QPR 1 Ipswich 2 MICK HARFORD launched a scathing attack on his Rangers team following their dismal first-half noshow against Ipswich. Tension in the stands was at breaking point at the interval after Roy Keane's men tore the Hoops apart, with David Norris and Daryl Murphy providing a two-goal cushion for the visitors.

Harford said after the game: "As a professional club that firsthalf was unacceptable. My players were lacking effort, lacking commitment and that was what disappointed me more than anything. I asked at half-time if everyone postcard printing was Thomas sabo charms up for the fight and checked if anyone was up for coming off, because I wanted people to show a bit more b******s to be honest."

Jay Simpson managed to pull one back for the hosts, but a draw would have been far from a deserved result for Rangers, whose instability was exposed to its core by a galvanised Ipswich.

"If you don't start right against a good team like them, you'll get hurt, and we just couldn't get momentum going and were chasing shadows at times. They carved us open," added Harford.

Rangers were Replica prada wholesale a shambles from the start, and after eight minutes Norris was allowed space to cut in from the right and hit a shot that deflected into the net off Damion Stewart.

Rangers then should have found themselves two down as Norris had a header parried by keeper Carl Ikeme, but Pablo Counago somehow sent the follow up wide. With murmurs of discontent coming from the home fans, Murphy scuffed a shot inches past the post.

On 37 minutes Jack Colback's cross from the left touchline found its way to the middle of the Rangers box, for Murphy to smash in from 10 yards.

That prompted the inevitable replica balenciaga handbags walkout by a proportion of the already diminished crowd, with over 50 minutes of the game still to play.

The now familiar chant of 'Sack the board' echoed round the stands at half-time, and chairman Flavio Briatore did not retake his seat for the second half.

Ipswich fans, meanwhile, taunted Rangers with chants of: 'You should have kept Jim Magilton', one of the many bosses axed by Briatore.

Harford used both his remaining cards at the break, with Akos Buzsaky and Adel Taarabt replacing the ineffective Nigel Quashie and Hogan Ephraim.

Rangers had some hope on 65 minutes when a short corner was driven into the box and turned home by Simpson. They pushed on in the final minutes, but couldn't break through, and crashed to a fourth consecutive defeat leaving them just two points above the drop zone.

Ipswich manager Roy Keane, said: "We should have killed the game off and used the ball better in the second-half, but we didn't and we had to suffer for the last 10 minutes."

SOMETHING curious took place in the recent past - many youngsters lost the knack of growing-up.

Getting to the age of 10 was fine. And 11, 12, 13, etc...

But everything got rather tricky when people - invariably men - stumbled into their 20s, traditionally the period when folks from previous generations knuckled down to marriage, family and forging ahead with a career.

This new generation had more pressing engagements: playing computer games; building-up DVD boxset collections; learning new skateboarding tricks.

Why grow up when you can be trapped in teen-hood forever, without a spoilsport mum and dad to tell you when to go to bed? The world of novel writing didn't go unaffected by these changes. Authors, after all, don't just comment on their generation, they are members, too.

In Britain, this army of greying, balding forever-youngsters produced Nick Hornby as their screeching Sergeant Major.

In America, Hornby has his rivals. A group of writers sprung up who were smart, witty and talented. But they avoided the brow-furrowing sincerity of a Tolstoy, Dickens or Graham Greene. Instead, they used Breitling Replica Watches their skills to jump on the pop-culture bandwagon.

One of the most celebrated members of this group is Michael Chabon. Chabon loves comic books, Lego, the Pixar movie Toy Story, blockbuster movies, sword and sorcery yarns...

Yet despite this passion for goofi-ness over gravitas, he has built a reputation as one of America's most important novelists.

Chabon is a past recipient of the Pulitzer Prize, one of the most prestigious literary awards in the States.

Yet on the side, he has found time to dabble with a script for one of the Spider-Man movies.

Try to imagine James Joyce doing that.

Chabon's latest book is a collection of autobiographical essays, focusing on his struggle to become a fully functioning adult, as is evident from the title, Manhood For Amateurs.

The author takes on a variety of deep subjects, though usually from a starting point of frivolity.

For instance, in the first chapter The Loser's Club, he recalls that when he was a boy, he attempted to start a fan club for comic book collectors.

Chabon's mother hired him a room for the inaugural meeting. She also loaned him her typewriter, so he could punch out a newsletter for the Columbia Comic Book Club.

An advert was placed in the local paper. On the chosen day, he went to his hired room and set up a conference table, along with half a dozen chairs. Then little Michael sat down, and waited, and waited...

Nobody arrived.

It looked like it was going to be a complete wash-out, when a couple of heads popped round the door. A woman with her son. The boy at the door had clearly been expecting something a little more dynamic.

The lady, perhaps feeling sorry for Chabon, tried to push her son towards the desk. The kid pushed back, refusing to enter a room that reeked of failure. Nobody joined the Columbia Comic Book Club that day.

Which may seem an insignificant story in itself, but Chabon's aim is to make a profound point from what initially seems like piffle.

He turns the little story of the lonely comic book fan into a meditation on wri

A MAN who armed himself with a plank of wood and prepared to fight outside a Bundaberg nightclub appeared in court yesterday.

Justin Anthony Dodd, 30, of School Street, Kelvin Grove was with a group of men at the Central Hotel on August 30 last year, when his group and another bunch of men began to stir each other.

The court heard that after the two groups of men were thrown out of the Targo Street pub the "verbal slanging match" continued on the street.

Defence barrister Simon Burgess said his client was outnumbered by four bouncers when he made the decision to "defend himself" with a plank of timber.

Dodd was charged with a public nuisance offence and obstructing a police officer following the incident.

Replica fendi wholesale

He also had a suspended jail sentence hanging over his head at the time of the offence, which was due to finish on October 1.

Magistrate Jennifer Batts said his early plea of guilty was a positive factor during the hearing.

"While it's a significant history, it is overwhelmingly for dishonesty-type offences, which you seem to have put behind you," she said.

"The events of August 30 are of concern to the court, but as Mr Burgess says and I accept, you have made genuine efforts at rehabilitation... and I would hope there is every prospect for your future."

She fined Dodd $660 and extended the operational period of his suspended jail sentence to May.

KEARNS -- After a 4 1/2-hour manhunt, police arrested a man suspected of shooting and killing his ex-wife's boyfriend Friday afternoon.

The shooting occurred about 5:30 p.m. in front of a house at 5726 S. 4580 West. A woman and her current boyfriend, Amos James Pacheco, had just dropped off three children, ages 9, 8, and 4, to visit their father, Joshua James Montoya, said Salt Lake County Sheriff Jim Winder.

The children went into the house and Montoya, 26, came out to the sport utility vehicle parked on the street and confronted his ex- wife and Pacheco, Winder said. Police believe the two men argued before Montoya pulled out a gun and shot Pacheco, who was still sitting in the passenger seat of the car. Pacheco, 25, lived with the children's mother in Taylorsville, officers said.

replica balenciaga handbags

The victim was taken to Intermountain Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.

Winder said Montoya fled on foot with a handgun. The search, aided by dogs, centered first in the immediate area of the shooting, where some witnesses said they had seen Montoya enter a neighboring home. However, no sign of the suspect was found, although four homes were searched by officers, and the effort was widened to include the Kearns and Taylorsville areas, where police said Montoya has many friends and family.

At about 10 p.m., police saw a man who matched Montoya's description at a home several miles from the shooting get in a car and drive away. Police said Montoya knew the people living in the house. With the help of several detectives, police pulled the car over and boxed it in at 4136 S. 6000 West.

"He didn't try to flee," said Unified Police Department Lt. Don Hutson. "He gave up without a fight."

Montoya and Pacheco both have gang connections, police said, but they surmised Replica prada wholesale that the shooting was sparked by relationship issues, not gang rivalry.

Damian Anderson and Shelby Mason were in Montoya's neighborhood hanging posters about a missing cat when they heard what they said sounded like homemade fireworks.

"We heard a popping noise and then tires squealing and people screaming," Mason said.

The initial screams were muffled, but Mason said she could eventually hear one woman screaming, "What an idiot!" She was unsure who the screaming woman was.

Mason and other witnesses said they heard tires squealing, but police are unsure where that sound came from since Montoya fled on foot. When they arrived, police found the vehicle in front of the house next door to Montoya's, but they could not confirm that's where it was when Pacheco was shot.

After police confirmed Pacheco's death, his girlfriend's wails could be heard several houses away where reporters were standing. Ultimately, the mother was allowed to leave the scene with her father and the children.

Hutson said at least two other people were inside the house with the children when the shooting occurred, some of whom were likely Montoya's family members.

Neighbor Juanita Drew said this wasn't Montoya's first violent act in the neighborhood.

"Josh has been in trouble before. He has been known to carry guns." She said that Montoya had a run-in with her husband on one occasion. Montoya had been loitering with a group of people in their neighborhood and her husband told him to keep walking. Montoya apparently felt threatened and fired a

PICK OF THE DAY

RUGBY UNION: IRELAND V ITALY, 1.30pm, RTE Two

IT'S the day we've all been anxiously waiting for: the first match of Ireland's defence of its Six Nations championship. And while a home game at Croke Park against Italy, the minnows of the tournament, may seem like an easy start, Declan Kidney's men will be keen to assert their dominance on the competition from the opening whistle. No doubt fly-half Ronan O'Gara (pictured) will be glad to get his teeth into a match after putting in the hours on the training pitch, and his right boot will surely play an important part in this afternoon's match.

Fendi Replica Handbags

And later England will host the Welsh dragons at Twickenham, in what is sure to be a bruising encounter.

ART OF RUSSIA, 5.15pm, BBC2

ORIGINALLY shown on BBC4, this suitably majestic three-part series features charming art critic Andrew Graham-Dixon exploring Russian art. He starts in Moscow, where he delves into the origins of the Russian icon, from its roots in Byzantium and the first truly great example, Our Lady Of Vladimir. Ravishing stuff.

THE VIRTUAL REVOLUTION, 8.15pm, BBC2

CONTINUING her earnest exploration of the impact of the web, Aleks Krotoski examines how it has affected global politics. She looks at how, in June 2009, it was Twitter that leaked news of the presidential election protests in Iran, through the fingertips of the people -- making the internet the perfect instrument for revolution.

FILM: INDEPENDENCE DAY, 8.30pm, Ch4

GRANDIOSE special effects steal the show, but there is still a human heart beating in this mega-budget sci-fi disaster film, thanks to the chemistry between stars Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum. Mostly, though, you watch for the bits where the world's landmarks -- including the White House (pictured) -- get blown to smithereens.

CASUALTY, 9.25pm, BBC1

IT'S starting to look as though Jessica and Adam's relationship might not survive the recent tragic events -- well, it doesn't bode well if you can't bear the sight of your other half. Meanwhile, Sylvia Syms plays a patient suffering from disturbing visions of a clown -- not something you'd wish on your worst enemy.

FILM: KILL BILL: VOL. TWO, 10.45pm, BBC2

NOT as good as Vol.1, this concluding part of Quentin Tarantino's assassin odyssey buckles under the weight of its own dialogue and convoluted back stories. Worse, the final clash between Uma Thurman's Beatrix and David Carradine's Bill is pretty much a damp squib.

CASTLE, 11pm, RTE One

THE last time we saw Nathan Fillion he was up to his neck in trouble as Adam Mayfair, the beleaguered husband of Katherine in Desperate Housewives. Clearly TV executives liked what they saw, because he's now headlining this new crime drama about author Richard Castle, who is called in by the NYPD when the murders in his books start happening for real.

FILM: AS GOOD AS IT GETS midnight, Ch4

OLD-FASHIONED comedy drama, this stars Jack Chanel Replica Handbags Nicholson as a dastardly curmudgeon who takes a shine to Helen Hunt's (pictured with Nicholson) resilient single mom, who works as a waitress.
