I believe it was Andy Walker. I looked him up afterwards, he was a striker for Celtic and was also capped by Scotland.
How he and the Sky commentator held it together, I'll never know. They were so professional and matter a fact in spite of the utterly dire football the teams were "treating" them to. Respect to them both, the pundits, that is  |

Great post.
To add to that, after 10 years in this division, 10 years in which, so far, we have got nowhere near going up, I think most fans are suffering from "mediocrity fatigue".
On a positive note - steady now - I feel like we would normally have lost the last two games, so that's progress of sorts, I suppose. |

Agreed, although we were very poor, at least we kept a clean sheet and didn't go away empty-handed.
For most of the second half, that felt to me like a defeat waiting to happen. A classic QPR capitulation seemed inevitable.
What on earth happened at halftime, did someone swap the energy drinks for Ovaltine and a couple of Nytol? We were so passive, as if the game were already won.
One other thing: I may be mistaken but we didn't seem to have anyone who could successfully dribble a football, not even over a short distance. I'll admit it's a difficult skill, I was never good at it, but my word, it's a real concern if we have no one capable of that. |

Cook's patience ran out as he watched our attacking players trying to score, so he just hammered one from distance. Close, too. |

Hang on, I think we *are* going to score. The wind is so strong that it is blowing the ball towards the net as their keeper prepares to take goal kicks.  |
