QPR hunt Cantona revenge 15 years after Loftus Road controversy - History

[MYU]

QPR face Manchester United at Loftus Road this Sunday for the first time since Eric Cantona's infamously late equaliser back in 1996. Paul Parker is the featured player connection this week.

I was at that game. It was agonising. I remember coming out of the ground after feeling totally depressed about the whole thing.

Revenge time this Sunday!

Will never forget that game. It demoralised us and was a big reason as to why we went down.


Where that ref got 7 mins of injury time I will never know.

I was fuming about that for weeks. Can't believe it was 15 years ago, feels like only a few years since the worst example of Fergie time ever!

Looking at those results at the bottom of the article, we actually have don't have that bad a record against United; a lot better than most teams of that era.

They haven't beaten us by more than 3 goals in the league since 84/85.

What I never understood and still don't to this day is, the ref said 7 minutes of stoppage time due to our keeper time wasting.. If that was the case how come he wasn't booked or at least warned about it

The injury time in that game seemed like an eternity. It was nearly 5pm when the final whistle went iirc.

I'm convinced that, had we hung on to the lead, not only would we have stayed up, but Newcastle would have won the title. The self belief it would have given us, and the demotivating effect on Utd could have been massive

Is a horrible memory that I will never forget. I was in Ellerslie Rd that day as well...even closer to goal and their fans.

Would have completely changed the outcome at the end of the season for sure, especially when you beat them! But never to be and now is the first time we have got to bury the hatchet

[Kimimar0]

Hated them ferociously since then, what a robbery. We will get our win this Sunday.

I was just a kid at this game, I swear I can remember seeing a few bloke at the lower loft at the full time whistle trying to get on the pitch so they can beat the ref up. I even saw one or two grown men crying at the bar!!!

[bushcelt1]

also was in ellerslie near the manc's for this.....a very sombre feeling after.

[TBLOCKRANGER]

Remember the game, gutted. Also detest the United for Parker plus chasing lady boys in Brazil rather than playing the FA Cup. FA cup has never been the same.

[silvercue]

Don't look back in anger - we have a chance to control midfield if JB lives up to his hype. Fancy us for a draw. That will hurt them more than us, so revenge of a sort.
