INDEPENDENT - PALACE 2 QPR 1
Crystal Palace 2 QPR 1: Morrison and McAnuff help Palace rule without Johnson

By Conrad Leach

On Valentine's night, this win for Crystal Palace ended with more of a whimper than a bang, although given the extent to which the Eagles' playing resources are stretched, Iain Dowie was not about to complain about extending his side's run to just one defeat in their past 11 games.


That fine form has helped the south Londoners not only to push into the play-off places but emerge with a healthy points margin between themselves and Cardiff, who lie just outside the top six. For their part, the visitors, with Gary Waddock in his second game as caretaker manager, suffered his first defeat.

Injuries played a part for Palace not only before kick-off but also during this London derby. Among the Eagles' more prominent absentees was their top scorer, Andrew Johnson. With just three minutes gone, however, Clinton Morrison showed that they can do without the England international when he closed to within one of his team-mate's tally of 10 League goals this season.

QPR failed to deal with a simple high ball into the penalty area from Gary Borrowdale and the Republic of Ireland striker waited for it to come down before hooking it past Paul Jones.

But it did not take long for the injury curse to strike once more, as Morrison's strike partner Jon Macken then limped off after quarter of an hour. It proved a blessing in disguise as Dougie Freedman replaced him and after 32 minutes he set up the second goal. The Scot beat Ian Evatt to the ball out by the touchline and found Jobi McAnuff, who scored from 10 yards out.

QPR made a change of their own before the break, in the shape of Paul Furlong, although, unlike Palace, no injuries had caused his entrance. With the visitors two goals behind, Waddock sacrificed his full-back Marcus Bignot, reorganised his defence and went for a more attacking approach.

He was almost rewarded with a goal just three minutes after the break when Furlong's shot was touched behind by Darren Ward. Nevertheless, Furlong scored the goal he had hinted at getting eight minutes later when, from Steve Lomas' cross, he headed past Gabor Kiraly.

Crystal Palace (4-4-2): Kiraly; Leigertwood, Boyce, Ward, Borrowdale; Andrews (Hughes, 78), Watson, Soares, McAnuff; Morrison, Macken (Freedman, 15). Substitutes not used: Speroni (gk), Fray, Grabban.

Queen's Park Rangers (4-1-4-1): Jones; Bignot (Furlong, 38), Evatt, shiteeeeeeeetu, Milanese; Rose; Donnelly (Baidoo, 71), Lomas, Langley, Cook; Nygaard. Substitutes not used: Santos, Kus, Thomas.

Referee: A Hall (West Midlands).


Brentford Official Site - BRENTFORD 1 QPR 1

Rangers have had to settle for a share of the points, after Paul Furlong's first half strike was cancelled out by Brentford's Kevin O'Connor.

Furlong's first half strike had given Rangers a half time lead. However, having conceded a free-kick from directly in front, O'Connor followed up his blocked strike to find a way through the Rangers defence and level the scores.

The score was just about fair with neither side able to create to many clear opportunities in the second period.

Ian Holloway had started with Paul Furlong in place of Tony Thorpe, as he looked to add physical strength to the Rangers attack, while Chris Day also returned in goal.

However, the Rangers manager was forced to make an additional change to the starting line up, which was only apparent as the teams ran out - Eric Sabin coming in on the left of midfield to replace Kevin McLeod, who had fallen ill during the warm up.

Rangers started brightly, with Eric Sabin's dipping volley inside the first five minutes just sailing high of Alan Julian's crossbar.

Martin Rowlands was receiving some special attention, Jay Tabb lucky not to be booked for a tackle from behind on 11 minutes.

Furlong broke the Bees offside trap on 12 minutes. Bircham flick on fell to Gino Padula, whose long ball found Furlong in space. The Bees defence scrambled back, but Furlong found Rowlands making the run down the flank.

The former Bee however could not bring the ball under control before he was closed down by the retreating Brentford back line.

Holloway then moved Rowlands to the left wing, where he was greeted 'warmly' by the main stand, with Sabin moving to the right.

Rangers began to assert themselves with some flowing football, and took a deserved lead in the 20th minute.

Steve Palmer sent in a volley from the edge of the area, his shot falling to Furlong who had dropped off the back of his defender. Julian saved well from Furlong's initial strike, but the Rangers striker was first to react to the parried save, and sent his hooked strike sailing into the back of the net to the delight of the travelling Rangers fans.

Brentford immediately responded with a set piece which looked goalbound. Steve Hunt's free-kick from deep on the left was flicked on by Michael Dobson, and only a first class save from Day, which he tipped over the bar, kept the ball out of the Rangers net.

Kevin O'Connor could have levelled the scores on 34 minutes. Dobson's long ball fell to the feet of O'Connor directly in front. However, the Bees striker could not apply the finishing touch, and Rangers maintained their one goal advantage.

Rangers continued to push on, Furlong and Sabin working well in the 39th minute. Furlong won the aerial challenge against his defender, and Sabin collected the loose ball, but his volley was deflected off the boot, sailing in to the stands for a corner.

A Rangers attack turned into a Brentford opportunity in the last few minutes of the fist half. Ben May Bore down on goal, with Carlisle hot at his heals. Padula went down to apply the tackle, but May had already pulled the trigger - but the Bees striker shot wide.

Steve Palmer was cautioned in the dying moments of the half for a strong challenge, before the referee blew his whistle to bring an end to a lively first half.

Rangers shot out of the blocks in the second half, Furlong crossed for Sabin, but the French striker could not apply the finishing touch as the ball flashed across the face of goal.

Brentford replied with a flowing move through midfield. Hunt turned with the ball at his feet on the edge of the box, with Terrell Forbes bringing him down for a free kick directly in front with the half only six minutes old.

O'Connor fired his free kick into the wall, but he was first to react to the loose ball - his second attempt finding its way through a maze of legs, wrong footing Day, to level the scores.

Padula sent in a teasing free-kick on 64 minutes. His well weighted ball found the head of Carlisle at the far post, but the Rangers central defender was adjudged to have fouled Bees 'keeper Julian as he climbed for the ball.

Matthew Rose did well to track Tony Rougier who broke down the left half-way through the second half. Rougier turned Rose, who went to ground, but the Rangers defender recovered to apply a first rate tackle, to deny Rougier a shot on goal.

Padula played in Gallen with a quick free-kick on 69 minutes. Gallen's cross found Sabin out wide, who cut his low cross across the face of goal, but Rowlands was unable to turn the ball home.

Ian Holloway then introduced Jamie Cureton in place of Eric Sabin with just over a quarter of an hour left on the clock.

Rangers continued to push, Cureton bringing under control a defensive clearance by Forbes, to find Palmer in space in the centre of midfield. Palmer chipped over the top, to find Bircham facing goal. But the Rangers midfielder was shielded off the ball.

With only five minutes remaining, Forbes played the ball to Cureton's feet eight yards out with his back to goal. The Rangers winger turned with purpose, but sprayed his shot wide.

A minute later it was Cureton applying pressure inside the Brentford box again. He turned his defender on the touch line, finding Furlong - but tight marking meant the striker could not get his shot away.

Rangers then won two successive corners, first from the right then the left. However, on this occasion, there wasn't to be a last minute winner, and Rangers had to settle for a share of the points.

Agents Spending and Players off to Portugal -


February 14, 2008 - QPR OFFICIAL SITE - MID-SEASON TRAINING CAMP

The QPR First Team squad jetted off to Portugal today (Thursday) for an intensive five-day training camp on the Algarve.
Flanked by Chairman Gianni Paladini and First Team Coach Luigi De Canio and his backroom staff, the 30-man party arrived at the luxurious Ria Park Hotel and Spa this morning.
Located in the Algarve, the Ria Park Hotel and Spa is based in the exclusive resort of Vale de Lobo.
Set in a ravishing green valley overlooking beautiful sandy beaches and the blue Atlantic Ocean, the hotel boasts its own training facilities and gymnasium.
De Canio, who believes the trip will pay dividends when the R's return to competitive action against Sheffield United next weekend, told http://www.qpr.co.uk: "We're not playing any matches, but it will certainly not be a holiday camp. We will train every day and it will be very intense.
"Furthermore, it provides a very good opportunity for our new-look squad to bond with each other."
From tomorrow (Friday), both the QPR World cameras and www.qpr.co.uk will be following the QPR squad every step of the way in Portugal.
Ranging from player interviews to exclusive picture galleries, we will be leaving no stone unturned to provide you - the fans - with all the latest news from the South Coast of Portugal.

QPR's Spending on Agents Fees - Latest Report
-
The latest Football League Agents' Fees for the period from July 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007 shows QPR paid 230,000 pounds (as compared to 187,000 pounds in the same six month period, a year previously. (The really big spenders were Leicester and Charlton.) See Agents Report: Agents Report.

QPR OFFICIAL SITE - AGENTS FEES
The latest Football League Agents' Fees Report has revealed that payments to agents by League clubs are at their lowest levels, relative to total transfer spending, since the publication of agents' fees began in 2004.
In total, League clubs committed to pay £7.9m to agents compared to £6.2m for the second half of 2006.

However, the resurgent transfer market also saw League clubs spend a total of £42.1m on player acquisitions compared to the £21.7m spent twelve months before, an increase of 94%.

Football League Chairman, Lord Mawhinney, said: "I am encouraged that a more buoyant transfer market has been coupled with a more disciplined approach to clubs' dealings with agents.

"Between July and December 2007 payments to agents, as a proportion of total transfer spending, fell to 19%, compared to 29% for the same period in 2006.

"This season's figure is also significantly lower than the 23% recorded in 2005 and the 63% recorded in 2004.

"Whilst £7.9m is still a lot of money leaving the game, it is clear that we are beginning to make progress in terms of establishing a fairer balance in the relationship between clubs, players and agents.

"When The League introduced the publication of agents' fees four seasons ago, we did it because we believed these figures should be a matter of public record and debate.

"This debate prompted changes to The League's regulations on agents, such as prohibiting the practice of 'dual representation'.

"These changes have since been more widely implemented across the game, following their adoption by the FA in their new agents' regulations."

The report reveals that clubs committed to pay agents in 15% (283) of the 1,913 player transactions that took place during the reporting period, collectively committing a sum of £7,930,378.

Championship clubs accounted for 84% (£6.7m) of this total, with League 1 and League 2 clubs accounting for 13% (£1.0m) and 3% (£206k) respectively.

A total of nineteen clubs did not commit any money to agents during the last six months (Blackpool, Crewe Alexandra, Hartlepool United, Huddersfield Town, Accrington Stanley, Barnet, Brentford, Bury, Chester City, Chesterfield, Dagenham & Redbridge, Grimsby Town, Hereford United, Lincoln City, Mansfield Town, Notts County, Peterborough United, Rochdale and Stockport County).

DAILY MAIL
Keeper coach out in QPR soap opera

There has been yet more turmoil at Queens

Park Rangers, the Championship club careering

out of control, with goalkeeping coach Tony

Roberts being suspended by manager John

Gregory, who gave no reason for his decision.

Roberts, who has been at Loftus Road for more

than 20 years as player and coach, was told to

leave the club without warning by Gregory,

whose own position has been a matter of speculation,

after a training session last Sunday.

It is believed that Gregory’s action is in some

way related to the departure a week earlier of

QPR press manager Jackie Bass, who has been

the live-in girlfriend of Roberts since last April.

Bass, barred by Gregory from the dressingroom

areas of the training ground and the stadium

earlier this season, is known to be consulting

lawyers over the way the club released her.

There has been talk of an unfair dismissal claim,

possibly including allegations of sexual discrimination.

Bass also felt her job had been made

untenable on the administrative side.

It might have been felt by the under-pressure

Gregory that any claim of this nature would

make it difficult for Roberts to remain within his inner circle at QPR.

The soap opera that is QPR has included an

alleged hold-up at the club of chairman Gianni

Paladini by seven men who were cleared of various

charges, the mass brawl against a China

team and the yearly accounts lodged at Companies

House differing by millions of pounds from

the figures approved by shareholders.
