True, but I still feel he should "feel the burn", rather than everyone just take the easy option.


Haha quite!

Of course the thing is he/she/it adheres to such high standards which sadly none of us mere mortals could ever attain

Nasty, agro, horrible. All the things this club has lacked for the past decade or more. And I loved it.

I loved it because you can actually start to build something with that attitude and character. It was a disgusting game to watch, but it does show we can be a nasty bunch.

The other thing not really mentioned is how well QPR kept their shape for 90 odd minutes and restricted Stoke to naff all. Kudos for Stephan.

What a load of absolute overexaggerated garbage!

Last time I looked, you don't get awarded points for "artistic merit" in this or any other league.

The manager came up with a game plan that made most sense, given the limited resources he had available, and if we'd done better with the few attacking chances we had, we might well have burgled a win.

Doesn't sound much like a reason to go "nuclear" on the club to me. Far better that we smuggled a point than lost all three - its really as simple as that.

Have you ever thought about relocating to Barcelona? I suspect you'd be far happier and the rest of us could live in peace.


Your metaphors give you away. If you want to see football as 'burglary' and associated bullcr*p, you're the one talking garbage, you rude bore. As usual, it's not so much what's said on here, so much as who's saying it.

Good, accurate, report, which more or less eloquently amplifies (with a bit more balance than I'm capable of) my own posts about the game, including the data.

The ref was in his own world, but had little or nothing to do with how bad a spectacle it was, however.

Personally, I'd rather see us bummed in the gob 3-0 playing the game as it should be played than that turd of a 0-0 that should bring an F A charge for bringing football into disrepute. There are many stopping points when it comes to finding a balance between resilience and watchability. This was off the scale by any metric. It made the worst of Ainsworthball look like Pepball.

I'm still ashamed, and, if we play anything like that at Oxford, we deserve to get obliterated - and, (not) sorry, I'll view it as a blessing.

A bit ridiculous to say the manager had a game plan. If that was his game plan he wouldn’t have played 2 up top.

With all their pressure one error, unlucky bounce and we concede. Then the perspective might be clearer.


I don’t think his game plan included his entire front four being unable to pass the ball at all to another player in pink and black.

If they had then the whole thing might have worked. Remember he’s hardly seen Kolli play. He’s only played the equivalent of just over three matches this season and scored two goals in his last Championship outing. This is the first time he’s seen him in a back to goal kind of situation. We know Martí tried this last season and it didn’t work then and it’s probably (hopefully) clear to Stephan that it won’t work now.

JS said in his interview that he’s sorted the back out and now needs to get the front end working at the same time. I guess you can at least draw if you don’t let any in.

You're an idiot. I want QPR to win every single time. And how long have you been a supporter again?

However, I don't want to see QPR, or anyone, win - or even draw - by playing in a way that, in my opinion, and not only my opinion, brings the game into disrepute. I'm a little old-fahioned that way. Mark Robins is right - it's shameful how any team is allowed to get away with playing like that. And our manager is a smiling cynic who should be given the bird - and, if I had my way, the sack.

The game of football transcends QPR. Otherwise, it's the madness of the White House - do what's right for the US, and screw everything/everyone else - decency, international law etc etc. Which I guess you're probably happy with by the same logic.

I don’t have any facts or stats to support this, purely the eyeball test. It seems as though teams have worked out that stopping Madsen playing is key to stifling us. Our front 2 get some criticism but for me the biggest let down over the last few games has been our wide players. They don’t seem to really get in the game and take on teams offensively and I’m not convinced by some of their defensive output. I’d like to see them showing more and giving options to take some of the pressure off.

I may be an idiot in your eyes. No problem with being called names by you.

However, you did write:

"Personally, I'd rather see us bummed in the gob 3-0 playing the game as it should be played."

And

"If we play anything like that at Oxford, we deserve to get obliterated - and, (not) sorry, I'll view it as a blessing."

Which reads very much like you do not in fact "want QPR to win every single time." It reads like you'd view it as "a blessing to get obliterated" tomorrow night if the terms of your conditions are not met.

How long have I been a supporter? You've asked this already. 50 years next month.

My support manifests itself by buying a season ticket, with money that the club can then use, going to matches, applauding, encouraging the team in song, abusing the away team, going away, mooning the opposition fans, etc. Generally offering tangible, unwavering, loyal support of the club, as per the description 'supporter'.

How does your support manifest?

Historically, since 1976, by holding season tickets home and away, writing for club magazines (and now extensively for/on LfW), communicating with the club on a wide variety of issues, and caring deeply about everything we do and don't do. In short, through my passion.

By demanding standards, expecting us to play the game the right way (in the traditions of the club), and refusing (and calling out) bullsh*t, cynicism and lies. As I say, I'm old-fashioned that way.

By bringing in friends (as I did earlier this season), at my expense, to LR, on the occasions I'm rarely in the UK and able to do so.

And, basically, by standing up for being the kind of supporter I am and want to be, i.e. by having values.

Hope that helps.

PS I like your use of the word 'intangible'. A lot of fan love is.

No dog in this fight but surely if we got 'bummed in the gob 3-0 playing the game as it should be played', it could reasonably argued that this was not, in fact, the way the game should be played?

Sounds an awful lot like the Russell Martin perspective here: 'whaddya mean we're shite? We played the right way...'

Or Ange Postecoglu: 'Whaddya mean 17th? We won a cup...'

Or Rueben Amorim: 'No, it's 3-4-fckin-3...'

'What do we want? We don't know! When do we want it? Now!'

Alright, a point and a clean sheet away from home is always welcome, but not like that, not like that.
Fingers crossed we play football at the Kassam on Tuesday night.

Why wouldn't the manager and players do it all again the same way tomorrow night? They've road-tested their 'game plan', and apparently it's OK - and even commendable - with at least some supporters. If they do, I hope Oxford win playing the game the right way, as I don't want QPR to win (even though I do) if it means murdering the game.

The trouble is, if we're not pragmatic when key players are out, and consequently clock up a load of defeats, by the time they are available again, we'll be doomed to yet another mid-table finish. Or - gulp - even worse .

"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."
