Everyone is keeping schtum when it comes to what sparked the unsavoury scenes at the end of Burnley's win over Tottenham on Saturday. It was not like Mauricio Pochettino to lose his cool with a referee, but he did just that after the final whistle at Turf Moor.

And it seems to be what Mike Dean said, rather than what the official did, that got the Argentinian's back up.

Dean must have said something bad to rile Poch up like that. Haven't seen him that angry before.

I don't think it would have taken much to set MP off.
This is classic fergy tactics of deflecting from a bad result.

Need a lip reader!
Personally think the pressure got to Poch, he was disappointed and frustrated and Dean got both barrels

Whilst the lack lustre performance and team selection cost us this game. Mike Dean is and has been a disgrace to his profession for years. He represents everything wrong in the modern celebrity hungry game. Dean is Mr Entertainment especially when the cameras are involved. His antics a few weeks ago at the City/Chelsea game were terrible. He continues to be the Star and the authorities do nothing. Can’t wait to see him celebrate his 100th Red Card, shirt over his head a programme dedicated on Sky! Just like Fergie we should refuse and lodge that he never ever refs any of our games again. He’s a joke a clown ? and needs to be ruining people’s weekends @ Park football level - Rant Over!!!

Someone's gotta ask you & it may as well be me because no **** likes me anyway.

Where have you heard that?
I agree. Why post anything like that-you have as much clue what was said as the rest of us-f*** all. Obviously want a moment in the limelight - like that w***** Dean.

I bet he said "don't blame me because your boys bottled it", or words to that effect.

It was either a hilarious misunderstanding that we'll all end up laughing about, looking at pictures of Poch and Dean on a Yacht clinking glasses of sparkling wine as buddies, or this is opening event at NWHL; Dean v Poch, No Holds Barred, barbed wire table match.

Or it'll just be some comment where a guy pumped on adrenaline that's now got nowhere for it to go reacting to the Ref saying something he took as a pisstake. It's likely nothing more than, "I'm the ref, I make the calls, jog on".

Arm wrestle? Slapsies? Rock, Paper, Scissors? It's over, moving on.

Can anyone tell me why everyone was having a go at Dean this time? Other than the corner (which the linesman gave) ?
We scored from a throw in taken in the wrong half of the pitch.
