QPR 3-2 West Brom - 1967 Cup Final (Video)

This is a real gem. The atmosphere is amazing. Rangers were the first team from the 3rd Division to make a cup final at Wembley - and win it! They were playing West Brom from the old 1st Division and were 2-0 down at half time. Not a chance then?

3 goals from Rangers in the 2nd half (2 goals in the last 15 mins - all included in this video) changed the whole game. Great goal by Rodneeeeey Marsh and love the challenge on their keeper for our winner. Would never stand today. Great run by Lazurus at the death (at 11 mins in the vid). A nervy ending, followed by the referees whistle and cue some incredible scenes.

Hartless Appointment

My club is VERY quickly turning into a laughing-stock.  Yet another scandal means that we are the joke of English football. No longer are Manchester City and Newcastle United the brunt of all jokes - we are.

I started writing this post when Paul Hart was appointed and by now he's moved on! I don't blame the club for this one actually. You could see after 2 games that he wanted 'effective football' and the fans didn't like what they saw - I've never seen the R's booed off the pitch after a victory before but a combination of bizarre substitutions and tactical suicide meat Paul Hart was fighting an uphill battle.

Magilton had us playing some fantasic football but lost the dressing room. Once it's gone, you can't get it back.  So, who next? Would any respectable manager take the 'challenge'? I would personally like to see a proven manager, with a reputation for passing football. Alan Curbishly fits that bill but I can't see him working with our owners - afterall, that's what saw him leave West Ham. My money would be on a return for Gigi Di Canio in the summer.

The drama continues...
