Did anyone watch the channel 5 show? So worth it for the odious Warnock staring down the lino at the end if the game and walking into the edge of the dugout. Gold.

I really don’t get the adulation and love that a lot of Rangers fans have for Warnock.......****ing horrible man.
Promotion.
When he's on form, he can be quite witty eg after the famous Derby 2 all away draw, he ended his interview with, 'I think we controlled the game from the 92 to the 96 minute'!
Would rather have him than Hughes, Redknapp, JFH, Benny and maybe even Olly.
You don't have to like him but he is good at his job.

I don’t like him.....and never said he wasn’t good (sometimes) at his job.
In my opinion he’s just a horrible man .
 
Hard to believe the criticism of Warnock on here. He did an excellent job during both his stints and was shoddily treated by the club in return IMO. I know IH is labouring under severe financial constraints but I it's hard to believe that NW wouldn't be doing a more successful job. That said, Warnock is always going to serve up formulaic rather crowd pleasing football (as demonstrated once again by the monotonous use of the long throw yesterday) and if it wasn't for a certain Adel Taarabt our promotion season campaign would probably have been as dull as Cardiff were yesterday. But if it's success with limited resources you want then Uncle Neil is your man while Uncle Ian is the bloke down the pub who talks a good game...

The criticism of him, which I share, is that his public persona at least is that of a nasty piece of work. Lots of nasty pieces of work get results in different walks of life, but they are still nasty pieces of work. I don’t really care how successful he was here, he is unpleasant and I enjoy it when his team loses.

Seconded

It turned out to be a debut to remember for Northern Irish striker Paul Smyth who scored the winning goal in a Man of the Match display for QPR against Cardiff at Loftus Road on New Year’s Day.

And then they reel you back in again don’t they? Bastards.

I’ve felt lower during 25 years of following Queens Park Rangers around the country than I did at Millwall on Friday night, but not much. Seeing your team lose, seeing your team play poorly, seeing your team go about their mission in such an inept and nonsensical way, that’s always hard to take. Marry it up with being criminalised simply for attending a football match, kettled into a roofless cage on a cold, dark and wet night and forcibly held their against your will for 45 minutes before being frogmarched into a potentially lethal situation on a railway platform where 1,400 people were being forced into a four carriage train… well, that’s the perfect **** storm isn’t it? Being so ridiculously emotionally invested in a football team can drain a lot of the pleasure out of watching them play at the best of times, replaced with stress and anxiety, but this is still meant to be a hobby, a pastime, something we do for fun. Friday night was a tumour.

For the first hour against Cardiff City on New Year’s Day, it didn’t feel like it was about to get a lot better any time soon either. This fixture often feels like one too many over the festive period for a variety of reasons, and 60 minutes of a Cardiff side who’ve suddenly hit the wall and lost three on the bounce against a QPR team clearly low on confidence played out in front of a silent crowd shivering through their hangovers did nothing to dispel that notion. It quickly boiled down to two tired looking teams trading long throws – QPR’s Jack Robinson and Cardiff’s Callum Paterson getting good distance for no reward.

A good read thanks. Can't argue with that except with Smith getting only a 6 after the important equaliser and an assist, while Cousins absent in defensive action 1st half gets a 7.

Good point Ossie, I agree.
