Welcome back to The Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet.
This week, Jamie Carragher and Wayne Rooney are joined by former Premier League referee Mike Dean for an honest look inside the world of officiating. Mike lifts the lid on what referees really deal with, from managers who were the hardest to handle to how criticism affects officials from one game to the next.
We also break down Rooney’s issues with the modern refereeing standard, the pressure VAR puts on officials, and whether players influence refs more than people think. Mike also reflects on iconic moments from his career, including the unforgettable Aguero title-winning goal.
