Watch QPR's Sandro get sent off for grabbing opponent by the THROAT during Under-21 clash 19:26, 24 February 2015 By James Whaling The incident was reminiscent of Nemanja Matic's dismissal for Chelsea against Burnley on Saturday, when he lashed out at Ashley Barnes 315 Shares Watch next Watch the world's greatest ping pong shot ยป Watch this video again Watch Next QPR midfielder Sandro was sent off for the club's Under-21s - after reacting angrily to being fouled by a young Bristol City player. The former Spurs man got up from the challenge and seemed to push the defender in the throat with both hands, before receiving his marching orders from the referee. The challenge was reminsicent of the incident involving Nemanja Matic during Chelsea's draw with Burnley on Saturday. Matic lost his cool after being dangerously tackled by the Clarets' Ashley Barnes, and was sent off by Martin Atkinson. The FA have since reduced the ban to just two games, however, Chelsea say the still find the decision 'appalling'. Rs captain Joey Barton was dismissed on Saturday also for an incident involving Tom Huddlestone with suggestions abound he may lose the club captaincy as a result.
video did not make the leap to the thread go to the mirror site cant believe 20% in the poll thought he didn't deserve to be sent off
Disappointing behaviour. The player he pushed down was probably a lot younger than him. The guy's tackle was really bad and could have been dangerous, but there's no excuse for getting that wound up and not controlling yourself, especially in a somewhat unimportant match like that.
Looks like the "Big I Am" was brought down by a kid and this dented the poor diddums' ego. Better put the young upstart in his place, eh? Sounds like just the sort of chap you want by your side during the run-in to the end of the season when you're looking for cool heads and reliable team-mates, dunnit?
Maybe you want to stop under 18' s participating in U21 football, martial arts, and other contact sports then? There's a 15 year old Norwegian just joined Real Madrid and he's played for Norway's national team. He cannot expect different treatment from the opposition because he is 15 and not 35.
I think he can expect different treatment in so far as young people up to the age of 18 will come under CP while at the club or in education. Hitting an adult is one thing but hitting a child something quite different and no doubt they have considered this. It will have to be considered if any further action should be taken. When parents shout and swear at a 16 year old referee on Sunday mornings they should also bear this in mind.
Although the lad did get the ball it wasn't a pretty tackle and the follow through was pretty bad with what looks like feet off the ground, although he shouldn't be raising his hands all he has really done is push him over, considering he has just been out injured for ages it's not really surprising that he was upset at such a tackle in a friendly game, could easily got a broken leg out of it!!
maybe we just don't want anyone whetever the age attacked on a football pitch he is meant to be a professional ffs
And you thought Joey was bad! The sooner we get rid of this jerk the better. Another old pal that Harry stitched us up with.
I disagree with this completely, i think he'll prove his worth over the next three games... He just needs a decent run in the team.
