There is a phenomena of criminals returning to the crime scene to observe how their handiwork is dealt with. In some cases the perpetrators are thought to experience a kind of perverse thrill, reliving the crime and experience over again in their mind.
And so, Laird and Roberts - the Brum Bandits – the arsonists who burnt season 22/23 to the ground, return to the scene of their horrific crimes to sift through the ashes to see if there is any trace evidence left behind of their time at Loftus Road. Maybe they will revel in the looks of horror on the faces of the gathering masses, or the shaking of the heads from hardened veterans who thought they had seen everything, but were shocked at what they saw inside?
The looks of horror though are to be found on their own faces as they cross the line and lay eyes upon a very different scene... this is definitely not what they were expecting.
There are no chalk outlines in the shape of Gareth Ainsworth or Neil Critchley, no sobbing loved ones desperately clutching at a soiled Tyler Roberts shirt, or a dumbstruck forensic accountant trying to justify how they were duped into spending money on absolute toss... No, The scene is, well, lovely and green... the faces are a mixture of hope and happiness... the site isn't a vacuous, charred mess... the manager is commanding, strong and looks like he knows exactly what he's doing.
Panic sets in, it wasn't supposed to be this way!
In unison, already fresh out of ideas of what to do next, like muscle memory, what happens to Laird and Roberts when faced with uncertainty or difficulty, happens again - they both sit down and shake their heads... 'It's the calf again guv' is barely audible above the din from the masses who aren't even booing, they're laughing... and Laird and Roberts, as they trudge off the pitch give a faint clap as some kind of acknowledgment. This is rejected though, the people vs Laird and Roberts is over, the judgement was passed down - they were found guilty, although they felt none, and sentenced to a career of nothingness.
3 to the R's - 1 to the Arsonists.

Wish I could have been there - stuck on a work conference call and had to keep my trap shut. Was difficult! But chuffed for everyone and for all at the stadium, sure it will be a moment you never forget :-)

Live text doesn't really do it justice "Goal! Queens Park Rangers 2, Birmingham City 1. Jimmy Dunne (Queens Park Rangers) left footed shot from outside the box to the top left corner."

Excellent result in terms of winning from a losing position which has been a real issue for us since Warbs left. It might not have been so nerve wracking if we had forwards who could actually score goals.

Sitting in the car and hoarse from the shouting and singing, did the heigh ho Queens Park Rangers come over? What a noise, what a celebration and what a goal!!! Really if anyone on that team deserved to score such an important winner, then it was Dunne. The lad as took dogs abuse during our dark days, but whatever Marti as done, as turned the lad around and so so happy as I always liked Dunne. Street our man of the match, though Bacuna was the best player on the park, thankfully they took him off, which allowed Dunne to move forward ..... just little things like that makes all the difference.... if Bacuna stayed on might have been different

I can confirm that by computating on my 3-axis accelerometer, my 3-axis gyroscope and my 3-axis magnetometer pinpointed at the center mass of the ball where Jimmy put his foot through it, The spin rate and prodigious swerve was 24% greater than Liam Brady's strike at Spurs 1978.
Magic.

We have most of the family coming for an inspection - err, I mean, visit - on Sunday and I have spent most of today, including the entire duration of the game, cleaning the house, sigh
I was following it on Radio London, nerves frayed, while I vacuumed in places normally only frequented by our resident spiders.
Great result for the team, that should give us more confidence and belief as we face a string of vital games, plus it ratchets up the pressure on our fellow stragglers.

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

Right you are, of course! And what a way to win such an important game. I didn't think we played too well, lacked our normal fluidity in our attacking play. But great our 2 big defenders rescued us at both ends today, and with a Begovic assist for Jimmy's!

Not a great game. Birmingham were absolutely dreadful and we allowed them to be unpunished for the most part. But blimey what a climax and what a goal! You Rs!
