Ravel Morrison Loses It After West Ham's Defeat At Crystal Palace (PICTURES)
Morrison Suffers Temper Tantrum After Latest West Ham Defeat (PICTURES)
The Huffington Post UK
West Ham starlet Ravel Morrison's frustration boiled over following the Hammers' 1-0 Premier League defeat at Crystal Palace.
The midfielder was fortunate not to receive a red card for shoving Palace's Joel Ward in the face.
Referee Lee Mason showed Morrison a yellow card, which means he will be suspended for Saturday's trip to Liverpool, after which West Ham could be in the relegation zone.
"I've been told there was an incident but I wouldn't like to comment," said Hammers assistant Neil McDonald.

"I'm more annoyed that that's his fifth booking so that's a suspension.
"I think it's out of frustration that we didn't get anything out of the game."

Morrison's infamous behaviour effectively ended his Manchester United career
West Ham boss Sam Allardyce was "livid" with his players and official Mason after Stewart Downing's perfectly legitimate equaliser was chalked off for an apparent foul in the area.
McDonald added: "Sam is still a bit livid after the performance, not just of our players, but the officials.

Morrison was frustrated by West Ham's latest loss in the Premier League
"We feel a bit hard done by with the goal that we scored that was given as a foul. That stopped us getting on the front foot and getting back into the game.

Morrison has been West Ham's outstanding player of the campaign
"We saw the replays and couldn't work out where the foul was. Decisions like that cost people points, we were on the front foot, we were attacking, we created a good chance and it's been chalked off.
"It's hard to take really. We felt it must have been for offside, but apparently not."
