Fer mocked on Twitter after QPR defeat
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.
Gutted by that result. Can’t blame @LeroyFer10 I would have done the same. 🖐 — Bognor Hoop (@RussTheHoop) November 20, 2015
Chin up @QPRFC @LeroyFer10 felt we played well, as a unit, positives to take.

I see some fans slagging off Leroy Fer. If Green had saved it, he would’ve been hero like Gary O’Neil in the play-off final. #QPR — Yousef Marafi® (@Yousef_QPR) November 20, 2015
Not gonna blame @LeroyFer10 we’ll get better #positivetweet #QPR

@superhoopsaQPR @LeroyFer10 if we keep playing like that with Austin we will be ok No blame on Leroy he had a great game — janet (@janetkeir) November 20, 2015
Unlucky @LeroyFer10 don’t feel blamed come back and prove yourself after suspension
