The Georgian international was taken off in the 43rd minute in a tactical move after team-mate Keith Andrews was dismissed.

And former Newcastle striker greeted the decision by throwing his jersey towards the Wolves bench before walking away to the tunnel.

Wolves boss David Jones simply described the action as "throwing out the dummy".

Ketsbaia, who moved from Newcastle to Wolves in a �900,000 transfer last summer, has seen his time at the Midlands club turn sour.

After the Crystal Palace match he said: "Coming to Wolves was the worst decision of my life.

"This isn't just about the last two days. It's the last four months.

"They didn't find me in the street. I had a two-year contract at Newcastle but I came here to do the best for this club."

Jones has agreed to urgent talks with the 33-year-old Georgian but stuck by his decison to switch him at Crystal Palace.

"He was unfortunate because he was playing well, but it's a team game," said Jones

"He has shown no respect for the shirt, the club, the decision or his team-mates. He looked a fool and, now, he has to live with that."

Ketsbaia has played down his shirt-throwing antics, saying: "I don't want to hear any of this symbolic gesture rubbish.

"Disrespect is if I didn't do anything, but people can see I've been doing my best and have been one of the best players in the last two games I've played."
