Spot on about the rainbow rangers thing. Someone recently posted a pic of a QPR lapel/pin badge they had made with the rainbow and the comments from some of our fans were awful. Facebook is like that these days though, seemingly full of angry, ageing people who like doing nothing more than constantly complaining about absolutely everything and just being nasty. I pity them if they are always that unhappy. |

Aside from Ingham who used to write very long and interesting posts, I also remember Stevenage Hoop (who I had quite a few beers with when he visited Sydney), and Aussie Bee (Brentford fan who posted on the old board and who I ran into watching an England world cup game in 2002).
Sweepy Bee was another Brentford fan and quite the pest on our board. He quietened down a bit after someone identified him (he was running for the local council at the time). There was a football game arranged between our board and the Brentford one. Maybe someone here played or was there, but I think Sweepy agreed to have QPR shaved into his head if we won. We did and it was done. There were photos posted at the time. Just realised a couple of posters above were involved in the game, probably should have read the replies first.
Anyone remember the legendary "Fulham Boy can't get a seat" thread? [Post edited 20 Feb 7:11]

I can remember being on a previous version of this board in the very early 2000s. |

Wouldn't be a good move.
The current version of the club don't have much in the way of finances to improve the squad and still have a massively deluded fan base that think they should win every game. Any manager that can't beat Celtic to the league will be under a lot of pressure.
Currently 13 points behind which is a fair reflection of the gap. Celtic have a much better squad and plenty of money to improve it thanks to champions league qualification and some big sales in recent years. |

Spurs have been absolutely decimated by injuries this season to be fair. |

Its extremely unlikely, not least due to the number of teams between us and 6th.
However lets allow ourselves to dream while not worrying about relegation, just for a bit eh? |

It absolutely is one of the biggest shocks in history. When do Rangers or Celtic ever lose at home to lower division teams in the cup?
You will struggle to find any bigger cup shock (Rangers losing at home to Hamilton in the 80s, who were in the same division, is remembered as one) and its not like the occasional upsets in England where the prem teams send out their reserves. This was Rangers only real chance of a trophy this season so they were well up for it.
There's a huge gulf between Rangers/Celtic and even the 3rd placed premiership team every year. Its a chasm to clubs like Queens Park who play in front of crowds the size of around what Wealdstone get in non league and have only been professional for about 5 years. |

Oh don't spoil the fun, everyone is meant to rage about Starmer who's been in charge for a few months and inherited an absolute shit show. |

It was a penalty because Rangers were losing, which is standard. They even sent it to VAR afterwards to see if there was any excuse for a retake. |

Fantastic stuff and utterly embarrassing for Sevco. They had won a couple of games recently so the chest beating about them being back and potentially chasing down Celtic's 13 (THIRTEEN) point lead in the league was getting louder.
Not even pushing the emergency soft penalty button with seconds of added time remaining could save them. Most amusing of all, as someone pointed out on twitter, Tavernier actually sets off to celebrate after hitting the penalty 
Great performance by James Acaster in goal and hats off to Queens Park for a famous victory. |

A bigger factor than the points gap is the number of teams we would have to pass, along with our poor goal difference. Unlikely, but just looking up rather than down is quite pleasant. |

She's a bit up herself, not very bright and fortunate that she has a sporting talent. Some of her excuses are laughable.
Not exactly crime of the century though is it? Plenty of lawyers, journos etc making a quid out of covering something that seems very minor and petty. Basically a pissed person being a bit gobby.
She's hugely famous here due to being their best player by far (at least before the ACL anyway) but I'm not sure how well known she is in the UK despite playing there. [Post edited 7 Feb 23:08]

If we'd had even a remotely ok start to the season we'd be in a good place now. Great to see the progress now, I think we can officially declare relegation fears as over! |

I wouldn't write Postecoglu off yet, Spurs have been decimated by injuries for some time and yet the results are apparently all the manager's fault. |

I was one of the very few Rs in the away end that night. An intimidating atmosphere to say the least, not helped by our extremely defensive performance (back passing to the keeper was very much still allowed then) to grind out a 0-0.
The mate I went with that night is a Forest fan so it wasn't even 100% QPR fans among that small away following.
The home leg which we won 2-1 was extremely lively, during and after the game. |
