Clown 🤡 |
thank you kind sir
lets all pile on me
we all allowed to have our own separate opinions
hopefully we not three nil down with 40 minutes play left on wednesday
half a stadium rushing for the exits once more, would be seriously not good
however i have been well and truly told, its fine and doesnt reflect badly on our fanbase at all
so will look up the early trains home !!
oh dear.. | |

You think that is pathetic, I symbolically left after 70 minutes of the stream. I made a cup of tea, realised I had nowhere else to go and watched the last 15 minutes anyway, but still. |  |

No ones piling on you for crying out loud.
You give an opinion then be prepared to have somebody have a different opinion.
You've initially called your fellow fans pathetic, WTF are you expecting In response? |  |

Leaving with 40 minutes to go with a faint possibility to get back in the game and a young team finding their way, and so far doing a decent job. Keep supporting the boys. We are doing well and it was a bad day at the office but we had periods in the game when we were decent.
No one on here is going to agree with me.
Am looking forward to going on Wednesday but if we are three nil down after 60 minutes then, hope there is not a mass exodus again.
Yes people can do this if they want. You pay your monies and can do what you like, but if we want our team to fight back, fans for me are often key in this, to pick the team up on a bad day and fans throwing in the towel early is noticed on the pitch. It doesn't help. |
Not sure what QPR ‘performance’ you watched in that 2nd half: we could’ve put 100 thousand Rangers fans in there all cheering at their loudest and the result would’ve been the same. |  | | |

I gone right off you Ted...
Won't resort down to your level though.
Good luck to you and all who sail in you.
Less of the anger misdirected at myself please. Just because of an opinion. Happy if people have different opinions myself though. [Post edited 2 Nov 22:50]

I was ready to leave but then Frey came on at 67 minutes. That’s the third time on the spin he’s replaced Kone and the third time he unfortunately has had minimal impact. |  | | |

It’s not just an opinion though is it?You insulted an awful lot of our fans by calling them pathetic.
I stayed until the bitter end,but a lot of others didn’t,and I can’t blame them.We never looked like getting 1 goal back let alone 3. |  | | |

I never leave before the end, but around 80 minutes it briefly stopped raining, we weren't making a come back and there was a limit to how much I wanted to spend more time watching Frey huff around or watch Ipswich players fall on the floor.
I'm always in favour of supporting the team, but sometimes you get the feeling you've read this book before |  | | |

It's not really a pile on, is it? you started a thread, with a fairly blunderbuss opinion with little nuance insulting people. Are people supposed to....not comment? This isn't a broadcast only medium | | | |

Out of interest as I was too young to remember the game on TV and wasn’t there- was there any sense at 4-1 at Port Vale that we were on top heading into the last 20 minutes and had a 1% chance of pulling it off? That’s what keeps me there at least until the board goes up in these situations, no matter how unlikely. | | | |

You do tend to start a new thread everytime you have a thought about something. And also if you call people “pathetic”, you’re asking for a reaction and you got one. Are you expecting people to say ”you’re right i am pathetic. Promise to stay all match next time”.
When I was younger I’d stay to the end….but now, unless my son wants to stay, I’ll leave when I want! | | | |

I can't take anymore of this.
It's caused myself some concerns and I can't really post on here, anymore, at this time, and i did say later on, poor rather than pathetic would be a better description and am sorry if people felt insulted by my terminology written in the heat of the moment after a disappointing game.
Best of luck | |

Yes well i obviously carried on attending like you do. A comment said in the heat of the moment
But many fans leaving on 64 minutes, because they have had enough and want go back to the pub is weird.
Sends a bad message to a young team and a young squad that has been decent. We werent terrible up to that point. Just poor goalkeeping and defending.
Expected a backlash on here because fans are called fans to back the boys when things arent going our way. And its never out fault ever.
it wasnt a good game but there was the opportunity to back the boys to get back some pride back on a bad day.
No dressing it up. Was poor from QPR fans today IMO.... [Post edited 1 Nov 18:02]

not a fan of legging it when its bad either , prob done it twice in 45 plus years myself but can u blame them after that on sat ? who saw the starting line up and thought this is gonna be a good in for us ? might be poor from some fans but was worse from the cosching team esp with a fully fit swuad aval to him , and a weeks prep time ! |  |

I was at Port Vale for the 4-4 draw. Unforgettable. I think it all happened it the last 10 minutes. The fans never gave up. I was a guest of one of their sponsors so I was in the directors box. I couldn't stop laughing at the end.
Hateley was doing one of his Max Wall impressions all afternoon. Useless lazy git, Vales' wingers tore the R's defence to pieces.
When Port Vale brought round sandwiches and drinks afterwards for the sponsors guests, they couldn't understand why I had big smile on my face.. The Vale players came in after getting changed and they looked shell shocked. I started to choke on the sandwiches with the giggles so I decided it was the right time to leave.
I giggled all the way home. I guess I'm paying for it now - after the performance last Saturday.
But that's why I'll never leave early - I've seen it once - it might happen again. [Post edited 3 Nov 10:42]

If I remember correctly ND, weren't you about a year ago getting all performative and declaring that "you had had enough of QPR and would stop going to home games". Yet now, you're criticising other fans for exercising their right to leave early when the outcome of the game was already determined after 64 minutes.
Entitled! [Post edited 1 Nov 17:51]

Exactly this the definition of hypocrisy plus Numpty you got so upset with people disagreeing and down voting about a year ago approx you said you won't post any more, definition of a Numpty.
Just about calmed down now from Saturday, tend to avoid posting right after a defeat, we left on 87 minutes what exactly was the point in staying any longer, the main reason we stayed that long was the forlorn hope that we could get a goal back and salvage a bit of respectability to the scoreline, no chance.
Picking Esquerdinha for the game was bizarre, had JS at all watched Ipswich play, reviewed some of there games maybe and seen Walle Egeli, he's quick and skilful, leaving RND on the bench was asking for trouble, he's an experienced defender who may well have stopped the cross for the first.
Ipswich have a good team they have paid a lot of money and for some reason we didn't give them the respect they were due maybe because they sat in a false position below us in the league table.
We managed to get ourselves back in the game in the first half and we looked as if we might get a point by half time, it was interesting to see the Ipswich team come out early for a warm up at half time, that's all down to McKennas half time talk and probably saying let's get at them quickly at the start and it worked. It just feels we are naive at the moment in so many areas but for that said if we had a better left back and goalkeeper we would probably have got a point out of the game, Southampton on Wednesday the team need to forget the result and focus on another very difficult game.

No sense at all apart from the fact that they're right back was 'going to pieces' so we all started singing ''sign Him up'' TBH the majority just sat In the stands thinking WTF am I doing here on a Sunday?
Our comeback started around the 84th minute, our second goal managed to make us/me think hang on a minute, I think It was a Paul Murray screamer. we were all over them, you start to think why the feck dont we play like this all the time, game Is almost over and loads of us had moved down the front of the stand, Jesus wept It's 4-3 and the away end has gone a bit man hug mental, I couldn't see where my eldest Lad ended up, lo and behold Danny Dichio only goes and equalises so were over the wall and on the pitch I notice my eldest Lad had been nabbed by a steward so we managed to un-nab him and climb back Into our end as best we could.
At 4-1 down Port Vale scored a perfectly good Fifth goal that was disallowed by a sympathetic referee.
We were 'done' at 4-1 the only thing we could cling to was they're right back was slowly going mad and losing his ability to play football.
There were Five of us In my car and at 4-1 down each and every Five of us had the same facial expression of desperation and loss. | |

Impey screamer for the second but a very nice finish from Murray for the third. 85 & 88. We could probably do another 100 years following this club (preferably not) and not do it again. | | | |

Andy Impey of course, my memory Is shocking now.
Whilst On the subject of leaving early, at Notts Forest ground one Saturday afternoon watching our players practicing how to pass to the opposition players, we were fortunately only 4-0 down circa 85th minute, I stand up and say f ck this and walk out and as I had another car full of blokes they had to come with me so they did.
As Five utterly miserable blokes approached my car there was a sort of muted/muffled goalscoring roar from the ground, we all sort stopped thinking we've only gone and scored.
Well we hadn't scored, they had as It was announced on the car radio, I suppose we'd managed to bore the Forest fans to the point that they might well have said to each other when we score again, try not to celebrate to loudly.
It's not the leaving of the ground early It's those long bloody journeys home, driving to an away ground with a full car load, full of expectation is a great craic, driving home after losing badly Is a bloody no-no.

I was at the 4-4 and also the 5-5 at home to Newcastle and the 3-3 up at Stockport.
The fundamental differences between the three games above and that which greeted many of us at the point of departing when we went 1-4 down on Saturday, was that we were still going forward and exuded the air of a team that somehow, hadn't given up in the 5-5, while in the other two games, the oppo self-imploded at the sheer might of the Rangers onslaught - which given how pony we often were at the time, was head scratching all round!
The 5-5 was unique as we could easily have been the team going in at HT four-up and you just knew Venables would get a response. At Port Vale, we were utter gash and nearly went five-down after the resumption. However, when we pulled one back, it suddenly went mental, they wilted and but for a finger-tip save at the end, Dichio nearly knicked it! As I recall the Stockport rebound, was predicated on a determination to remain on the front foot and you sensed we were somewhat perturbed at being three-down.
Looking back on Saturday, there seemed little response to going behind after the break, which only deepened as the game went on and a sense of utter resignation exuded from our chaps.
Suddenly, sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea watching England front up the Aussies seemed way more appealing than watching that limp and lame response from the Rangers.
Prison biyatches in Alabama don't go down as easy as we did in the second half on Saturday!
Edit...thank you Brian for pointing out my error. It was Mullery's team that came back from the death, not Venables'. [Post edited 3 Nov 17:09]

I wouldn't say we gave up on Saturday. But we made such a hash of the starting line-up and the starts to each half that we were never realistically going to get back into that, even if we had got our best 11 on the pitch immediately after we went 4-1 down. Ipswich were in control. Millwall too, in our previous home game. As has been stated on here, we kind of need to get things right from the start, not find our way during games. | | | |
