"England player going off like that, dear me. He went straight in and pushed him. Why not give him a red? I don't think you should try to get other pros sent off, just because he's had a poor game and Spurs were having a poor game. He shouldn't take it out on us."
Why does Warnock say stuff like this? It's utterly pathetic and it paints him and his team in a really bad light. Who does he think benefits from this sort of crap? The fact is that Kane did absolutely nothing that would have justified a red card and he didn't try to get Ralls sent off either. Indeed, he was nowhere near the referee when the red card was shown.
Does Warnock bother to watch any replays before he goes wading into his post-match press conferences or does he simply enjoy making himself look foolish? It's a shame, because his pre-match interviews and press conferences are often excellent, but his post-match stuff is embarrassing.
The media simply “pigeon hole” Cardiff football as thugs and boot boys.
We are nothing like that but this (on MOTD) does not put us in a positive light.
The manager should simply say that it was clumsy and a professional foul (that many defenders carry out) but question the straight red card due to the fact that it was on the half way line.

I've not seen a 'boot boy' at a Cardiff City game since the Grange End in approximately '74.
Nice to see a manager sticking up for his players.He is trying to create team spirit.He may also be trying to play mind games with future referees and get into their heads.
He seems to me to be making a us against the world situation and use that to motivate the team. Good luck to him we need to try everything we can. As for the media they were all against us before a ball was kicked this season so who cares.
Warnock knows exactly what he is doing and good for him.What others think of us is of little concern to me.
Chris Kamara stated a red but from a different angle he really only put his leg across him.
One of those I guess that can go either way.
I would appeal based on the different angle seen today.
Does the faw still oversee our appeals.
Pursey got away with one prior to the cup final
The English media have never supported their National manager let alone a Cardiff City one.
It was a cynical tackle that players do to stop play and regroup. No more than a yellow for sure.
Personally, I can't see any benefit in the sort of things he said yesterday. I'm pretty sure most referees wouldn't look on such stuff kindly. There is often talk among City fans about how the team is regularly treated by match officials. I think such complaints are generally exaggerated, but I don't believe Warnock's comments help the situation.
I'd much rather him defend our players an now has taken all the focus from Ralls and put it on himself something Jose used to be good at
