Appeal for witnesses
at 15:58 20 Nov 2021

I know it's mentioned on at least one other thread, but perhaps this appeal for witnesses could be stuck to the top of the forum so that it gets seen by everyone coming on here. I suggest we hold back speculation about what happened and just hope that the man pulls through and justice is done. https://news.met.police.uk/news/seriously-injured-man-found-after-qpr-v-luton-ma

David Lacey, RIP
at 20:29 17 Nov 2021

I see that David Lacey, one of Britain's greatest football writers, has gone to the stadium in the sky. Here is a fitting tribute from another fine journalist; the messages below are worth a read, too. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/nov/17/david-lacey-never-wasted-words-

Also found this - by him, about us. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2011/sep/16/qpr-birmingham-owners-david-l

Very near the start of this, brilliant comic Kevin Bridges on Chels ledge JT. The rest of it's hilarious too, cos it's Kevin Bridges.

QPR FC from the White City
at 11:59 27 Apr 2019

Is anyone else fascinated by the history of White City? It's such an evocative name but seems so sad that the original exhibtion was destroyed, along with the grand old stadium which hosted two Olympics as well as the Rs. It must've been strange and melancholy for our supporters rattling around in there though.

Plus, shouldn't this be our song? Beautiful lyrics too:
Oh the torn up ticket stubs
From a hundred thousand mugs
Now washed away with dead dreams in the rain
And the car-parks going up
And they're pulling down the pubs
And it's just another bloody rainy day

Just watched this lovely little clip and thought: if only someone would add Pigbag.

The good old days: monkey noises and bananas.

Interesting programme presented by our own Clarke Carlisle about racism in football in the 70s and 80s, with quite a lot about Bob Hazell as well as our charming neighbours in blue. Those too young to remember can take it from me: racial abuse in grounds was loud, constant and vicious. In my case, I'm white, but it disgusted me so much, it put me off going for years.

Who'd be a ref? He's one of our own...
at 12:32 13 Oct 2018

A fascinating, well-researched and beautifully written article in today's Guardian, by one of our own, Michael Hann. Well done Hanny my son! As an aside, as he suggests at the end, our supporters are surely as guilty as any: being an empathetic and fair-minded sort of chap, I often feel for refs and linos at Loftus Road. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/oct/13/football-ref-hostile-players-ir

Dandy Town Hornets
at 11:36 24 Aug 2018

I enjoy going on Wikipedia to check the history of new Rangers' players, and their previous clubs always interest me most. I see Nahki Wells played for the Dandy Town Hornets in Bermuda (scoring 20 goals in 0 appearances according to Wiki, pretty impressive), whilst Tomor Hemed (married to a former Miss Israel, hello) played 39 games on loan for Maccabi Ahi Nazareth. At last, the Messiah!

Come Home To Loftus Road
at 09:56 11 Aug 2018

Got that first day feeling and to ramp it up a notch, just watched this. I'm a sucker for these cheesy start-of-season videos with their overblown music, players showing paaasion for the badge and all that baloney, so am very very slightly disappointed not to see one this season, though I understand the club has more pressing concerns right now.

This one is my favourite in an unironic sense, as I think it captures the atmosphere and the experience of us incredibly suave supporters on matchday really well (though I guess use of black and white probably came from Schindler's List, which is a bit disturbing: Rangers are bad, but not THAT bad). YOURRRRRS!
