I get about five or six blokes where i sit, leaving for half time about ten minutes before the interval. They usually walk in around five minutes into a game and similarly after five minutes of the second half. Leave five or ten minutes before the end too.
This will just increase human traffic during the game.
Doesnt seem a point to doing this for me, and appears a gimmick a la Trump paying everyone $5000.
Wont change my vote either way.... |

Our neighbours who are overflowing with kids, therefore have a lot more recycling than ourselves, the mother sneaks out around 3am, the day before the bins are picked up.
This despicable crime is done under the cover of darkness but Mrs Numpty is a very light sleeper and it winds her up no end.
It doesnt worry me. Our bin is only half full otherwise.
As Bosh says Ted, sometimes Wheelie Bins are the new rock and roll !!!
Or maybe not then......

Yes i know thats the rules around qualifications but both grew up and were born in France. For me that makes them French. And both their mothers were born and lived always in France too. But yes money talks and all international teams in most sports follow these rules, but personally i have never liked it.
Where you are born and where you have spent your formative years is for me how it should be.
Appreciate that would mean clearly that Jonathan.Varane would be extremely unlikely to be capped ie by France but fair enough. In rugby and cricket its just as extreme with Samoans Fijians in rugby, a fair few South Africans in cricket representing England both and the like playing for all sorts of different other nations also.
And the rules can be bent back also. Declan Rice and Jack Grealish had played for Ireland at youth level and Rice even made thrèe full international appearances for Ireland. Rice only had irish paternal grandparents and Grealish about as Brummie as they come, his dad was Irish. The irish team under Jack Charlton with scouse Aldridge and Cockney barrow boy Townsend shows its been like this a long time.
Stated Jonathan Varane was French through and through but qualified for Martinique because of his father, yet Raphael was born and raised in France with the same father but played for France.
The rules for me are so tenuous and not correct but me stating this, i see my post was reported for abuse. Not sure why.
Anyhow, forgetting that, we all know all football is available to the highest bidder. International football has a kind of transfer window, all of its own, but it will stay as it is, because its wedded to the money...
It will always be so, but doesnt mean its right.
My father was born in Wales but moved to London age 13. Mum was a London girl. I had irish great grandparents who both passed when i was no more than a toddler. Couldnt be anything other than English myself though. Born here and always lived here. My dad followed Wales - fair enough, born there and spent his formative years there.
Have always not agreed with this system of selection for international representation. Its odd and weird. [Post edited 25 Sep 0:18]

Susie changed massively from 21 to 28.
At 21, seemed without direction, travelling with no real enthusiasm but at 28 had married and seemed a contented mature woman, as against a chain smoking neurotic young woman previously. |

Clearly a season break, so coming out with random threads
Did anyone else on here warch the 70up documentary ,where 14 people were filmed every seven years of their lives from the age of 7, to the last documentary where they are now 70 years old.
The first programme was made in 1964.
Clearly the man that produced the series had an agenda to highlight class differences and also expectations of gender etc, with some of the very different questions he would ask the shows participants.
Found it interesting to follow different peoples lives throughout their lives. Very intruguing. Could not be done now, everyone would be following them all the time over social media, as with this only got updates every 7 years. Long enough period where one man went from being single at 21, to being married with fuve small children at 28.
Some were very successful in terms of careers, some had difficult relationships, some travelled far and wide, some had very tough lives, but would not say any had it particularly easy. Some changed personality wise and some were the same character type throughout.
Many of them had issues at times with Michael Apted the producer and some dropped out for long periods. Two have sadly passed as now too has Apted also.
Interesting also seeing the different fashions, the different homes and environments over the years. In all reality they were indeed the first tv reality stars of their time.
All of them all appeared to be decent people, and it was nice to hear that a few had met up over the years and not just in their so called class sets as Apted had wanted the documentary to show above all else.
Not known of any other such tv documentary ever to do this, so definitely an extremely interesting tv show. [Post edited 23 Sep 19:04]

Crikey and i thought i wasted too much time on mindless nonsense. Some truly random league tables here. Must get my thinking cap on.
1. Nearest Lidl to a football ground perhaps.
2. Density in terms of numbers of kebab vans around with shortest distance from a stadium.
3. Nearest curry house from a stadium, but has to be en route to the nearest train or tube station.
These are the kind of league tables that are crucial to daily living, surely !!
Sorry Bosh waa meant to be a general reply and not to your critique of the average Millwall fan. Regards that though, saw a report about Millwall West Ham firms of old school hooligans being almost a dying breed ie the violence is under control from days gone by, when you were potentially risking your life to get wrapped up in such nonsense.

If you did listen again, these dumb bum algorithms will start to think you like it and its AI counterparts and flood you with similarly created alternative AI rubbish.
Made the mistake of watching a couple of then and now pictures of couple old school comedies. They seriously make mistakes.
I think its possible to remove the future bias, but just as easy is to stop clicking on similar content.
It can be irritating though - do agree !!!

Such a great surprise with the form of Adamson and a la Madsen last season, everyone including myself had basically written him off.
So from last season our only QPR contracted player that could play left back was Esquerdinha.
Now we have
Adamson,
Cirkin,
Lamptey,
Kemper,
Adjety- Brew
Note to recruitment team. We are ok now on the left of defence. |

Wondered how Johnathan Varane qualified for Martinique, a country tbf never heard of previously and the lesser spotted Raphael played for the French. They had the same father but different mothers. Were both brought up in France but in separate homes.
Apparently though, the reason for Johnathans representing the mighty Martinique, its where his and Raphael's dad was born and lived as a child. Yet one represents France and the other some random outpost.
Something slightly wrong how nations can select players these days. Dont agree with it myself. Born and spent your childhood years in a country. That should be the only criteria for me. |

Hope the goal can kick start his performances for us Connell.
And i agree he definitely has the talent. Just about doing it in his minutes on the pitch.
Am hopeful with this guy. Fingers crossed.... [Post edited 22 Sep 14:17]

Fantastic hit.
Definitely hit the sweet spot, if thats not too inappropriate to say in todays PC world !!
Again also, I think Paul Smyth is such a massively underrated player with skills and an engine that have propelled him to a decent standard of football performances consistently and definitely a great presence in the dressing room. And like with Dunne, do hope he remains here for the majority of the rest of his career going forwards.
Top man Smythy....

Good luck to your Mrs, Superhoops2808.
Have donated.
Thats a really fantastic thing for your wife to be involved with. A friend a few years ago, sadly ended up in a hospice at way too young an age to be in one. The staff were outstanding. What a job they do and their help is massively underrated. Special people definitely.
And the cat rescue is another great cause. My partner has had a couple of cats, one which i knew. Sadly both were run over at young ages, so she wont have any now, but cats are by far the superior beings compared to us idiot humans.
Was a regular road runner in my 20s and early 30s. Did a lot of half marathons and 10k races back then too. Only one marathon in 1996 at London. Did ok, but paled into insignificance with regards to my dad. He did six from the age of 56 to 62.
Pass on my best to your Mrs and hope all goes well on the day. [Post edited 22 Sep 14:05]

One really poor challenge could be viewed kindly as mistimed or over enthusiasm at best. Two in the same game is indicative of assault.
From what these two clips show is that both challenges are potential leg breakers and potentially career ending tackles also.
Absolutely abysmal - disgraceful !!
Maybe the club should report these incidents. Both look so bad !! |

Reply | Atmosphere at the match
at 10:37 21 Sep 2026
Yes, there was a massive contrast half to half, but then again our football was National League South in the first half, and top class Premier League in the second.
The fans feed off the players and vice versa likewise.
Was a great shame Madsen's free kick didnt end up going in. The stadium would literally have been shaken from its foundations. I noticed looking around the ground when Smyth's goal went in, all corners of the ground were going absolutely stark raving bonkers. Even the most timid of fans had their moments of sheer delirium at that time.
Read a comment on social media from a Preston fan, he appreciated being at a ground where the atmosphere was so unreal, even when conceding in the last minute.
Whenever, we eventually upgrade to a new stadium, we have to be so careful, in that the design, enables the atmosphere we can create at Loftus Road. We dont want to make the mistake, West Ham have done. Their fans hate it, as would we.
What other crowd though, would go that mental at equalising at home to bottom of the table, Preston North End. Only QPR. [Post edited 21 Sep 10:40]

Nearly..
Said to the bloke next to me at half time, we need Rodney coming on as sub. Did not we win the league cup final 3- 2, after being 2 nil behind.
The Madsen free kick, minute 90+4, was arking into the top corner, until their keeper came out of nowhere.
Almost...
Even more surprisngly, would have been completely deserved. Fabulous second half.
