Neil Warnock:
'He took it well, didn't he?!' Neil Warnock jokes about Jazz Richards' own goal after Cardiff City defeat to QPR
Neil Warnock bemoaned his side's misfortune after Cardiff City's defeat to Queens Park Rangers, but enjoyed a joke about Jazz Richards' unlucky own goal.
Richards deflected the ball beyond Allan McGregor after blocking Matt Smith's header to hand Rangers a late winner.
Yeni Ngbakoto had earlier cancelled out Sol Bamba's powerful header to level the scores.
But Warnock wasn't too harsh on Richards despite the telling error that meant the Bluebirds went back down the M4 empty-handed.
"He took it well didn't he?" joked the Cardiff boss when asked about Richards' own goal.
"Swivelled and put it in the top corner! I don't think Smith was going to score, was he?
"It was going miles wide but that's unfortunate isn't it?"
Warnock also berated inexperienced referee Darren England - officiating his first game at Championship level.
The Cardiff boss felt the referee got several crucial decisions wrong, one that crucially led to Ngbakoto's free kick, which McGregor parried away for the decisive corner.
"It was the young referee's first game in charge and I was a bit disappointed really in that situation," he added.
"When you're one goal up, cruising, to give them a chance like that...
"The ref got conned to give away a free-kick for the second goal.
Warnock was not happy with the officials
"Rallsy doesn't touch him, the kid gives and he (the referee) gives a free-kick and they score from it. "
