How many qpr red cards

Adel Taarabt believes Queens Park Rangers would not be in the relegation zone if they had not thrown away points this season because of their poor disciplinary record. Despite significant investment from their billionaire owner, Tony Fernandes, QPR are in serious danger of being relegated to the Championship 12 months after their return to the top flight.

With eight tough fixtures to play, Rangers sit 18th in the Premier League , one place and one point from safety, and their predicament can partly be explained by a disciplinary record, which shows they have picked up six red cards and 43 yellows this season.

The only time Mark Hughes's side have salvaged something from a game when they had a player sent off was against Aston Villa, when they drew thanks to a last-minute own goal from Richard Dunne. Rangers have lost to Sunderland, Fulham, Norwich, and relegation rivals Wolves and Bolton when they have had players dismissed, something which clearly disappoints the Moroccan midfielder Taarabt.

We should have won these games, but with 10 men it is difficult. Taarabt, who is back in the team after falling out of favour under the previous manager, Neil Warnock, knows the odds are against his club surviving the drop. Africa Cup of Nations.

Diaby has shown he has the potential to fill that role but hes far too injury prone. Yea, as an Arsenal fan I can see your point. I wish we had a proper combative midfielder to break up the opposition play and captain the team properly. Still, I wouldn't want Cattermole at my club. Someone more in the Makelele or Essien mould please!

I'm a Sunderland fan and its no surprise to see Cattermole in there!! Although I do like having him in the team as he gets the best out of our other players, great commitment! Yeah i thought it'd increase simply cos a lot more offenses are considered a Red card now compared to before.

True, i'd still prefer an absolute out and out dirty bastard on the pitch, to put fear into the opposition ;. I doubt I could give any more than the stats for those players, if those can even be found. CCahill, I had the same thought about the total red card numbers.

I would have thought that with Cattermole and Barton kicking the league to pieces we might have had more reds, yet it was almost exactly the same. You're right about the "DM" role back then. Every team had their enforcer, so they were bound to get more cards. Nowadays it's a bit more of a collective effort.

Richard, if Balotelli can do that against Arsenal, he can do it against others. I've seen him make horrendous tackles in other games for sure. I can't remember the specific instances though. That's why Ashley Cole is so good. Winning the ball skillfully rather than going to ground is what the best Spanish players do. It's what makes Mikel Arteta such a great defensive midfielder for Arsenal. He has the best stats for that position in the league last I checked.

I guess you could say players like Lebouef came to England because they thought they could get away with more. Or maybe they were bought for their toughness. Pepe and Ramos would have probably come to England back then. Keane and Vierra played unmistakably important roles, their brutality on the pitch allowed the others to play gracefull Football.

I think to be fair a lot of these players sure, they arent as technically gifted as Mario but they have a better understanding of the game and in a lot of instance, they picked up their cards, performing their function on the pitch rather than petty petulance like Balotelli.

Well, look at Sergio Ramos and Pepe. Hard defenders, find it tough everywhere today, regardless. I think this is why Ashley Cole is so great a defender, he is a hard defender but tends to do it with skill most of the time. Thanks for commenting Richard. I agree that Balotelli is more of an immature dummy than a malicious thug. However, when he was sent off against Arsenal, he made enough horrendous tackles to be sent off twice. His high foot on Song could have broken the guy's leg easily.

I can't remember his other reds so clearly, but the Arsenal match told me that Balotelli could quite easily end a player's career. Yea, imagine Vinnie Jones in today's matches. He's be sent off every game! It's better that it's softer. For one, it means we can compete in Europe without our players being sent off all the time. Although, having said that, players like Quedrue and Leboeuf found it difficult in England because their tackles were seen as red card offenses, so I'm not sure it's so simple.

Perhaps there was some subtle racism from refs in the 90's. Balotelli is far more talented than all these players. And some of his reds are for his youthful exuberance.

He is still a kid. If you use an age gap then Balotelli isn't in the list. But, it must be said, there was a time, football was a little rougher. A lot of yellows and red cards today wouldn't have been given when most of these players started on their path. The Premier league era has changed the money and the officiating of the game to be more softer, toward skills and not letting strong players rough up others.
