I don't think that defenders appealed, either, did they? |

Yes, I wonder what it would be like if that weather (Christmas to early March!!) were to be repeated one day. |

Luton were the opponents for our first match on the Loftus Road plastic. They won. |

Ah. I have remembered the coldest one. That was at Swindon, too, on 12 January 1963. The big freeze of 1962-63 had started at Christmas 1962 and the thaw did not arrive until early March 1963 (off at a tangent, but, how prepared are you for another winter like that?).
The pitch was covered in hard-packed, frozen snow. At the 'warm'-up, it was clear that the Rangers players could hardly stand up. Our hosts, however, had been taken by their manager Bert Head, to the 'Bata' shoe shop - to buy basketball boots - on the morning of the match. They were much better able to stand up and play.
Only a tiny handful of games were played that Saturday. This one should not have been. But it was and Swindon won 5-0.
I had recently moved to a school in Swindon. That Saturday was miserable. So was Monday morning. [Post edited 3 Jan 7:26]

Not sure about coldest but the wettest was probably on Stratton Bank at the County Ground, for Swindon v QPR, in the League Cup, in 2008. We won and I remember that Ledesma revelled in the conditions, but, there was no cover and it chucked it down for the whole match. |

I suspect that Jack would have thought that, with the added time, that would be plenty of time to pick up a red card  |

Yes. The test for the Rs is how they manage the game, 3-1 up with about 15 minutes to go. Saito and Madsen coming on to help - we hope. |

Our best team ever (1975/76) suffered occasional injury problems, but, with poorer pitches, a heavier ball, tougher tackling and only one substitute allowed, it was pretty consistent in its line-up.
Why, with the facilities available, the huge number of substitutes allowed, so many tackles penalised, the better pitches and the advances in medical science, do we (and other teams) have so many injury problems? |

'One game at a time', of course, but when we look at our last nine matches, we can see four wins, four draws and one defeat; 12 goals scored, seven conceded, 16 points gained. If we were to we maintain that form until the end of the season, we would end up with 64 points. These figures guarantee nothing regarding the matches ahead, but they do, at least, put in perspective that Christmas Pudding performance at Swansea. |

Thank you. I thought that it probably was. So, which airline would like to pay a fortune to advertise on the roof of the Bhatia Stand and the Stanley Bowles stand? |

After Boxing Day and after a radical re-shuffle to cope with injuries, it surely tells us something that so many of us are actually disappointed with a 1-1 draw at Norwich!!
Well done Rangers. Yes, it could have been three points but we appreciate that effort that went into that (and Marti's management of the resources). |
