MIKE DEAN: OFFICIAL STATEMENT - The latest on the Mike Dean mini games scandal.
Mike's PR team would like to address the recent comments made on Jamie Vardy's podcast. We apologise for any disrepute he might have brought the game into.
It's regrettable that he didn't leave the centre circle for 15 minutes. And of course he wishes now he'd decided to actually use the only piece of equipment a referee is meant to use. But give him a break. There were extenuating circumstances, such as Mike on occasion dressing up as a VAR monitor.
He also strongly denies the allegations regarding the cucumber, pineapple and 1 litre tub of vaseline.
We'd also like to strongly condemn the vicious and unnecessary hate Mike has been receiving, please refrain from adding to the vitriol.
We have strongly advised against future Mike Dean podcast appearances, but fully expect something like this to happen again in the near future.
**THIS IS A PARODY AND IS IN NO WAY THE OFFICIAL STANCE OF MIKE DEAN. PLEASE DON'T SUE ME**
