PLUS! The best Chris Hoy jokes after cyclist mistaken for ref Chris Foy
The confusing situation was concisely surmised in this tweet:
@Along_came_lulu Today's Chelsea game was refereed by Chris Foy. Chelsea fans think he could have done a better job but have the wrong man

Chelsea contrived to lose 1-0 at Villa Park on Saturday, thanks in no small part to a disallowed goal, two red cards and manager Mourinho sent to the stands.
Many supporters that were angry and wanted blood, some presumably just fancied a bit of fun and all gleefully contributed to the Chris Hoy abuse on Twitter:
Very angry , disgusting performance by Chris Hoy , is it any surprise he is a scouser ????

Ramires red is correct but bit on the whole Chris Hoy was fucking abysmal.

We were rubbish but Chris Hoy is a diabolical referee!
— Dean Cross (@deancross_1987) March 15, 2014
Its about time someone in the FA has a serious look at Chris Hoy refereeing. To send off Willian was ridiculous in the extreme.
— John Swinburn (@trueblue1949) March 15, 2014
Quick fact, Chris Hoy has given out 7 red card in 8 games against us
— WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? (@ScottGuyatt1) March 15, 2014
Such a big match to be screwed out of. If City win their 3 in hand they’ll be 3 points ahead of us, brilliant. Fuck you Chris Hoy.
— Blue Lion Army (@BlueLionArmy) March 15, 2014
6 red cards in 8 games. Let that sink in. If Chris Hoy doesn’t like the physicality of the premier league he can fuck off to La Liga.
