Update on Sinclairs matchday shirt 11:06 - Aug 15 with 3686 views

The Irish guy that Sinclair Armstrong gave his shirt to after the Cardiff game got in touch with Sinclair and asked him if he wanted it back as he had scored his first league goal in it. This was Sinclairs reply to him ' Keep it! I don't just give my jersey to people for no reason. I'll remember my fist QPR goal forever, but seeing the reaction you had to getting my jersey made my afternoon. It's all good Mr. Finnegan, God bless you'.
It looks like we could well have found ourselves a proper humble, respectful footballer.
If he could go any higher in my estimation he's certainly achieved.

I saw that on the Irish Rs facebook page.

Respect to them both.

@Qprireland @QPR After some thought and comments here and other forums, having watched the emotional Sinclair Armstrong interview with Nick London, I contacted him asking if he might like to have the shirt back as a momento of his special day.
His response was really humbling 🙏 pic.twitter.com/n2tdxI5U7z

the very first picture I saw of Sinclair was this one...

My first thought was ... 'he looks like a bit of a bellend'...

Not for the first time in my life I was utterly wrong... Really looking forward to seeing him play on Saturday.

Fair play to Declan for making that offer as well. I did have the thought that Sinclair might regret not keeping hold of it once he'd calmed down. Good people all round.

Definitely for me. He made a big step up Saturday. If he continues like that for a few games it will get noticed.

I presume once we've moved some on bringing in some cash and the transfer window closes we might be looking at new contracts for a few including Armstrong.

It'll be too late then. He'll have scored two dozen goals by then.

And we'll be out of shirts.

Not to be a spoilsport but don't the teams usually change their shirts at half time anyway? So his first half shirt would still be in his/QPR's possession somewhere and it was the second half one given away?

They certainly used to get through 2 shirts per match anyway, I remember doing a stadium tour long ago that had them all hooked up in the dressing rooms.

May not be like that anymore, and lovely gesture from Sinclair anyway. Just a thought that it may not all be lost for him!

I imagine they cost about £5 to actually manufacture at absolute tops, probably less. Then the maker has his margin, then the club make theirs.

I'm pretty sure the players get charged by the club for any shirts they give away.

First time I saw him in the flesh was at Wealdstone friendly ahead of last season. My Fulham mate was laughing at him after a couple of minutes and said "Christ, he is going to kill someone before the end of the game". I had to point out that he was only just turned 19 a few weeks back and I would say he is still "raw". Will be sending my mate the clip of his assist for Paal's goal, as he has come a long way since that Wealdstone friendly.

With no leg room, knees killing me, do I just go now or stay for the 2nd half o?
