This
was a sad day for me. The first match for QPR since I had returned
to University. It felt weird watching Sports Saturday again
instead of being at the ground to cheer the lads on.
I can only give you my view of
the game, which was lying on a sofa in my front room over 200
miles away from Loftus Road. I sat quite relaxed and was buzzing
when the reporter told me that Danny Maddix had given us the
lead. "Playoffs now" was my claim, what a plonker.
The next report told of constant
pressure by Rangers with Gallen and Breacker going close, a
comfortable win I thought. Well it seems the fumes from the
local factories had got to me as it all went wrong very quickly.
An Own goal by the goalkeeper,
I still felt confident as half time came and went. The second
half started and we were suddenly behind. Kingsley Black with
the goal and that was that really.
The rest of the afternoon flew
by and my Mum and Sister (who had travelled up for the weekend)
had to suffer me moaning about relegation over dinner. The day
wasn't all bad as I saw Something About Mary at the local Odeon,
which was brilliant.
I read on the mailing list the
next day that it was quite good actually, (the performance now
not the film) and the future could be bright, well brighter
than it looked a week ago.
Man of the Match: Danny
Maddix
