Dave Thomas' grandad 'Ticer' Thomas was played by Dai Bradley (Casper in 'Kes') in the TV adaptation in 1982 'The World Cup - A Captain's Tale that was made of the Lipton Trophy tournament. Dennis Waterman starred in it. |

Petty accurate report Norf.......bottom line is that we gave them a game in the first half but they were still better than us, we faded in the 2nd and conceded 3 goals accordingly. Azaz is a proper decent player but their forward play was so positive & fast that it was difficult for us to deal with. Defensively both in midfield and the defenders were good too. Bottom line is that they were far too good for us generally and it would be tough for any of our players to get a regular start for this Saints team. |

That was a massive Madsen-sized hole in our midfield, especially without the option of moving Ronnie there. It didn’t help that Vale had one of his off days. Despite a lot of possession in good positions early on I can’t remember us delivering one decent cross from open play.That’s the difference in quality which teams like Saints and Boro have and we only have when our strongest 11 are fit ( joke , I know) |

Thanks Alex but you are wrong if you think it was the biggest punishment in football history. Take all emotion and club loyalty away for a moment and the question is:
What happens to a club that breaks the rules of a knockout tournament?
There is only one possible answer and I believe it has been consistently the case.....
EXPULSION. |

Get anything from this game and it will be a bonus.......what I want from the game is that the 'boys' work their socks off, get in Saints 'faces', get their tackles in, defend well and take our chances, (not asking for much!!) only then will we have a chance of getting something.
Cant see the Manager making many, if any, changes after the Swansea game, unless Cirkin gets a chance.....I would replace Vale & give Cirkin a run.
Come on urrrrr's |

That Sunday night challenge must be a dark cloud over your w/e when we lose (unless I guess you are so exercised you have much to get off your chest). But I imagine after a performance like Saturday's, a genuine joy to write. Great report. Loved the condom line (base tastes). |

I would liked to apologise to Mr Richard Kone. I had been so highly critical of him of late as the last couple of times we saw him, he looked no better than a geriatric retired has been footballer. I think about some of the great mysteries in life, the Bermuda Triangle, Marie Celeste, Amelia Earhart etc etc, which are all inexplicable. Then I now add to that list our redeemed and esteemed striker. How is it possible that almost in the blink of an eye he has gone from being utterly useless, to being utterly brilliant. Perhaps we will never know what has transpired in such a short space of time, but this has to be one of the greatest comebacks of a player we have ever seen at QPR. It was the perfect performance. 3 goals, superb hold up play, touch offs, passing. Everything you could want.
Now I turn my attention to Smythy. Has there ever been a player that gives so much in every game he plays. He was like a petulant nuisance to Swansea the whole time he was on the pitch. They just couldn’t cope with him. This was also an inspired and brilliant performance from a very likeable, and totally committed player. |

I find it very difficult to decide if QPR were 'proper' or the Swans were poor. Well Norf, you made my mind up by your first few paragraphs........we were 'proper good' for most of the match & Swansea could not cope.
I am glad you never got 'sucked in' giving Vale any more than a 6, he was pretty average and disappeared for long spells in the match, likewise Varane who had a tough start to the game giving the ball away and taking too long on the ball, the good news is that I thought he got better during the match and eventually moved the ball quicker & more accurately.
Right decision to side with Kone as MOM - a hat trick hero, I hope he continues in that form because he has been next to useless this season.
As for the Manager, I have given him some grief recently but 'fair play' to him & his team for getting his tactics right 10/10. Lets hope we can play like we did at Saints because it will be our toughest test this season. |

Yep I remember that Alan Wilks hat trick back in October 1967.
3rd round of the League Cup.
He actually scored all 5 goals in the 5-1 romp against Oxford.
Felt for the guy as he had to wear the NO,10 shirt as Rod was out injured for some time,
Alan took a lot of stick and to be fair he was not Rodney (there was-and always be- only one) but Alan will always be remembered for that night here at the Bush. |

Such a joy in the upper loft on Saturday. I feel Loftus Road is a happy place this season and at last might becoming a tough place to come for away teams. The whole team were excellent, so pleased for Kone to get his mojo back. What a signing Kamara has been and Paul Smyth is a real gem, along with Jimmy Dunne. |
