Bump...6 years ago. Doesn't really matter now, either way. Just one of the many things back in the world of QPR
[Macmoish Bump/Edit: Six years ago - Just a small strange thing that we wondered about at the time]
Message from Gianni Paladini
I received a phone call this morning from Gianni regarding the attack on his wife Olga.
He said that she is okay and now on her way to making a recovery… But he said he was pointed in the direction of a few threads on various message boards yesterday evening. Both he and Olga sat down to have a read through them and he said that they both were just completely blown away and humbled by the support shown by so many different people.
He said that some posters said in their message that they aren’t his biggest fan, but they still took the time to write such touching messages all the same - and that those were especially nice to read.
He also said that he hoped everybody was enjoying the great start to the season that we have had – and that he would give anything for it to all end now!
He re-iterated just before he went -
“Please, please let everybody know what a boost it was to receive those messages from supporters that took the time to write down a few thoughts for the family. I can't tell you how much it meant to us...”

"Saw a couple of pictures this evening of Gianni's wife who has been badly beaten up during an attack on their house in the Midlands
I am sure that all posters on both here and other sites wish her a speedy recovery and sincerely hope that this was not in anyway related to his position at the club regardless of what opinion you have of him and the family in general
I know that his personal home details have been published online elsewhere on a couple of occasions and been promptly removed but may I stress that I am making absolutely no connection with this incident and I hope that what ever pond life made this attack are brought to justice ASAP "

An update from Joe Hylton on Petes site
"I saw Gianni after yesterdays match as I was standing outside The Springbok. He wasn't his usual self, by that I mean chatty and smiley. We had a brief talk about the game .... a very brief talk, and then he told me about the attack on his wife that happened on Friday at their family home. Now if I'm right Gianni didnt find out about this cowardly act until after the PNE game. His daughter by all accounts, phoned him and and then sent through photos of Olga to his phone ..... Gianni showed me a photo - Olga looks like she done ten rounds with Mike Tyson! Her face is a mess.
Gianni told me that he was on his way back to the Midlands to see his wife as she had been discharged from hospital.
I dont think any self respecting person would wish this on anyone, let alone for this type of disgusting act to happen to woman.
I just dont understand the type of low-life(s) that would take part in such a stomach turning act!
Totally back up your words above Beefy .... Both Kathy and myself wish Olga a speedy recovery and hope her and Gianni can get back to a normal way of life very very soon.
