It appears Birch isn’t a fan of the post match celebrations, does he have a point?

Brave guy giving a QPR opinion other than Everything Is Wonderful on Twitter.
I see what he means to a certain extent, and the team he was part of went unbeaten at home in the league for an entire season so he's well qualified. But I don't remember Birch being particularly reserved in his celebrations, and QPR have been so bad for so long I don't see a problem in trying to bring a bit of joy back into our footballing lives. The 'celebration police' trend seems a bit joyless to me. Let people enjoy themselves, life is tough atm.
I think he said in one of his replies he was probably a bit down because he'd received some news about a bereavement. Twitter is really bad for that sort of thing. You put a throwaway comment out there while you're upset, have stuff going on, had a few drinks, whatever it may be, and people seize upon it. |  | | |

This is just sort of what happens these days though isn't it? Guardiola brought goal kicks taken by centre backs to the GK to the English game, Klopp brought us this.
Plus we had a spell where we won about 3 home games in about 15 years and somehow managed to score -1 goals in the Loft End in 5000 games so sod the grumpiness and get it in my veins.
Eccentric characters tend to do well at QPR. Mbengue has QPR written all over him so probably best to just strap in and enjoy stuff like this and him nicking a flag off a Junior R in the goal celebration rather than coming across like a grumpy uncle. [Post edited 22 Sep 11:20]

I mean it is all a bit over the top but all teams seem to do it now celebrate a league win like it's a big game. I can see where he is coming from but don't personally have an issue with it.
The stick he's got from some fans though called, old, fat etc is as depressing as ever, especially after a friend of his died at the weekend which he had just found out about |  | | |

The world Is full of crap, somebody looks well pleased and ''enjoying'' a moment In life and someone has to complain about It.

Mbengue taking the flag was funny… and did you see Jimmy ever so calmly taking the flag off him, like a primary schoolteacher with a naughty boy and giving it back to the ball boy! The captain’s job spec is very broad!! |  | | |

Winning is expected at Loftus road ?
Love Birch but that hasn’t been the case for a few years now.
So he can dance bollock naked from the Stan Bowles stand for all I care.
I loved it. | | | |

Probably going against the grain here... but I'm in the Birch camp re this
Bit different if we won something a cup (be still my beating 💓) or promotion... but a win.. seems a bit over the top
But on the other hand, it is good to see the team enjoying a win with the fans. Guess it comes back to ... in the day when you scored a goal... it was an handshake, well done old boy and kick off... now it is whole dance routines and everyone kissing.
Guess the end of match celebrations have taken off. Yes I'm an old fart... but dread to think what we will do if we ever got promotion!!! | | | |

I think someone might need a little word with Mbengue though...
He grabbed the corner flag during the goal celebrations and I've seen other refs book players for these shenanigans.
He's very much in the M'bia mould for me, strong on emotion and theatrics. Maybe like Warnock, if it was the other team I wouldn't like it, but for us, its OK. |  | | |

We have barely seen any joy in the last ten years. A bit OTT, yes, but it lifted my spirits no end.
With the world turning to shit, I’ll take any joy I can. | | | |

Better than in the Prem where all a supporter would get is exhaust fumes as a player leaves the ground. |  | | |

The same 3 finger salute giving, Jimmy Dunne in front of Luton fans :-).
I’m all for it. |  |

If we can't have a bit of fun with the players after a hard won home win, let's pack up and go home.
I don't come to football to feel emotionally reserved |  | | |

ok, maybe players thinking ENJOY this while we can, we lose a few and the boos etc start
maybe players are trying to build a connection with the fans and come on, how many times did we see the superstars arrogantly walk by on way to ground? the prem years i am talking about.
didnt we love it when mackie scored away at derby to draw 2-2 , tore his shirt off and went ballistic in front of us? | | | |
| Bircham isn’t happy on 11:48 - Sep 22 with 2813 views | ted_hendrix |
People will want goal celebrations made illegal soon Man hugs too, does anybody remember when the the loft was standing room only? when we scored we done the bloody POGO,thousands of us.
Bastard Internet interfering with people having the craic.
Have a nice day my arse. | |

Over the last few years it’s been a common experience to slink out of Loftus Road with slumped shoulders bang on the final whistle and dissect what’s gone wrong again as you power walk to the station.
Much prefer to stay behind and celebrate a win with other fans and the players: football is meant to bring some happiness in life. |  | | |

Wonder if Bircham is watching Mbengue and feeling out-Bircham’d.
I’m sort of hoping Mbengue shows up next with blue and white hair. |  | | |

It would be nice to cheer up Birch by getting him on the pitch for a cheer while good feelings last. Millwall would be ideal. |  | | |

It wasn't the corner flag. It was the big flag that the ball boys wave whenever we score. |  | | |

Stoke would have been better, They still talk fondly about him up there you know. [Post edited 22 Sep 12:15]

It's fun right now but I think if they kept on doing it fans would get a bit tired of having to respond. Mind you, that would mean we kept on winning games, so maybe fans would be fine with it. |  | | |

I absolutely love it and my son, who's 5 absolutely loves it so long may it continue.
Remember it's a young team and the one usually leading it is a nutter but still only 23.
Unbeaten at home, everyone having a great time, fantastic stuff. | | | |

We live in a post Klopp winning celebration world. Why not follow the way he brought this celebration to the UK? We have little to celebrate and to be fair I would have agreed if we'd done this after the Coventry away game!  |  |

I think those of us that are probably 20/25+ are a bit bemused by it at first because we've never really seen it before, but this thing has been the done thing in Europe for a long time, and you know what, I like it.
It means we've won, it is a bit of fun, its another moment that's able to send everyone home feeling happy.
Will it feel a bit silly in a meaningless end of season game? Probably. Will it look silly if you've done it in September and are still relegated come May? Probably.
Is it fun in the actual moment though? Yes. Yes it is.
Carry on lads. |  | | |
