Fansrock Zone: 5 worst refeering decisions! [Videos]


Referees Lee Mason and Mike Jones will spend this weekend on the nch as fourth officials are getting more wrong than right in the eyes of Premier League chiefs last weekend.

Mason sent off Liverpool Jamie Carragher and Philipp Degen during the 3-1 defeat at Fulham while Jones red-carded Hull’s Geovanni and awarded Burnley a soft penalty during their 2-0 defeat of the Tigers at Turf Moor.
