Just back got home.
Firstly the ref was clueless.
Mills was elbowed in the head within the first 30 seconds and that set a precedent.
He let the fake hoops get away with persistent fouls and then after they hit the post and the awful Hulse, (missed an open goal) Tarabat or what ever he is called jiggled his way through our defence before carrying out a pike with a triple somersault to gain an extremely dubious penalty.
I would not normally defend Mills but having been booked and seen the play acting by their no 7 you really cant blame him for going off on one. He was lucky not to be sent off.
That was about it for the rest of the game any 50/50 went their way. No 7 throwing himself to the floor, the grey haired centre back kicking out elbowing anything in his path.
The ref then surprisingly sent one of theirs off for a two footed lunge up the other end before we reverted to a typical Warnock game with time wasting and niggling fouls.
Not saying we were any good (Apart from Longs goal) but QPR where nothing special.
By the way dont let anyone tell you that Reading has poor fans. QPR fans sat without a wimper for most of the game.
Despite going season after season I forgot how cramped and soulless the place is. The pitch is tiny, rubbish fans, totally tin pot place. Truly awful ground. The only saving grace is that there are a few boozers in the vicinity.
Goodnight
