By the way did anyone get Trevor Francis co-commentating on the game back home? Although he came out with some good points,i really did not realise how anti-Rangers he is. He really does not like us at all. Sounded very bitter....................LET IT GO TREV, LET IT GO,lol  Cheers, Jay |

yeah i was listening to him, and had to switch off the commentary as his "speaking through his nose" drooling voice was annoying the crap out of me.

He was very anti R's.... according to him Adel should've been booked for catching the ball a few cms inside the touchline when he was trying to take a quick throw-in and at least two more of our players deserved red cards!!
Sour b....tard shouldn't be allowed commentate on matches, bring back Tony Gale

We got his commentary down here in SA as well - sure has a massive chip on his shoulder when it comes to QPR.

Ditto and it wasn't as if Taarabt was trying to catch the ball inside the pitch FFS.

Agree his constant anti-Rs chit chat was wrong and unnecessary.

Too right Jon, was about to say the same myself.
I'm not sure if he is anti-QPR or just one of those commentators (like Bob Willis at cricket) where everything must be either great or rubbish, no middle ground, no shades of grey.

Agree about the commentary, over the top bias against us.

He was just being hasty, he thought it was out. |

I thought he was incredibly bias-but then he always is with us! Ridiculous to suggest a caution for Adel catching the ball-its only cautionable given the context and position on the pitch and whether he is seeking an advantage-it was clearly a mis- judgement and correctly awarded as a free kick. Francis also tried to say there was a deliberate stamp on the head-which was again not shown by the cameras !!
The only good point of his comments was praise in general of Taraabt !!
