Agreed, Digger. Especially about the Penlee Lifeboat disaster. I was living in Polperro in December 1981 and one evening there was a tremendous storm. We went down to the sea to watch it, not knowing then what was going on farther west.
I know what you mean about 'welling up'. I have listened to the recording of the communications between the Penlee (Mousehole) lifeboat and the coastguards as the lifeboat crew try to rescue the seamen on the 'Union Star'. Eventually, it goes silent. That is a lump in the throat moment.
We use terms like 'hero' rather loosely at times. Those people - commemorated in Mousehole- were true heroes. |

Would that be 'Mousenal'? |

We go long spells without the commentators mentioning Chair or Smyth. We need those players (especially Chair) to have the ball from time to time, if only to take the pressure off the defence for a minute or two. Sounds like heroic defending though. |

I loved him as a QPR player - was it 18 PL goals in a team that got relegated?
But, a 'striker coach'?
Sorry, but I have a job to understand quite what that entails. At Wembley, years ago, I met Les Ferdinand who told me that he was coaching the strikers at Tottenham. I should have asked how he did it.
It seems to me that there is something that we might call a 'striker's instinct' but that can hardly be taught.
One thing that definitely can be coached is the way that ammunition is provided to the strikers. Could we start there? |

Possibly the most important of his comments was that the fans should continue giving their support. The alternative is unthinkable. |

I am as cheesed off as most QPR fans must be, looking at four successive defeats. But, perhaps not quite as much as some on LFW are.
I can remember the optimism here at the beginning of this season, based on the remarkable recovery in 2023-24, the belief in Cifuentes, the transfer business in the summer and the football that has been played (albeit without the necessary consistency) Look back at that, if you have time.
It should reassure all - except those who actually prefer to moan and cry in their beer - that this is a situation that can be turned around. My guess is that it will be. |

Stats at half-time show that we have had more possession, more shots, more shots on target and more possession in the opposition box. But, what is not working? |

Yep. From 30 yards, at the Loftus Road end.

Show the film to Ilias Chair. I reckon he could do something like that - with a bit of encouragement. |

Len Silver - a very big name in speedway. I watched speedway regularly from about 1962 to 1967. He retired frrom riding in that period. A long and very full life! |

Hello Ted. I am also on Tamsulosin, without any obvious problems. Your experience (full up and can't go) must have been horrific. I have a very enlarged prostate and prostate cancer, but the latter is monitored and said to be non-threatening. The possibility of the big prostate pushing other things around and leading to an infection is troubling though, and I shall get a urine test next week.
Very best wishes to you. |

We don't want to keep the ball indefinitely, though. We want the opposition to have it from time to time - recovering it from their net |

Good questions RsinWales.
I do not pretend to have any answers but I do know that it Is those 'scary' holes in midfield that bother me most and tightening up the team, to make us harder to score against will be the priority. I comfort myself with the knowledge that, whatever we think, Marti and his colleagues will have seen what the problems are and will know - better than we do - how to solve them. |

I hope that this will not be misunderstood, but, I liked a lot of what I saw (on Sky+) from Rangers last night.
I was concerned that we did not seem to recognise the threat that Hull presented when they won possession between the centre circle and our box and I did not like the way that we wasted a number of set-pieces when we had them.
But, some of our attacking play was very good to watch and the Sky co-commentator acknowledged that.
21 shots at goal and seven on target, but, how do we tighten up in the other half of the pitch? Over to you, Marti. I am sure that it can be done. |
