Players who lasted a long time at QPR who you don't remember fondly 19:29 - Apr 12 with 5690 views

with acknowledgements to PP for the inspiration!

Dominic Shimmin and Matthew Hislop, by god what a farce that pair were. People kept on touting them as the next great thing despite the absence of any supporting evidence. Net result, four appearances between them over three years.

Shimmin eventually played 38 games for Morton in two years (a career highlight) while Hislop never made another professional appearance after his solitary outing for QPR in which he went off injured.

Poll:

QPR to finish 7th or Brentford to drop out of the top 6?

Roberts, Ready and Rose got 30 years of money out of QPR between them.
Absolutely astonishing.

Roberts was good for a goal a month. Nobody remembers because of the bicycle kick but Barnsley's first in that FA Cup match was a 30 yard free kick which Neil Redfearn chipped over the wall straight at him and he managed to let it roll down his body, between his legs and into the net.

Rose kept getting released but nobody else wanted him, should have told us something. Never forget that bloody pass back against Oldham that got Chris Day's leg broken.

Ready to Sommer in that bloody Newcastle match.

Hideous players.

Chris Plummer

Anyone got his stats - I think if you add up his minutes on the pitch in total...
you won't get 24hr Plummer

Yep. Barton has to be right at the top of this list. Utter thunderc**t. Tony Roberts, because he was so abysmal. Karl Ready, for the same reason. There have to be other players from that relegation under Francis, but I can't think at the moment.

+1
Nailed it for me.

Gianni Paladini deserves an honorary mention.

You win, Sheen.

Yes, absolutely.

I always considered him a decent prospect who was unbelievably unlucky with injuries - was out for nine months after ripping his calf muscle off his shin bone falling on a cricket stump while bowling or some such nonsense at one point.

Nice line though

Didn't Matthew Rose break his ankle getting out of his car, at some point?

I'm also sure one manager blamed Fitz Hall's repeated hamstring injuries on his commute (ie. sitting in his car for too long).

Fitz Hall was a fcking tart.

I so wanted Mike Fillery do to well as I thought he should have been a good player. Turned out he was Mikele Leigertwood mark minus one

Leigertwood.

Me and RedditchHoop call him "The shrugger" after his reaction following the Rs' 1-0 defeat against Scunthorpe back in the day. We were sliding towards the relegation places but had been playing solidly in that game, only to concede late on. After the game, we held our arms out in frustration as the players came over to The Loft and Mikele could only offer us a limp and pathetic "What do you want me to do about it?" shrug.

RFA

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

Fitz Hall - I remember him above all for being the topping on Paul Furlong's toast. You know the game. So that memory is quite fond.

Also a big part of Hogan Ephraim's finest hour on The Four Year Plan when Flavio calls them together and wants to know why we're losing at home to Scunthorpe and Leigertwood, the captain, slumped in his chair with a gormless look on his face says "ahhhhhhh, errrrrrrr, well there's been a lot of comings and goings and errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr yehhhhhhhhh I suppose we've lost a bit of confidence you know errrrrrrrrrr ahhhhhhhhhh my brain hurts".

Ephraim steps in and gives it the "we'll fight them on the beaches" routine.

And the bit where Warnock at a fan meeting totally just cuts him off as he is about to answer a question
