Tough one: Believe Pete and Scott who reported back from meeting with Paladini (at which point Pete "revealed" I'd had secret meetings with BP in the USA ) and "announced" there was QPR file on QPR report... Or believe the club which unequivocally denied that there was a QPR Report File at the club...

Well that puts to bed the clandestine / furtive accusations. It's before I was even a director and long before I'd ever met GP. But still, why let facts get in the way of snide digs. Reading that brought back very happy memories, was it near Tyson Sq? Dylan, Kevin and Report. Great night. U Rssssssssss!!

Has there ever been a more risible pair than "Pete & Scott" ?
Pete & Scott meetings with Paladini ?
What did our great club do to deserve this ?
Dear oh dear, you really couldnt make it up, to think that this shower have smeared a double European Cup Winner & see it as some kind of badge of honour, absolute filth the whole lot of them.

What struck me at the time was that they meet with Gianni and then I always presumed from Gianni comes the "news" that I'd met with BP.
Obviously it wasn't as they presented it.
And it wasn't a secret. It was a minor post at the time on dot.org or one of the other boards that some DC-Area fans were meeting up with a QPR fan from England (not a QPR board member at the time).
But it had been years previously. And then after this meet with Gianni, came the "ineuendoes" from Petey as if something duplicitous and secret had occurred.
And it was at a time before Gianni had become involved in the club.
So sure made me wonder!

That's exactly right. (I guess when you have so many secret meetings, they tend to blur...)

I managed to speak to Daniel Laryea on the phone this morning & this afternoon I received a reply to most of my questions!
The reasons I was given for the delay were a number of urgent issues that had to be addressed first & that the minutes had to be approved /shared with a number of other parties. The one question without any reply was who were the club reps at the meeting. I asked this as an addition in my 2nd E mail.
I have been assured that the minutes from the meeting will be published on the website on Monday (27/6/11). This was of course the main extent of the replies I received & so I have no prior knowledge of the minutes.
To be fair, I was also given a full list of the OSC Committee members (7 in total) & that all but 1 of them was at the meeting. I can't name these individuals as I have not asked the club for permission to do so.
I have replied to Mr Laryea asking him to let me know who the club reps were (if on the minutes no need to) & what the date & venue for the OSC EGM are.

Joe Kyle of Marketing was the QPR Rep at the meeting. Are the members of OSC a secret society.

Just Joe Kyle? One club rep to 6 OSC would indicate that the club didn't attach much importance to the meeting.
Also as the manager of Daniel Laryea I'm sure they could have given me these replies 2 weeks ago. Perhaps the minutes will explain all!

Kyle was the only one there thats why nobody else at the club could give you any answers. So who are the OSC members then terry.

Sorry Bushman, all E Mails from QPR stipulate that distributing or copying any part is prohibited.
The information I gave above was told to me over the phone without any stipulations!

Very strange,
The reply I sent to daniel Laryea yesterday has bounced back to me twice. I hope this means that there system is down rather than that he has left the club or my messages have been blocked!

When i did late kick off Ian Taylor went out of his way to make my day at Rangers awful and sent down i think Paul Morrissey to issue me with things not to say. Taylor told me on the phone once he was a QPR fan which is bollox he is a huge Tottenham fan and i am told even missed QPR games for his love of the spuds.
He goes out of his way in my mind to run QPR as pravda for the current QPR board and has little or no respect for fans who do not see this board as a good thing for our club. His press office no nothing about our club our culture and he will only be happy when we play the spuds and he can meet his real love up close and personal. He should be sacked in his role he and his office have made our club a laughing-stock.

I must say when I met Mr Taylor on Tuesday this week. I found him to be very helpful and it was he who told me to contact Mr Kyle or Mr Laryea on the matter of the OSC.

That's exactly right. (I guess when you have so many secret meetings, they tend to blur...) Kevin, Dylan and me in DC although you probably can't recognise us due to the disguises and camouflage. Can't remember who took the pic???

Paparazzi took a snap of someone leaving the club that day who they said shouted at them in an incomprehensible language.

Right now with all the negativity surrounding our club and after the Paladini V FA cock up, one would have expected the club and it's PR employees to be on the ball, on their best behaviour and trying to appear open, honest and sincere, unlike the clandestine secret nature they are displaying. This isn't the singapore F1 I'll have you know.

By the way if anyone thinks i am being harsh on Mr Taylor i think anyone who uses chelsea scum players on our website in full kit and their club captain to sell season tickets at our club should be kicked the feck out. What will be the club song next season Ossies Dream reworked?
I tell you this now anyone even if they are a QPR that puts a picture on our official site with one of them bastards in full kit as a good reason to come to QPR is a fecking idiot and should be kicked out simple as that.
