Memories of QPR at home

[Blyth]

The 2-2 Good Friday match in 1998. Pissed down all day and we blew two vital points.

1-0 win at the start of the next season. Clark broke his leg.

My memory of that is seeing a QPR fan in his 50’s with a young bairn get smacked just cos a Sunderland fan couldn’t hack the result outside the southwest corner.

Think Quinn missed a great chance to make it three nil and it went pear shaped from there.

When Clark broke his leg, always remember @herrasoulmob saying 'that's the season knackered.

he was right

Phillips missed a chunk of the season too after an injury in some diddly game versus Chester.

Ridiculous to think we had a Championship strikerforce squad of Quinn, Phillips, Bridges and Dichio.

I have pretty much no memories of games apart from the last couple.

The full match

I couldn’t watch it back. Still painful.

1976-77 season, only thing doug collins ever did, great cross for bob lee to score with far post header in fulwell for 1 nil win.

 

[Maravilla]

That Good Friday game is the first one that comes to mind for me.

Probably didn't turn out to be such a bad thing in the end but the 4 points we dropped as a result of that game and conceding a last-minute equaliser at West Brom on the Easter Monday was an absolute sickener at the time and pretty much cost us automatic.

 

[Walter H. White]

Beating them 3-1 only cos Taye Taiwo’s free kick won me £1,500

What a quality goal that. One where even Sunderland fans applauded.

Helped we were 3-0 up like and I’m sure it last few minutes as well.

I think we were in a better state to go up the season after. To be honest, we should never have sold Bridges, but that’s a different story and he was made of glass

First game came to mind that, in same bracket as Southampton couple seasons before (roker), Everton in quarter finals etc games where we had a real chance of doing something and blew it

2015

QPR hadnt won away from home all season

They turn up to the SoL and beat us 2-0 with a wonder goal from Bobby Zamora

When the ball hits your head in the back of row zed, that's Zamora

 

[Cheesy Feet]

3-0 at RP in 84/85. A blatant handball by David Hodgson in his own penalty area had John Gregory chasing the ref all over the pitch. To make matters worse for them Hodgson went on to score a great goal in the Fulwell End.

I was going to post that one..we’d beat Luton 3-0 just before it then we beat Forest in the Milk Cup game..Howard Gayle..it was a little purple patch in the season..then as usual it all went tits up and we were relegated.

Bridges was not made of glass. He had one awful career destroying injury at Leeds.

 

[Exapno Mapcase]

My eldest's first game in 1998, he was just about to turn 4. 1-0 win with a Phillips pen. Lee Clark got a bad injury.

Well, we should never have sold him, I know that much.

The very game.
Or for older fans the 1st home game straight after the 73 Cup final. Mayhem. Cup on display, fan on the pitch shite referee.

 

[Eggman]

4 days after we won the cup. Lost 3-0 at Roker.

A 1-0 home win during the great revival in 76/77

Bearing in mind we had played at Cardiff 2 nights before. Then had the triumphant return into the town and back to Roker the night before.

Aye but didn’t we pay £350k for Phillips and sell Bridges for £5m?

Money talked.

We weren’t skint though. Quinn was not that far from the end and Dichio was a bit crap. We could certainly have used Bridges in our squad. Maybe even sold Phillips for daft money a couple of years after promotion (didn’t Villa bid £30 million or something daft?).

Had on though, these days I always hear “the FA Cup should be the final domestic game of the season, like it always was”. What happened in 1973? Was it because we were Division 2 so had extra games? Or a fixture backlog?
