I think you've completely misunderstood. My quote is this: "He understands that, perhaps because of the colour of his skin, even though he’s earned his stripes and done his time this may be his only chance to put himself in the shop window to fulfil his ambition and become a manager...

You're entitled to your point of view. I'm just saying it how I see it. But, if you're going to quote me, you could at least afford me the courtesy of quoting accurately and not making up your own sentences, creating your own fantasy perspective and spin on it. It's a shame that without any...

That's very kind, thank you. It was a pleasure meeting you too. :)

It's a fair question to ask as well and a difficult one to quantify and answer – but something's amiss. My take on it is that it's a club wide culture problem. The club has been purged of so many of its great and loyal staff over a period of years, dating back to Gianni Paladini's regime...

That would be me. I was representing LoftForWords as mentioned in at the top of the meeting minutes. Clive who runs LFW was unable to attend due to business and I went on his behalf. I write for LFW from time-to-time, write my own QPR blog, very occasionally in AKUTRs, am a longstanding...

Hey there – this was raised in the meeting. Ian and Paul started with a small selection and sought feedback on whether we felt it was correct. Several other websites were mentioned, such as this one, QPRdot.org and Vital QPR who were not in attendance. I followed this up personally with...

For those of you interested, just to give you an update that broadly relates to the statement The Trust made in the original post, there will be a QPR Fans' Forum next month. The Trust have been contacted by the Club and invited to attend a QPR Fans' Forum to be held at Loftus Road on Thursday...

Heh – yeah I suppose I am, albeit it's voluntary and not a formal role. :) I'm also the official QPR Ladies photographer (also voluntary), however I've not managed to get down to a match for them this season. The network that LoftForWords is hosted on also has a commercial deal with...

Heya there, both the LSA and QPR1st featured in The Four Year Plan documentary and one or two others from in and around the QPR community.

Heh. Never a slow day where I work! ;)

What punishment do you think is fair for what he did and do you see this as eight or 12 matches? I see it as eight matches, because the first four are mandatory and standard in accordance to the rules of the game. Any other player in the same circumstance would have picked up the same four...

I'm not talking about the context of the day from my perspective, the statement released on the FA's website suggested that the context of the occasion was taken into consideration, which I would question myself as perhaps being unfair, though they've decided to take a wider look at the problem...

I don't particularly agree with the system myself, but if that is the system, then they've gone about things in a relatively straightforward and obvious manner. There's definitely a lot of holes and a lack of common sense being applied, but the letter of the law is usually there to attempt to...

The problem Barton has is "intent". It doesn't matter that he didn't connect, all that matters was that he showed intent and in today's game that's a red card offence. This was exactly the same reason why he was sent off against Norwich, where he arguably showed less intent on that occasion...

Barton and Suarez both got the same length of suspension, which is eight matches. The initial four game suspension is mandatory and standard for the red card offence against Carlos Tevez, but obviously when you add them together it comes out as 12 and looks and sounds worse. Had Suarez been red...
