Former England international goalkeeper Rob Green has spoken of his anguish at being frozen out at Queens Park Rangers over a clause in his contract. Air Max 95 Rebajas . The 36-year-old has not featured in a QPRs match-day squad since New Years Day because he would trigger an extension of his current two-year deal if he plays 30 Championship matches.Green, who has been at Loftus Road since 2012, was initially viewed as a central figure in the clubs push for immediate promotion back to the Premier League this season. However, the clubs disappointing form over the first half of the campaign led to the dismissal of manager Chris Ramsey in November with QPR 13th in the Championship table. Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink took over as manager of QPR in December Ramseys replacement, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, informed Green that his 25th appearance of the campaign - on January 1 - would be his last for the club.With the clause in my contract that if I played up to 30 games, I would trigger another year in my contract and the club decided that wouldnt happen, Green said, speaking exclusively on Sky Sports Now.They wanted to give promotion a run at the start of the season and wanted to keep me with a view to that. Come Christmas it was fairly evident that was going to be beyond our reach.It was a disappointing moment for the club because we had really given it a go. Charlie Austin was sold by QPR to Southampton in January Then Charlie (Austin) left in January. That was another decision they had made that they wanted to keep him and try and do as much as they could.From that point on, I have not played a game. It has been a frustrating time - one that took me a little while to get my head around.Both QPR and Green were keen for him to leave the club in January but despite interest from several clubs in signing him, including Crystal Palace and West Ham, he was unable to secure a move away.The decision was made in January with a view to me hopefully getting a move in January, Green added.There were a couple of things that came about but they never came to fruition, which again was disappointing.But that is football and that is the way of the world. It is difficult in January because everyone has got their goalkeepers. Unless someone has had a bad injury or something like that, no one needs a goalkeeper in January.

I know I am going into a summer break but I am feeling ready to go and wanting to play games.It has been a frustrating time but one where I have managed to spend time away from football and found life outside of it for the first time in 36 years. It has been positive in other ways. Also See: QPR video QPR fixtures QPR stats Get a ￡10 free bet here!

LAS VEGAS -- Canelo Alvarez gets a pass, if only because everyone who fights Floyd Mayweather Jr. gets a pass. Lose a second fight to someone not named Mayweather, though, and the red-haired Mexicans star could begin to fade. "I learned a lot from fighting Floyd, but Im ready to get back in the ring to maintain the path that I was on before," Alvarez said. "This is what I love to do." The path Alvarez was on took a detour in September when Mayweather dominated him over 12 rounds, handing Alvarez his first loss. He gets a totally different type of opponent Saturday night, taking on slugger Alfredo Angulo in a junior middleweight fight that likely wont be wanting for action. The story line against Mayweather was whether a young and strong champion could solve a puzzle no other boxer had been able to. The story line against Angulo will be whether Alvarez can come back from the loss and establish himself again as one of the stars of the sport. "What happened in September is in the past," Alvarez insisted. "Im fully concentrated on this fight." Alvarez didnt pick a walkover for his comeback fight, the first of what he hopes to be three bouts this year. Angulo is a rugged and hard-hitting contender who may come into the ring as a big underdog but will have more than just a punchers chance. Angulo was stopped in his last fight by Erislandy Lara after his left eye swelled shut in the 10th round. But he had knocked Lara down twice earlier and was holding his own before suddenly turning his back to Lara in a sign he couldnt go on. "Im ready to chase him or fight him like a true Mexican warrior," Angulo said. "I plan to test him like hes never been tested before. I dont think anyone has ever hit Canelo as hard as Im going to hit him." The fight is part of a pay-per-view card on Showtime that was supposed to include a fight between IBF light middleweight champion Carlos Molina and challenger Jermall Charlo. That fight was cancelled Friday, though, while Molina remained in a Las Veegas jail on a 2007 felony warrant for failing to register as a sex offender. Air Max 95 Baratas. Promoters elevated a lightweight fight between Ricardo Alvarez, brother of Canelo Alvarez, and Sergio Thompson to the televised spot instead. Alvarez weighed in at 155 pounds Friday, the contract limit, to 154 1/2 for Angulo. Angulo (22-3, 18 knockouts) has had his own issues with jail, spending eight months at a detention facility in California after turning himself in for being in the U.S. on an expired visa. The native of Mexico says he has since cleared up his immigration issues, and devoted himself to his boxing career at the age of 31. "There were a couple times when I was in the immigration detention centre that I wanted to quit," Angulo said. "But my team of lawyers always motivated me, wouldnt let me stay down for too long and kept telling me that justice would prevail and that I shouldnt give up. I always dreamed of being a headliner on a major card, and here it is. I am so ready for Saturday." Alvarez (42-1-1, 30 knockouts) was overmatched in his fight against Mayweather, losing almost every round and never being able to figure out how to get inside Mayweathers defence. He vowed to use his first defeat as a learning experience, though, and wants to regain the stature that has made him a reliable pay-per-view attraction in recent fights. To do that he must win -- and win impressively -- against a fighter who might have more guts than talent. "Angulo presents a difficult challenge because hes a fighter who can punch and take a great punch," Alvarez said. "I know I have to prepare and establish my game plan early. But you know how it can be with game plans. Sometimes, once a fight starts, you have to do what you have to do to win." Angulo said that is just one of the reasons the fight should be an entertaining one, no matter how long it lasts. "Style-wise, this is a great matchup for the fans and both of us," he said. " Fans are going to get a great fight." ' ' '
