Reffed it fairly until the last twenty minutes or so. Let a lot go for both teams so game wasn't stop start and didn't go mad with the cards. Then he spoilt his performance in the last twenty minutes by giving them most of the decisions and giving us nothing when our players kept getting caught around the neck challenging for the ball. Still one of the better refs we've had this season. Usually they attention seek so more they go under the radar, the better their performance.
He's a bell end of the highest order Bradders got **** all all afternoon while he was being assaulted. Needs another relegation in my opinion, complete dick.
Went to College with Lee in Liverpool and played in the same team - never had him down as a ref ... still don't
He was utter garbage and Bradders was pulled all over the place with no reward and as for the Middlesbrough players leading with the forearm when jumping for headers right in front of him, useless bell end!
I must admit when their defender dragged Thiam to the ground with his arm round his neck and the ref. waved play on I began to question his eyesight.Happier memories of Mason from the Millenium Stadium.
On another thread I referred to him as a piece of dog excrement that had been shat out by the FA on to the blessed Oakwell turf. In retrospect that was too kind. He is more of a lion turd.
And then we come to Lee Probert in the Brentford v. Millwall game . Refs against us sometimes allow 10 yards of play to continue before bringing back to a free kick for the opposition . Probert blew for a penalty when the ball was going to an unmarked Millwall player (who scored) . So does he have tunnel vision or is it another example of a Premier League Ref coming down the leagues and providing evidence that they are crap . Send them down even lower levels to experience their quota of covering lesser leagues . Yes I know it was against Millwall which the majority of BFC will laugh about BUT what would your reaction be if it happened to us ?
I often bemoan Bradshaws lack of physicality, but today the centre backs were all over him. The pillock of a linesman may as well been remotely controlled by Mason, as he didn't seem to be able to make decisions for himself.
