Derry didn't even know Taarabt was sent off

[The Moroccan]

QPR defender Nedum Onuoha said: “The funniest thing was at the end of the game Shaun Derry didn’t even realise we were down to 10 men! I don’t know whether that says he was a bit spaced out or that it was just the same as usual for us because we always have to work so hard.

Derry is showing signs of old-age now for sure!

[bushcelt1]

ric told me this story when we was having a natter earlier-apparently derry was so focused he never coped that adel was sent off!!! says a lot about the way the team are now in the zone.

As long as he notices the ball I say we play him.

[Yousef]

This a sign of how much focused the team is

reverse of the OT scenario with my dad - we were on the journey back and i said "2-0 wasn't a bad result...i mean to play with 10men for nearly the whole game"...."10 men?! who was sent off?! I didn't even see it!"

Chris Kamara springs to mind!

[blue and white]

the reason most likely was he never got shown the red as it was two yellows and the ref did not realise he had given two

[80sCasual]

He has also just been told he was sent off at OT, apparently he thought he was on holiday.

Derry thought QPR had 11 men

Nedum Onuoha has revealed QPR team-mate Shaun Derry did not even realise Adel Taarabt had been sent off in Saturday's win over Spurs.

if you watch the replays Derry goes mental when the ref gives AT his red card, I think its just players way of playing off yet another red card...

True, does sound a bit far fetched, surely the team would have to change their shape, and I would have thought Derry would have been one of the first to hear any instructions re that.

Think Derry might have old timers decease? in some games this year I havent known what he's meant to be doing maybe it's catching

[stainrodisalegend]

sure this wasn't derry having a dig about how little work adel does he hardly noticed him not being there???

[Norths]

Adel put in a shift saturday so cant imagine it being a dig, has upped his workrate of late
