Reply | QPR in Reykjavik in 1984- UEFA Cup

Wow what memories... I never did the 84 Europe trips... I was in strike with the miners then, and married with a 3 year old and a 2 yr old... so money was .... well tight
But back in December 76 we went over to Cologne for the EUFA Cup tie. We had dispatched the Germans 3-0 at our place... and decided to go to the away leg....
We drove in my mate's Mark 2 cortina estate... we took the estate so the 4 of us could sleep in it... we arrived in the then West Germany the day before....
And hit the drink straight away... I remember going to Cologne Cathedral p!ssed up and one of the lads having a slash in the back of it... and being chased out by some very irate Germans .... no sense of humour
The game well what I remember was Don Masson scored very early on... and we were 4-0 up on aggregate... and then the wheels fell off... Dave Clement thumped a player and got sent off and we shipped 4 goals... and scraping through on the away goals
I also vaguely remember real fighter in the squares... and my mates cortina in danger of being set alight, due to the English number plate... I thi k it was only saved by Vic and some of his mates
We managed to get out alive... and drove back... I think in Belguim we shot a piston and got home to Dover on 3 ...
Fantastic few days... sadly 2 of the lads are no longer with us.. Jackie and Jonny both past away... [Post edited 14 Dec 22:12]

Absolute bravery and was shot twice himself
But for me him being Arabic or at least of Arabic descent is amazing as well. With the hostility that the Middle East provides between Isreal and the Arabic countries... for him to defend Jewish families is truly wonderful
He is a true hero |

Top post. I was watching a stream and saw that 4-2-2-2 line up and thought they had that wrong
It's the managers 4th game and he as won them all... so I think it as taken the league by surprise.
Are we improving.. well yes the league position proves we are...
Though I'm kinda in Lblock camp. The club seems to be on the right track with certain things... but then handling people it is way down on that
Paal last year, Nardi this year... Furlong .... they seem to go out of their way to alienate personal and then ask them to "perform"
The FB situation is bad though. RND is a decent championship player but he isn't ours... and at RB a CB like last year.... and we haven't addressed that
I still think we are lightweight for this division. Nearly every team we play are bigger, stronger than us, and we do seem to get bullied a lot.
Birmingham was perhaps the 1st game where we possibly matched physically a team.
I think we are a 6/10 at the moment... stretching to a 7/10 on occasions, and a following wind |

That question could most likely be a thread in itself
Personally he will get a very neutral reception from me. I was never a great lover of Marti, i always felt with his track record we were a stepping stone, which is fair enough, neither clubs or persol have much loyalty these days. And for me it was just his lack personality.
The bottom line is, he is now Leicester's manager and I want to beat them simply because I want us to beat everyone. |

Well a lesson taught there............we now know what standards we need to achieve to become a good team.
Boro just strolled that.........all the work done in the 1st half...........and once they got the 3rd they took the foot off the gas.
Always disappointed when we loose, but you have to just hold your hands uo sometimes and shake their hands the better team won
Now for Mari next week................ |

Sum this up in 3 words men v boys.............there is a gulf between us and them.
We can say this and that but sometimes you just have to give the other team credit for being better than us. Yes they have opened us up and it could be 3 or 4, but they have opened us up more down to them being better than us
The game is most likely over, but hope in the second half we don't capitulate and ship 4 or 5
Be interesting though what JS will do at half time |

I feel we have been a little naïve here...............they are the better team, I thought we should have had a few technical "injuries" to break up the play...........stop their momentum |
