You must have been a 'hard' lad being that far up. I was only semi hard being half way, just under the old commentary box !

  Not really but it was handy for a pint up there lol. It was shitty Camerons if my memory serves.....

What I remember most about that match was the air if inevitability that we would score.

I'd always assumed that giant-killings came from heroic rearguard actions and a scrambled breakaway goal.

But that day, we absolutely dominated QPR from start to finish. Harle's goal was the obvious, logical outcome. It would have been a travesty had we not won.

Here's hoping the ghost of the cack performances that Mick Robinson Gary Banniste, Gary Waddock and Terry Fenwick put in that day come back to haunt Colin's lads on Saturday.

I remember the game for the amount of stick we gave Michael Robinson. He had signed for QPR from the mighty Liverpool and thought he was Billy Big b*llocks. He came down to earth that day with a BIG bang !

I remember John Byrne getting a similar dose, having just signed for QPR from arch-rivals York.  I always wondered whether QPR would have been wise to take a punt on Keith Walwyn as well - those two came as a pair, the Sharp & Gray of the 4th Division.

Who was it who had a goal disallowed for us earlier in the half?  That was the first surge down the terracing.

QPR were at the stage of playing for a draw - to get us back to Loftus Road and the feared plastic pitch - when Harlie struck and \"the crowd went wild\".

Glynn Snodin's first half goal was ruled out for offside if i remember rightly.
