Re: CONFIMRED - The 2nd final countdown

in celebration, I shall be attending Rob Couhig day on Saturday dressed as the Statue Of Liberty, I shall be loud, brash, completely ignorant of all history, and shall be chanting 'USA USA USA' throughout the match. And in homage, I shall be in the good old US of A on Saturday! When our flights wer...

Re: why don't more people from Ethnic Minorities support Reading?

Asians do not like football. I never played football for or against Asian players in the Sunday leagues. But cricket was a different story with loads of Asian players. Sometimes entire clubs. We have a lot of eastern europeans in west Reading maybe we could target them? I don't think that's necessa...

Re: why don't more people from Ethic minorities support Reading?

And not enough women either. Why isn’t the club’s diversity officer doing something about it? Disagree. Think Reading has a pretty strong female support. Get all ages both home and away. . Very definitely. I also think Forbury makes a very good point about how supporting a particular club tends to ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol Rovers (a)

WestYorksRoyal Just focus on ourselves. Most galling scenario would be if Huddersfield do us a favour but we don't get our own job done.


But that would be so, so like us! :cry:

Re: Opposition fans back from the game - 24/25 page 225 onwards

During the game, both. Bemoaning the fact they gifted us 5 goals but commenting that we just took every chance handed to us. Hurts more because Reading didn't have to do anything really, certainly didnt break a sweat did they To me it felt like we gifted them every goal through errors we made in ou...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Lincoln City (h)

Pretty dreadful tbh. No energy until injury time That triple sub must go down as one of the worst I’ve seen - Bodin and Carroll, are let’s face it - useless - and a dodgy Yids was a poor option at PB when Garcia was making some reasonable inroads there Kelv got about 5 mins in his best position.

Campbell was fouled half a dozen times today and every time the ref gave nothing Never do. The officials in this league let these physical teams like Lincoln get away with murder. Knibbs was shoulder-barged square in the chest, right in front of the ref and in clear view of the AR, to knock him ove...

Re: Confimred - Bindon to Nottingham Forest

Yeah, but any argument unpicking our sell-on clause might then be used against Forest to unpick sell-on clauses of their own, so it might not actually be to their benefit. Not sure it’s a case of an ‘arguement’. It would just be a fact. Obviously all contract negotiations are games of chess and I w...

Re: Playoff home semi and Are You Listening festival

I've booked a 2 week holiday driving around remote Scotland starting on the 10th, finishing with a wedding on play off final day on 25th. It shows how much this team has exceeded expectations, as it never crossed my mind it would clash with the play offs. I've been through lots of play off heartach...

Remaining fixtures Reading Lincoln (12th) H Mansfield (18th) A Bristol R (21st) A Barnsley (11th) H Seriously, I can see us winning AT LEAST 8 points from those fixtures; probably 10 and quite possibly 12. Might need to as, apart from playing Wycombe, Leyton Orient have a pretty easy run in. They d...

Snowflake Royal Jesus,how is Fletcher not interfering with play, he literally body checks Rushesha away from being able to challenge for the ball.


I thought my eyes must have been deceiving me but clearly not. Abysmal officiating there by the AR and ref!

Re: BFTG - 'boro

Having watched Charlie S's post match interview, he calls the manager 'Hunty'. Given that players tend to refer to their manager as 'boss' or 'gaffer', how do peeps view this? Over familiarity when, perhaps, things aren't going quite so well? Or a true sign of unity given the off field circumstance...

Interesting interview by Dellor with Savage after the game; basically the players feel less pressure and are able to play with more freedom than under Selles. Probably helps of course that he's starting every week. Will be interesting to see what Noel does when Elliott is fully fit. Yes, he seemed ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Peterborough United (h)

Don't want to be sexist but that lineswoman was pretty shocking, no? No. IMO she was better than many we have had. Got most of the calls right. And I was staggered at the number of fans giving her abuse for not flagging for a throw for us when part of the ball was still clearly touching the touchli...
