REFEREE LEE MASON DROPPED AFTER CCS 'GAFF'

Lee Mason dropped from refereeing this weekend after Huddersfield Town controversy

Penalty U-turn followed by fourth official appearance


Following his controversial decision to perform a U-turn on awarding Huddersfield Town a penalty against Cardiff City, Lee Mason has been dropped from refereeing a Premier League game this weekend.

Cardiff City's Joe Bennett brought down Flo Hadergjonaj, yet when Mason awarded the penalty, he quickly reversed the decision after consulting with his linesman Stuart Burt.


Fans, players and then boss David Wagner were furious at Mason after his display, and the Terriers felt robbed of three points in what was ultimately Wagner's last game in charge.

This weekend Mason has been demoted to fourth official for Manchester United's game with Brighton and Hove Albion, with Paul Tierney the referee at Old Trafford.

Thought he made some good decisions IMHO!

Terrible Ref clueless all game.

Terrible Ref clueless all game.

He made at least ONE good decision, though!

I bet he's cursing the Assistant Refereee!

He should be dropped permanently - awful ref.

Poor display by Mason, he is not alone.
