That was a beautiful tribute to your mum. Like others I’m choking up too. She sounded like a fantastic person and she will always be in your heart wherever you are. Condolences to you and yours at this sad time. |

Properly channelled the Spirit of Di Carmine!! (The only good thing that Samuel ever did for us!) Cements his place in QPR folk lore for that. |

RIP Stan the Man. Alas I too am too young to have seen him play live, but there is no doubt that he epitomised what makes our club the treasure it is. Condolences to his family and to those that knew him closely. Another lost to the great footie match in the sky. |

Really sad news. One of my favourite German players growing up. Lethal dead-ball expert with both feet (even without Paul Parker’s help!). Quite the playing career with league titles for 3 clubs as well as the World Cup.
RIP Weltmeister Andi. |

Condolences to you and yours Toast_R and may your mum Rest In Peace. As tough as this time is, and particularly that last 48 hours, you were there with her mate, you were there. It’s probably scant consolation right now, but you were able to be there for her and that would have meant the world.
Mind how you go. |

Fair play for holding your hand up re Ossie. I think you actually hit the nail on the head there in that with Cifuentes and now Calm, he’ll have had some proper coaching tailored to his skills and deficiencies. He’s a player I think you can coach “up” and as a result he, and others, will improve. [Post edited 12 Nov 2023 20:56]

I thought Ossie had a good game. Yes, he is a limited player, but there were lots of positives. He made plenty of good tackles, generally passed it about well and there were good bits of inter-play developing between him and Smyth. Yes he got in the way of Smyth’s shot in the 2nd half, but he put in some decent crosses - the one he completely fluffed I actually thought was pretty tricky as the ball was running away from him and he couldn’t quite get his body round it.
He was always showing for the ball, and didn’t shirk his challenges. From his abilities, not sure what more we can expect?!
Reminds me a bit of Peter Ramage in that he was never going to be the best player in the world, but you knew you’d get an honest shift from him. Rather that than the Joel Lynches of this world who could have been better, but would just ring in a performance, assuming they bothered to show up. |

I’ve been sitting on this for a while, and I’m sure better wordsmiths than me can improve this, but here’s my effort. It’s to the tune of Ewan Macoll’s Dirty Old Town, as I think the name Ilias Chair tracks well with it:
He’s five foot four
Of Moroccan soul,
He’s got skills
And an eye for goal.
With magic feet,
And Moroccan flair,
Ilias Chair, Ilias Chair
He might be small,
But he’s big of heart.
With one pass,
He’ll tear you apart (like what I did there!)
Wears Hoops with pride
And we know that he cares,
Ilias Chair, Ilias Chair
Whether it makes the terraces or not, there you go!! |

I always thought it was Elmer Bernstein, as the closing sequence is very much like the Great Escape. But a Google search reveals it was Bill Conti, composer of the music for the Rocky films, and you’re right Colin, he does “borrow” heavily from Shostakovich. I think it is acknowledged that he did this so unlike what was levelled at Ed Sheeran, it’s more like using a sample, I guess. [Post edited 6 May 2023 23:53]

Always love the mass breakout at the end - a steady stream of flared jeans, t-shirts, brown leather jackets and long hair!! |
