| Cabinet Minister in the Lower Loft on Saturday !! 19:45 - Nov 25 with 9183 views | philbozz |
My son and I were sitting next to Michael Gove on Saturday afternoon.
Fair play to the guy, I'm sure he could have sat somewhere in the posh seats, but he was behind the goal with his son and a few of his sons friends.
So whether one likes his politics or not (and I definitely don't, especially as my wife is a teacher who works 60 hours a week +), he was just a normal bloke, who was enjoying watching the R's with his son, wearing an old dog eared QPR scarf!
He jumped up and went as mad as the rest of us when Charlie Austin scored, we had a great view - he obviously wasn't a newcomer to football, he was very in tune with the game, clapping great tackles (Richard Dunne) and joined in a bit with the tiny bit of occasional chanting and clapped AJ when he came out for a warm up.
He almost made me think he was a good guy, until I saw him on Sunday morning on the Andrew Marr show, changed out of his jeans and back into the politicians suit (on a Sunday morning - what's that all about!)
Still - fair enough, on a Saturday afternoon he was an R's supporter, just like the rest of us!! |  | | |  |

I guess every cloud has a silver lining.
Gove is the only Tory politician that makes me think very seriously about joining the Labour party. So many good ideas to recreate the Education system of the 1950s, when 75% of pupils were written off at 11. Every time he opens his mouth I think there is a village somewhere missing an essential character. |  |

Yeah as against almost 100% being written off at 11 now, if you exclude public schools. |  | | |

He wasn't in his normal seat then, he sits in row L behind the goal, to be fair he hardly ever goes. |  | | |

I think one of his kids may have been a mascot on saturday as he walked down the touchline just before kick off. Unless he was giving the team talk "Remember lads, we're all in this together" |  | | |

Absolutely! Makes the world an interesting place, would be boring otherwise.
I'm sure it's the same at every other club.
I work with a few people I really like, get on with etc except for one thing..... they support Chelsea. |  | | |

Was speaking to him at an event a couple of years ago, after I saw him at LR. He goes because his son wanted to become a football fan, and had asked if they could go to Chelsea. Even Gove drew the line at Chelsea, and started taking him to LR. |  | | |

Fair post, I actually think he is one of the bravest ministers in recent times, prepared to make changes that are controversial but at least he is prepared to change things as our education sucks with no accountability for teachers, I know as my wife is one too. 17 sackings in 10 years in the entire country says it all. The teachers don't like change and that is why nearly all of them moan. There is also a very socialist mentality in schools so they will always hate the Tories. Gove gets my vote and the fact he is a Ranger makes him an even better bloke. | | | |

A season ticket holder he may be, but as I reported on an earlier threada(that Fulham picture) I witnessed him making a right naus of operating the turnstile shortly before kickoff v Derby.

I should have said when I posted this, that I live in one of the safest Tory seats in the country but have never voted Tory in a General Election, so I'm not in the same political sphere as Gove! He did have the common touch though, a Pukka pie at half time !!
Anyway, on Saturday afternoon, he was a normal proud Dad as his son had just been mascot at QPR.
I remembered the same feeling 9 years ago when my son was mascot, we scraped a 1.0 at home to Cardiff, slimy Sam gave all the QPR mascots a fiver and told them to kick the QPR players - what a nice bloke (not!) | | | |

He just wants to bring his boy to football on a Saturday so they can enjoy supporting their team together as a normal father and son.
Amazed he doesn't sit in exec seats, or go to Fulham.
I bet he takes some abuse in the Loft judging by the moronic comments above. |  |
