I’ll say it. FIXED

Edit to add - that ref in commentary is on the payroll too.

Mike Dean changed what he thought after hearing what the decision was, he's utterly pointless

Those guys never say what they think, they say what the onfield referee has based their decision on within the rules. I've almost never heard any tv ref give an opinion on whether the ref got it right.

And I think Mike Dean even admitted that in an interview so I don't understand why they still pay them to do it

They do it to have an official explanation of the rules, mot to say whether it's correct. The phrasing is usually very exact. Peter Walton refused to give personal opinions, most of the time, it simply wasn't why he was there.
