:) Lee Mason is to referee Blackpool's Sky Bet League One fixture at home to Accrington Stanley on Saturday.
Mason, who often officiates in the Premier League, last took charge of a Blackpool match in January 2013, which was 1-1 draw at Fulham in the FA Cup.
He will be assisted at Bloomfield Road this weekend by Matt Wilkes and Derek Eaton.
John Brooks will be on fourth official duties.:)
 
Love to have a camera focused on Rob Heys for the entire match. As long as both sides scored, it would be very interesting to see his reactions.
 
Game took a while to get going and Acci shaded the first half,with both teams having chances.
The first thirty minutes of the second half they pinned us back and generally controlled the game.
Eventually they got the goal and could have had another,cue subs by Coley and we wrestled control back of the game and pinned them back.
When Sean missed an open goal you thought it wasn’t going to be our day, that’s not the Acci way and Hughesy rose like a salmon to head the equaliser!!
Dont like singling one player out,but Sykes impressed me.
Few rough edges,got rolled a couple of times,which happens,but what a talent he could turn out to be.
One to watch that’s for sure KTF
 
Sykes impressed me and Id just finished telling someone that he was having a good game, when he got rolled the first time and then nearly killed a donkey with an attempted 40 yard pass. However, they are inexperienced blemishes surpassed by some of his Beckenbauresque upfield adventures.

Two Jonny Smiths I say ...
 
Ive been saying for awhile Sykes is showing real promise, if he keeps working hard then he will play much higher imho to be honest i thought the ref was poor, only Billy Kee booked yet blackpool played like Satanage in the second half, also thought we didn't get what looked to us like a cast iron penalty, yeh Zinzala or Sean should have scored, but yeh gotta be there to miss em.was also impressed with the new lad whose name i cant pronounce thought he had a very good debut, thought our Captain was very poor today.

Thought it was a decent performance from us in the first half. Can remember several chances that were blocked/cleared and went into half time thinking we could get something from the game. Second half we seemed to invite a lot of pressure, Blackpool goal came as no surprise. Decent header from Hughes and a draw was probably a fair result.

Brown had a good first half, thought Ross showed some very good skill and awareness at times. Zanzala seemed to make a difference when he came on. Not convinced by Ihiekwe, didn't seem to find a pass all game, but harsh to judge too much on just one game.

Referee seemed to ignore the deliberate handball by their player to get the ball out of play when he lost a possession and stop a stanley break. Should have been a straight red.

Took girlfriends brother and his wife for their first Stanley experience - they were impressed by the Stanley fans and their constant support, even when going behind. He's a united season ticket holder and is getting sick of the constant moaning at old trafford - might be able to convince them to come to a few more!
