I like Mr Hooper as a ref, always been fairly impressed with him in the Fulham games he's done (apart from one blip when he sent off Kalas after 30 seconds at Reading, a horrible decision, but we're all allowed a mistake!)
Agree with nearly all you've said there BMB after seeing brief highlights on Sky.  But I thought Mings' lunge for the penalty was a clear red card.  He's flown in two footed, at full force with both feet off the floor.  Clear red. I don't know if he's got away with it because it was in the area, and tackles like that are unusual in the box, and Mr Hooper has been taken off guard, given the penalty, and not taken into account the ferocity of the actual tackle.  Would be interested in the views of others who've seen it?
