After reversing his penalty decision (thanks!) he's bullied for minutes by several Hudders players in plain sight of 30,000 fans - and just takes it..........

He saw a blatant dive by Puncheon yet didn’t book him, gave fouls for both teams when players just fell to the floor, missed the foul on Hoilett for a pen, probably shouldn’t have reversed his decision for their pen.
What typified his performance was when he stopped play for a head injury and we had possession. To restart the game he dropped the ball back to their keeper - one of many baffling decisions.
God I would not want his job in any shape or form, knowing someone will hate or dislike you , today I thought he was poor.
Just Imagine going to work every day knowing someone will hate you, or disagree with you on a split decision, most of us struggle with choosing the right sandwiches to buy ?
I usually avoid criticising refs as it happens too often, but.... I could have sat in my car a mile from the ground with the windows down and blown a whistle when the urge took me and still got more decisions right than he did. During the second half I had to start laughing at how bad he got.
I struggle to see what is happening on the opposite side of the pitch sometimes! I can't understand why VAR is being brought in before 2 extra line-officials.Quote:

Yes it was a poor preformance but when you have the ref against you:shrug:
Agreed. Mason was bad today, but most of our team, and our manager, were, arguably, worse at their jobs today than he was at his.Quote:

A absolute baffling array of wrong decions mostly against us but some for them as well. Two of his decisions were overturned by linesmen. The head injury one he complete ignored the rules of the game by throwing the ball to their keeper.
Laughable booking on Hoillet, that Huddersfield player who was booked in the first half went on to make at least another 4 bookable offences. I could go on and on.
****ing shocking ****.
Well that's part of the job and clearly he's not up to it... so when you are pretty inept at your job you will of course attract negative attention for your poor performances. However, it is the Leagues fault I guess, not his, for continuing to allow him to referee in the EPL.Quote:

Giving the ball to their keeper while he stopped play while we were in possession - again he is not applying the rules.
Even for their pen, he was so quick to give it without discussing it with the Linesman. But then change his mind after giving it stinks of incompetence.
All through the game though he was getting even the smallest things wrong, throw-ins and fouls.
Just awful.
