Just saw Nuno Espirito Santo's rant against Lee Mason. Wow, tough comments. I did not watch the game, but what did Mason do wrong? Apparently Nuno said he did not control the game well and does not have quality at this level to referee in the Premier League.
The Wolves boss added that Mason, who also refereed his side's 1-1 draw with Newcastle in October, "did not have the quality for a Premier League game".
"This is a problem, we know we had Lee Mason before," he told Sky Sports. "It is not about the crucial mistake or decisions, it is about how he handles the game.
"The players get nervous, he whistles from the noises from the players. We are talking about the best competition but he does not have the quality to whistle the game.
"I just don't want to see him more, I told him I hope he does not whistle a game of ours again. He cannot control the players, the players are constantly arguing. The other referees let the game flow."
ouch
