Redknapp blasts `stupid' Kaboul

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp slammed Younes Kaboul for his "stupid" dismissal in the 2-0 win over Newcastle. Spurs ended a game with 10 men for the second time in a row after Kaboul saw red for a second-half clash with Newcastle midfielder Cheik Tiote. After being tackled perfectly legally by Tiote, Kaboul squared up head to head with his opponent and referee Anthony Taylor deemed the offence worthy of a straight red card. "We shouldn't have gone down to 10. It was stupid," said Redknapp. "It's a lack of discipline. He has got to learn. You are 1-0 up so why do you have to get involved in something like that? It's absolute nonsense and he has to learn. He is a young boy and has been fantastic for us this year. "He has been everything I always thought he would be. Now he has become a top-class centre-half but he has gone and got himself suspended for three games."
