad pee stain of a human with a sad, empty life.

Ps, Mike Dean is a poor ref by the way, and its legitimate to criticise his performances but to threaten him, and his family, physically? No. Just no!

It started in 1991 with the 5 Live phone in 6-0-6. Listeners were invited to phone in and slag off refs, players and managers. Social media took it to a new level. Look at the flack Warne gets - and hes a decent bloke doing a reasonable job.

I did say it’s disgusting if that helps
