Appointment baffles Blackwell
22 May 2009 - 12:02:09
Sheffield United manager Kevin Blackwell is unhappy that Mike Dean will be refereeing Monday's Championship play-off final against Burnley at Wembley.
Blackwell is still seething at Dean's decision to send off Blades defender Matthew Kilgallon during the Steel City derby earlier in the season.
He fumed: "I'm disappointed with the appointment of Mike Dean. I marked him low after that game (against Wednesday) and now he gets this job.
"It's not good for Mike Dean and it's not good for Kevin Blackwell or Sheffield United as our last meeting was less than amicable.
"It puts him under pressure and it's not as if there aren't any other top refs out there. The lads were amazed when Killa was sent off in that one.
"Common sense, in life these days, seems to have gone out of the window. Why put Dean in that position?"
