If it was such a bad decision

Why don't QPR appeal it? Could it be because the offence is "violent conduct" rather than "t**tting an opponent causing actual, proper harm"? Joey Barton's conduct was definitely violent whether or not contact was made with BJ's face. I think that this was the point made by Barton after the Gervinho sending off.

Colin is using the old diversionary tactic routine but even the QPR fans are beginning to realise that their current position is not due to one red card incident. Personally I thought that we would win yesterday even if Barton had stayed on, they looked a disorganised, unhappy bunch of mercenaries.
