Damion Stewart will miss the final game of the season against West Brom after his appeal against the red card he received at Norwich was rejected
Well, I'm sure most would have seen it by now and are just as baffled as everyone inside Carrow Road on Saturday. But after an unsuccessful appeal by QPR, Damion Stewart now faces a two match suspension, starting in this Sunday's finale against West Brom at Loftus Road.
Clive's description of the incident in the Norwich match report sums it up perefectly...
'QPR allowed the ball to bounce and with Ched Evans lurking Lee Camp came tearing out of his area when he had no need to. Damion Stewart stuck an arm in the back of Evans and pushed him into Camp creating a tangle on the edge of the area that saw the ball roll safely away from goal as the loan Man City front man hit the deck. Referee Phil Joslin was quickly on the scene to award a free kick and after a brief exchange of hand actions with the linesman they decided that Stewart was the guilty party and should be sent off. From where I was sitting it looked like Camp was the one who should be sampling the early bath water, and Reece Crowther was stripped and ready for action on the touchline so clearly I wasn’t alone.'
Damion will also miss the opening game of next season as a result of his sending off versus Colchester, earlier this season.
