I love the way he's basically called Jon Moss a clown in front of millions.

Smith is growing into a manager who knows he belongs at the top level.
I had my ‘wobble’ about him around last Christmas, but since the restart I think he has proved what a top class manager he is becoming.

And, I was convinced he called Moss a twat last night.

I hope that Dean’s public undermining of Moss forces the PGMOL to not give us Moss again.  He’s screwed us time and again, he clearly has an agenda the fat unfit twat.

Yep, looked like it to me.  Three games from Moss and we've had the following: not giving a penalty for a blatant handball against Arsenal, a stamp on Konsa being given as a penalty to Man U, then last night's debacle. The club should make the strongest possible public complaint to the Premier League and PGMOL and shame them into not putting him in charge of any more of our games. He doesn't look fit enough to ref ANY games to be honest, the fat c***.

He's been doing it for years against us, Helenius being raped and not getting a penalty.

I am in two minds about this.  On the one hand I do not want him near a Villa game ever again.  But on the other hand I would like to see him in front of a full house at Villa Park and forced to listen to what we think of him.

I was scratching my head at the juggling balls comment. Creative way to avoid using the 'c' word alright *

Bloody brilliant, passionate response from Smith. He'll geta fine and be banned to the stand on Saturday but he probably thinks it's worth it.

I really enjoyed him repeating the 'juggling balls' quote in every interview too.

It's a growing list, Brian. Personally I look forward to Michael Oliver appearing a full Villa Park.

We got rid of Friend, who hasn't refereed us since Smith likely threatened to flay him after the worst refereeing decision I have ever witnessed. I'm hopeful Moss is never refereeing one of our games ever again.

Will it just be the one game touchline ban Dean gets?

He stays in the stands at VP anyway doesn't he? Or atleast he spends alot of time there, probably for a better view.

Smith has taken another step up in my opinion after last night.  When we complain about decisions going the way of the top 6, it is precisely because they have managers who are prepared to complain in the press and put officials under pressure.  Ferguson did it, Wenger did it, Mourinho, Klopp and Guardiola all do it - other fans hate them for it, but you can't deny they get what they want more often than not.

Smith is a decent man, but last night proved to me more than ever than he also has that mean streak in him that top managers need.  We can't get back the points we were robbed of last night, but the next time there is a marginal decision in one of our games this will be in the ref's mind.

I think so, as they were two yellow cards - albeit one immediately after the other - rather than a straight red.
