Bit of a strawman that tbf mate.

Yet its a story that would have made a journalists career if one of them had run with it at a time when it was certainly common knowledge.

It went years without reporting for many reasons but it not being true wasn't one of them and that's my point.

Off the top of my head, our third against Arsenal when Silva was offside?

and since then ther have been several potential leg breakers against us not given, perhaps you'd like to point out similarities for other teams?

Or does the debatable offside Silva goal equal out a line and call for a ball going out noted from forty metres out whilst the ball was ten metres in the air, completely fair assessment that disallowed a goal.

True, but I don’t think he would’ve known either way so he was always going to take his linesman’s word for it. You can only overrule him if you’re certain he was wrong, and I doubt Mason would’ve known that.

I admire your stance here Ric, but no matter what the reasons are, that goal should stand, even if Sane was in an offside position, because under the current rules Sane is entitled to be there, and he made no attempt to go near the ball, and Mason knew that, which was why he originally gave the goal. He wanted a reason not to give it, to keep a big game for the TV broadcasters and sponsors open, so for me he went over to make it look like he'd taken advice. The replays show Sane is not offside anyway, so it should be a goal, and annoyingly one of our best goals of the season will never be counted.

As for the rest of Mason's performance, well you can view it however you want, but at the very best it was incompetent, and if not its something else, which most football fans don't want to believe happens, even though deep down we know it does, as Halsey and Clattenburg have both confirmed recently.

The good thing is now, 90% of the time they can try and stop us with decisions, but we're too good, so rather than let them spoil it for me, I'm going to take every win we get, when clearly there were efforts to stop us winning today as a bigger success, and I'll be sticking the 2 fingers up to it all, and continue to enjoy what we are doing.

When officials with certain known allegiances (Mason and Taylor in particular) are stopped from being involved in games that could involve the team they have an allegiance too, then I will know there is nothing sinister going on, until then I won't.

He wasn't.

Replay shows he was onside and the keeper had a direct line of sight to Bernado and the shot.

Again, the fact he goes to speak to the lino is the tell here as normally its a free kick and get on with it.

It stinks im afraid.

The replay I saw, he was close enough to the ball to be judged as interfering with play (or at least, it could be viewed as that), he runs directly across the sight line just after the shot is hit.

You can see it on this pic here - https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.sp...llowed-goal-against-cardiff-20180128.amp.html

I thought the bad call was the offside decision in the first place

Think the ref decided he was in the keepers eye line

Must have been after he'd originally given the goal then yes?

I'm not trying to be argumentative her with you mate but what happened today surrounding that goal was complete and utter nonsense form both mason and his linesman.
