Just wanted to say in amongst all the glee that every referee will make an inexplicably shocking decision at some point - Poll with the 3 yellows, Marriner with the Gibbs red card etc etc.
It was clearly a howler and I am sure he will get punished for it, but I think Mason, although not one of my favourite referees, has had a fairly steady few seasons without too much controversy. OK, he's rarely given the most highly charged fixtures but I can't think of a major mistake he's made of this magnitude for several years.
By all means criticise his performance today, but gloating over what it means for his career seems unedifying to me.
He made a major error just 4 weeks ago by not giving a penalty when Matty Cash made one of the clearest handballs you will ever see. He then followed it up 4 days later with a recommendation whilst on VAR duty that Bednarek should be sent off for something that wasn't even a foul, let alone a red card challenge.
And that's without mentioning his shambles at Sheffield Wednesday last Saturday which makes it four major errors in a single month.
Nuno was right, he's not good enough.
