What a pity 09:23 - May 22 with 5835 views | kingo | Our good friend Peter Gilham on behalf of Brentford, threw his support behind SWF and congratulated them on keeping QPR out of Hounslow, only for us to announce the new training ground is at Heston, in guess where? Love it. | |
| RIP: Sniffer, Doug and Pat |

What a pity on 11:57 - May 22 with 3882 views | kingo | With the knowledge that QPR have provided International players, been to Wembley, played in Europe and been in the top divisions for a big part of his life | |

What a pity on 12:08 - May 22 with 3859 views | stowmarketrange | I know they’ve been to Wembley at least twice.Once in the freight rover trophy against Wigan and lost.Also the league one playoff final against Yeovil and lost that too. You’re right about the other things though. | | | |
What a pity on 12:38 - May 22 with 3798 views | slmrstid | Whilst we can all chuckle and joke about our football rivals sometimes, I don't get how people can let it become an all consuming part of their life. There really is more to life than just football, and that's not just a Covid related soundbite, even before all of this, there really is more to life than 3pm on a Saturday afternoon. How sad... | | | |
What a pity on 12:43 - May 22 with 3778 views | TacticalR | I am not sure if there is anything more important than football, but I am sure there are more important things than Brentford. | |

What a pity on 12:44 - May 22 with 3773 views | Northernr | although as it turns out, all the rest of it is pretty dull. | | | |
What a pity on 15:01 - May 22 with 3580 views | francisbowles | Try telling Mr Gilham. | | | |
What a pity on 15:09 - May 22 with 3558 views | kensalriser | Does anyone really give a crap about other clubs? I've always regarded the hatred for other clubs as all a bit pantomime. I mean, sure, I always like to see Chelsea lose and ManYoo's fall from grace has been quite entertaining. But in the end I would still much have preferred not to lose that game at Man City. | |

What a pity on 15:10 - May 22 with 3555 views | qpr_1968 | got a good song for Gilham next time we play Brentford. very similar to what millwall sing about Holloway. | |

What a pity on 15:21 - May 22 with 3520 views | BrianMcCarthy | I agree, kensal. There are clubs I love to see fail but it's always because of other factors:- Chelsea - racists Franchise - clubkillers Millwall - racists, violent Luton - violent Glasgow Rangers and Celtic - sectarian But if a club isn't racist, violent or Franchise FC then when they beat us I don't think about them. I think about us, and how we can improve. That lad is a sad case, no more and no less. But Brentford don't register with me because they're not any of the above, and we have no real history with them. | |

What a pity on 15:39 - May 22 with 3489 views | flynnbo | General Melchett said the following about Brentford: “I’ve come to regard you as a sort of son. not a favourite son, obviously; more an illegitimate backstairs kind of sprog, who nobody really likes’ | | | |
Local rivals on 16:05 - May 22 with 3442 views | Runner14 | I think it all depends on your generation. If you supported the Rangers in the 50's & 60's Brentford were the enemy...no doubt about that & then we kind of forgot about 'em for 45 years . Now they're back with a much better team than us ...bastards! | | | |
What a Pity! on 16:16 - May 22 with 3399 views | BrianMcCarthy | Well I'm 49 and I don't think they're bastards. Now, Chelsea..... | |

What a pity on 17:08 - May 22 with 3330 views | ParkRoyalR | Fairly sure my 1st ever away game was at Kenilworth Road and kick-off was delayed due to trouble started by Rangers fans. Think that particular rivalry was instigated by us in the late 70's / early 80's era and there's a reason that type of rivalry is with us rather than say Fulham or Brentford. | | | |
What a pity on 17:10 - May 22 with 3324 views | kingo | To be honest, it is not about hating Brentford. It is to do with Gilham’s hatred of us, and his constant petty posts and actions, that have left him with egg on his face. As they say, he who laughs last, laughs loudest. | |

What a pity on 18:12 - May 22 with 3234 views | davman | ... and let's not forget Arnold Rimmer, who said "over the years I've known you, I've come to regard you as people I've met"... | |

What a pity on 20:28 - May 22 with 3108 views | Dorse | Every time I hear about this guy, I just imagine him sitting alone in the corner of a flat-roofed pub during the day, muttering angrily whilst clutching a half of mild. | |

What a pity on 21:56 - May 22 with 3040 views | qprxtc | I quite like that he’s so anti Rangers. I like Brentford, I can’t dislike them at all even tough they don’t like us. Love the pubs there and it’s funny to get up Gilham and short, small, little, tiny Dave Lanes hooters. These past 55 years must have been absolute torture for Gilham, so he can have his few moments. It’s weird that when WW2 broke out Brentford were in Division One and doing very nicely. Now they’re doing quite nicely and another worldwide disaster has occurred. Gotta larf incha. | | | |

What a pity on 23:18 - May 22 with 2924 views | stowmarketrange | I worked with a bloke that always blamed Hitler for Brentford’s demise.He used to bore me to tears with his crap about the bees.Lucky I haven’t seen him for 16 years because he’d be even worse now they’re better than us. | | | |
What a pity on 23:45 - May 22 with 2894 views | CiderwithRsie | Blimey, there's a thread about whether or not we are obsessed with being cursed, thinking that Hitler invaded Poland to screw Brentford is taking it to a whole new level. | | | |
What a pity on 00:23 - May 23 with 2866 views | distortR | Who knew, eh? My wife was doing some care work for an upper class woman recently, a real character, she described hitler as a 'frightful nuisance'. | | | |
What a pity on 00:44 - May 23 with 2845 views | timcocking | Indeed. | | | |
What a pity on 12:07 - May 23 with 2749 views | SonofNorfolt | Many of us would watch Brentford now and then when Rangers weren't playing. I checked on the big games I went to. Freight Rover Final '85 v Wigan @Wembley Football League Trophy '91 v Birmingham @Griffin Park Play Off Sf '91 v Tranmere @Prenton Park Relegation Match '93 v Bristol City @Ashton Gate Play Off Final '97 v Crewe @Wembley (Danny Murphy ran the match) Play Off Final '02 v Stoke @Millenium Do you know what? They lost the lot. | | | |
