Was at the game tonight and Sinclair was a headache for the Italians for most of the game till he tired. Great play for the first, beat his man down the left wing and a nice pull back into a dangerous area. Pace and power in abundance. Deserved his goal albeit nothing spectacular.
He genuinely loves every minute, proud during the national anthem and really tries to get the fans going with his enthusiasm and celebrations.
I missed the scuffle at the end and just seen the aftermath but will be interested to see what actually happened. My mate who I was with said Sinclair chinned the Italian player. I think it was Gnotto from Leeds
St Swithun Wells - infants St Raphaels - Northolt - Primary School Salvatorian College - for 1 year before I moved back to Ireland.
Great times and my fondest football memories playing on both teams (along with Hayes End Wanderers at Barnhill). A number of Rs players (some first team but mostly youth) ended up coming from both schools during my time there (1988-94).
That red Corolla had around 10 QPR stickers on the back window keep an eye out. Others didnt understand my excitement when seeing it given how few and far between we are.
Do keep in touch sure and we can catch a match in town.
Think we may have spoke on here a number of years back. Are you living in Cork now then? I must literally pass your door everyday. Im living over near Anglesea street myself and was even closer last year as i was short term on the western road. Didn't realise you were so close we will have to catch a game.
You don't by any chance drive a red Corolla covered in QPR stickers? I saw this car out the straight road in recent months.
90% of the homeless issue in the City is due to substance abuse from what I see, if the root cause can be fixed, most probably have homes and families to go to.
While the sky fees have been the foundation of these astronomical wages etc this one for me is on the clubs and players. All fans should boycott matches based on this initial response, players are privileged to do what they do but they dont realise it as the money has poisoned it all. Only by fans voting with their feet(and your sky recommendation) do football club wages no longer become viable and the whole thing comes falling down. This would need to be a global movement however. Wage caps are the only solution globally in my opinion. This in turn will reduce the need for the astronomical TV money given(reducing sky fees) and therefore clubs can be run on a lot less while at the same time making it more competitive again.
In reality in 6 months nothing will change and Neymar will still get his €375k clapping bonus.
Completely agree Medway, Government should not have to prop up any premier league and most likely all Championship teams. The TV money received is more than adequate to sustain them. What Spurs did yesterday was embarrassing imo.
All premier league players should have their wages frozen without issue for the duration of this and income should be funnelled down to sustain the livelihood of lower league teams. Its disgusting if you ask me and really makes me fall out of love with football even more. Premier league players make an average of 70k and are now sitting at home playing fortnite and fifa 20 and loving it.
Just to update there is a pause button on the web portal now. Pretty seamless and they will apparently automatically resume it when the sport comes back on.
As someone from Cork who lives and works between Cork and Derry/Antrim the divide in people up here still is vast, Within a 500m drive from my house up here i will meet 6 Union Jacks and this is a predominately catholic town, these people will not go quietly. The hatred and divide is still part and parcel of daily life. The segregation and lack of integration even by the youngest of both sides is still very apparent. I was never here in the bad times but always feel a little tension in the air up north, maybe thats just me. To talk of a hassle free united Ireland however is very ambitious.
Similarly to the US and UK people wanted change and are tired of the old guard. The SF surge in the south is part due to change and part due to a romantic view of SF and a united Ireland. If there was a whole of Ireland referendum i have no doubt the result would be to unite but this would be made up of votes by many of my friends in Cork for example who share these romantic views yet have never stepped foot in the north nor will they after, they are having a say in something very alien to them, its an uneducated view and shows in the republican content they share around facebook etc but it is these people like my friends from Cork who would have a say on something they have never lived but listen to in Wolftones songs.
Very extreme views from yourself there MrSheen but cannot see that in the times we live in either, trying any of that would not only alienate Ireland from Europe but then alienate SF from the people again. Would most likely result then in history repeating itself and asking Britain for military assistance.
Agreed, was at a Bayern game a few years back and the atmosphere was amazing from start to finish. Only atmosphere that has topped that was a Boca game which is on a whole new level. The stadium actually shakes when they are chanting and jumping up and down.
A few weeks is an awful long time in football. After the first half with Millwall the superlatives were endless, fast forward another 2 weeks and Mclaren had lost the dressing room and Bhatia was TF-esque. A win tonight and all is rosey again. Gotta love being a QPR fan.
While im no rugby fan its sadly taking over from football/soccer in rural Ireland. In my town soccer comes a sad 4th in the pecking order of today's youth. GAA of course has the main pull and do their utmost to keep soccer down, there is more social pressure to play and be loyal to GAA of course which helps keep the numbers high and if there is any clash with matches and training GAA is always picked.
Lets not get too excited about Baptiste just yet. Yes he played well but lets see if its the same opinion in a month or so. I hope it is but have my doubts.
On the other hand Scowen is exactly what we have been looking for. They have unearthed a gem for us there. He allows Freeman and Luongo the freedom they need. He is everywhere and always there to assist the defence in terms of breaking up play and receiving the ball constantly off them and the foundation for the setup of attacking play. Very impressed with him and kudos to those involved in getting him to the club.
Back in the Uni days we had a Ulick Magee. Not too strange to some but where i'm from gee is another name for lady parts so was always great to see that poor fella.
Age is on Smithies side compared to the other good keepers in the league, What would you expect Wednesday to get for Westwood? Brum for Stockdale? Jakupovic went very cheap in comparison to some figures being branded about here but he is 5 years older then Smithies. Given the club we are and the fact he has not done this in the prem 5-7m would be the max we would get i expect despite our love for him and the important role he played and will play in keeping us in the division.
Mackie seems to be very impressed with Ebere Eze on his video diaries so maybe he will make an impact this year. Also mentioned how good Josh Bowler was so maybe they are trying to sweet talk him into staying. Taking him to Portugal would of been a good thing and a few of the older pros could of had a talk with him maybe.
Spoke to a policewomen I know who was there for the day and she said she sincerely hopes the numbers she was quoted as possible fatalities are not true. Very Very sad. Does anyone know if there is a need for voluntary work for this over the weekend?
Would love to stay at LR of course and this topic has been done to death but If we were to look into Ellerslie road at a guess them houses go for 2m+. Would one side of the road do? Would there be planning objections for those on the other side of the street? We do just need a stadium and not apartments and and hotels like others seem to be doing these days so a smaller space is feasible.
I want QPR to be there for my future offspring and relations to support. Ive just "forced" us on my two nephews at 3 and 5 who are now wearing their kits as much as possible into there creche/school in Cork :P (i'm sure it will make them tougher being QPR fans :P)
But in all seriousness this is a crucial time for us I feel. Keep going the way we are going and its not looking good. The training ground and stadium upgrades are essential to our survival considering what others are doing. I don't want us to be one of the sad stories of the future. I'm hoping the current owners can fulfill this, if not being a London club does make us attractive to other investors. Rich owners may abuse us but at the same time we need them to make this happen.
We might not like it but the move is inevitable for the future of the club I feel. Just looking at the below video shows how far behind we are falling (Brentford getting ahead of us in all areas now is a worry) . As romantic as LR is for us the big clubs are getting bigger and we are in danger of being cast into the shadows(not now but in 10-20 years). Being London based is our biggest attraction but also a downfall in terms of securing real estate to make this move as LR is not suitable. It has to be somewhere in the borough and the only option looks to be the LC stadium.
