It wasn't that quick, still time to line up the wall.Never known of a ref blowing for a quick free kick to be taken. The ref either says and signals for it to be taken on the whistle (usually after the defending team ask for it to be on the whistle) or the team with the set piece take it quickly at their discretion with no whistle
Yeah and on sky sports news they were saying its because ever keeper wasn't ready.Yea he blew just to take the free kick, that's how it seemed, not entirely a quick one, the ref decided he felt sorry for the keeper after he'd blew to take it and he was still hugging his post... That's how it seemed
What punishment will the ref get? Nothing
Great summary. His biggest error for me was giving the goal. What a banana!!It was an absolute mess from start to finish. I said in a previous post (think it may have been the Swansea ref analysis) that in this situation the “ceremonial” free kick (the referee telling everyone to wait for the whistle) is always “best practice’ for the referee. As with Mason yesterday if you get it wrong it can lead to all sorts of problems for the referee as we saw.
My take on it is that when he blew the whistle (first time) he then spotted that the WBA keeper wasn’t ready when the quick free kick was taken and blew a second time before the ball had entered the net, so the play had been stopped before the ball had entered the net-so no goal. He then got in a right tiswas (easily done when you have 10-12 players around you) and really couldn’t find a way out and obviously had a lapse in concentration.He then gave the goal and was obviously advised through communication to get the free retaken.
It’s happened to us all and best practice and I’m sure Mason (who doesn’t need to be told by the likes of me who are not anywhere near his level) will be going for the “ceremonial” free kick from now on....
He made a mistake-players do it every week but of course everyone will be hanging him out to dry. You are correct though, I can’t see him being on a game for a week or so.Great summary. His biggest error for me was giving the goal. What a banana!!
His punishment will be no premier games for a few weeks. What do you want? Prison sentence?!

Mason has had his day-unfortunately the Premier League has a lot of also rans in it with the likes of Moss/Mason et al. I’m not sure there is that many either that are shining lights to be promoted from the Championship.
They won't though, will just fine him.Fat Sam has hardly surprisingly said it was correct to rule it out I would imagine that he wouldn’t like quick free kicks as they are against his time wasting and spoiling policy. The Lewis Dunk interview after the match was good basically saying the ref should come and talk about it as he has had to.
Dunk did nothing wrong. As Adge says once the game has stopped it should start with a whistle and when everyone is ready. If keeper taking too long book him
Booking goalkeepers is a waste of time as they never get sent off for twice wasting time.
Goalkeepers are too protected, get away with far too much.
I hate how everything they do is so slow and Wilson is one of the worst, goal kicks take nearly a minute, and I am not sure if they are still supposed to get rid of the ball in six seconds but it normally takes them twenty to thirty seconds.
The free kick was good quick thinking and if a Messi or Ronaldo type had done it they would be saying genius.
Yeah exactly, I have seen people banging on about bad sportsmanship because the keeper wasn't ready.
Soft.
