Mason replaced by John Brooks today for Liverpool game, apparently picked up an injury yesterday
Did I not hear somewhere that Lee was accidentally bowled over early in the game at WBA and it was thought that this might have affected his confidence and performance? I didn't see the collision on MOTD or evidence during the game that he was hurt, but perhaps he really is injured rather than using injury as an excuse to step aside today.

He cetainly was bowled over by Gallagher who really clattered him. He got up quickly and shared a laugh with the offending player because it was a pure accident. It certainly would have shook him up, however, I can't comment on whether or not this affected anything else, only Lee can answer that question. I would not be surprised if he did sustain an injury which manifested itself later in the game because he really was sent flying.

I thought at the time that it was a good job that he was not a player because he would probably have been rolllling around, holding his head etc., etc. ad nauseam. He just got up and carried on.
Referee's decision used to be final!
