i angrily slammed shut the lid of my lap top when their second gift goal went in and decided it would be more fun to watch Boris lock us all up for a month. Bloody Boris was late, so I turned the TV over to hear that we were winning with a wonder goal I never saw. Love this bloody team. |  | |  |

Thanks Clive. Entertaining report.
On the last day of the month we went from having a one horse race for goal of the month, to a serious competition with 3 contenders for goal of the season! |  | | |

Dunno who, but someone said on here the other day that he 'was not a Clive fanboy.'
But then, he hadn't read the build-up paragraphs to the description of Dom Ball's goal, had he? |  |

I think I was probably just so incredulous with his penalty that I hammered him a bit with the mark. |  | | |

Great report as usual Clive, good to see Chair mom, always hoped he would shine, some consistency from him and the others might quell some of the mutterings against MW. |  | | |

Great report and some great lines.
But added time is ALWAYS the MINIMUM and we had our goal celeb and two subs in added time so another 2 - he played 7 btw - perfectly fine.
Agree about Vaulks yellow card though. | | | |

Thanks Clive great work recently through our troubles and now a reward.
I believe that the booking for Chair was that he 'lifted the shirt over his head'. I'm sure I read somewhere that is the latest instruction. I think he put the front of it so that it was on the back of his neck.
Pinner, can you concur? | | | |

Lovely stuff.
Surprised to see the forum so quiet - on Thursday morning the place was full of people making individual threads to express their disgust and here we've beaten a rival with an injury time blooter and it's silent hmmm [Post edited 2 Nov 2020 11:59]

- removing the shirt or covering the head with the shirt
is what the law says, so maybe by the letter of the law could have avoided giving a yellow card for that, although most referees would.
Completely unnecessary law IMHO, but that's not the the referees' fault! | | | |

Always the way - which is why print and online headlines are almost universally negative - we just seem to be drawn to reading bad news! | | | |

I guess it's there to stop
a) messages on shirts that could incite a crowd, or controversial political statements (think Robbie Fowler once had a political message on his which was maybe why they brought it in, something about Liverpool dockers?)
b) time wasting
There's already a time wasting yellow card rule, so no need for this, and there's no crowd to incite atm. The rule, and the application of it at the weekend, just felt completely unnecessary.
been back and checked the full 90 on the offish and you;'re right, he plays 97, so I've edited that line out of fairness. BBC MBM run down had it as 98. | | | |

You're always going to get a stronger reaction from a defeat than a win, it's just the way of it.
But I do think there are one or two QPR fans - and this is more of a Twitter and Facebook problem than one on here, though it's certainly still a thing here - have entrenched themselves so deep into their point of view that the club is abysmally run, Ferdinand is an idiot, Hoos is an idiot, the whole thing is a disaster, Warburton is crap, we're going to League One that they can't bring themselves to give some credit when it is due, and when it goes badly like it did at Barnsley there's almost a rabid joy in their "SEE, SEE, TOLD YOU, SEE, DIDN'T I TELL YOU, LOOK HOW FCKING SHT WE ARE, LOOK, SEE, SEE, LOOK, SEE".
There's one particular Twitter account spends literally every hour of every day of every week talking about how awful QPR are. About four days before the match he'll start Tweeting his score prediction, which is always a defeat. He'll reply to multiple other accounts saying we're definitely losing this, definitely losing for sure, 3-0 Cardiff, probably won't even have a shot. Anybody predicting anything marginally better than a 3-0 Cardiff win is a "happy clapper" or "kidding themselves" or "deluded". Not unusual in a week to see 40-50 posts from him, all talking about how sht we are, and how much we're going to lose by at the weekend. If we do win, you'll get maybe one or two posts about how delighted he is really, how nobody is happier than him to be wrong, and then it's straight on with talking about how many we're going to lose the next game by. His only reaction to Dominic Ball scoring a last minute winner from 25 yards out with his left foot on Saturday was "papered over the cracks".
I mean, we all wonder why we do it to ourselves, but seriously, genuinely, why is he fcking doing it to himself? | | | |

I think the same. It's dangerous to attempt to read minds but if it's not that - consciously or otherwise - then they truly are deeply unhappy. | |

I went completely "I don't believe it" Victor Meldrew when they equalized, switched everything of and went outside moaning like a maniac at anybody who'd listen.
Eventually went back indoors and my mobile rang.
It was my youngest lad, he told me that his mate in Scotland who's a Glasgow Rangers ST fan had just rung him to say your old Dad is probably going berserk so you should ring him and tell him that they've scored again, I thought he meant bloody Cardiff but no it was us who had scored again, switched everything thing back on again to confirm and suddenly became the nicest person in South Oxfordshire albeit nervously watching the additional time tick down.
People moan this country has professional moaners now, I criticize as good as the best of them if I think it's justified. |  |

This is the thing. I’m sure people would get a lot more positive if we could manage a bit more than ‘one win on the run’.
There’s also that slightly subdued effect of not being able to be at these games we are all suffering and needs to be factored in. |  | | |

Great report.
"Bright Osayi-Samuel contract chess moved bishop to knight two, returning him to the starting line up." particularly cheered me on an otherwise dreary monday.
P.S. acceptable reactions to Dom Ball (DOM BALL) scoring from 25 yards out with his left foot in the 91st minute:
Unbridled Joy.
End of list. |  | | |

I thought good report and fair ratings. Agree with Chair as MOM but thought BOS was very good as well and thought Carroll was better, that ball to get Albert in behind for the first was high quality.
In terms of the ref, he's one of the worst.. The foul on Bright when we were on the break... Nipped to the fridge for a beer after he’d been taken out while the inevitable booking took place. It was only after the game I found out there wasn’t one. As blatant a yellow card as you’ll see. Laughable performance from him but the worst thing is, going on his own ability, he was probably slightly above par/average which just goes to show what he can be like when he has a stinker. Pathetic referee, one of the worst around and how he acts on the pitch is as irritating as f*ck. I hope we don’t have him again this season. | | | |

Many of us watch on small laptops/ pads w.h.y but I enjoy watching on an AIO PC with 23" screen. The picture ought to be in absolutely clear definition and indeed it is very good for close-up shots, but when the operational camera is in the stands and something critical is happening that needs a wider field of view, e.g. a goal attempt, I am dependent on watching players' reactions and wild emotional commentary to realise that the ball has actually hit the net ...or not. Otherwise, although only for a split second or two, I have to make an intuitive leap before deciding whether to tear off my shirt, leap around the room and swing from the chandeliers in celebration. In short, the streamed picture isn't always that clear to me, do others share this experience? |  | | |

ts like that pretty much on my laptop to be honest. Its very clear in some ways but has a tiny amount of jumpyness which makes following the ball tough. definitely took me a second to realise Kane hadn't skied the ball for his goal as i had no idea where the ball was. | | | |

I plug my laptop into the TV with an HDMI lead. The stream is very good on the whole. I have had to adjust the TV screen mode once or twice because it was too dark or bright.
I do struggle a bit with crosses as they have a white banner covering the seats behind the goal and the ball gets lost against it. | | | |
