I dunno. We're playing better than I expected. Not great, but not disgraceful either. One rather fortuitous goal line scramble is the only difference on the scoreboard. |

It was my first QPR match. My Dad was gifted tickets by a business acquaintance who usually gave him tickets to the Rugby League Cup Final. In '67 he got tickets for the League Cup Final instead. He wasn't interested so gave them to me. The rest is history... or something similar. |

True, and he deliberately played for them. He'd keep his foot on the ball in the penalty area and roll it around while defenders' boots came flying in from all directions. Eventually one of them would get pissed off and take him out. He'd just get up, grin, and put the ball on the penalty spot. |

You're not wrong.
I've long believed that, broadly speaking, there are two kinds of football fan. Those who desire "perfection": ie. the most skilled players playing on a pristine pitch, with rules that are constantly being tweaked to achieve an impossible degree of accuracy. You might, kindly, call them and their supporters, "Classicists."
The other kind of fan is happy to watch twenty-two ordinary-ish blokes doing their darndest to win a match on a muddy cow-patch in the pissing rain. They, the officials, and both sets fans love the game and accept occasional bad tackles and bizarre calls, because everyone involved is human, and human beings make mistakes. Perfection isn't a possibility. Let's just get on with the effing match! You might call them "Romantics," and I'm content to be one of them. |

I'm pretty much the same. I haven't watched a Premier League match for several seasons. I take in the highlights of the National League — especially as Boreham Wood are in with a shout this year, and track Hitchin Town's progress in the Southern League. But that's about it. I'm actually more excited about the start of the Vancouver Whitecaps season right now than I am the fag-end of the Championship. It's really very sad. |
