Derby can f*** off, we always seem to struggle against them.

 

Aye but monobrow isn't at qpr anymore, they'll probably stick 3 past us. I'd rather take my chances with inevitably-relegated derby county.

oh dear mr redknapp and qpr could end up in a bit of trouble with fifa

 

Dodgy site, my antivirus blocked it.

 

The South Korean football governing body on Friday rejected comments made by Queens Park Rangers (QPR) head coach Harry Redknapp that his defender Yun Suk-young was given permission to stay with the English club away from an ongoing pre-World Cup training camp.

 

  Yun's availability has been a sticking point between the Korea Football Association (KFA) and QPR. The second division English club will face Derby County in a one-and-one showdown for promotion to the top-flight Premier League for next season.

 

  The KFA has tried to bring Yun, recently named to South Korea's 23-man squad for this year's FIFA World Cup, to the training camp since last week. He had been scheduled to arrive in South Korea on May 14.

 

  Under FIFA regulations for the World Cup, the mandatory rest period at club level for players on World Cup rosters is from May 19 to 25 and special exemptions "may only be granted by the FIFA Executive Committee."

 

  The controversy took a turn for the bizarre on Friday, Korean time, when Redknapp was quoted as saying on Sky Sports' website that South Korean head coach Hong Myung-bo had actually allowed Yun to stay with QPR for the key match.

 

  "It's fantastic that the Korea coach has allowed him to stay in England and be part of our team for the game," Redknapp said. "We are delighted with that."

 

  An official with the KFA said Redknapp's comments were not true.

 

  "We've never given QPR the permission to keep Yun Suk-young (for the match)," the official said. "For the past few days, QPR officials haven't answered our calls. Coach Redknapp's comments make no sense at all."

 

  Yun remains the only South Korean player missing from the camp. The KFA has said it already asked QPR for cooperation earlier this month and that the national team's Dutch assistant coach, Ton du Chatinier, has also contacted QPR coaching staff over Yun's release.

 

  Recently asked by Yonhap News Agency what potential penalties QPR may face for playing Yun on Saturday, a FIFA spokesman responded, "It will be up to the FIFA Disciplinary Committee to decide on the opportunity to open disciplinary proceedings, should such a case occur, and decide based on all the specific circumstances of each case."
