Indeed, as much as Friday is going to be one of the most memorable, that 26 Dec 1968 was probably the worst performance I'd seen at the time. Ron Springett looked, let's say unwell and I remember an orange being thrown at him, also the anguish on Ian Watson's face. I was also at the Friday evening defeat by Lids when the floodlights came on just in time for Mick Jones to barge in the winner - and didn't Bobby Keetch take the worst penalty of all time? But Friday was simply beyond our wildest dreams, pure magic and a super sometimes touching report Clive. Thank you |

I love it - got 4, 2 of which are QPR avids and who have both had the 1st matchday experience at LR.
Have had lots of time with all of them from babies through toddlers to young children - 2 of which are now teenagers. Great to get to the stage from their first words to longer sentences, trying to satisfy inquisitive minds through enjoyable discussions. |

Always remember my parents' false teeth in the glasses and Steradent. My dad only had one tooth when he was younger than I am now - it was a bit sad when that single tooth was aching and had to be removed.
I'm mid 70s and have a couple of molars missing, but otherwise all in good shape thanks probably to never having been a smoker, Mrs Hants' choice of healthy food and fluoride. I actually don't mind visits to my friendly NHS dentist where she takes good care of me.
My previous NHS dentist (in Hampshire) was a QPR fan, not the greatest practicioner, and conversation was a bit limited with him poking around inside my mouth, but my teeth seemed to survive under his care. |

That's a bummer! I was looking forward to going with young grandsons, so now a lonely, late Friday night trip. Also, Mrs Hants has already organised a theatre trip with a friend in my absence! F**k SKY |

I went through peaks and troughs of emotion today, but in the end, I was too made up ( modern expression) to care whether it was boring or sh1t URRRRS!!! |

If you or your partner/ mum/ Dad etc. haven't already found this app, I would issue a word of warning. Mrs Hants is now using it to check out all the tasty, unhealthy foods I used to enjoy and only getting those recommended that are free of sugar, calories, salt, fats etc. ...and sometimes, taste?
On the other hand, if that's important, and I guess it should be and is for many, it's a simple app that scans barcodes and provides all the information you need to buy healthy products. |

If/when I know we are safe, I will delight in the schadenfreude of such a choice. Until then, it's ABU |

Reply | Stan’s Greatest Game
at 07:59 3 Mar 2024
I was at that 3-3 game and especially remember one of Stan's goals when he feinted with his left and scored with a right foot shot. A stupid recollection from that game was a loud- mouthed neutral bloke near me declaring to all and sundry at the end, 'two very poor sides!'- made me think I'm a lousy judge as I had enjoyed the game, mistakes and fouls nonetheless. I think it was another game when I saw Mickey Droy nearly slice Stan in half with a waist- high tackle that went unpunished. [Post edited 3 Mar 8:02]

He was a respected ref as I recall, but was wrong to give Adel a 2nd yellow - he confessed he'd forgotten about the first yellow and should have given him a severe finger-wagging instead. |

slmrs...beat me to the link!
Anyway, I remember watching the first game so well as I saw it at my parents' flat (they had colour tv) and I had asked them if I could bring my friend to see it with me. 'Friend' was the future Mrs Hants, the first time she was to meet her future in-laws. Same again for this replay, when a couple of Mrs Hants' flat mates also joined this merry band to watch the carnage.
