Idk where he thought he’d gone to mind. Tbh I think it’s the right call. He’s obviously ****ed up (as you’d expect with Mason) and panicked once he realised but he did blow his whistle again so it’s not a goal and in the spirit of the sport it’s right to not allow the goal imo. A ref letting a player have a free shot at a half open goal would be a bit unfair Agree with that. Let's be honest - we'd be completely livid if a free-kick like that was scored against us. It's completely against the spirit of the game to allow it to be taken into an empty net while the keeper is away setting up his wall. Otherwise everyone would just shoot from free-kicks straight away while the keepers doing that and walls are essentially useless. It's obvious that the mistake was just that Mason was being dozy and not paying attention to where the keeper and wall was. And he quickly realised that and tried to correct it. But its absolutely the right desicion to disallow the goal. Even if it is technically a valid goal by the rules, by the spirit of the game, we'd be absolutely seething and calling for the refs and the free-kick takers heads if a goal like that was allowed to stand against us. Similar to that Arsenal vs Sheffield United goal in the FA Cup - sure, it's technically valid, but it's obviously not right.

fox_up_north Posted 27 February 2021 Share Posted 27 February 2021 I remember years ago when you didn't know who refs were. They were just a name. "Bloke from X place". There really needs to be a shake up of refereeing in the sport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying players and managers only ever think they are rubbish when decisions go against them hence my comment about West Brom. From Big Sam. ""The referee blew the whistle twice so that was why it was disallowed, Lee Mason came over and explained the situation regarding that - the only way we can avoid it is put someone on the ball and don't move back until the referee moves you back. I thought everybody had to get set" Kyle Bartley. "here was a bit of confusion but Lee Mason dealt with it really well and came to the right conclusion. It was a bit confusing, I don't think it would have been right for them to score like that" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bear Posted 27 February 2021 Share Posted 27 February 2021 Ultimately the right decision was made. Mason shouldn't have allowed the free kick while the GK was still on his post organising the wall. He blew straight away again as soon as he realised but its a massive fvck up from him. Even more when he then gave the goal and had to get VAR to correctly overturn it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
