Walton has admitted Mike Dean does celebrate goals

And in light of Dean’s record, Walton, who retired from officiating in the top-flight in 2012, has claimed no referee goes out to games with the intention to dish out bookings.“Showing red cards is not something that referees look forward to,” Walton wrote in the Times,“Its not part of our makeup but issuing red cards is part of the game.“Will it have played on his mind? No, he will have just gone out there and refereed the game between Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.”3

Dean has given out 100 red cards

Walton, 59, continued to say fans should appreciate Dean’s high-level game management throughout his career and remarkably admitted that he does, indeed, celebrate goals during matches.He wrote: “He is a great guy to have within the referees group, very relaxed and confident and he is not afraid to show his sense of humour and character on the field.“Just look at the way he celebrates goals and his pronounced hand signals after he has made big decisions.“He celebrates the fact that he has contributed to that goal by having the confidence and skill to play an advantage.

He is celebrating the goal for the good of football and the good of his own performance.“There are just a few referees around the world who display that and Mike is one of them and thats why he is still at the top after 19 years.”3

Pochettino was involved in an angry confrontation with Dean earlier this season

Dean has been one of the Premier Leagues most recognisable figures since the early 2000s and he is miles ahead in the all-time red card race, with no other official reaching 60 yet.While his career has been laden with controversy, he enjoyed a relatively quiet night on Tuesday as Wolves dealt a huge blow to Man Uniteds top-four hopes.
