| News Comment | Varane’s red sets Rangers on road to Rovers ruin – Report at 11:14:45
Boring, sums us up. We have signed what initially looked like some flair players unfortunately the flair has dissipated very quickly. The last couple of games have been very tough watches. The summary of Varane prior to his red card is spot on, I was screaming at the TV saying FFS go forwards. Field, Nardi & Frey small positives but we need a lot more from our so called playmakers if we are to improve on last years standings. I have not lost faith in Marti but his attractive brand of football, the high press, imposing our game on our opponents and making fast starts all seem like a bit of a pipe dream at present? |
| News Comment | Things turn toxic as hapless QPR lose yet again - Report at 07:45:34
Spot on Clive. Your comments reference Sir Les (about to be stripped of his honours?) not showing at half time and poor old Gareth being reduced to a husk are both very telling in their own way. Sad times at Loftus Road. |
| News Comment | Spot the difference, QPR annihilated at Norwich - Report at 15:41:53
I wish I had your staying power Clive but until QPR start bucking up their ideas I will not be renewing my season ticket, price freeze or not. I will stomach the First Division if I have to but I will not swallow a collective lack of effort. They all get far too much money already and I am not funding their next Merecedes, they can f*** right off. |
| News Comment | Freeman heroics snap QPR's latest losing run - Report at 15:30:24
When you at a match you dont always appreciate individual performances fully, so, despite the fact I saw Freeman as the MOM until I watched that montage it really didnt occur to me just how good he had played and how instrumental he was in our victory. (Lumley triple save was fab too) |
| News Comment | QPR fall in familiar Preston hole — Report at 07:36:05
Eze looked lost and had no impact whatsoever. Cousins is just very average. We must look at these games see where we are going wrong and try to effect the game. We needed Manning, someone with bite that wants to drive forward with ball. Too often Scowen and Cousins turn back on themselves or stop, killing any momentum. Smith as documented made us SO predictable and his pace is slightly slower than continental drift. We needed more pace up front but no Oteh? All a bit bizarre but hope this doesn't start a slide. |
| News Comment | Bi-annual Fulham thrashing exposes familiar failings — report at 10:48:46
With Faurlin absent and Washington dropped to the bench we otherwise played with the same team as last week? Key players like Onouha and Hoilett who have been much improved of late, did not turn up. Tozser is awful, he looks like has good balance but he adds nothing he is slow and rarely does more than either clip the ball up in the air or go backwards with a short pass. Philliips cannot defend period. Our full backs allowed balls in behind them all afternoon. So much to maligne and so little to commend and a great shame as I saw green shoots of recovery against ipswich. This taking one step forward and two steps back is becoming a bore. |
| News Comment | Merry Christmas my R’s — Preview at 09:14:01
Bang on, as ever Clive. I would deduce that this season we are an average side, playing average football in an average league, no more no less. I do also happen to think that JFH, given time, will be the best thing that has happened to QPR for a very long while. |
| News Comment | Runners and riders in the annual new QPR manager race - Column at 08:02:49
I have loads of time for Sir Les, Colin and Dezza but something about creating an empire of legends at QPR sits a little uneasy with me, not least that if they don't succeed what then?? It feels like a great boxer making a comeback. If Pearson is indeed a nutter he feels like the best fit to me. |
| News Comment | Second half rally papers first half cracks — report at 08:06:06
Great report and amusing as ever Clive. I am vociferous but not lent to picking fights with fellow Rangers fans...however, having repeated almost verbatim your comments about Henry and added that my feelings were that Mr Ramsey should be replacing Mr Henry with Mr Faurlin some church mouse of a bloke who for five years I had not even noticed had sat behind me told me shut up and added that he had to listen to my dross every week. Having witnessed, even by our standards, two of the most frustrating games of the last few years my blood by now doth boil over. I told the bloke what I thought of him and that he ought to show some passion himself. Some people do just like to sit and watch in silence and some are loud and outspoken. I fit in to the second category but am not a serial moaner. If I am paying fifty quid for two tickets and the bloke out there getting paid twenty five thousand pound a week is not performing I reserve the right to deal out some stick. All in all the QPR of the last two home games have been painful to watch and need to remember a football match consists of two halves and not just one. |
| News Comment | Travel-sick QPR choke on Giroud's red mist — report at 08:23:38
As you say Clive Rangers play with a monkey on their back and at this rate it's more Gorilla than Gibbon. It's all about mentality, there is absolutely no reason why we cannot put in a swashbuckling performance as we have done at home. We do need a Left Back, a pacy midfielder and a cover striker in the window but you cannot make excuses for the lack of ambition that was on show last night. Why wait until the last five minutes to take the game to the opposition. Sooooooooooo Frustrating!!!!!!! |
| News Comment | Out of form QPR pick up another defeat, and injury, at Southampton — report at 09:58:04
Divisions in our fanbase about the merits of keeping Harry Redknapp on or ditching him for a new model are there for all to see. The messageboards give testimony to this. Nevertheless, despite our various frustrations to hear about the abuse handed out to a Father and his young son is sickening to say the least. The abuse of Remy is also, in some ways, pathetic, it feels like some fans are trawling around looking for scapegoats and then channeling their energies in to abuse and hatred rather than getting behind the team. It feels like a section of our support has come in to this season with hugely inflated expectations and six games in, have given up on us already. Whatever happened to the fans that only a few seasons ago kept on singing and getting behind the boys even when we were six goals down at Craven Cottage? |
| News Comment | QPR the perfect party guests once more — report at 07:34:17
Entertaining report, more than can be said of the game. You look at our Midfield and on paper we have more strength in this area by some margin and yet we just couldn't keep the ball. This proved to be our downfall. Watching Hull and West Ham last night, both teams brimming with enthusiasm and intent, full of new players that seem to be fit and raring to go (and scoring!)really puts us to shame. I also agree that with ticket prices away as high as they are in the Prem there is a real danger that our support will start to dwindle if we are to continue in such a benign fashion on the road. |
| News Comment | Late Doncaster goal floors lame QPR - report at 07:29:24
This report tops even 'Harry Redknapp in a deckchair at Yeovil' and perfectly sums up a truly, dismal performance. Hands up I didn't attend but watched a decent live stream. My prognosis was that we looked like we were playing with a hangover! Frightening thought that the season of over indulgence is upon is and we are already dishing out our Christmas presents early and Lord knows how many extra pounds in weight a certain Croatian might be carrying come January!! |
| News Comment | Redknapp and Remy silence the Saints — full match report at 10:17:57
Great result but as Jay Bothroyd said on Talksport postmatch if we dont beat Sunderland next saturday it counts for nothing. Good to see our strikers coming in to goals when it counts, we need to be the form team of the trailing bunch from here on in and it certainly looks like one or two of the others are looking shaky. My only other observation not made elsewhere is that Ji-Sung Park ought to invest in a longer set of studs as the number of times he loses his footing suggests that karate slippers are probably not the most suitable form of footwear? |
