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....
And a Crackerjack of a Goal..... [Post edited 22 Sep 14:12]

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 !! |

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.

I know will get a bit of stick for posting about an ex player who miserably failed to achieve here at Rangers and he never woild have done either.
But so far this season for Basel : -
9 competitive games
6 goals
1 assist
Perhaps the one thing this transfer taught us, is we could get our fingers burned seeking out talent in the lesser european leagues - not always the case a la Madsen, but glad a majority of our players are hand picked from the British Leagues as opposed to the star strikers in Middle Europe.

Desreved call up.
I thought the fact Kemper got an injury, meant that we would not be moving Adamson onwards, as he then has stayed, as cover was needed ie Cirkin and Lamptey both being eased back into the fold.
That may or may not have been the case, but his improvement on both sides of the defence has been impressive. Been really impressed with him, when my view was him and Esquerdinha were on the same pathway.
Playing Brazil used to be the ultimate international opposition, but they have not been supreme for some time now.
Hope he gets some time on the pitch and plays well.
Go Kealey... [Post edited 18 Sep 14:51]

Was impressed with N̈ourry, Stephan and Jimmy.
Christian seems to be much more confident in his role and has been learning from his mistakes too.
I wasn't as apprehensive as some, that the club had made a mistake in recruitment to employ him at such a young age. If you are good enough, then age is just a number. He clearly is in touch with the modern way of doing things and most aspects of the club have been turned around in his time here. Especially with regards the average age of the squad, the squad depth, and yesterday there wasnt either any ducking of awkward questions. He answered all well and succinctly also. Personally, am glad he is here and hope he continues to improve the club in many aspects.
Julien also, after being at the club for some time, is more enshrined in the club and is an assured presence, and speaks intelligently, whilst recognising there is a fair way to go. Again, good to see.
And Jimmy is proving to be an absolute natural leader at the club. Am sure he is great with the younger players and also he is very aware of making sure players are all doing ok mentally also, if they struggling on and off the pitch. Everything you want from the team captain. Hope he remains here for the rest of his career. See no reason why he shouldn't be.
It was very noticeable also, that everyone appears to be singing from the same hymn sheet. And, it's clear, the bunch of players we have currently, are in it together and all want to contribute. Best bunch in terms of character, I would say since the 'Adel' season.
The only issue I felt wasn't adequately addressed was the injury problems, although all recent injuries, it was said, none are seemingly very long term at all. Whether, thats a smokescreen or not, the reality will come out, over the next few months. And the reasoning in games of the first half given to some players or sixty minutes and then preplanned substitutes are made, no matter what the situation of the game or the players performance levels. This is being done to protect against reoccurring issues.
I wait to see on that one, but all round a decent fans forum and came away from it after viewing the feed online, feeling relatively positive.
No fool like an old fool, then.
Whoops ! [Post edited 17 Sep 10:32]

Redknapp and Barton who collectively froze Taraabt out of the club, they should have both been shown this video compilation. Just to say to them, this is what this guy adds to the team, so they could keep him heavily involved.

Kolli had a one to one with various staff about his future. Kolli said he deserved regular football. The club said that could not always be guaranteed here, but could be if he took up a loan this season. Six or seven opportunities were found but he wasnt interested.
So has ended up here still, but several staff are unhappy with his committment in training throughout. Kone was fit and used all last season and at times single handedly led the line himself.
Kolli has been out of favour regularly for similar reasons under other regimes, so can understand why Kone is given more credence currently.
All Kolli needs to do is do as his employers are wishing and get his head down, try his absolute best and he will get the opportunites again. All the panelists alluded to this and tbh that all seems absolutely fair. Hope he does this.
Not sure how the club can deal with this in any other way as to how they are approaching this issue today.
Its really now on someone in Kolli's camp to advise him to do this, but he should recognise this himself now also hopefully. [Post edited 17 Sep 9:54]

Reply | Raheem Sterling arrested on suspicion of drug-driving after crasoljching his car
at 22:58 16 Sep 2026
He was lucky. Very lucky he didnt maim anyone else but he has after receiving his sentence an opportunity to rebuild his life and am very sad for yes the loss of your friend in similar circumstances. Awful and you have my sympathy.
But yes of course if someone else had died as a result of this, firstly he would get a greater punishment, but you would hope he is given help to realise he made a conscious choice, so he has to learn he can never do this again.
Regards if he had killed someone and it was a loved one of mine, clearly it would be very hard to feel that you want them to be anything other than be locked up indefinitely. It wouldnt happen though, so you need the person to get help to change their ways.
i do have personal experience about this myself, also. My brother in law on quite a few occasions years ago, at Christmas time, regularly drunk drove, and massively over the limit. I reported him to the police myself after the events as was concerned he could potentially kill other road users. He wasnt prosecuted, as they were after the event. I ended up being enemy number one for calling him out and ever since i have had no contact at all with my sisters family, because I was seen as the one in the wrong.I contacted police myself as i wanted him , never to do this again. Each time, he had done it, my sister had said he was massively over the limit.
As far as i am aware, he has never done it again, but me being seen as a grass ie going against family, my sister and her husband no longer see me and have told their children to never contact me either. I got a lot of abuse as a consequence.
i dont regret my decision though. He stopped doing it as he was more open to realising he could cause massive damage to himself, his own family and other random strangers too. So hence why i hope Sterling after some punishment, changes his ways.
In a way i lost out, as i have no contact now with my nieces and nephews, who i saw regularly before. I was treated as the one in the wrong.
So yes Superhoops2808, am very very aware of the potential catastrophic circumstances of this, as hope you can understand.
But Sterling will be free again at some point. And re educating him about his choices and as a high profile offender, in future lets hope he changes his way and could help prevent many more from making these terrible choices in the future, by getting involved in campaigns to prevent others from taking these choices.
Am not defending this at all though as hope my explanation suggests. [Post edited 17 Sep 0:11]

Sounds like it.
He wasnt happy to not be selected. It happens.
Was told the reasons ie lack of effort in training, compared to all other players as hinted by Jimmy about training attitudes of Lloyd and Adamson.
He wanted more time in first team and was told by many in the hierarchy including Stephan, he needs to work harder to guarantee more opportunities.
The club managed to get six or seven different clubs, some in England and some abroad, who wanted to take him this season so he could get week in, week out football guaranteed, but Kolli himself turned them all down, the last one only being this week due to transfer window, closing in that country just now
Stephan said the door is always open and stating Kone has not been as fit as required. They are working on this and he will return after the international break, all being well. However Rayan has not shown any such comittment.
It is obvious that the squad do seem to all give it their all, but if a player that is still only a young player with limited experience feels he doesnt want to do as all the rest of the squad, it sends a poor message to all other players.
But if he had six or seven offers and he turned them all down ,but then also thinks he is above training to the level of all other members of the squad, then despite his goal record, personally I agree with Stephan and Nourry, he really needs to take note, get his head down and do as the coach and others want him to do and he still has that opportunity.
Its not great though. He wont have much of a career, if he thinks better than all of his coaching staff and club hierarchy. He would do the same elsewhere. He had opportunities elsewhere probably league one at best, but Kieran Morgan has moved this year despite having 50 odd championship appearances. He needs get his head take note and get into the team the right way, clearly currently he is doing none of that.
But they are open to using him, provided he puts in the work.
Completely fair, I say.
Its now down to the player. [Post edited 16 Sep 23:55]

Dixon Bonner was talented but was a laid back player and was a bit ghostlike in games and drifted. Compare to Kieran Morgan. He wants to play, he wants to succeed, he may not have natural talent but his desire to play, perform and win is there. I think Kieran will do well at Bradford. He has a championship career ahead if him, am sure. Dixon Bonner could play National League but again the desire has to be there. Not sure it is
As for the boy who would be king, I think turning down loans was a bad idea, honestly dont know if that happened, got a feeling it might have been, but he should have involvement here. Personally had hoped he would get a loan to a top league one outfit like Morgan, with us having a recall option in January if needed here. Its a guess by me, but get the feeling that might have been the plan. [Post edited 16 Sep 1:37]
