And how he talked over Gary Neville after the Haaland goal to spew his latest poetic verse out as if he's just watched Michelangelo finish off the Sistene Chapel.

'Muscle and Might, Power and Poise" Oh shut up mate he's just kicked a ball in a goal FFS.

The Modern Football Fan - What went wrong
at 11:10 23 Sep 2024

The National League South average attendance in 2012/13 was 487. In 2023/24 it was 1,205, having gradually grown to that level with an obvious downturn for COVID.

Looking at Farnborough Town (as an example), their average attendance has gone from 485 to 852 over the same period in the same division.

Given FL and PL attendances aren't down (I don't think?) it feels like either more seats are being filled by tourists and corporations at the top of the game and the average paying punter is going to non league clubs instead. Either that or far fewer games are on at Saturday at 3 o'clock so people are doing both more often.

What's going on here? Brand new user, bouncing old threads with little titbits on Nick London, Tony Incenzo and now Dave Mc who doesn't know where to park near LR... Hmmm...

Mate he's started one league game. One.

He's not 'in the team'.

What do you expect them to do? Banish him to outer Mongolia because a few impatient, loud-mouthed pillocks haven't immediately taken to him?

We get it, you don't like the look of him. I don't know what you're trying to achieve by just making the same point over and over in lots of different, cringey ways. Even if you're bang on in this post, what are you advocating? That he never plays another minute for us? Surely even you can see the absurdity of that?

There are plenty of people in this thread having a grown chat about him. You're not one of them. It's all sensationalist tantrum-driven nonsense.

It's pretty crazy how certain players have a propensity to be singled out by fans as being crap far too soon. Clearly there's something about Celar that people got the hump with immediately... as in literally his first game. It's not like he scored a hat trick of own goals or turned up with a Chelsea til I die tattoo yet relatively large swathes of our fanbase have actively written him off and already detest him.

If he'd Bob Malcolm'ed his debut I'd understand it but so far he's guilty of not doing enough right rather than doing a lot wrong. You don't have to be pleased to see his name on the teamsheet, just don't act like he's out there plotting our own downfall. I guess some people are hard-wired to enjoy what they enjoy and detest what the don't with little middle ground.

Anyway probably best not to turn this into another Celar evaluation thread, sorry.

I've slagged him off on here a few times before.

I think since the WBA game he's been one of our most dependable and best performers. And as usual he's getting through some crazy minutes.

Glad he's making me shut my mouth slash making it clear I know bugger all. Good for you Kenneth.

Could not agree more Nump. It absolutely would have found a reason to chalk it off - largely because it was ugly. The whole point of football to the fan is to provide these brain bursting moments of delirium. Just let it happen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Watling

"On 25 July 2022, Watling was appointed First Team Development coach at Championship side Queens Park Rangers.[5] Watling helped guide the Rs to the top of the Championship before departing for Rangers in late 2022."

Judging by the selective context and all the grammatical errors it looks like he updates his own Wikipedia page.

Of Chair's back injury, QPR CEO Christian Nourry said:

"The patient presents with a disruption in the structural and functional integrity of the vertebral column, characterized by a herniation of the intervertebral disc and subsequent radiculopathy. Specifically, there is a prolapse of the nucleus pulposus through the annulus fibrosus, leading to impingement on the adjacent neural structures, including the dorsal root ganglia. This displacement causes mechanical compression and subsequent inflammatory mediators release, resulting in nociceptive signaling along the corresponding spinal nerve root. But no bloody chance will I be telling you how long he's out for."

Loftus Road renovation/revamp
at 14:46 9 Sep 2024

They've said publicly in a fans' forum they're working with the council around regenerating LR. And there are people on this very thread that seem to prove they're in discussion with architects. Someone must be willing to foot the eventual bill or confident they can raise funds or they wouldn't have bothered getting that far.

I don't doubt Ruben would be out of here in an instant if he could get a bit of cash back but perhaps LR in it's current form is part of what's stopping him from doing so - both in terms of P&L and on-pitch product. I'm not sure Ruben's ideal exit route and the regeneration of LR at his expense have to be mutually exclusive.

First NFL Game
at 14:39 9 Sep 2024

Sorry mate, wasn't having a pop at you - more so the argument as I watch a lot of NFL and hear it a lot from mates. It really is a wonderful, fascinating, strategic game. If you watch it from a frame of mind of observing deliberate, turn-by-turn strategy rather than an equivalent of football, it really does flow a lot better than our football which is littered with dishonesty and conning officials. Not everyone's cup of tea though of course.

First NFL Game
at 12:01 9 Sep 2024

It always makes me laugh when a football fan - particularly one of a Championship club - claims the NFL is too 'stop/start'.

At least the stops in NFL are legal and premeditated. It flows about a billion times better than every single Championship game I'll watch this season.

The ball is in play 52.3% of the time in the Championship on average. You likely spend about 46 minutes every week waiting for football to be played again. Until the EFL find a way to stop players literally standing still waiting to be booked for time wasting this is no argument at all.

Just going to ignore the three links I’ve already posted that explain the free agents have to have been free agents at the close of the transfer window?

I don't think it has anything to do with being named in the squad - the squads aren't finalised for another week anyway. It's whether he was registered to another club at the end of the transfer window last Friday; which he was.

I think we can forget about him until January at the earliest.

I'm pretty sure it is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_window

"Free agents can be signed by a club at any time during the season, if they had been released by their previous club before the end of the transfer window."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/6971785.stm

"Players who are out of contract and do not have a club, can be signed outside of the transfer window if they are unattached free agents when the window closes."

It's not stopping them gaining employment. We can sign him this afternoon if we so wish. He won't be eligible to play until the next Transfer Window opens in January though.

I know it’s been said many, many times before but I am so, so proud to have Sinton as club ambassador and of all the work he has done. He really has helped make QPR smell like QPR again. It’s an important thing that we completely lost when the F1 idiots fiddled with us and it shouldn’t be taken for granted.

Super stuff.

Frey / Celar V Dykes / S Armstrong
at 12:27 5 Sep 2024

Not really a fair contest given one of them is playing a level below ours.

I definitely feel more comfortable with Frey and Celar than I would have felt had we only had Dykes and Armstrong though.

Frey's performance in the second half last Friday was the best performance by a Striker for QPR for 10 years I would have said.
