Mike Dean: Ex-referee admits match antics

Former Premier League referee Mike Dean admitted on a podcast that he used to challenge himself with small games during matches, such as seeing how long he could go without blowing his whistle or staying in the center circle. BBC Sport reports that officials consider Dean's claims to be unfounded and likely from before the introduction of VAR in 2019. Dean, who retired after a 28-year career including officiating major finals, has previously caused controversy with media statements, including a failed VAR intervention in a 2022 match and remarks about refereeing decisions.
