The ball was nowhere near either of them. Gabriel clearly fouled Haaland before he’d had chance to play the ball.What? Are you seriously saying Haaland didn't challenge for the ball when he was fouled for the penalty award? Haaland and Gabriel were both running towards the ball, trying to take possession of it. What is your understanding of the word challenge, if this incident isn't covered by it?
Scapegoat or pleased to help PGMOL for due consideration?I’m i missing something he made a wrong call on Brentford’s equaliser against arsenal costing arsenal a potential 3 points but not 100% guaranteed,how many mistakes have been made since the introduction of VAR and yet Mason is the first to be relieved of his job over a human error,stinks to fuck if you ask me ..
Ok, thanks for your explanation. We'll have to agree to differ. The law doesn't say anything about distance from the ball when challenging for it, but I accept it has to be a factor. The through ball ran very close to both players, then they both turned to chase it down. To me, they were challenging for the ball, and this would invalidate the clause that was cited earlier.The ball was nowhere near either of them. Gabriel clearly fouled Haaland before he’d had chance to play the ball.
Do I think it should be a penalty? No
Should it be a penalty, as the law currently stands? Yes
To the rules that is still offside, your basing it on the Rashford decision that was wrong.The ball was nowhere near either of them. Gabriel clearly fouled Haaland before he’d had chance to play the ball.

You can only interfere with play by playing the ball.To the rules that is still offside, your basing it on the Rashford decision that was wrong.
How is Haaland not interfering with play
Amazing isnt it, Mason on Var in the 1-1 v Everton and completely missed the penalty on Mahrez but no outrage after or him being dropped, then we had Dipper England on Var 2 games running and he missed an obvious penalty for hand ball v Spurs then one of the most blatant penalty v Wolves when Jack was booted on the back of his leg, no demotion, no media call outs, nothing.
But poor Arsenal, 1 wrong call against them and now he quits and soon forgotten that Brentford has a goal very harshly ruled out in the same game
You mean before the keeper collided with Haaland ;-)The keeper actually fumbled the ball before Haaland collided with him
I think it’s more to do with the fact that he’s VAR and he “forgot” to draw a line which is pretty much what he is there do to. You don’t “forget” to draw a line.
All the other instances you mentioned are still just opinions at the end of the day no matter how bad they were.
And if they investigate him properly, how many wrong decisions had he made while in charge of matches?Mason isn’t out because of one error. He has officially made six incorrect VAR decisions this season.
I don’t know what the current running total is but to put it in context the total number of official incorrect VAR decisions before the World Cup break was also six, across the whole league.
Because that would reveal how much of it is made up on the hoof.Why don't they let us hear the conversations between officials during the game...?
Spot on.I've just watch Arsenal highlights and when Nketiah collides with Ederson and is on the floor, he actually thinks Taylor has given a goal when he points to the penalty spot!! He runs away to celebrate. Not one player appeals for a penalty and are shocked when it's given. There are incidents like this in every match that are never given. Bent as fuck!!! All the commentators with hindsight say penalty correctly given but not one called it at the time. All complicit. I'd love us to win the league more this year than any other just to boil more piss.

If it was 6, I wonder if the other 5 were against us (or other non red teams) and therefore ok and this is the first against a red team?So Mason's made 6 incorrect VAR decisions before he was finally flirted?, 6?..
How is this possible?
This is a man who had access to video, slow motion replays, being able to view them from umpteen angles (unless the game is being played at anfield of course) whilst taking as much time as he wanted to reach the correct outcome.
Taking all this into account, he's still made 6 mistakes ?
What a joke..
Question is, after the second mistake and that's cutting him some very generous slack, why was he still allowed to officiate in the VAR room ?
VAR is the perfect tool, installed to give licence to its operators to assist in manipulating results.
All carried out in plain sight with absolutely no worry of being made accountable..
We saw a perfect example of this at the swamp and anfield recently.
Now we have owners rushing to sell up and officials removing themselves from the game altogether, feels a bit like some heavy shit is about to be released in connection with the whole clusterfuck which could well expose fully what the fcuk has been and still is going on..
Fingers crossed ..!
