FA ‘joint hunt for QPR coin thrower’

An incident in which a linesman was apparently struck by an object thrown from the crowd at Loftus Road on Saturday has been included in referee Mike Dean’s report, the Daily Mail say.

That would mean an FA probe into the matter, which could result in QPR facing a charge.

Play was briefly stopped during Rangers’ 2-1 victory against Arsenal after an object was apparently thrown from the Ellerslie Road stand, although it is believed the offical was struck a number of times during the game.

The Mail say a coin was thrown and that the FA will work with QPR and police to find the fan responsible.
