Re: another, thants right another embargo for late PAYE payments - a new embargo

In the EFL ruling for the recent 1pt deduction (3pts suspended) the club were clearly arguing Dai had the money, it was purely a cashflow/timing issue in getting it out of China. The events of this last week have clearly shown that not to be entirely accurate: - We had a month to get the 125% of wag...

Re: Bag policy

Re: BFTG Villa

Following the comments from Oliveira and Gomes in the press conference today, and the talk from local journalists and fans on social media and indeed here, most people seem to be agreed that accident or not the real failing here is on the FA for choosing not to review the footage due to a rule that ...

Re: Financial Fair Play

I suspect FFP is just being used as a convenient phrase, when in reality its more about preparing for a possible relegation. Which is fair enough and sensible this +1 This whole transfer window has been about protecting the club from FFP in the event of relegation. We sold two players for c. £3m ea...

Old Man Andrews It's Ady not "Adi". The level of disrespect towards a club legend like him is disgusting.

Re: BBC Radio Berks

Gomes is going to prove Dim Dellor wrong, 1 - Dellor isn't saying that Gomes is going to be a failure, his argument is simply that there is little in the guys CV to suggest that he will be a success (particularly versus other managers who at least would start with experience of our club and/or the ...

Re: BFTG QPR

Not sure how anyone can accuse Swift of having an awful attitude, this is a player who left Chelsea and came down to Reading as he was hungry to be playing football week in week out. Yes he's young, yes he's still developing his game, yes he can frustrate at times (as well as dazzle) , but one thing...

Re: BBC Radio Berks

sometimes it's clear Mick doesn't prepare as much as he should (e.g recently claiming to have no knowledge of Gomes so wouldn't offer up an opinion - it's your job to commentate on the club so perhaps just spend 15mins having a quick Google before going on air at the very least?). Tbf Mick has a jo...

Re: BBC Radio Berks

I really like Dellor, the fact he's a fan and cares so much makes it all the more interesting. Adi and Mick add depth as ex-pros with a passion for the club. My only two criticisms would be that sometimes it's clear Mick doesn't prepare as much as he should (e.g recently claiming to have no knowledg...

Re: Club 1871

I actually think it would be a decent idea to move the away fans to the west side of the SS , then the SS singers can be closer and interact with Y25/26. This 100%, especially if the long term aim is to help spread or enhance the atmosphere further around the ground. Also, if we are still open to n...

Re: Witty?Humorous Player Nicknames

Stuart 'Archie' Lovell Turned up for day 1 of training at Reading, nothing went his way, coach called him over and told him that the worst player he ever saw was a lad named Archie and that he must be Archie. Not only did the nickname stick, but when Lovell left Reading to join Hibs he thought he'd ...

Re: New Royal Rewards Loyalty Scheme

Anyone got their points for the Gillingham game yet?

I was expecting 60 (20 for attendance, 10 for each goal, and 20 for the win) but so far nothing has been applied.
