I know it's pre season but it's good to have Rangers back.

Expecting a standard first pre season game. Austin and Fer won't be risked confirmed by club. Hope the new boys get a good run out.

This clearly shows a decision has been made. Knew he would be off but this rubber stamps it for me

The official line is:

"Last season’s top scorer for the R’s, Charlie Austin, only trained for the first time this pre-season on Thursday, and won’t be risked. Midfielder Leroy Fer will also sit out for the same reason.": http://www.qpr.co.uk/news/article/qp...LdKyT0hm8wd.99

"Owing to his international call-up earlier this summer, the Rangers front-man only returned to pre-season training earlier this week and therefore won’t feature.": http://www.qpr.co.uk/news/article/qp...F2boxUGDGJZ.99

Pointless taking them , should of left them here to liase with other clubs and agents.

I can see why you would say that.

However, when the club come out and say that they are trying their hardest to keep hold of Charlie, at least the decision to take him is consistent with this line.

It may well all be in vain, but trying to keep him is exactly the right thing to do, IMO.

So is there a stream for this pub match?
Surely some old codger will be filming it on his mobile and upload it on the net.
