Yeah, I'd be interested to know who got booked for that as MOTD2 didn't show anyone. Dier certainly should have gone in the book for choosing to celebrate in the way he did.

Man YouTube has really gone down the drain, embedding ads in the middle of the flipping videos.
Yep, it was just Dier. Really need at least one from each team for a mass conf, if I wasn't sure I'd be picking any one of the subs that came on the pitch. East to spot as they had bibs and trackie bottoms on …!
Cometh the VAR police next season these will all get an FA letter....
No VAR police needed, both teams charged with failing to control their players.
Good, I how the guilty are charged and banned along with the complete idiot supporter involved in the separate incident that doesn't even deserve mentioning! Pathetic!!
I would've gone for Lichtsteiner, as he, as a sub, was really the instigator from the Arsenal side.
Agree, he appeared to grab hold of Dier sparking the problems.
Not sure dier was grabbed. Dier had run away and ran back in once the fracas had already kicked off. Either way poor show from both teams but not unexpected.
Personally it looked much of nothing really bjt of shirt pulling. Correct to caution the celebration... whilst fuelled with emotion on a day like NLD it was unwarranted and lets face it, it didnt age well..

He definitely was, I remember seeing it live and thinking it could escalate. Dier did then run off, but other Spurs players reacted and he came back in. Personally I'm not sure Dier did that much wrong, he just held his hand to his ears which is pretty standard behaviour. Of course it is more inflammatory in a local derby, but doesn't excuse the reaction of the Arsenal players.

its also accusing Dean of lying as am 99.9% I read that he declared his team as Tranmere.
Even so, only folk with the intelligence of a paperclip relate a top, (a very top and experienced) referee with favouring another team, so it says more about the accuser than it does the accused.
If anyone thinks for one min at any point, Dean, (or any other supreme official) has ever considered doing anything "favourable" in a game for one team over another than that person clearly has no real grasp of being a referee themselves, only stitching a county badge on their shirt makes them comparable to other referees.
this is only the man who appointed to, then taken off the FA Cup final, for fear of upsetting purists because of his location. Its upsetting to read about such a respected official being accused of anything underhand on of all places, a referee site.
I’ve always liked Dean, he’s different, a few here could learn a lot from him mannerisms. He gets 9/10 every game I’ve seen him on TV.. We did have him at the Lane last season and he did struggle with ‘championship’ type tackles that he deemed too harshly IMO but he’s still a great referee.
