QPR manager Mark Hughes believes that Tottenham’s winner should not have stood and criticised referee, Phil Dowd, for failing to penalise Spurs in the build up.

After Alejandro Faurlin’s own goal cancelled out Bobby Zamora’s opener, Jermain Defoe fired home to give the north London club the win over the early season strugglers but the R’s boss felt that there were two fouls in the build up.

“For the second we are very disappointed with the referee,” he added.

“In the build up, there was a clear foul on Esteban Granero then an even more blatant foul on Nedum Onuoha.

“As he is running back towards his goal he gets taken out, but the referee didn’t think it even warranted a free kick.”

 

I thought it was a bit odd that more wasn't made of it at the time.

 

100% right Granero was fouled and so was NO in fact he was completely taken out ... It matters not now and IMO nothing to moan about re our team. The Granero threads are very fickle trying to blame him in fact any nit picking is again completely fickle.
In life you will never never achieve anything with this attitude.
I pledge to ensure that I comment on such negativity ... Some people on the don't know they have been born
The best performance for 18 years by a QPR team and no one as of yet has offered another game. Last season there was Arsenal and Spurs and City at home yet none of these are close as they ... So why oh why do we scratch around for negatives?
Infected is the only answer I can think of . The fan base on here at times is slipping

 

Tried to make this point in two different posts last night, but no one seemed to pick up on it.

It wasn't Granero who was fouled. Think it was Onouha in an off the ball incident at the half way line while chasing back. Certain free kick, 100%.

 

Arsenal and Spurs at home last year brought 3 points. We need points!

 

Didn't they bring six points?

 

What about the penalty we weren't given for Gallas clearly barging Zamora in the back?

 

Yes, true. But those ones are rarely given as the referee would be swarmed after that. We all know how they don't like pressure.

 

if we had taken out chances it wouldnt have mattered!..

 

But we didn't and it did
