WITH his Cardiff side Definitely Maybe looking relegated, Neil Warnock produced an impersonation of a Liam Gallagher camera-stare that was even more frightening than the Bluebirds' predicament.

Social media was amused and bemused as the veteran boss strode at speed towards a backpedalling TV camera - glaring fiercely into it, like a sinking man's Zombie.

Neil Warnock glares straight into the camera as he shows the intensity of the situation for Cardiff in their do-or-die battle with Palace

Warnock's expression of ferocious intensity briefly diverted attention from Cardiff's doomed situation - as they went on to confirm their relegation from the Premier League with a 3-2 home defeat against Crystal Palace

And his "weird" walk with a "gurning" face sparked a torrent of Twitter comments from alarmed armchair critics.

One said: "Neil Warnock sticking his face into the camera produced one of the most unpleasant things ever to appear on my tv screen."

Another was slightly more generous, saying: "Warnock gurning into the camera. hilarious."

A typical comment was: "Wtf did Neil Warnock just do to the camera there? That was weird..."

But a few fans defended Warnock's actions - claiming TV cameras had got too close.

One such tweet read: "Warnock is a tool but I rate that. Give him some space camera man, you've got a zoom button on there. Went full Liam Gallagher with it."
