I thought this thread would put bums on seats, but so far not many people seem bothered about it 
Bizarrely, because of the appeal process, he's still available for selection. Really odd one and it'll be interesting to see whether QPR actually play him or show some morals.

It's the title mate, you don't have clickbait capabilities.

... 'Key player jailed, misses vital games?'
Queens Park Rangers have responded to claims that forward Ilias Chair has been sent to prison after he was allegedly found guilty of breaking a truck driver's skull with a rock.
Chair, 26, was reportedly sentenced him to a year in jail, with a further 12 months suspended, on Friday morning at a court in his hometown of Antwerp. The Belgian-born Morocco international is also said to have been ordered to pay his alleged victim £13,400 compensation for their injuries.
Championship strugglers QPR said: "The club are, and have been, in regular contact with Ilias Chair's legal team regarding a charge of assault which has been made against him. The legal proceeding is yet to reach its conclusion. As such, the club will be making no further comment at this stage."
The trial heard that in Bazeilles, northern France, during the summer of 2020, Chair, his brother, Jaber, and their friends got into an argument with the truck driver. They and the driver, who has been named as Niels T, had been waiting for a bus back to Belgium following a kayaking trip.
In January, Antwerp's public prosecutor told a hearing: "According to many people involved, Ilias Chair lashed out at Niels T with a stone and knocked him unconscious. The consequences were dramatic for Niels T.
"He suffered a severe skull fracture, two centimetres long, and was taken to hospital at Reims in critical condition. Afterwards he had to recover for a long time in a Belgian hospital, and could not do his job as a lorry driver for a long time. The blow was almost fatal for him, and he still feels the after-effects."
The lawyer for Niels T said: "My client almost lost his life, and it took surgeons to save him. He was unable to work for a long time, and still suffers adverse reactions every day to having been hit with a rock."
Chair has continued to feature for QPR and scored a winning goal for them on Saturday, as Marti Cifuentes' side beat Bristol City 1-0 away from home. The London club are still in the Championship relegation zone, one point from safety with 13 games remaining.

He tried to headbutt Gooch, managed to avoid a red card and then scored the following freekick and then took the corner which their Keeper scored the last minute equaliser.
He was behind 2 goals for them in 4 mins when he should have seen Red ffs.
I wish that didn't describe the typical experience of being a Sunderland fan. I suppose we need to add a few nasty bastards into the team, keep Luke company.
Luke isn't a nasty bastard though, he's a great lad but he knows how to play the game and wind people up if needs be. This Chair fella sounds like a complete scumbag.
The compensation offered to the victim is a joke btw, that's probably less than a week's wages when the guy was unable to work for the best part of year and is still suffering 4 years down the line? Pathetic decision from the court, that
He's lucky he only got away with a prison sentence. He should have been given the Chair .
.Yeah I know Luke isn't actually a bastard on the pitch, I was just thinking of our team and he was the closest I could think of. Could do with a few more like him.
Theyve appealed his sentence apparently so he's allowed to play until then. Goes to show how many morals QPR have.
