Neil Warnock slams Armand Traore for his red card in QPR’s 1-1 draw against Aston Villa – EPL News
Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 manager Neil Warnock has labelled Armand Traore a ‘disgrace’ and has slammed the left-back for getting red carded in the 1-1 draw against Aston Villa at Loftus Park.
Traore, who joined the Rangers from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 in the summers, came under fire as his sending off hugely affected the result against Villa. The former Arsenal defender gave away a penalty midway through the second half and was shown yellow card for fouling

The Senegalese international was given his marching orders when he fouled Agbonlahor yet again inside his own half. Warnock expressed his disappointment over Traore’s carelessness, as the hosts were still searching for an equaliser.
The Rangers manager has labelled Frenchman’s sending off as disgrace and has revealed that the defender would be fined for his actions.
The former Sheffield United manager told the reporters, “I thought it was a disgrace – not the referee, the player, and I’ll fine him as much as I can.”
The QPR boss also revealed that he had a meeting with Traore in the tunnel and has asserted that the Frenchman was ashamed of actions.
“I told him to his face 'you've let me down and you've let the team down'."I pulled him back in the tunnel to tell him what a disgrace he was. I think he understood what I was saying,” Warnock added.
Moreover, the tactician is confident that the Frenchman will learn from his mistakes and is hopeful that the defender will not repeat such mistakes again.
“It’s not clever at all. He’s a young lad, and he’s obviously got a lot to learn, but he’s become a very good player. I think he’ll learn from this experience,” Neil Warnock concluded.
Armand Traore, who has featured twice for the West London club so far this season, will miss QPR’s next Premier League fixture against Fulham at Craven Cottage.
After winning a point against Aston Villa, QPR are currently placed 10th in the league standings with eight points from six matches.
