20:00 Mr Dowd blows the whistle and off we go. QPR kick off
20:01 Both teams are sporting giant centre forwards with our Peter Moller hoping to play better than in his debut
20:03 Game is a bit frantic with Fulham winning the first corner of the game
20:04 Bjarne Goldbaek takes the corner. He swings the ball in but the ball is cleared and it falls to Bjarne again who strikes the ball well. The Keeper tries to catch the ball but spills it Peter Moller tries to snap up a half chance but can't make it.
20:07 Steve Finnan sends the ball in for Louis Saha to have his first run but QPR are able to gather the ball and clear up field
20:08 Ouch Rufus Brevett has clashed with a QPR defender who is being taken off on a stretcher. The Ranger was slow in pulling out of a tackle and paid for it. It looks as if QPR will have to sub the player. At least it looks as if Rufus Brevett is okay. So Paul Bruce comes on for Clarke Carlisle and Fulham get the free kick.
20:14 QPR now win a corner within striking distance of the Fulham area. Everyone other than Peter Moller is back in the area. The kick is taken and Andy Melville clears up to Fabrice Fernandes with ease.
20:16 Sean Davis is hacked down and has to receive treatment. He gets up okay but must go off before the Ref lets him come back.
20:17 Ref Dowd has covered 5 Division One games and has given out 8 yellows and 1 red in those games
20:19 Fulham are able to make some sweeping moves. Louis Saha has the ball and is in a position to try a shot ooow it looked good but the Keeper was able to collect the ball
20:21 Lee Clark collects the ball in the centre of the pitch he looks up and finds Louise Saha but QPR are able to intervene
20:23 QPR try to mount an attack but Connolly gives the ball to Fulham
20:24 Kit Symon works a move with Peter Moller but QPR are quick to react and break the move up.
20:26 Steve Finnan surges forward toward the QPR penalty area and he sends the ball into the path of Lee Clark but Lee can't get to the ball.
20:28 Louise Saha has the ball and is running at the QPR goal but a QPR defender makes a good sliding tackle and takes the ball away.
20:29 Langley makes a mistake and Peter Moller tries to take advantage but the ball runs off for a QPR throw on
20:31 QPR mount an attack and the ball is passed into Baraclough but Andy Melville is there again.

20:37 Richard Langley has to go off and is subed by Kulcsar
