Thread | "Our Rangers Back"
at 12:45 6 Aug 2023
OK - disclaimer first - anyone paying and going can sing what they want (within the obvious parameters) - but what DOES the "We want our Rangers back?" actually mean?
On the playing side - a 3rd division team too good for the 3rd and 2nd tiers but woefully under prepared for the top - 1969?
Nearly the best team in the whole country - 1976?
The best team in the 2nd tier, but again woefully under prepared for the top - Warnock OR is it the ownership side - but really the Jim Gregory one man band just wouldn't work today and has anyone really been a success on that side since?
Sooooooo anyone who sang it, or anyone who hasn't - what DOES the chant really mean/want? |

Thread | Computer help (Non QPR)

Hello all,
Not been on here much - taking a break from football - on line and refereeing!
Meanwhile..... someone who has always sent me emails and vice versa now can't send any to me but receives mine OK. he's tried sending from laptop and phone and i've tried checking my end as well.
Odd thing is when someone hits "Reply to all" when he has sent one I see his email and address perfectly fine.
Any ideas?
Happy for any technical experts to PM me if you need anymore info!
Thanks all - look forward to being back on here once the season starts to discuss the merits of Manning, handballs and offsides once more  |

1) 11 hour inquest on Saturday!
2) Can we please just leave him alone until after the last game, he is doing his best and if we don't stay up it won't be for lack of effort and commitment on his part
As he said, lest get to the end of the season THEN sort the club out, no point trying to do iot now with sackings, boycotts, protests and yes booing the players. |

Thread | Mitrovic
at 16:15 6 Apr 2023
Firstly apologies if one of my 'friends' on here as started a thread on this verdict, but can't see one. What do we think on the punishments (pending possible FA appeal)?
Mitrovic - 8 games + £75,000 fine
Manager - 2 games and £40,000
Fulham £20,000
Thanks
Takes your mind off tomorrow for a bit is the way to look at it! |

My usual service to the loyal readers of LFW.
Nothing significant
Summary
Extra person on fop (ie Messi's goal at WC) fine as long they don't intefere
Goal celebrations listed as a seprate reason to add on time
'Kicks from the Penalty Mark changed to Penanlties (Penalty shoot Out) - what an improvement THAT is!
Some additional definition/waffle around what is a deliberate play v deflection re receiving the ball from oppo when in an offside position
"Challenge for the ball" added to "Deliberate attempt to play the ball" for DOGSO in the penalty area but no red card
Goalkeepers must not fail to show respect for the game and opponent at penalties - ie World Cup again - who says IFAB are only reactive
In summary nothing to worry about and if you need help sleeping or forgetting QPR for a while - link gives full details of all the "changes" [Post edited 24 Mar 2023 15:49]

We're now out to 20/1 for relegation, but bizarrely, after being favourites for nearly every match prior to Watford we are now (fractional) outsiders for Blackpool. |

"No logic in that because I'm homesick in Luton and then I decide to go to Spain. I enjoy a challenge, I want to be the best version of me. I could have stayed in a mining community, been a PE teacher and had a nice life, married a nice Welsh girl. Beautiful. I didn't. I want to test myself on every level. And that's nothing against Welsh women," he mused." |

Probably only Clive interested but just had to post this.
Apart from the dramatic forecast for snow, which they publish every few days and is never accurate, does no one even proof read this stuff any more.
"terrific child care"
"things meant to be 13C"
"upcoming forecaster"
It is so badly written its laughable

Thread | My Mum
at 16:10 22 Jan 2023
Sadly my Mum passed away yesterday.
Not unexpected as she had been in decline for several months..
She had a long and happy life (would have been 88 next month) and that's all of us can ask for.
As a 62 year old I realise I was lucky to have for so long.
From a QPR supporting family she married another mad QPR fan and she and my Dad were very happy.
Rather apt that she passed away around the time we scored yesterday and that I found out while in W12. I saw her last on Thursday.
She was always asking me about "the Rangers" and my refereeing, so I will continue on here, even though I might not get quite so worked up as usual in the next few days if anyone starts talking nonsense about the laws!  |

Source - Site administrator on RefChat and ex high level referee
"Breaking news. At the FIFA World Club Championship IFAB have agreed that the referees will wear microphones and be audible to the crowd. and TV audience so that decisions can be explained.
Also, the World Cup strict timekeeping leading to much more added time is to be adopted in all football going forward."
Discuss!
1) Will last about a month if widely adopted
2) Difficult for Howard Webb/PL/EFL/FA to ignore if it does indeed become an official edict from IFAB. |
