Match Day Thread Burnley vs QPR

This is a thoroughly good read. I recommend it to everyone, especially after having had to endure so many despondent reports over the last few months.

I particularly liked this nugget:
Dickie’s third brave headed clearance of a goalbound shot of the day comes four minutes before half time – the league have taken pity, we’re being allowed to play with a second goalkeeper.

So true:
The tone for the second half is set before the second half begins. QPR are late out. One wonders whether there’s been a Great Escape-style debate about a tunnelling expedition of some sort. Gareth Ainsworth comes out last of all, dressed like a walking midlife crisis.

I wish i'd been there:
Those of us actually there amongst it will stay, forever this way, on the off chance something like this happens. It’s been a long time between drinks, but it’s a hell of a drink when it finally hits once more.

Credit to the 511 fans who made the round trip - you should all be proud of yourselves for keeping the faith just when so many of us had given up the ghost. I'm not saying we'll ever change our allegiance - that's preposterous - but drive 250 miles to watch another league defeat? Not on this occasion! Well i wish i had.

Come on your R's !!

 

Who doesn't like a bit of Nick and Andy when we win?

 

One tiny little thing from Saturday, I take it now that it's now not an obligation to have both feet on the ground when taking a throw in? If it is then I'm not sure how Laird got away with having his trailing foot about a foot of the ground when doing his long throw for the first goal............ Not that I care, but has there been a law change?

 

Ssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

Didn't have Radiohead references on my bingo card this week but I'll take it.

 

Thanks Trammers. Can't get enough of this!
What about Armstrong after the Martin goal and at the end pumping up the our away crowd and waving the QPR ensign.
Hope we keep him in Hoops and he plays more minutes next year.
Absolute Champion!!!

 

Clive in his element there, cracking stuff...
