QPR's Redknapp admits Zamora red card was 'clumsy'

QPR manager Harry Redknapp had to agree with the sending off decision of striker Bobby Zamora on Sunday.

The former Fulham man was shown a straight red card for a high challenge on Jordi Gomez in the 21st minute of the 1-1 draw at Loftus Road and although Redknapp knows it was not a nasty effort, he did feel the correct decision was made.

"I think it looked like a red card. Bobby's not a malicious player but it was a clumsy challenge," Redknapp told Sky Sports.

"His foot was high and it was a reckless challenge. It is not like Bobby to do things like that, he is normally very level-headed.

"Nobody is more sorry than Bobby.

"We would have beaten them today with 11 men, I am sure of that, but even with ten we should have won.

"Then you are down to ten men against a team that likes to pass the ball, but I thought we always looked more threatening."
