And who believes this excuse?

Given that the most physically demanding thing a fourth official does is hold up the injury time board, no.

I suspect what is injured is his pride!

Lee mason looks like London Irish

 

[jonny.rainbow]

He was noticeably limping during the second half yesterday.

Should step down entirely from Premier League games. People saying "we all make mistakes" are forgetting countless other poor decisions this man has made this season.

Most notably the Soucek sending off recently.

Didnt notice that, might actually be true then. Maybe Billy had a visit in the ref dressing room at half time... or perhaps more likely the ref felt a bit embarrassed and perhaps want a bit of a break. Or he's just injured.

They are also the backup ref if the head ref gets sick/injured, so they need to be fit.

I hate the way referees are protected, the blazers have absolutley no balls whatsoever.
Lee Mason should be flogged.

Yep. Warren noted it in the commentary on the radio.

And take over from the ref if he gets injured.

Are they going to remove that whistle from that was inserted into his rectum yesterday

 

[Weststander]

He’s lying.

Instead, Mason’s out for a celebratory meal with the Allardyce’s.

 

[Gabbafella]

I'm calling bullshit. The guy has either asked to be accused or has been told to take a break. Either way, the lack of accountability for these idiots and their game ruining decisions needs to be looked at.

He should be ducked in Falmer pond, in front of a non-partisan audience of NSC members. This is how we used to treat witches. If they drowned, it proved they were a witch, and if they didn't drown, it proved that further ducking was required. Sounds fair to me.

Is deflated ego an actual injury then?

 

[Guinness Boy]

Just been listening to the 5 live commentary of the Spurs game whilst doing some household chores. Every time there's a free kick the incident yesterday comes up on commentary. Mason has lost the respect of the footballing world and I suggest his "injury" will last a while.

 

[Charity Shield 1910]

Can Maupay and Connolly step down as our centre forwards for the next few games as well?

 

[bluenitsuj]

He is not injured. He is just a ****

 

[Acker79]

Back in the game as the fourth official for the Newcastle/Tottenham game.

Lucky fellow.

Hopefully he’s done some reading up of the laws and a bit of fitness work during his absence.

 

[banjo]

I hope he’s got a new pea for his whistle.
