QPR director Gnanalingam facing heat over loose tweet

QPR could face sanction over an apparent Twitter remark from director Emir Gnanalingam.

The message, which was swiftly deleted, is reported to have hit out at the referee being "biased and blind".

A fresh Twitter message has since appeared from Gnanalingam, a Malaysian businessman who joined the board in August following Tony Fernandes' takeover, saying simply: "EPL should consider video evidence for red cards. The 4th official is there and can communicate with ref immediately."

In September, the FA wrote to QPR owner Fernandes for Tweeting "this referee is blind" when Michael Oliver failed to award a penalty against Aston Villa despite a clear handball by defender Alan Hutton.

QPR will be contacted again in writing by the governing body for their observations over this latest transgression.
