Apparently Yakubu was booed yesterday after scoring his first because he high fived Steve Keane
Ridiculous.

Just watching the Everton v Stoke highlights. Lee Mason has put in the worst refereeing performance I've ever seen in my life. He cannot judge even a basic foul. So many today where the player beats the sliding defender to the ball and is brought down. Free kick? No.
Another thing he did really poorly on was fouls from set pieces. Stoke's masterplan from corners and free kicks was to bear hug the Everton player. Fellaini was fouled from pretty much every set piece, Vellios the same. There were two that were absolutely ridiculously blatant and were ignored. First was Fellaini where he was held so tightly by Shawcross that he could barely do anything from a great chance from a header. Appeals to the ref and almost gets booked. Another where Vellios has an easy chance to nod in the equaliser in the second half. He's got two arms around him and as he attempts to jump to nod it in the defender just keeps hold, ending up in a headlock. He then attempts to flick a foot at it and again the bald fool ignores it.
Lee Mason was woeful today and as you rightly say he should've awarded a penalty today but he was nowhere near as bad as we were, we didn't have an attempt on goal all game, we surrended possession time and again and allowed Stoke to push us around, horrible performance (even worse with a hangover!) as bad as Mason was we lost the game not him. However the worst of the lot was Moyes' comments saying we'd dealt with the corner, it'd only been cleared as far as the edge of the box, we hadn't dealt with anything.
