Don't know why but stream just started with that.
Andy Sinton still co-comms.
Some guy called Billy Wright main comms. | |

I was listening to 'that' broadcast and his comments did register as strange, interesting with me at the time. I was waiting for some additional snippets, but none came. Am I right in thinking there was a slight cautionary murmer from Andy Sinton following his bullying reference? | |

The departed head of Ops was totally useless IMHO.
Before the Sunderland home game I'd parked up in Bloemfontein when my parked car was side swiped by a silver van causing some minor damage. The driver came straight back, apologised profusely and explained that he was a chief steward of more than 25 years at the club and that it was a club van which he'd been racing to get to SA Road to shut it to traffic. As I say the bloke couldn't have been nicer and assured me that I'd hear from the club on Monday.
Needless to say that didn't happen and despite two phone calls where I spoke to the same club secretary who was going to chase Ops up I never heard anything, so sadly I had to go through my insurance company and luckily as my dash cam had been running I was able to get the repair done at no expense, but if the Ops people had been in touch this could've cost a lot less and there would have been no need for Insurance involvement. | | | |

Can we start a campaign #ReinstateLondon? I will admit that I shamefully wrote on here that I didn't rate him after my first lockdown dalliance with iFollow, but he's become part and parcel of the match day experience and I've grown to love him...
Nick London, Nick London
Pretty sure he's nothing to be scared of
Don't you ever, don't you ever
Don't you ever tell me that's he cancelled. | | | |

Very sad to see him go. Nick and Andy were a terrific duo. Couldn't they have just given him a yellow or a three match suspension? | | | |

One of the things he was particularly good at was an awareness that coverage was for both TV and audio. Billy Rice didn't seem to have that yesterday. Listening to the audio it was difficult to know what was happening a lot of the time. | | | |

I thought the same whilst watching the match but it can’t be an easy thing to do. I think Andy helped him get through it and I am sure he will get better in time. | | | |

Yes, we need a petition to reinstate Nick. Hoos has misjudged this massively. | | | |

So is this bullying between Ainsworth and Willock? .
I wouldn't know anything about these alleged rumors and speculating on a public forum if the club didn't sack off London. | |

Panic on the streams of London
Seriously … Clive, you say say it’s obvious what’s going on here … I’ve got no fcuking idea.
I wonder to myself
Btw … I’m either at the games or working so rarely listen to the comms but when I do, Nick London is brilliant. I could recite the Eze at Stoke goal. Especially the bit that goes Eze … Eeeeezzzeeeee!!! | | | |

It's a shame he's gone, did miss him watching the stream on Saturday but as Clive said it's a bit of a tricky one and a silly mistake to make
Billy Rice was good at the weekend, obviously a bit nervous and trying to find his feet but brought back some nostalgia from the early 00's and like Nick London he's a massive QPR fan and a regular at games as a fan normally so hopefully fans are not abusive towards him as they were with Nick London at times | | | |

Thanks, Clive, for shedding some light on the issue. Seems a bit odd that someone who would occasionally contact you with guidance and advice would suddenly experience a moment of madness and elect to air such grievances during match commentary. If true, Nick can have little complaint about losing the role. Hopefully in the fullness of time we'll learn the truth of the matter. In the meantime, welcome back Billy. | | | |

Bit silly and unprofessional to speak about something like that on a live commentary, considering nothing has been officially announced and it was (I assume) a member of staff who wasn't part of the footballing side (so therefore why mention it during comms?). [Post edited 1 Dec 2023 8:35]

I am surprised he did not get in trouble for calling Bamford a cheat when he fell over and Asmir got sent off. He went on and on about Bamford cheating.
From what I saw Bamford fell over as he bottled it and Asmir as we know never touched him. It was all a calamity of nothingness. I even think Bamford was trying to tell the ref that he was not fouled. But maybe I was imagining that part as I am the only one who thought it.
Yet Nick London went on and on about his "Cheating" and "he's a cheat" so, was constantly aghast about it. Sinton was smarter and played it down a lot. It made little difference to the result and Asmir got the red rescinded anyway.
I think what has made a greater difference for us than Bamfords so-called cheating was Asmir's rescinded red. Freeman once said we had more letters of apologies from refs than any other team. We must be up there now I would assume once again. This gets around the Refs and now I am seeing the fruits of that where we get that mythical event know as ... a penalty!
And Dykes scored it.
Witchcraft I say ... Witchcraft | |

If he said this publicly one wonders what else he had been saying off camera? | | | |

No going to comment about any bullying or rumours but its a real shame Nick London was not calling that second half Tuesday IMO.
After the misery he had to endure for the last 12 months ,trying to keep it entertaining he would have been hanging out the window with excitement when Dykes equalized then the fireworks later .
Best of luck to him going forward hopefully he gets hired right away .
Andy Sinton is QPR true and true but his voice strains very easily IMO even making regular comments but its fine when he screams Yeeeeeessssss | | | |
| Nick London gone! on 15:17 - Dec 1 with 3565 views | mart_Goblin |
Yes I do agree. He would have been a great listen during the come back .
I won’t comment directly either but heard more from the club side of things and he didn’t do himself any favours at all …if true | | | |

Only just catching up on this. I'm in Switzerland (or Luxembourg tonight...) and Nick has truly become as much part of my matchday QPR experience as being despondent at our useless team and drinking too early. It just hasn't been the same without him the past couple of games  | |

Wasnt Billy Wright the comms man before Nick London? Or was that Billy Rice? Or is that the same person and I am misremembering the name? Anyone? | |

That was Billy Rice, who was our media guy before Moz, in the halcyon Ollie days. | |
