Varane is doing the job of 2?
I would sugest that it is Madsen having to carry an uninterested partner. The market value of Varane is decreasing with every game he plays! |

Good luck in getting Sky to agree to the clubs/league deciding who plays on Tuesday & Wednesday! |

It's always an option. If the club decide they want him they make an offer for him, if they don't want to pay money for him they don't. My expectation is that he will stay on loan until the end of the season & then we say goodbye.
I'm interested who the better full backs at this level are. I thought Giles at Hull was one of the best, but he was responsible for both Ipswich goals last week. I've no idea if that was a one off, or like quite a few I see, they are not that good at defending! |

Actually it was ten minutes for half time!
Rangers did have 3.15pm Saturday kick offs in the early 60's, but they had disappeared by the time we won the third division & league cup. I think the reason for the later start was that the pubs in Shepherds Bush closed at 3.00pm! [Post edited 1 Dec 9:41]

It was an absymal performance. Just like the journey to Norwich was!
I wanted to make eight subs at half time & enquired as to whether you can make more than one concussion sub!
I've not looked (and won't) at any replay, but I'm sure we should have had a free kick from the corner for the second goal. Would that have changed the outcome? NO! We would have found another way to invite Norwich to score. Did any of our players ask for a free kick? It looked to me as if they just shrugged & gave up. There was no leadership on or off the pitch.
The best part of the day was only paying £4.40 for a pint of bitter (abv 4.2%) in the Coach & Horses. And a chat with a Norwich supporter in that establishment! |

Thank you for posting this, a beautiful video.
When he got into our team I told everyone who would listen that Rangers had a superstar who would play for England or Nigeria. It didn't take long for most to start believing me! |

A definite penalty. If it had been outsidethe penalty area a free kick would have been given every time.
I thought we started well & looked quite good until the Hamer injury, but we stopped playing after it. The ball retention (unsuccessful passes) was awful, but IMO it was slightly (only slightly) better than Hull against Ipswich on Tuesday!
On to Saturday, when nearly all Rangers fans will be expecting a Norwich win, but the rest of the football world will expect a Rangers win. |

The 45 miles will take nearly 90 minutes Boston. The return will be even longer as traffic is held up after the match.
The A140 in Suffolk is mainly a 40mph (or is it 50mph?) speed limit, although it's mainly higher in Norfolk. I'm not sure if the major roadworks in Norwich will affect the journey either.
I'm definitely not using the bus replacement. My choice is to drive to Thetford & then go by train, or drive to Norwich park & ride. At the moment Thetford is looking the more likely, but car parking there might be an issue as the station car park only has 39 spaces.
It would be appreciated if anyone could advise me of parking in Thetford. [Post edited 27 Nov 11:39]

In my 70's & I still watch football all the time!
Do I enjoy it as much as when I was younger? Certainly not as when I was a child & probably not as my under 40 self. That is possibly because I've learned to accept that matches can be poor (at times very poor) as is the way with any live entertainment. Is the football better than when I was younger? No. Is the football worse than when I was younger? No.
What is different for me, is that I don't feel downcast (or worse) when we lose or we play badly, but I still care. When did this change come about? I don't know, but it might have been when I first accepted that I suffered from depresssion (not Queens Park Rangers related) & it stopped being the be all & end all.
Family, football & playing Bridge is what keeps me going! |

Going back to April & the gardening leave handed to Cifuentes, the one word that kept being used by those in favour was loyalty (or disloyalty from Marti).
Please would they care to explain how Paul Furlong has not shown loyalty, or is it just that the club don't really care about the word? |

 Brilliant Clive.
Like on Saturday, I would't be surprised if we win by two or lose by five! Both sides are more than capable of looking disinterested, rather like Ryan Giles did for Hull last night when gifting two goals to Ipswich. |

Blackburn away on a Wednesday night always takes me back to 1969 & a Mick Leach goal to give us a 1-0 win. The very match where Alan Spratley (player of the match) was attacked by a Blackburn fan during the game.
I wish I could say that I was there, but I wasn't. My brother (QPR until he moved to Islington & defected to Arsenal) & father (Blackburn) were. The previous Saturday we had won at Portsmouth with Ian Watson in goal (after Mike Kelly went off injured). |

I find this very sad & suspect that many supporters won't be happy with this turn of events.
I'm sure the explanation will make asll clear! |

You're right Pedro. I live in Ipswich but I forgot about the abandoned game! I also had no idea what date it was being played. |

I'm another that would welcome a 20 team league throughout the EFL (and National League).
I did find it funny on Friday night how the commentators kept stating how difficult it is for Blackburn to be playing 7 matches before Christmas. Not once did they mention that Preston & every club in the Championship faced the same! |
