Dean was fine. Kept the game moving. Got the cards right. My only gripe was that he didn't play enough stoppage time in the second half for the Blunts' time wasting. Not that it would have made any difference mind.
The West Stand lino was shocking, as per. Missed a blatant offside in the first half. Gave a handball he couldn't have seen then ignored one he could hardly have missed. Where do they get these clowns from?

Agree the lino was poor but some of the spectators should learn the offside rule that applies these days. I'm not saying I do, but perhaps some ought to realise that when the player receives the ball in an offside position it doesn't mean he was offside when the pass was played. Lets face it anyone with a bit of pace can destroy our defence with a well timed run

He got the main decisions right, but really should have clamped down on the time wasting earlier.
Its not as if we would have scored even if he added 20 minutes on, but its the principal.
Mind, why weren't our players making it very clear to him every time the opposition wasted time, we never seem to do it.

Looked a foul at the other end of the pitch before they got possession and went and scored, but that's the only major fault I could find with him.
