Obsevations from Player Of The Year

[Mellowhoop]

Used to know him in my school days, was nice as pie back then! Look at me name dropping

Personally couldn't give 2 ****s about Rowlands, he's been given it the billy big nuts for years....Cook on the other hand, thats not on!

I was there last night too. First time there and had a table right at the front. Jim White was quality. Blinding night and great atmosphere - does help when you are Champions tho..

Before the awards, Rowlands was in great form. I thought it was bad on NW not to call up Lee Cook or Martin Rowlands up on stage. He got all the team up stage to thank them for the year. He mentioned Kyle Walker and hes been gone since January. Totally understand why Rowlands was pissed off after the awards, just a shame cause whatever his opinion is of NW, the QPR fans always love him as a great servant of the club. No need to tell fans to f**k off when they want a signature or pic - just responded to a few people saying hes not part of the team so wouldn't sign things. Definately gone in the summer, not sure about Cookie. He seemed in good spirits before the awards but never saw him after.

Why did Rowan Rine turn up?? He came in giving it the Mr Big-man but did stay drinking with fans in the resident bar. Rufus B is a legend and always at Rangers games so good to see.

As for Adel, what can you say. In his defence, he is always going to be hounded by fans for pics and autographs but for one night of the year, does he not think its right to stay at the clubs party. The difference between leaving at 10.30 and 1.30 changes opinions. Maybe because he never won the supporters POTY but to leave before the awards was over - disgraceful.

Every player was happy to stand for pics and sign autographs and couldn't be more welcoming to fans even WR who got bad reports for leaving early last year. Shittu must of stayed in one spot for over 1 1/2 hour just having his pic down and signing autographs.

All the players were welcoming with pics and autographs, even if they were dying to nip off to the toilet. Only a handful of players left at 11 - Hall, Dave and Faurlin but AF had his family so can't blame him.

I went down to the residents bar and most of the team were there - HH, Ramage, Derry, Hill, Kenny, Orr, Gorkks till 4am when I left. Ramage even buying us a round of drinks and offering drinks to other Rss fans.

The points issue is out of our hands and we all can only wait for this week to be over. The way club officials were acting - I hoping the obvious outcome.

Thank you for a very constructive report from the night.:pleasantsuprise:

A nice and useful read for a fan from abroad.

Adel doesn't drink.

I know people may have wanted to chat to him, fair enough.
But I also know that I've been desperate to get away from a party, when I've had to stay off the p*ss (maybe driving) and others are on the lash.

He was probably tired, and just wanted some peace, and a kip.

To be honest, he could have curled one down into the rasberry trifle, gobbed in the eye of Spark The Tiger, and been giving it the biggun all night... and I'd still forgive him!

He is what he is.

A very sensible view as far as I´m concerned. It could be that is a bit shy as a person as well.
If Im right,I guess last evening excatly wasnt the right one for him..

you dont mess with Warnock (and rightly so - he's the gaffer). If you aint being played you graft and you graft and you graft and you keep your mush shut - like Hogan and others have done.

Totally agree Scott & well put.

[rickyranger]

If Rowlands is good enough to get in our team (Champions) then there will surely be no shortage of clubs eager to sign him this summer! The facts seem to suggest that he isn't as good as many on here believe, he is/was in my opinion an average player in a poor rangers team that made him look at lot better than he actually is, hence lack of interest in taking him on loan and I suspect signing him in the summer.

Additionally he appears by his actions to be a bit self centered, i.e. when player of the year etc he is nice bloke who loves the fans, things go wrong and he becomes rude and arrogant. I also suspect that as Warnock likes team players he not only doesn't believe he is good enough but that he has the wrong attitude hence not playing him.

[BuzsakyIsGod]

Martin Rowlands is no where near as good as Faurlin or Derry. Rowlands time has gone. We need to move and so does he.

Fook sake, if Shaun Custis is reading this it'll be all over The Sun tomorrow that he actually DID all that - "A source at QPR tells me................."

[SW20Ranger]

This happens at every club, you always have groups of friends, some people you get on with better than others.

Yeh you`re right. Good Point. I get on better with some people at my job better than others. It don`t mean we do not like each other.
