HUGHES: RED CARD WAS WRONG
Posted on: Sun 08 Apr 2012
Mark Hughes was left seething after a disputed penalty - and subsequent straight red card for Shaun Derry - ultimately put pay to QPR's chances in their 2-0 reverse at Manchester United.
United were awarded a 15th-minute spot-kick after Ashley Young went down under minimal contact from Derry, before referee Mr Mason sent the stand-in skipper off.
Wayne Rooney converted the resultant penalty, before Paul Scholes doubled the hosts' advantage in the second half.
Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, Hughes said: "We're desperately disappointed by the performance of the referee - not only on that decision, but for the majority of the game, to be honest.
"His assistant didn't have the opportunity to put his flag up, because the penalty had already been given.
"It's clear to everyone that the initial run was offside. Having seen the challenge, there's minimal contact. The boy's gone over too easily and the referee's bought it, unfortunately.
"It's difficult. I'm not here to castigate the referee, but all we want is for the referees and officials to get big decisions right."
Hughes continued: "In terms of competition, we couldn't affect the game.
"We were conscious of the fact that we couldn't afford to concede a shed load of goals.
"That's going to be key for us. We were of the view that we had a real challenge here not to go under.
"I was really pleased and proud of my players. They didn't allow that to happen.
"I've been part of United teams that have brushed others aside and scored avalanches of goals because they've capitulated, but we didn't do that today.
"I'm really pleased with what we produced, albeit it was over as a contest after 15 minutes."
Hughes opted to rest Joey Barton and Bobby Zamora and was quick to explain his rationale, adding: "Bobby wasn't right today. He's been struggling with a virus all week.
"I could have possibly given him an hour at 70 per-cent today, but that might have compromised him for Wednesday (against Swansea City). As we stand, he'll be ready.
"We also couldn't afford to lose Joey to a two-game suspension, which is what would have happened if he'd have got booked today.
"We'll have fresh legs now for Wednesday.
"We've got three home games and games away that we hope to get something out of.
"The home games will be key for us, because we're playing exceptionally well at Loftus Road.
"If we can get maximum points from the home games, and some on our travels, then hopefully that will be enough." |
