QPR 2-1 Nottm Forest

BBC - QPR 2-1 Nottm Forest >> QPR 2-1 Nottm Forest
Nottingham Forest have been relegated after they lost at QPR.

The City Ground club become the first ever former European champions to slip into the third tier of their domestic league, as they move into League One.

Forest had Darryl Powell sent off after half an hour and were sunk by goals from John Curtis and Marc Bircham.
Substitute Eugen Bopp pulled one back with a crisp finish 13 minutes from time but it was not enough for a Forest side who produced a tepid display.

Money Is Tight For Holloway

BOSS MUST WHEEL AND DEAL - POWER >> "Ian Holloway will be kept on a tight leash by the QPR board as he attempts to strengthen his squad in the summer.
Holloway is one of the fiercest critics of the imminent change to the transfer laws, which means Football League clubs will be able to trade players only in the summer and in January.

The Rangers boss has vowed to increase the size of his squad - but chairman Bill Power will urge caution.
'Ian Holloway has a list of players he wants to bring in,' said Power.
'His biggest problem is my telling him not to spend too much money and to go out and find one of his gems.' "

Nick Culkin Retires

QPR Official - Nick Culkin Retires >> Nick Culkin(26) has had to retire from the professional game as a goalkeeper due to a longstanding knee injury.

Nicky Culkin may get a testimonial from QPR and maybe Man Utd - where he came through the youth side at Old Trafford. A testimonial game between QPR and Man Utd would be a fair call, to help the lad financially, through the difficult times ahead of him, after losing his trade.

Good luck for the future Nick Culkin.

QPR Wigan Draw

Wigan 0 QPR 0

QPR slowed down the Wigan promotiuon locomotive with a battling display to earn a 0-0 draw. Wigan blew a good few chances, most notably Jason Roberts when he hit the post in the second half.

Generosso Rossi played in goal for Rangers. Rossi must have made up with Holloway. To keep a clean sheet away at Wigan must have been a good performance. If pure luck, then that'll do. A lucky goaalie is probably more use than a good one.

Shabazz Baidoo played up front and caused a few problems, to his credit. Good performance from the youngster. Replacing Paul Furlong can't be easy right now.

All in all a good point and a battling performance, when most would be expecting QPR to roll over, seeing that it is just pride we are playing for at the moment. I am gladdened the pride is there still. I am sure Holloway gave "pride" a mention somwhere along the line.

QPR Team
19 Rossi
3 Padula
5 Shittu
2 Bignot
23 Santos
21 Miller (Edghill 83)
16 Bean
34 Baidoo (Townsend 55)

Paul Gascoigne - Gazza To Coach At QPR

Paul Gascoigne - Gazza To Be A Coach At QPR?

Paul Gascoigne is doing coaching courses at the moment to get his Uefa coaching badges.

I have a crazy Man Utd fan sitting next to me whe reckoms he has heard a rumour that Gazza, aka G8, aka Paul Gascoigne will be a coach at QPR next season

Pure speculation and rumour of course, totally ~ but an interesting thought nonetheless.

QPR Blog Comment >> "Gazza to be a coach at QPR?" ~ I am not sure how I feel about it, but I doubt very much Gazza will actually be a coach at QPR atall. If he did, it would certainly bring the cameras to Loftus Road.

Holloway Proud Of The QPR Players

HOLLOWAY PRIDE IN BATTLING QPR: "HOLLOWAY PRIDE IN BATTLING QPR
QPR boss Ian Holloway was full of pride in his injury-ravaged team despite their 2-0 defeat to an Adi Akinbiyi-inspired Burnley at Turf Moor.
The Londoners, who have won once in seven matches, were forced into making four changes to the side that drew 1-1 with Leeds, without 10 players through injury and suspension and following on-loan defender Andrew Davies' return to Middlesbrough.
Striker Shabazz Baidoo, making his first start, was taken off injured after 29 minutes and replaced by debutant Lewis Hamilton, who himself came off for another youngster making his bow, Luke Townsend, at half-time.
Even more worryingly for Holloway, with a trip to promotion-chasing Wigan looming at the weekend, key midfielder Marc Bircham was stretchered off midway through the second period and replaced by Scott Mulholland, also making his first Rangers appearance.
Holloway said: 'It seems to be going that way for us. We have been falling over like skittles and that's one game we probably could have done with playing when it was scheduled for.
'I'm delighted with their efforts. Five of that team know their fates, they've signed for next year, four senior ones don't know their fate and some of the young lads who made their debut and have been told they're not wanted by the club.
'We came here against an almost full-strength Burnley side and for large parts of the game we passed it quite well, moved it quite well and created one or two opportunities.
It was a really flat game. It was a little bit lacklustre and it was almost like a testimonial game."

Holloway explained that Baidoo "got a knee in the glutinous maximus" and felt Hamilton had been "put on in an area he hadn't played before and it showed".

He added: "I don't know what it is (with Bircham). He seems to have fallen over, bent his foot right back and twisted his knee at the same time.

"Whether there was an invisible man out there that tripped him up I don't know."

Goalkeeper Simon Royce Might Sign For QPR

Charlton goalkeeper Simon Royce (34) Has Returned To Charlton and apparently Ian Holloway has inquired as to Royce's permanent future. Royce's contract ends on June 30 2005. With Generoso Rossi managing to annoy Holloway and Day's not so hot perfomances, allied with Royce's good performance while on loan, it is a fair guess to say QPR might sign Royce next season, or maybe not ~ who knows?

Holloway's Car For Sale On Ebay

I have no idea as to the whether Holloway's Car Was For Sale On Ebay Or Not

Here is the ebay link anyway :: eBay item - 1998 JAGUAR XJ SPORT V8 AUTO BLACK - are you a QPR fan?

If Holloway get's the £6,750.00 starting price on his car (Jaguar XJ Sport V8), it would give him enough money to buy another player for QPR from the non pro leagues heh.

Bircham On Holloway Saying The Team Is Ugly

Bircham On The Radio Chatting About Holloway Saying The Team Is Ugly

Marc Bircham was on the Hawkesby and Jacobs show today on talkSPORT Radio chatting about Ian Holloway's quip that the QPR team is the ugliest looking bunch of playerto wear a QPR shirt.

Copy Of Holloways Comments About The QPR Ugly Players

Bircham piped back questioning the looks of Holloway's side from back in 94. The likes of Alan McDonald, Darren Peacock, Ray Wilkins, Gary Penrice and Holloway himself (nicknamed "Gollam" at the club presently) were'nt exactly oil paintings themselves. Bircham said Tony Roberts was also ex rated. I am not sure if he means Robert's performances at times.

I think Birch has a point about the looks. A look at the bench of 94 and you would catch a glance of Devon White. -- Scary.

Bircham forgot Brevett and Impey. -- Double scary.

QPR Lose To Sheff Utd 3-2

QPR Lose Away To Sheffield Utd 3-2

Sheffield Utd 3
Webber (42) (52)
Gray (90) penalty

QPR 2
Rowlands 26
Gallen 66

Never went anywhere near Sheffield today but I gather by reading the QPR Official Site Sheffield Utd Match Report that we played well and were robbed of a point by the referee.

Paul Furlong was out today so George Santos played up front next to Gallen I gather. The 3-2 defeat leaves us pretty much no chance of getting into the playoffs, but overall it has been quite a season.

QPR favourites to go down this season? Baah.

QPR 1 Gillingham 1

QPR 1
Furlong 53

Gillingham 1
Flynn 17
Attendance 16,431

Gillingham almost see any game against any London club as a derby match. Gillingham are also fighting for their lives and it showed in the first half. Gillingham caused us no end of trouble for quite long spells of the first half and took what could be considered a deserved first half lead into half time.

Second hal;f was nearly all Rangers, fans player of the season to be Paul Furlong put away his 17th goal of the season after a through ball from Lee Cooke. After that it was nearly all Rngers, with the odd scare, but to no avail. Most memorable was the goalmouth 3 man duck shoot, where Rangers had 3 goes in a row at putting the ball away for the 3 points.

No joy after all.

Maybe we can reach the playoffs still, but need to improve our form quite a bit. It would be helpful if Matthew Rose were'nt so injury prone. Rose is not even a left back and still outplays Padula all too regularly, which is saying something. What has happened to Padula? Hwe was class last season.

Anyway, for a proper match report, you could always read the QPR Official Site Gillingham Match Report for an in depth review of the procedings.

Beware the Fallen Ranger!

QPR Lose To Sunderland

QPR 1
Dan Shittu (22)

Sunderland 3
Andrew Welsh (46)
Chris Brown (63)
Julio Arca (75)

I think we were out-grunted after half time and am still not happy about it. Maybe these players are over achieving and need replacing with people that think they belong in the premier league. The firm we got out-grunted by on our own pitch, will very likely go up and if the QPR players here at the moment think we are over achieving, then we might just go back down next season.

I think the manager afterthoughts say it all ::

♠ I know who Stan Bowles is.
♠ I guess "Danny Boy" is Danny Maddix.
♠ I guess "Bara" is Ian Baraclough.
♠ MUZZA ~ who is Muzza?

There is a QPR fan who can tell me, I am sure of it. Comments box please.
