Fer mocked on Twitter after QPR defeat

QPR midfielder Leroy Fer

Leroy Fer’s injury-time handball at Middlesbrough prompted plenty of reaction from fans on Twitter.

The QPR midfielder was sent off and Grant Leadbitter scored with the resulting penalty to give his side all three points.

Some Rangers fans vented their frustration at Fer, while others – including Boro fans and supporters of his former club Norwich – took the opportunity to poke fun at him.

However, many Rangers fans were quick to defend the Dutchman, who was also praised by stand-in boss Kevin Blackwell after the match.
