Rumour from LFW

[Jogo]

It may give us a head start for next season. Give the new man a chance to look at what is wrong early doors rather than wait till May/June?

[QPRDave]

Can someone please explain to me how sacking Harry and getting someone else in this late in the season, regardless who it is, is automatically going to improve performances and ensure we finish in the top 2?

It's Magic!!!!!

[MYU]

It's Magic!!!!!

Yes Paul.

No, quite obviously people are going to have different opinions. And I would never state that you are not a Rangers fan or that you are a Fulham fan. Despite the fact that you have suggested I go to watch Crawley instead.

What you rarely do is back up your views with hard facts. For example, how can a team regarded by almost every bookie and pundit as being dead certs for the title let alone promotion, find themselves 15 points behind Leicester because of a blip? Look forward to understanding that one.

It's not necessarily your views TW, rather than the way you put them across. Perhaps you don't mean to, but you rub people up the wrong way by virtue of the fact that to you, it's only a game and you can move on quite easily.

Most on here, I would suggest are hurting at the moment. Badly. They are frustrated and they are worried about the future of our club, should we not get up by next season. Fans are fighting each other in the stands and whilst I don't condone that at all, I can very easily relate to how wound up people can get. Making light of their anger and frustrations isn't the best way of expressing yourself.

A good and fair reply B, and I take on board and accept wholly what you say BUT....the highlighted bit above, I certainly have no intention of rubbing people up the wrong way, despite popular consensus, but if I do, I cannot help that and it does make it a wind up.....yes, I can move on quite easily, and for me it is only a game and something to be enjoyed if possible, if not it's no big deal, and wait until it becomes enjoyable again....you are quite correct. Maybe I'm lucky!!! However, in my opinion, that does not make me any less of a QPR fan than anyone else just.....over fifty years of being QPR, man and boy backs that up!

I agree. Just as I would if it were only 5 years.

Thing is, we can all learn things from others on here. I certainly have.

Still struggling with your "blip" though.

I do think you have got the right to be a lot more peed off if you have travelled to a match and paid out a hundred quid for the day and seen total toilet over a bloke whos watching it on a free internet stream, where the only hard work he has had to do is press a link and with no expense whatsoever. So in a way, the person who goes is 'more qpr' imho. The person who goes is a supporter, cos hes supporting the club by putting money in, the bloke watching on an illegal link is a fan.

I take the point but many folk can't go to matches because of commitments, money or, as importantly, because they live abroad...

They can still be classed as 'top rangers fans'!
I would have to seriously consider moving abroad and not being able to go, and lucky enough ive always managed to be able to scrape the dough together for a season ticket. I know some people cant do that.

It's all just ego at the end of the day.

Seems self-serving to start identifying themselves as more QPR than any other QPR supporter.

All supporters are the same, if you dont ever go you aint supporting are you? that makes you a fan.
I even think people like isleworth and matty etc are more dedicated than me cos they go to every away game as well, thats proper dedication and proper qpr. All in my opinion though,

[DeepcutHoop]

Why the need to start ranking the fans if not for ego of those who end up at the top of the list as 'most QPR'?

I'm sure I'd fall way down the imaginary list at the moment, but have been far higher up years ago. Am I no longer a supporter because I can't go now? I'm just a fan?

[Kevin Mcleod]

Ask yourself, are you supporting the club financially in any way? Ticket, beer, pie, programme?
If not then you are a fan.

[bushcelt1]

I've supported rangers for 38 odd years but due to living away am i just a fan now??

Over the course of my lifetime or the last few seasons?

Why on earth would you want to tell someone they're not a QPR supporter. Is it really just semantic pedantry?

[Stanley]

Where do you draw the line?

For example:

Would that include QPR Player subscribers who can't get to games?

What about if you can only make a few games per season?

Online purchases from the club shop for supporters living far away?

Etc, etc...

Is it really as black and white as youre suggesting?

Exactly Bush.
