[Albion] Lee Mason at it again

[macbeth]

that was a stonewaller, wasn't it?

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Haven't seen it yet, can't comment.

 

[willalbion]

it surely was except… it wasn’t - bizarre decision.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Worrying that these guys are professionals!

 

[Hamilton]

Howard Webb needs to get rid of a whole load of officials and start again.

It’s not VAR, it’s the people behind VAR who are unaccountable and incapable.

 

[GT49er]

Haven't voted because I haven't seen it - just following the match via Johnny and Warren on the radio - but it seems that the only people who think it wasn't were the two PGMOL members who are stealing a living.

 

[kevo]

Not sure why he didn't ask the ref to look at the screen?

It seems all the incompetant refs just move on to manning VAR. Given how many blatant errors he made in his career, it wasn't exactly a surprise he would get it wrong.

 

[Berty23]

The defender was not close to the ball and he booted Welbeck. It was a stone wall pen. I am staggered it was not given. As they were in the sky sports studio. Rubbish defending. Missed ball. Kicked man hard.

 

[Mr deez]

There is a problem in the rules in that playing advantage is not compatible with VAR only overruling for a clear and obvious error.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Yup, definite penalty

 

[Icy Gull]

Video of the incident?

I missed the start of the second half but interesting that Glenn Murray who was (annoyingly ) very balanced in his commentary had no doubt that it was a penalty

Agree. If the referee is letting the play go on because of giving advantage to the side that was offended then the VAR should be able to give a penalty back if he feels the advantage was not to be given.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Blatant. Absolute joke decision, we were robbed.

 

[kevo]

Highlights now up on Sky. Welbeck clearly kicked. If Mason can't see that. he should be banned.

100% a penalty. One look was enough. It was an obvious on field penalty and an even more obvious VAR penalty referral. It is sometimes unbelievable how wrong they can get it.

One minute 30.

Heck of a header for equaliser and Mitoma is ridiculous.

 

[Seagull58]

Mason is corrupt, retarded or, probably, both.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

It certainly looked like a penalty, I think it probably was. However I saw the replay many times and couldn't conclusively see the defenders foot catch Welbeck. Perhaps hard to overturn on that basis. Most blame here lies with the on pitch ref not giving it I reckon

 

[Justice]

Ex players should be trained and in the VAR room, Murray who wasn’t pro Brighton whatsoever during the game it was a pen.

 

[kevo]

The defender even apologised to Welbs for kicking him.
