Would agree though, Kemper didnt look like he was running out of steam either and we replace him with another player coming back from injury, who promptly got injured. Its not Stephans decision. Overruled perhaps. Most players who start, should be able to do 90 minutes though as against 70 minutes, without aggravating an injury.
Ever since we have had these sports scientists managing players minutes to protect all our boys from injuries, we have had the worst run of injuries I have ever known in our history. And some subs have disrupted our rythym as a result. Seems to be a minimum of two injuries every game. Some in the warm ups, some in the youth games.
Great though we have these sports specialists. Am pretty cynical about this as seems a bit of a conmans game from all I have seen. [Post edited 9 Oct 23:26]

Thread | The first 70 minutes was Super Professional
at 23:10 9 Oct 2026
Yes we were lucky to get the pen. Super pen though. But we were deserving to lead and completely in control.
At 70 minutes, they had a speculative overhead from Bowen and a cross that had to be tipped over. 2 attempts, neither on target. That was all in 70 minutes.
Last 20 minutes with only nine men effectively, they had 10 more attempts, 5 on target. Many more positives to take from that against the supposed best team in the league, who have been scoring for fun, prior to today.

King Charles now Brian. Been upgraded tonight from Prince.
Our best ever loans in the past. We have had a few, but Wayne Routledge, Nakhi Wells and Kyle Walker come to mind, but am very confident this boy will be our best ever and to say that about a player who has only just turned 21 is mad.
Unfortunately, unless we miraculously go up, he is here for this season only. We would not be able to afford him. For me he will be in the prem next season, even if City get relegated. Too good not to be.
When we signed first Calum Ward who got the accolade for Scottish League goalkeeper of the season and must have thought he was here as a number one. I hope Pierce is teaching him all he knows this season and he benefits from training with Pierce. [Post edited 9 Oct 22:56]

Kemper was always coming off at that time Connell.Understood that one.
Hindsight but i would have put Adamson left back where he has done well and put Mbengue on for Kemper with Mbengue at right back.
Lamptey coming back from injury, more of a wing back anyhow than a full back and injury prone, against effectively the best player in the league was daft. But he had also taken off Smyth previously and put Vale on, who was cleaned out earlier in the move but didnt get back at all to give Lamptey any support either. Smyth helps a lot more in defence than Vale also.
Was taking a chance with wide players of Lamptey and Vale v Bowen anyhow.
I wouldnt have taken Smyth off for me. Was having a very decent game.
If aint broke, dont fix it. [Post edited 9 Oct 22:46]

Pierce Charles - What a goalkeeper.
Going to be fun with him playing for us.
Unfortunately Lamptey seems made of glass and was not up to speex in the only bit of play Bowen showed any of his qualities. And Mbengue - NOOO !!!
Basically nine men at the end !!!
Despite a few things gping our way to get the draw, atinutes we were extremely comfortable.
Got to be pleased overall, as can compete with the best of them.
Well done Rangers. [Post edited 9 Oct 22:14]

We have made the title favourites look like no hopers.
I like the fact in attack, its a midfield three - Madsen, Kamara and Edwards.
In defence back three of Dunne JCS and Edwards.
Thats working a treat at the moment.
Wasnt a pen but we deserve the lead though. Love that pen by Madsen though. Severely cool dude.
All QPR players have had a decent half. [Post edited 9 Oct 20:59]

Am glad he is starting with Rayan Kolli.
Am sure he will be right up for this one, and the fact we are away to West Ham, ie a massive game against the more than likely champions, its a chance for him to show the powers that be, that he can be a decent championship player. He did well in the cup game here last season. Might not get much of a sniff tonight though, like most of our team, given the opposition.
Am looking forward to this one probably a bit too much ie am hopeful of a result.
Think if we can stay level till half time, we can 100% get something from the game and if only one down, chances to pull back a draw.
Very pleased with so many doubts in the eleven and on the bench.
Thats all very positive.
C'mon my team... |

Not in anyway being the naysayer here
Yes awful scenario that has happened in Spain It does though happen here, all the time, we just dont hear about it.
But, was going to say when discussions have got political on here with very differing views, well when i have raised an issue on here, I have been clamped down on, and been told we dont do politics on here, as it can get a little heated both ways. I think the reasoning being Clive as the admin of the site could get into trouble if unsubstantiated views are misrepresented.
Am guessing at times, the site may be checked. Think this idea was mooted when all sorts of stuff was posted about covid.
Could be wrong but think in 58 pages time, this thread could start to get a little personal.
Just an observation.
Anyhow c'mon u rrr's. Great game ahead of us this evening.... |

Your second sentence here is causing myself some interest.
"Taraabt was almost certainly neurodivergent."
Wow. How do you come to that diagnosis about the great man. Thats an interesting take.
He didn't like training - he liked Kebabs - he had a god given talent - not sure how you claim from what we know whether he was Autistic, Dyslexic or has ADHD.
Classic line though.

Thread | When I asked AI to predict the West Ham v QPR scoreline
at 18:39 8 Oct 2026
On Google Gemini, and yes I know the general consensus on here about AI, but its seriously improving its efficiency. This is what the initial answer was, and I kid you not.
So in response to my question, as to what scoreline would be the end result of QPR's visit to the happy Hammers, this is what I got...
"This is for informational purposes only. For medical advice or a diagnosis, please consult a professional"
Seriously advancing quickly is this new technology !!

Well done Fred.
Brave man for taking up the mantle for this one.
I think myself, we are playing them at one of the only times we might have an opportunity to get a result - after a three week break. So, for that reason, an exciting and eventful game in which we somehow snatch a Desmond 2-2. Am going to further add to the unlikely scenario by claiming the goalscorers as Alfie Lloyd and Rayan Kolli !! [Post edited 8 Oct 18:30]

Who is going to take the hit...
Possibly take a beating - however always the odd chance - we get a top result...
Maybe the return of the prodigal son - Mr Elbow - good time to recommence his association. |

Its strange this particular case has caused so much attention, because this kind of thing happens constantly and its rife in our own country also.
Sadly, I have known of a man who I have worked with and was evicted through no fault of his own, and then moved on from a hostel he was placed in, as he had a car and was told this meant he had accomodation. He had recent health concerns and only a few days later he sadly passed, trying to sleep in a small car in the extreme heat.
Its terrible and a national and international disgrace.
Its weird how certain cases are given such prominence when this kind of thing happens world wide all the time and always.
I can tell you from having worked in fields surrounding social care, this is not an isolated incident at all, in anyways. [Post edited 8 Oct 11:38]

Thanks Clive to you and Conor for the interview. Glad too, you are getting more access and chances to chat with QPR hierarchy again.
Was a very decent interview with some very well thought out answers.
I have to say, Julien Stephan is most definitely an intelligent man and for a man that could hardly string a sentence together in English a year ago, the way he answers questions clearly and with different slants depending on who or what he is talking about is amazingly impressive.
His answers show a lot of his man management skills ie the building up of a young player like Leon Scarlett or a more straightforward "this is what you have to do" impression, with regards to stating all that someone like Rayan Kolli needs to do, to be selected. I think he believes a "I will show em" reaction from Kolli is what he is trying to impress on Rayan and believes this could be the best way of getting the best out of Kolli.
Very clever.
A good listen indeed. [Post edited 8 Oct 11:20]
