British and Irish Lions 2025
at 08:49 7 Jul 2025

Hadn't seen a thread on this - looking forward to the Tests, I've been getting in the mood watching the various Living With Lions documentaries they've got on Sky that cover previous tours; just finished the 2001 one (felt Lions could have won that tour but possibly were undone by self-harm with the controversial press articles that came out from Dawson and Healey). On to the 2005 one, where BOD got taken out of the tour by that spear tackle in the first minute of the 1st Test

Even with all my French studies I still had to double check the correct pronunciation!

RIP to the Bradford 56
at 09:22 13 May 2025

It was the 40th anniversary of the fire at Valley Parade over the weekend.

There was a good documentary about it on BBC2 on Sunday night, worth catching it if you can.

One interesting point, during the Popplewell inquiry after the fire, it was made clear its purpose was to make things better in sports stadia, rather than apportion blame. And while the fire was tragic, it's clear that decades of mismanagement by the football authorities and owners of the football club led to the events of that day, something that could have been avoided. But back then, football supporters were very much second class citizens. So while the documentary was good, it did seem to skirt around that topic.

What I didn't realise is that in years prior to Bradford other football stadiums had had fires (thankfully not fatal), one of them at Griffin Park in 1983.

Lionesses last night
at 10:07 27 Feb 2025

Our youngest's football club was offering free tickets for the match last night at Wembley so I took him along.

Hadn't been before for a Lionesses game but we really enjoyed it - atmosphere much more chilled and less aggy than for mens' matches. The game itself took a little while to get going but once it did it was really good; Spain probably still wondering how they lost given all the chances to score they passed up.

Also given the smaller crowds (well, 46,000...), getting back to Wembley Park was a doddle and we were on the Jubilee line by 10.10.

We'll definitely be coming back!

Confidence high amongst the Rs, but for whatever reason the Owls always provide tough opposition.

I'll take a point now.

Alright Connell you made me do this!

Pretty sure my record on these is not great so I think this is a bit of a free hit, post Plymouth trek.

I'll take a point now.

Thanks and sorry in advance.

SACK THE BOARD

Nothing will change till we have new owners who can actually make informed decisions about football without being taken in by chancers every single time.

I know being QPR we'll probably end up with even more incompetent/money grabbing loons; but we can't carry on with this lot.

Wasn't it Gab Sutton who predicted them to win the Championship this season?

Wondered what has changed since last season. Or is it one of those rare periods that football clubs have, where they actually appoint a decent manager who gets to work with some decent players?

Camping
at 12:28 20 May 2024

Our annual bank holiday weekend camping trip is coming up and once again I find myself psyching myself up to put myself through it!

To be honest once we're there and everything is set up it's usually quite nice as long as the weather is dry. It's just the preparation/packing the car/getting the tent up and down which I find a total ballache.

Any tips or tricks suggested to make it bearable/enjoyable? Other than not going...

Supporting QPR businesses

Deluxe Coffeeworks on Shepherds Bush Rd opposite the police station. I saw it walking up from Hammersmith station on the way to a meeting.

Nice little coffee bar, I clocked the QPR badge on their machine. Turns out the place is run by a bunch of QPR fans from the local area, young guys. Decent coffee - give them a try.

In Radlett of all places. Had a bit of a QPR natter.

Seemed very nice (not evil).

Likes Marti. Told me that a year ago his break clause would have cost us a million quid, can see why we didn't bother at that stage. Shame

Club standards / media training??
at 11:15 2 Jan 2024

Smyth by no means the worst of our sorry bunch of players but his tweet yesterday evening was totally tone deaf.



Yes Paul so pleased you scored - care to mention any disappointment about yet another defeat??

Don't the players get any guidance from the club about what may or may not be sensible to post on social media after a defeat?

Feels like losing is totally acceptable, and, oh don't worry as there'll be another game (defeat) soon. Where's the contrition and desire to put things right?

I'm fkin sick of 'going again'!

New owners...when?
at 10:41 28 Dec 2023

I might be going mad but didn't Hoos say a few weeks ago that the current owners are looking for a buyer?

Don't suppose much will happen over this period (unless some billionaire had too much Xmas brandy and thinks we're worth a punt).

But I'd like to think a new owner announcement might give the club a boost - probably won't change the players into world beaters though

I know we all go on about it like it was some mythical virtual open goal that would have won us the play off final - but does anyone have any video evidence of it?

I've looked at the various highlights clips on YouTube, but none of them include it.

Did it ever actually exist??
