Stepped back into the Blues half whilst the team celebrated the goal yesterday so Blues couldn't kick off. Speaks volumes that for his experience, football brain and awareness. He'll come good.

He'll come good.I think Mike Dean takes the credit for that, he called Jedinak back and appeared to suggest he should step back into their half.
Still misses the point that the game can only restart once he blows his whistle so I don't really get the point of him telling Jedinak to go therewhen they couldn't have restarted without his say so anyway.
Yes, but a player still in their half stops them kicking off and Dean pointedly telling Jedinak to go there means they can't try to kick off while our players are still celebrating and then going all ballistic at him when he pulls it back. Very sensible refereeing, stops any potential flashpoint with one simple action.

A Nose mate of mine (one of the intelligent, successful, washed ones) was quite miffed about this on Facebook: "This really is overstepping the line. That cannot be within his purview!"
