GAMBLOG UK - WE ARE QPR - QPR V China Ends In A Pitch Battle

It is clear by the vide the Chinese player saw fit to throw a jumping side-kick at the QPR player.

The flying side-kick was made off of the front foot, not the rear. To produce a leading leg flying side-kick, on must be a proficient martial artist. My guess is the fight-starter is a black belt in the minimum.

A charge of assault with intent, or assault with a deadly weapon is a possibilty.

It took 2 QPR players to down the offender, who threw rapid fire multiple head shots in the process.

Paladini is talking of QPR players getting the sack. If that happens, in my opinion, it will be an opportunist strike to rid QPR of some more QPR players out of the rotating door that is QPR FC at the moment.
