Field's surprise double caps fitting footballing tribute to Bowles – Report 7th Mar 2024 21:21
On a night when we came together to remember Stan Bowles, QPR served up a classic and controversial cliffhanger that played to the finest entertainer traditions of the club and its greatest ever player. 15

I’d forgotten about the ref stopping Frey from taking a throw to send one of our players clear because …….only Eltringham knows!!
I do wonder if the fitness of these refs is a problem . It’s understandable as these games are played at such a pace but they seem to do ok (ish) for an hour then they unravel into a world of shit week in week out. He lost control of everything towards the end last night .

Great write up. I don’t remember LR as electric as that since maybe that run in under Hughes and the Liverpool game in particular.

It’s was just wonderful to part of as you say.
And we didn’t even win!!! Madness

"Look at the number of men we put in the penalty area now." This. Seems a sensible thing for a team to do when you're trying to score, yes? Incredible how we haven't been doing this for such a long time.

Read your report Clive and absolutely relived the whole night again. Which is not good news because I haven't recovered from living it all the first time!

Captured everything in there mate, well done and thank you.

It's Law 532 Clause 2. "Big, bald Swiss strikers who have missed a penalty must wait ten seconds before taking a throw-in." Fair play to Eltringham for his pedantry.

Brilliant and joyous write up Clive.

If it was a drama and you wrote the line...

and then in the last few minutes Steve Cook bicycle kicks the ball Trevor Sinclair style but an ex-R clears it from under the bar....

the execs would say, nah, re-write, none of that would ever happen... but it did.

Never knowingly right.

Fantastic. Love these reports when we play well and we get to re live those moments again but with your added observations, sense of humour and love for our club.

I'm not sure I can ever remember opposition fans almost unanimously praising us the way WBA fans have after not getting a win. Usually its all "they were rubbish but we were worse". Hugely encouraging to hear.

We should give out ratings for your match reports and this one hits the perfect 10.
You managed to capture the whole night beautifully and its been long over due for the fans who sat through the last 12 months of horrible performances and results .
How many times are we going to get screwed by officials its getting serious now almost like nobody likes us .
Still we just have to battle on and I think this team truly believe now that they can stay up which is just what the doctor ordered

I only got to watch snippets of the game whilst working, but oh my god it was so good and so frustrating. You’re right, what a weird unforgettable amazing team that has been quite possibly both the worst and best WBA has faced this season. And WTH that ref…and WTF that I love this team so much and love this team so much that in the dream of life QPR makes me feel alive. Ty, Clive for the excellent report

Steve cook bicycle kicks , Jimmy Dunne wrong foot crosses , Sam field potential hatrick , penalty miss. You couldn’t make this shit up.
What a club , what an exhilarating month , home and away , I’ve seen it all .
What a time to be alive.

'There’s a classy continental ten cutting about with flaxen-hair spilling across his shoulders, dictating the play and never giving the ball away, at the same time as a giant Irish centre back is having a banterous time down the right wing, Cruyff turning around bemused opponents. It shouldn’t work, but it does. The sublime and the ridiculous. The island of misfit toys. Mavericks and mainstays, with an innovator in the dugout'.

Jeez Clive... sheer poetry mate!

We were right underneath the handball incident and in all honesty we thought it was a nothing but an unbelievable save . So to a certain extent I have some sympathy with the ref.
As for the rest of his performance, it was woeful.
The Smyth shirt pulling incident was pathetic officiating from the ref and Lino. 4 yards in the case of the Lino and 10 in the case of the ref.
Abysmal.

Great report, which reflected one of our best recent performances. Interesting stuff too around changing your view on “the QPR way”. I agree with the sentiment, QPR isn’t just about a “play it on the deck style” it’s more than that - a collection of misfits, all playing to their max with a couple of Stanley type diamonds mixed in. Turning up, accepting no possession and trying to steal a point or 3 isn’t, and never will be the Rangers way. We take it to them on our patch, regardless of opposition.

great report Clive; hopefully the next one on Monday will be as hangover driven and positive.

this division is utterly mental and we fit right in!

A thought on the non penalty/play on just before Foelds first goal...

I thought Frey went down in Installments, too BUT... why did Palmer need extensive surgery on his head if he hadn't caught Freys heal? Maybe we are doing Frey a disservice?

Thankfully it doesn't matter...

Why stop now, just when I'm hating it
