We lost a game we probably shouldn ’ t have due to two very poor decisions .

Referee Craig Pawson gave nothing for either decision . QPR eventually lost the match 2-1 after Spurs striker Harry Kane struck twice . Ramsey said : ’ When we ’ re near the bottom and we ’ re fighting for our lives and you have two strong penalty shouts you expect people to be frustrated .

But Ramsey added : ‘ I ’ d accept keeping QPR up and to not get the job. ’ QPR players trained on Friday ahead of their Saturday lunchtime kick-off against London rivals Crystal Palace .
