Comment | Does Mackie sale tally with QPR’s ‘right sort’ rhetoric?

The move that epitomized him for me was home to Arsenal last season.
When he ran at Vermaelen he did so with no tricks and flicks, just pure athleticism and desire. Eventually Vermaelen couldn't cope with it and he went to ground as Mackie cut into the box, most players would have left a trailing leg and won a penalty, which was sorely needed at 1-1, but Mackie stayed on his feet, looked up and picked out Diakite who smashed home the winner.
The 2-1 v Arsenal was arguably our best performance of our recent stint in the Premier League. Mackie was often criticised for not going down under challenges and winning free kicks and penalties. it was so great to see his honesty rewarded in such a big way.
Goals v Man U, Man City and Liverpool. An assist v Arsenal. As Neil said he was a big game player.
Very sad to see him go. And a perfect example of the problems with our club. A manager who isn't 100% committed and looking for a quick fix coupled with a board that, for all the best will in the world, haven't got a clue how to run a football club |
