Difference is though, that Mason's an established 'long outed' rag
pavelsrnicek said:He had a long run without reffing us, during which time he was down to ref us a couple of times but was pulled at the last minute. He has reffed us 3 times in the last 2 seasons, was snidely accused of bias in our favour by Rodgers at home to Liverpool, sent Vinny off at Hull and missed a stonewall penalty on Yaya at home to Stoke.
He is a pretty poor ref with questionable allegiances but we haven't done too badly recently. Probably means we're in for a shocker at Stoke.

The 'bias' against Liverpool was perpetrated by the linesman IIRC

Ric said:A few dubious calls either way, but nowhere near as bad as he has been when reffing us in the past. As with Clattenburg a few weeks ago, I'm all for slating them when they're bad but they deserve credit when they're OK. Still hate him, mind you.

I don't think he had a great game. He just didn't shit on us as much as usual. FWIW I think Silva dived for the penalty, but I am not complaining.

I'll give him a pass as well but wasn't impressed with his decision to book Kun for the handball - it looked unintentional to me.super_city_si said:Mason could easily have put us in the shit with the milner handball decision. I was very surprised he didn't. Not saying it was a Penalty as I think it hit his thigh first but a twat like Mason could easily have given it.
He gets a pass from me for tonight's performance.
