So sorry to hear this Charlie. Your Dad was one of a kind on here. The Daddy/Grandaddy of this board if you like. When Ted spoke, you listened!
My thoughts are with you and yours at this time.
As a side note, I've often thought about what happened to you as not seen you on here for years, so I'm pleaseed to hear that you're still around and doing well. And hopefully your recent visit to "The Church" with your daughters has made you fall back in love with the R's again. We're a million miles away from that Redknapp era now...
Are there any members of the Norwegian R's on here? (QPROslo?)
Only asking as whilst watching the stream for the West Ham game, Tyler said that Sints wasn't with him as he was in Norway watching the game with the Norwegian R's! Just interested to know how it came about and if there's any videos or photo's from the evening/weekend that could be shared?
Worked in the Media team. Doing lots of pre/post match interviews. Programme notes.
I know through a mutual friend many years ago.
I was trying to get in touch with the club about a couple of issues that weren't getting resolved. So I contacted Matt directly to help (even though it wasn't in his role to do so), and it got sorted within a day!
100% this. Made an impression on me that game too. The flick on by big Matt Smith on the halfway line, Smythy sprinting away from the Cardiff defender to smash it in. (Wasn't that his debut?)
I really liked his appearances after that, but some fans didn't rate him. He then spent a period of time out on loan before being sold to Orient. I was gutted when he left, but delighted when he retuirned, despite a few fans being a bit "meh" about him returning from a spell in League 2, where they thought that was his level.
He's been great since he came back, and seems to be getting better and better!
Not sure I get some of the comments regarding Smyth. He's been one of our most consistent players so far this season. There's so much more to his game than getting decent crosses in (which has improved significantly in my opinion) He's been involved in 4 of our last 7 goals. Works his absolute nuts off for the team, whilst getting battered in the process!
We had more possession all game until around the 90th minute where it swung into Derby's favour in injury time.
And you could also look at the shots on goal - less than a lot of our games this season with just 9 (Derby had 15!) But this time the chances were converted.
Basically the damage was done in the 1st half (55%) so the urgency in the 2nd half dropped off (41%). That plus playing with 10 men for the last 15mins where we were just sitting back and letting them have possession while we tried to keep a clean sheet.
The most important stat though was the final score and a nice 3pts on the board. :-)
