Leicester 2-2 Coventry – Lee Mason Don’t Come Back

After yesterday’s turn of events, Leicester would definitely feel hard done by. What gets me is the referee for the Leicester v Coventry game, is meant to be Premier League quality, well you can laugh that one off straight away.

Lee Mason and his so called friends had a shocker of a game, and Leicester fans including me will feel he was bias towards them(Coventry). Booking Paul Gallagher for kicking the ball away for starters, was just a disgrace did he do it on purpose of course he didn’t. Why would teams want to waste time in the middle of the first half? Maybe towards the end of the game would have been fair, but in the middle of the first half with no intentions of doing it deliberately is beyond a joke.

Then we come to Leicester’s headed goal, was it over the line I couldn’t see from where I was sitting, however if it wasn’t the Leicester fans will not be complaining because it was awarded to them, I am not complaining but if it didn’t go fully over the line that is another incident which shows us why we need goaline technology.

Now to Lee Mason and his very few bookings of Coventry players, when you raise your hands to a player’s chest or face you should be clearly booked or even sent-off. However that wasn’t the case with Clinton Morrison, the frustrated Coventry man raised his hands to Leicester midfielder Richie Wellens but Lee Mason refused to show a card of some sort, rules oblige that as a carded offence.

The grabbing of players shirts in another thing which referee Lee Mason got clearly wrong. The Coventry defence were pulling on ‘Foxes’ striker Martyn Waghorn all day long, and yet he penalized Waghorn for backing in. That’s what linesman are there for, to correct decisions for the referee’s if they were incidentally wrong. From my point of view the Coventry players pulled Waghorn down, pushing him in the back, but yet again the ‘Sky Blues’ get awarded a free-kick.

Lastly the Coventry equaliser was it offside clearly YES. The Leicester players ran out to clear the box, leaving the Coventry players behind. In some cases a strayed player can keep all the opposition players onside, but that wasn’t the case in the game against Leicester and Coventry. Two players both intervening with play were offside therefore, no goal should be awarded but the linesman didn’t see it that way, so therefore he decided to give the goal to Coventry.

Lee Mason and his officials, please don’t come back to the Walkers Stadium ever again.
