Where to next for refereeing?

At one time 48 was the age refs retired, but now there's no age limit, so providing they pass the fitness test, they can carry on. Dean, 52, does look pretty fit so unfortunately it looks like he'll be around for a few years yet.

A fine athlete for his age, more power to you Mike !

52?! Jesus, I look pretty good for my age in comparison then. Though I'm not as fit, I'd struggle to generate enough puff to blow a whistle as much as he does.

It used to be the case that you could console yourself that refs had to retire at a certain age (47, was it?) and you'd be shot of the bastards.

Now they hang around like shit on a blanket and, when they finally have to pack in, you know they'll be lined up to piss about with the VAR verdicts!
