Yup, boot was definately off, not sure if in the moment he meant to kick it at the linesman, or just got unlucky.
Not quite sure what happened earlier, I saw a replay of Jerome being next to a guy who threw himself to the floor(same one that got sent off I think), I saw a few replays I couldn't see any obvious contact and I think Jerome got sent off for an elbow there?
Also, have Stoke had to widen and lengthen the pitch for Europa league regulations or something, whats with the second set of pitch chalk lines, that have been really badly covered up?
