Joey Barton hits out at disgruntled Queens Park Rangers fans

Joey Barton hits out at the QPR fans who booed the team following their goalless draw with Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Queens Park Rangers midfielder Joey Barton has hit out at a group of supporters who booed the team following a goalless draw with Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Harry Redknapp's side have not suffered defeat in their last six home matches at Loftus Road, but they are yet to pick up a point away from home.

After Sunday's match, Barton addressed the disgruntled fans by tweeting: "I'm not criticising the 99.9% of our fans. They have made the difference in all key games this calendar year, especially at Wembley.

"Just pointing out the feeling of surprise raised by a few including me in the dressing room. We stick together. We ALL stay positive.

"Any 'supporter' that goes to a game and boo's has that right. I believe it helps nobody and undermines the definition of 'supporter'. I will from now on in only be concerning myself with 'genuine football supporters'. If you are a 'consumer' or 'customer', drop me out."

QPR are currently two points above the relegation zone in the Premier League table.
