Bolton and Swansea fans really don't appear to have a very high opinion of him. However, the Pompey lot seemed to really rate Paddy Lame so.............
Good move this. Think he has done as well if not better than most of the summer signings. Hopefully LRs knowledge and contacts of players will see an up lift on the Jacobs, Lane and Burns (although last 3 games he's been decent) type signings. Maybe this Tom Pearce link and a couple of others will s...
This might go against the grain, but I’m not convinced Savage is especially progressive in a forward role. He’s got a cracking left foot and his right is serviceable, but his default too often feels sideways or backwards. While he’s capable of a good pass, he can also be wasteful in possession. To m...
Any news on when Rhino might return? Zim are out of Afcon and I know he had some family issues to attend to. Not interested in the details (other than I hope all is resolved positively) just if we can expect him back soon? Be good to get R Williams signed up too, I think their versatility may end up...
I was wondering why it's The Ding and I have a theory.... When the fans chant "reaaaaDING" it does sound a touch like the Ding. Hasn't that always been the case? and sounds more like readIN to me. Seems clear its the use of the last 4 letters just don't know why in the last couple of year...
I am a previous vintage fan and can assure you that I have only heard Ding used in the few seasons and I dislike it! In my early days it was always "The Biscuits" and I still have my blue and white rattle (remember them?) with those words painted on. I would gladly hit whoever coined the ...
New Year message from RC https://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/2026/january/02/a-new-year-message-from-chairman-rob-couhig/ Have none of his lackies told him, it is not the 'Ding.? It's fairly commonly used. You say that, and I guess over the last couple of seasons it has become more widely used. Howeve...
In a season where the standard of refereeing in this division rivals UK water companies for incompetence, this guy still manages to stand out. He makes Thames Water look positively accomplished and professional. After the Wimbledon match, I’d hoped we’d never see him again. Frankly, we’d be better o...
Hope this is not due to loan fees not being paid. Pure speculation but coincidental in line with sudden question marks around other financial queries that have just emerged. Hopefully all BS but really do not need any more financial ambiguities
