    There was some trouble in the Rookery and according to Tommy Mooney a few Rs were given a bit of a pasting.

    Seeing as Yorkie said he was going up there could he have hit someone with a dead sheep?

    Hornette, apart from the obvious (the team lost) was there anything that could have coused the glum look? A fan protest perchance?

    Hi guys , a really good day despite the result , there was trouble in the rookery ,there were r.s everywhere this afternoon we had good banter with their fans near me !!
    I thought Tommy had a good game , and we didnt lose too much when Tiny went off,and Dale came on which surprised me!
    Marvins injury didnt look clever and I hope its not too serious!
    I thought the Skipper had a good game ,and Malky was very animated<laugh> that said QPR had the quality to take their chances and we didnt!
    off now to sample the delights of the wetherspoons around the corner from the hotel!

    Glad you enjoyed it Norway. <ok>

    I know the feeling to get back in the ground with all of the imperfections. It still feels like home.

    Taken a while to catch up and thanks for the coffee Ak, if a bit cold.

    Why did we have to lose today of all days.

    I don't get to many games but went today. Didn't thnk we played well - lots of mis-placed passes, never seemed to find Danny much and didn't really seem to get going properly. Having said that, other than the last 10 mins or so, I can't really see how QPR have won the league, they weren't awful, just didn't seem that good to be champions. Referee really poor especially in first half. Shame about the QPR fans on the pitch and coming up towards the Rookery taunting. I don't think anyone would have a problem with them celebrating, but why not keep it to themselves? (This includes Warnock who gave the Rookery a sarcastic clap and thumbs up before he scuttled off down the tunnel). Also a shame that because of the QPR celebrations, the traditional end-of-season circuit of the players seemed to have less meaning than normal mainly because about half the stadium had already left! Overall though, like Norway, I really enjoyed the day and when you don't get to the Vic too often, even with its three sides and unfinished corners, I still find it a really special place to be.
