Professional Game Match Officials Ltd (PGMOL) have reacted to Mike Dean's controversial VAR claim made on Up Front podcast with Simon Jordan.
"I missed the stupid hair pull at Chelsea versus Tottenham which was pathetic from my point of view," Dean said.
“It's one of them where if I had my time again, what would I do? I'd send Anthony [Taylor] to the screen. I think I knew if I did send him to the screen … he's cautioned both managers, he's had a hell of a game, it's been such a tough game end to end. "I said to Anthony afterwards: ‘I just didn't want to send you to the screen after what has gone on in the game’.
“I didn't want to send him up because he is a mate as well as a referee and I think I didn't want to send him up because I didn't want any more grief than he already had.”Dean's remarks irked many and there is the danger of referees' integrity being questioned as a result. That led to PGMOL Professional Game Match Officials Ltd issuing a statement on the matter.
"When VARs identify a clear and obvious error by the on-field team and match officials, they should intervene and recommend a review by the referee. We strongly refute any suggestions that VARs do not intervene, for whatever reason, when they have identified a clear and obvious error.”
