Watch: Ian Holloway Blasts QPR Fans Who Left Before Late 2-2 Comeback

It's been far too long since we had a classic Ian Holloway post-match press conference, but the drought ended on Monday night after his side somehow managed to secure a point despite trailing to Brentford 2-0 in the 91st minute.

QPR were poor for large parts of the game, and as it looked like the result was set in stone, home fans started leaving Loftus Road in their droves.

But football is a funny old game, and those who decided to stick by their team were rewarded as Matt Smith headed home from close range in the 92nd minute, before Luke Freeman bundled the ball home in the 94th.

An important point for QPR, avoiding a derby loss to Brentford in the process, you'd think Ian Holloway would be happy when giving his interview to Sky Sports, but instead, he rather brilliantly took a cut at those fans who left early.

Half our fans had gone home.

What I'd like to say to them is; you should have stayed. Yeah? Our boys need you, you should have stayed.

Why didn't you stay?

Everybody who did, well done, fantastic, you deserve that as well, but go home early. If you don't want to, stay there.

That was almost like the start of a hip-hop diss track, I felt ashamed for leaving early and I watched the game on television in Dublin, and I am not a QPR fan. That's what Holloway gives you, post-match interviews with impact.

In the grand scheme of things, a point doesn't help QPR too much as they still sit in 16th place, two points behind Brentford in 14th, but it's a show of character and one that was badly needed after three bad defeats in a row.

QPR fans, don't leave early next time, or else you'll have to answer to Olly.
