Michael GranthamHOST
Like, he was on Sky Sports at the weekend doing his fucking referee...
Michael GranthamHOST
He's on, uh, Soccer Saturday, isn't he?
Adam FarrellHOST
Yeah.
Michael GranthamHOST
They've got the, the pundits watching the games, and he's on the end as if anyone asked for that as a paying viewer.
Pete GravesHOST
You know, to give you a little bit of insight, the people watching the podcast, we all get in our positions very fortunate to interview managers and stuff like that.
Pete GravesHOST
Now, I've interviewed Jokovic a couple of times last season when they were in the championship and doing games for Soccer Saturday and so on.
Pete GravesHOST
And when I got there, my camera operator was like, have you met the whole manager? No, no.
Pete GravesHOST
Oh, he's great.
ChessieHOST
mistake because if you are, I mean, first of all, me and Sean were sat there.
ChessieHOST
We'd said early because we just watched the ticker come through on Gillette Soccer Saturday.
ChessieHOST
That's how we watch it.
ChessieHOST
And we could see that there was a problem early on.
Benjamin BloomHOST
And before I saw a replay, I thought it was onside.
Benjamin BloomHOST
And then I was watching Jules on Gillette Soccer Special and And then they showed 15 replays and I'm like, oh, maybe he's off.
Benjamin BloomHOST
Maybe he's on.
Benjamin BloomHOST
But my first instinct was that he was on and he timed it.
BenHOST
It's like
speaker_3UNKNOWN
Soccer Saturday, isn't it? He's on top for City.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
He's going to score goals.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
He's proven it at Dortmund.
Anthony CorneliGUEST
He won the Scudetto, et cetera, et cetera.
Anthony CorneliGUEST
And then as, um, soccer become, became more and more mainstream, TSN had a show called Soccer Saturday.
Anthony CorneliGUEST
Uh, it was hosted by Graham Legett, and they would show a lot of the EPL highlights.
Anthony CorneliGUEST
And the Serie A highlights, they would just, like, show the scores and, and maybe just quickly go through it.
Scott McPikeHOST
But for those who maybe don't know about it, it has caught a lot of attention.
Scott McPikeHOST
But Mike Dean, former, former Premier League referee, you might have seen him in things like Gillette Soccer Saturday and Ted Lasso.
Scott McPikeHOST
He said some things on Jamie Vardy's podcast.
Scott McPikeHOST
Now, the two things that really jumped out are the, the, what he said during his 22-year career, he revealed two main challenges that he used to set himself with.
Scott McPikeHOST
Yeah, but we'll get, we'll maybe cover this next time Des is on.
Scott McPikeHOST
We'll cover it as well because it's probably a fascinating thing to talk about, like why referees kind of do, do that kind of thing because it just doesn't help.
Scott McPikeHOST
One thing I, I, I, I'm, I don't know where you stand on this, right, because Mike Dean at the moment has probably one of the poshest jobs in refereeing where, or ex-refereeing, where he sits in a Gillette Soccer Saturday studio on a Saturday and basically just gives the opinion, which is a posh...
Scott McPikeHOST
I imagine you'd want that job.
Chris LumsdonHOST
Bristol City away.
Jonny GrahamGUEST
Mike Dean's on Soccer Saturday.
Jonny GrahamGUEST
He shouldn't have been allowed Saturday.
Jonny GrahamGUEST
No, they should get
Craig HouldenHOST
Just give him a fucking job.
Craig HouldenHOST
Bring him on there as the refereeing correspondent on Gillette Soccer Saturday.
Craig HouldenHOST
Because again, that's the bastion of morality right there, isn't it? The whole thing, I don't want referees being pseudo-celebrities, and I just hate that they are, because it just gives them more influence again, and more scope to be impactful in the game.
Craig HouldenHOST
They should just go about their job professionally, get compensated how they get compensated, and we shouldn't even know their fucking names.
Adam HurreyHOST
So fair play.
Adam HurreyHOST
But yeah, the end of this story, Charlie, this sort of the bookend of it came on Soccer Saturday where he had this sort of ham-fisted climb down from the story just saying, yeah, I was just, you know, maybe sort of got the wording wrong here.
Adam HurreyHOST
But yeah, I guess it was a good platform to be sort of put right about it.
Adam HurreyHOST
But I think this story should probably end here, shouldn't it?
12 MINS LATER
Adam HurreyHOST
A little cameo role.
Adam HurreyHOST
Next up, this came from our man, Jake Farrell, who I think qualifies for an our man these days.
Adam HurreyHOST
Here's Merson on Soccer Saturday giving his verdict on Chelsea's summer sales.
