Big Match revisited QPR v Burnley 1974/5

https://youtu.be/1uW8ReRgOTQ?si=9c27Q72nJlkOtt5CNot sure whether our goal would have happened now or that we would have ended with 11 players on the pitch. Blatant QPR penalty ignored because the ball went to a QPR player!

This game was just a week after being beaten at home in the FA Cup by Wimbledon. Remember going to watch us at Newcastle just a month or so later and a win would have put us top of the league. We put in a dreadful, timid display and were well beaten 3-0.

An excellent side despite previous week’s loss to Wimbledon, great wing play from James and Thomas but finishing much like 2025!

Better than the next Qpr v Burnley game to be televised.

Poor old Billy O'Rourke made his debut in a 7-0 drubbing during the 79-80 season which unsurprisingly saw us drop into the third tier for the first time in our history,

I remember thinking it can't get any worse than this....how wrong I was.#

i anyone can bear watching it again.

Looks weird now seeing the Goalkeeper picking the ball up from a pass back.

I love the classic simplicity of those 70’s kits.
