Southampton Football Club have taken drastic action after two games of VAR chaos and according to Adam Blackmore of the BBC have sent in a request to the footballing authorities.
Adam Blackmore has tweeted the following
"Southampton have requested that Mike Dean and Lee Mason don't referee them in the near future.
"The request comes after both were involved in contentious moments this week versus Villa and Man Utd"
Being perhaps the closest journalist to the club, Blackmore's information usually comes from reliable sources from the club itself.
Clearly Saints feel that they have not been treated fairly by either referee and although this is stopping some way short of accusing them of cheating, it is a statement that they feel that neither official is competent and they have no confidence in their ability to do their job in a professional manner.
