QPR could face FA action over pitch invasions
QPR could be charged by the Football Association after fans ran onto the pitch at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium following Tuesday’s Carabao Cup win over Everton.
Thirteen people were arrested and are awaiting court dates after being charged with pitch encroachment offences and could face banning orders of up to five years after racing onto the field to celebrate following the conclusion of the dramatic penalty shoot-out victory.
Rangers could also be in hot water after a fan in the Ellerslie Road Stand allegedly hit an assistant referee in the back with a flagstick left in front of the stand by club mascot Jude The Cat.
Play was stopped momentarily in the second half after the incident and referee Kevin Friend included it in his match report, with the man subsequently ejected from the ground by stewards.

The man in question about the flag picked it up and didnt hit the flag man in the back he pointed to the place were the throwin should have been and brushed the lines man leg as he (the linesman) moved up the pitch, silly thing to do but no way was it intentional to hurt the linesman
