Bradley Johnson used the World Darts Championships at Alexandra Palace to hit back at QPR Joey Barton.
The former Newcastle midfielder apparently head-butted Johnson and was shown a straight red card during his side's 2-1 defeat at Loftus Road on Monday.
And Johnson, who watched Adrian Lewis beat Andy Hamilton with several Canaries team-mates, made his feelings known live on TV.
Barton is likely to face an FA charge for accusing Johnson of ‘conning’ officials.
But the midfielder may have left himself in more trouble after a series of tweets.
He posted: ‘Well feel for the officials, they’ve been conned. [The officials] admitted to me at HT they never saw it.
‘I was pulled back 1st, then kicked 2nd.
‘Linesman definitely never saw it, all he seen was Johnsons reaction. My head doesnt move forward at all. Ridiculous decision, seen 25 replays. I’d be 1st to apologise if I’d reacted. Cannot apologise as know I’ve not head-butted anyone.’
The FA will look at the referee’s report before deciding what course of action to take. Meanwhile, QPR manager Neil Warnock could also land himself in hot water after saying: ‘Who says cheats don’t prosper? Bradley has conned him. The assistant ref has guessed.’
