Totally admit it was a ****** stupid thing to do, one of them things, one to many pints, thought it was a good idea at the time, what a pr*tt!

They said I can apply for it to be taken off in 2 years with good behaviour on the plus side.

3 years without QPR is going to be a struggle!

Seeing as this bloke got the same ban and a smaller fine than me for slapping a steward!

3 years seemed a lot to me too, glad I'm not the only one that thought it was.

Yer you can park your car nearer so after you throw your flare you can speed off. How about a flashbang to hide your escape?

the

the fine must fit the crime and he should have got a three month ban not a three year

Or a Fulham season ticket.

[Jeems]

Under the terms of the order he must also not go within two miles of any regulated match involving QPR for four hours before and after the game.

Cant even pop in to Westfield! Seems a tad harsh.

Apart from at LR, how would this ever be enforceable?

[Jack4QPR]

Or a Fulham season ticket.

I would rather have a 10 year ban.

What happened to the Birmingham lot that threw loads of flares at LR?
