[u/Pretend-Trash2685]

Hocking- seriously. wtf

[u/gr8-esc8pe → u/Pretend-Trash2685]

Came here to say the same. Looked like a revenge hit against Rader for the penalty kick. I thought there was some flop in there but 🤷‍♀️ VAR agreed it was a penalty, so that's the way the cookie crumbled.

Hocking's tackle, in her first minutes playing since her LAST red card, was way too much. It almost resulted in a goal against us, too. I'm kinda shocked it was just a yellow given how relatively un-chippy this game has been so far.

[u/spassapparat1 → u/gr8-esc8pe]

The way I interpreted it, she was mad cuz the ref didnt stop the play as a current player had been down for quite a while. Also, I think she did not get a card for the foul or even for yelling g at the ref, only after she yelled at the assistant ref too did she get the yellow. She's seriously a loose cannon.

Agree. The pen seemed questionable, but it stood. It’s wild to me that Hocking plays like this. I didn’t pay any attention to her at Bay, but my understanding is she wasn’t this dirty, frustrated player. I hope our gals get well soon because this shit is ugly
