Tim Dellor just posted that Brian McDermott also in attendance and I think will be on commentary duties. So that's The Amazons, Sir Steve Coppell, and Brian McDermott. I'm starting to get very excited.... Funny, after the news that Coppell will be there I was just wondering whether McDermott would ...

I think I might know who Huang Kad is. Narin Niruttinanon was mentioned in the thread by someone and they might be right. Someone pointed out that they've been posting about RFC on Twitter/X for about 11 years. That fits with when the Thais arrived. Something else i noticed from their posts this wee...

If Orient make short work of Huddersfield, the atmosphere at the stadium could get deflated very quickly, hope 1871 and the surrounding blocks are up for a good bit of cheering regardless of what is going on in the Orient game because the team deserve the support. Was about to say similar. We need ...

https://royals.org/matdoc/080297.html Anyone have memories of this game? I must have seen it on Final Score as I vaguely remember Quinn in goal and Morley scoring. Think that was when I first became properly aware of Morley. Having looked into it more there were no Prem games that day because it was...

I'd report it - calling fans, particularly those on their own a C--- is just not on. I go to games on my own, and despite being a fully grown adult, I still feel a bit self-conscious and lonely somehow. To be targeted like this would probably cause me to leave. I totally get this. I've never been t...

Bumping this up as i downloaded Championship Manager 2 9697 last month. Up to the start of October and currently 22nd on GD.. despite being +4 points compared to the corresponding games in real life. Early days but can't believe that we stayed up that season :shock: Early contenders for POTS - Boris...

I’m so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you, CR, and his family and friends. He was a great poster and I always used to enjoy his posts, especially on the academy. He was so knowledgeable on the youth that I was always convinced he must have a connection to the club. He’ll be missed on here...

There used to be a fans network site (forget its name now), knew someone who used to update the Gillingham site. By contrast the Reading site was dead (guessing everyone was on here instead) but I remember posting on it once and Brebner actually replied :shock: When we signed Gorkss I told a QPR fan...

John Clarke and Mamadi Camara both offer glimpses that they can be of use to the team and then disappear for 6 months. Anyone know any updates on them? Surely it's time to call it a day, they've been doing this for years now? I believe Clarke has an ACL injury so season ending. Camara I think initi...

I think he spent a while as Chris Evans’ sports guy when Evans started doing the Radio 2 breakfast show. Yes he did, they spoke about that pre match. Didn't listen to Chris Evans on R2 that often but seem to recall him telling Evans about going to watch us on a Sat but not admitting that he was wor...

This bloke on the BBC Berks commentary is superior to Dellor in every way. You absolutely know when you've scored with him that's for sure. Brilliant passion! Was pleased to hear Jonny Saunders was doing it again, he hadn't done it for ages (Hull away under Ince he said so almost 2 years ago i thin...

Stranded mentioned in another thread earlier in the week about how we've tightened up our defence. One thing that occurred to me today was that this has happened since Andrew Sparkes left.

In the 7 games we've played in all competitions since then just 3 goals conceded.

A rare game for me, and even rarer away. My first trip to the Valley, was in the home end (went with non Reading mate) just behind the Charlton dugout. Disappointing result but it wasn't a 0-4 performance, in fact until Charlton scored i thought we were marginally the better team. The first goal act...

as reported on BBC website this morning... Wrexham's 107 points breaks the National League and professional English single-season points record. That BBC comment :? The National League isn't fully professional is it? Unless I've missed Maidenhead turning pro, thought they were still semi pro. Natio...

The Mail article also mentions about not paying the wages on time in November, suggesting it could lead to a separate deduction or another suspended penalty.

On the other hand, the year we got promoted he kept the most clean sheets in the league and won POTS (I think). Nope, he came second to Alex Pearce. Oh, ok - runner up. My bad :roll: I remember Gorkss didn't even come in the top 3 that year despite being our best centre back (IMO). Karacan was the ...

In reality, it was a pretty even game after the early howlers from Adam Liability. I've just watched them back and I'd forgotten just how bad they were. Just after the 2 minute mark in this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPxBikbaEQs Gunnarsson's shot was closer to goal than I remember. The...

Sutekh And the winner is…..



…. Away to Man U so at least we can watch the defeat on the telly while coining the cash

Millsy Ince is Mystic Meg and I claim my £5.

When thinking of the draw yesterday I thought of that exact tie
Didn't realise Ince had mentioned it yesterday.

Orion1871 Rinomhota awarded MotM in televised Cardiff-Leeds Cup tie.

Which surprised me as apart from his assist for the 2nd Cardiff goal and one block tackle i'm not sure how involved he was in the game.

Baba with an assist today And an assist of sorts for Portugal's second goal as well, should have been intercepting the pass really. Only saw the last 25-30 minutes after work but seemed as if he had a decent enough game going forward on the few opportunities he did and he did well with the assist, ...
