Reply | Varane’s red sets Rangers on road to Rovers ruin – Report
at 13:44 30 Sep 2024
As mentioned in the final par, is this the style of football Marti really wants?
Or are our players collectively just not quite good enough to play his way?
We know he's a pragmatist, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a return to the more Championship-friendly style in the not-too-distant future.
The only difference is we did have Hayden that allowed that sort of approach to work, and Varane isn't that type of player. |

Two weeks before a game against Wawllll/Luton/Leeds, when oppo fans appear on the forum asking how to buy tickets.
Usually something like: 'I'm over from [insert random country] with 6 of my family members. We're big QPR fans and hope to get tickets in the home end. How do we buy them?'
It's like clockwork. |

Marti's comments about the team playing too emotionally was spot on - it definitely added to the harum scarum of the flurry of second half attacks.
One thing that stood out a little was that when Frey and Celar were up top as a pair, they didn't try and play together or help each other out. There were a couple of moments where an attempt to nod it down to the other or try and find your strike partner could have been a better option, but they were acting as though they were playing alone. |

Reply | Eze release clause
at 13:26 19 Aug 2024
I'd be surprised if Eze leaves now, especially this late in the window.
I wouldn't say the lack of interest in him is because the price is too high, but perhaps as much to do with the structure of offer.
I think I'm correct in saying that many of these release clauses have to be paid in one go, which is proving more and more difficult in the age of PSR.
By letting it lapse, interested clubs can offer more structured deals that may cost them more in the long run, but can help them stay within the regs. |

I can't remember if I read it here or heard it elsewhere, but for clubs like us, the aim needs to be raising the floor rather than the ceiling this summer.
Obviously, we'd all like to go out and buy high-quality players and challenge for promotion, but it's more beneficial to raise the overall standard of the squad by closing the gap within our ranks so Marti can rotate without fear of a drop-off.
Given who we've brought in so far, I'd say that we're largely doing that. Then, if there's budget and opportunity towards the end of the window, should we be looking for the 'game-changing' players. |

I did wonder for a moment whether we were trying to gather some pennies together so that Marti could plunder Hammarby for Jusef Erabi, as he's supposedly quite good and wouldn't cost the earth. Recently(ish) back from injury as well. |

Might be. The three shades of blue on the date at the end scares me though. |

While I don't mind Dykes and appreciate his effort and running when he does do it, his lack of anticipation will always be a frustrating point.
I've mentioned it before, but I believe his coming to football later in life and lack of a proper 'football education' is something than cannot be legislated for.
No amount of coaching at this stage in his career will alter that, unfortunately. |

From the article: 'Bhatia made his own box available, waiving any payment for it, and Gove and David Meller went to the match with their sons and some other guests.' |

Given the success of safe standing, I wonder (and hope) if there are plans to extend it around the ground.
Not sure if there are FA/League limitations on how much has to be strictly seated, but it would certainly improve the comfort levels and perhaps offers another more marketable selling point, even if it's a novelty factor. |

Sounds like the Frey deal was done in part using the Transfer Room platform, which is essentially a meat market for clubs/agents to drum up interest in players.
I've noticed it becoming more and more popular with clubs at our level, here and abroad. |

Pritchard leaving Sunderland for Brum is slightly annoying.
Looks like PBBC is making tonnes of friends up there. |

Reply | Your first proper trainers or boots.
at 10:47 11 Jan 2024
The first pair of boots I remember having were a pair of Gola ones from Woolworths.
One day, my Dad had the bright idea of putting them in the oven to dry quickly, after we'd been down the park, kicking a ball around during a storm. Unfortunately, these line of boots were mostly plastic, and ended up melting, subsequently ruining a baking tray in the process.
A few years later, after he'd moved away, he sent me a pair of R9's (the all-silver retail versions), and they were perhaps the greatest pair of boots I ever had. |
