Definately a Saturday, I remember it well. Missed half the goals because I kept going down to the bar under the Loft to celebrate and we would score another. Despite the score, their keeper actually played well.

This was my first ever QPR match and got me hooked. My Dad who was an R since the 40s took me along and we sat in SA Road. It was in 1979 and a midweek match

This was also my first match at Loftus Road. We caught the train up from Newton Abbot for my first visit to London. My mum and sister went off shopping and then my dad told me we were off to Rangers when they disappeared. I don't think there was a happier child anywhere that day and then to witness a 7-0 win was unbelievable. Still the biggest margin of victory I have ever seen and a day that will still with me forever. :

Did you mean the 8-1 drubbing we gave them in the League Cup (Milk Cup?) round about 84-ish?
Freezing cold day in October.
Or were you thinking of another game?

Anyone remember this game?

I remember standing in the Loft terraces unable to believe what I was seeing! :pleasantsuprise:

thought this was going to half time prediction thread.......

Would love to see another 7-0 half time or full time -- don't think we could be that lucky.
If it were 7-0 at half time I'd be thinking I'd died and gone to heaven...

That was my wedding day, stayed in a hotel in London and had a bit of luck as it was the featured game on match of the day, that went down a treat with my new wife.

However you start as you mean to go on !!!

Was definitely Saturday night Match of the Day. Featured on a video a few years back called - appropriately enough - Match of the Day Seven Goal Thrillers. I know, because I have it.

[W6hoops]

Yes I remember it well

[Sotonsuperhoop]

Great game remember it very well and the singing 'we want 5' at half-time, then 'we want six 6' , 7, 8 etc Great days!!

Was quite young then and remember standing behind the goal in the Loft, but looking at the video posted earlier I dont remember it being so full.

[RamseyR]

I've said on here before. I was 13 and went to all the home games and all the london away games that year, but a few days before this game I broke both wrists and had both in plaster and ......my mum wouldn't let me go!

I still remind her of this now and I'm in my mid 40s now

Yes it was 8-1(getting old!) , and we lost the second leg 0-3 so an aggregate of 8-4. I remember not getting my head round that, football's a funny old game.
Soz for changing the subject, I fancy a win today against the meat pie and sausage roll men, but not a 7-0, be nice though

Supporter conversion

Having my youth supporting Burnley, (my grandad came from Burnley) I was at Loftus Road to witness a hammering by rampant QPR late October 1979, shortly after that I moved to West London and my love affair with the R'rrs started, till I die...my allegiances will 200% be behind the R'rrrrs. Today's result 2-1 to Rangers.

[BUSHRANGER1982]

Yeah, was on the Loft, slap bang behind the Goal, 7-0 what a thumping, and poor O'Rourke, fancy making your debut as keeper and letting 7 goals in.

I think if history happens to repeat itself, and we thump Burnley 7-0 today, I disappear into a lager fuelled haze, and not emerge for several days, well, not until the Reading game,anyway.
