I don't think dropping the shoulder after getting an angle is even close to a foul, that's just getting the guy on your back when you are trying to move forward... so I don't think SVG was trying to gain an advantage with the refs. Theo needs to quiet down though. His comment about Lewis being a 3, fine, that's between the two of them and he was fouled pretty hard. Everything after that was not needed though.
On another note... I've seen the replay of Howard 'hurting his hand' at least 10 times now and I have yet to see any contact made with his hand. Making excuses for his piss performance?
