    I don't know where the time goes but it is a year ago this weekend that a lot of us experienced possibly the greatest day we've had following the R's......

    "It's just a throw in, Hoilett, he battles and he scraps and he just wants it more........"

    "Would-you-be-lieve-it?...No....Unbelievable......"

    These and Phil Parry's commentary on Radio London 94.9 still give me goosebumps.....

    Our day started at 3am that Saturday morning and finished at 1:30 am Sunday morning, I still to this day don't know how Inky managed to stay awake to drive back to Waterford from Dublin as both Paddy & myself were dead to the world......but what a day....



    Just thinking good thoughts with a glass of wine, feel free to do likewise......

    What a difference a year makes. It was my daughter's university graduation day, out of town - got to watch the match though on Bet365, the OBZ goal, then had to dash to the ceremony.

    Free beer tomorrow, but alas not for us - QPR fans travelling to Leicester and hoping to drown their relegation sorrows on the cheap will be disappointed though, as the offer only extends to home fans, instead a ticket, pie, programme and a cup of tea costing as little as £27.50. .

    Leicester City: Free beer for Foxes fans against QPR

    How often do club owners give their fans something for free?
    Leicester City's owners will dip into their pockets and buy the first round of beers during Sunday's final game of the season against QPR.
    The Foxes secured their Premier League status last week and vice chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said: "We want to say thank you to our fans for their incredible support this season.
    "It's been key in the team securing another season in the top flight."
    Supporters will be given a voucher to claim a beer - or a bottle of water - at the King Power Stadium.
    QPR fans travelling to Leicester and hoping to drown their relegation sorrows on the cheap will be disappointed though, as the offer only extends to home fans.
    The BBC Sport's Price of Football study found that the Foxes offered the cheapest day out in the Premier League this season, with a ticket, pie, programme and a cup of tea costing as little as £27.50.
    Leicester's owners have been spoiling their fans recently, having provided breakfast for the 3,000 supporters who travelled to Sunderland last week.

    Sharing that day with my two lads is a memory that I will cherish for the rest of my days.

    My 50th year supporting the R's next season but that day ranks as the best simply because we snatched victory against all odds, brilliant!...<ok>

    Just watched it for the millionth time. Still makes me smile despite relegation.
    I think Tony wants to experience that again (though he me might prefer automatics next time)!

    Agree with all the above. Fantastic day, I cried my eyes out when the final whistle went. I must have hugged almost all the Rs fans within 100 yards of my seat behind the goal. I didn't actually see Bobby hit the ball because the guy in front was already out of his seat, but I saw the ball hit the back of the net and then........pandemonium!!!! Ohhhhhhhhhhh Bobby Zamora!!!!!

    I guess most people have seen this, but just in case.

    Been a bad year....but that day was the best day ever supporting Rs for me
    I was at the 67 cup final, but was too young to realise how precious these moments are ...

    I had to wait 37 years to find out what it really meant

    The single most joyous moment in my life. Sheer unadulterated joy.

    Perhaps fittingly, exactly one year to the day we will play our final PL match before returning whence we came...

    Wottaday. Amazing to be on the right side of the fence for a day.
    Goosebump moment for me was when Clint Hill gave his thoughts afterwards. Could see how much it meant to him.

    So, in the light of this, what song will we be singing to Richard Keogh when they come to LR?

    Must have been heartbreaking for him this season to see us throw it all away for the second time.
