On the whole biased ref shall we just ignore the fact Hoare was given a yellow for an elbow to Picos head? Or does that ruin the narrative? Or did he deserve it because he, or some other rovers player, probably did something similar at some point in their life?
You sure it wasnt the shadow of an elbow?
Give your head a shake there RH - can you point out who has made any claim about biased refereeing?
If Hoare or any other player intentionally elbowed another player in the head, it's a straight red card offence irrespective of who has done it previously or if Pico Lopes is known for on -pitch GBH (is that GBH just a UK thing?)
What do you think Hoare got booked for in the last play? He got booked after Lopes went down holding his head, everyone in that corner of the ground saw it (listen to TFTES).If Hoare or any other player intentionally elbowed another player in the head, it's a straight red card offence irrespective of who has done it previously or if Pico Lopes is known for on -pitch GBH (is that GBH just a UK thing?)
The fact he got any card and Lopes didn't means the ref saw him do something to strike Lopes because any other infringement is either no booking or both players booked.
