And do you know what? He's absolutely right. We're in a proper tight spot as a club and need to rally around the team. Yes Brentford are better at football than us, that's quite clear but booing at 1-0 down is f*cking pathetic. Can't fault this team for effort and they've shown us that again tonight. Get behind the boys. | |

Exactly. Now he's apologised can we just draw a line under it and everyone stop being so precious whether you went home or supported Ollie's original comments. | | | |

Holloway slams R's fans on 18:57 - Nov 28 with 2789 views | oldmisery | Yes, I'll admit it, I went home after the second goal. Not my biggest error though, I once left at half time against Newcastle when we were losing 0-4. And, yes, I realise that at the age of 67, I shouldn't want to hit every Brentford supporter that is deriding us in much the same way that I shouldn't want to do the same thing to Foolham supporters but these are local derbies and they are on the television and even in my dotage I still see the red mist at times. And I don't want to boo or even see the point of booing my own players so I'd rather go home early and kick the cat. I was still annoyed about the non penalty award and didn't think we would score if we had 30 minutes of additional time but clearly I was wrong and I hold my hands up to that. I'm still a tad confused though. Holloway originally said something like, 'don't go - our boys need you.' But if half the home support left between the 80th and 90th minutes then they clearly didn't need us! Perhaps all local derbies should be played behind closed doors in future then I wouldn't get upset at listening to the mocking songs of opposition supporters and maybe we might just win for once! | | | |

The Newcastle 5-5 is one of the reasons I never leave a match early. Being a supporter is not the same as being a client, perhaps that is why there is a split on Ollie’s comments. I agree with him but lots of my mates and even family don’t, so be it | |

You're right in saying that it is expensive, on the tube going to the match a group of lads were discussing the tickets they had bought on Monday morning, they paid £39 each.... £39 is far to much. [Post edited 29 Nov 2017 11:28]

??????? - dosen't make it any cheaper leaving after 80 mins though? We all hated it when Briatore said he didn't care about the fans, as they 'just' paid the £20 (yeah right!) and turned up. Surely being a SUPPORTER is more than just paying the ticket price - its then OK to not support, abuse the manager/players and kill any atmosphere by leaving early? | | | |

You know it doesn't make it cheaper leaving at 80 minutes. I know you won't watch as much football as me in a calendar year but you obviously go, so you must understand the point I was making in regards to a cold monday night in december live on tv when we are 2-0 down to our local rivals who we have lost to three times in a row. Just uncalled for and its upset a lot of people who spunk all there wages into this club over a long time, or like the poster above who said about the lads who paid £39! | | | |

Ollie's talks before his brain engages. Stupid dig, he looked like the Terminator on speed, at a dwindling fan base. It worries me where the next generation of idiots are going to come from. When I'm walking to the ground, the locals are going the other way. He has apologised, I assume part forced and part once his alter ego has calmed down as there was still a glint of a smile. Move on now I suppose ...focus on getting the fans back to Loftus Road [Post edited 29 Nov 2017 14:38]

I am not sure if the 39ers stayed till the end it really doesnt matter. But I'm sure they will think twice before forking that again after another disapointing result/performance and getting called out by the Manager. I'm pretty much done talking about it; he has said sorry so be it; just need to go get a result at Preston and Leeds or the pressure will come down on him and the club. | | | |

OK agree move on with that one now! However, you're falling into the short term trap again with your last sentence. Either we/you think IH is the man for the job or he isn't - after all this time surely we know that by now - the next two games won't tell us anything new. We're not suddenly going to win or lose those games 5-0. | | | |

Personally my patience will be more worn thin after Mondays interview than it would have been if we lose the next two games. | | | |

Thought you were done talking about that! If you don't think he is the right man - fair enough - but what I don't like (not you) is people coming on here just when we lose to 'justify' getting rid of him. If he's not the man for you - fair enough - but lets not pretend that say losing 1-0 at Preston has made any difference to your opinion of him. | | | |

Wow, he had HAIR!! Ollie can be OTT, but on the whole he says what he means without pussy-footing around. And anyone who can reasonably expect him to give a calm, sensible and reasoned interview 2 minutes after one of the most incredible last-ditch and totally unexpected comebacks EVER needs to think about getting a season ticket for Crown Green Bowling... | | | |

I don't really know what Ollie means when he says things. Seems like a jumble of four ideas at once and often contradictory ones. | |

Well you keep asking me questions or leave it open for me to reply so I told you my opinion. I agree about certain people/posters just coming in when we lose. My original post was more about him digging at the fans when he could make maybe look at himself - especially his away record as manager since he has Been back which is disgusting. You can not deny he has added pressure on himself and the club with what he said you know our fan base will have something to say at 5pm on the 9th if we get no points in the next two games; Ferdinand;Hoos; fernades everyone knows he hasn't helped himself here. | | | |
