Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

Deby fans have spent a lot of time (ironically) accusing Northampton of time-wasting, S***housing, and cheating (Shout out to Gayle and Hourihane!) However, there does seem to be some acceptance of this by Cobblers fans on their forum. Just hope we get a stronger ref than the useless git we had agai...

Re: Potential New Owners

ITK Eddie: I understand sports . com are not one of the two advanced prospective bidders for #ReadingFC. When asked to, they were unwilling to cover the club’s shortfalls while Dai is able to pull the plug on a deal. This is who we've missed out on: Sports . Com (S.C) is owned by lottery technology...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Loafer i have heard on the grapevine that a takeover is imminent from somebody who goes to the same hairdresser as ruben selles


Is it Finn Hair in Woodley? as I heard they both enjoy the occasional Saveloy and a spam fritter from the chippy next door.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I obviously don't agree with death threats or threats of violence, but football fans notoriously have a dark side. One day a situation like this may end very badly for a crooked owner. Pang and Dai will probably be fine as Reading fans aren't so bad, but Imagine how this would end if someone was do...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

For those saying protests don't work, I'm fairly certain if we got every game abandoned from now until the end of the season, bringing the entire competition into disrepute, things would start to move very quickly Yes, we would very quickly be ejected from the Football League. Sadly there are still...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Speaking to someone at the club today and there is real fear now. Even the most senior figures don't understand what Dai and Pang are doing and they can't rule out 'shenanigans'. I know that every course of action seems futile at the moment - but the only thing that has a chance of working is putti...

Re: Wycombe will be culpable.

Where exactly do they think Reading are going to training after it's sold? There's clearly no plan at present. Other than renting our facilities back off them all the alternatives are pretty dire for a professional team. Think you have answered your own question. They neither think nor care where R...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

This will be spun as giving the club a lifeline as it will give us the working capital required to keep on going for a few months more. That may (or may not) be true but it doesn't solve the long term financing issues we have and actively makes finding a new owner harder (which would solve the long...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a)

Bit pointless to blame the reason we lost on the actual reason we lost? Is this guy for real? It all evens itself out over the course of a season. There will be games that if you look back on, were decided by decisions that went for us. Name them… or just one… obvious this guy has never lived up to...

Nope.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

But why would he effectively give money to Dai, that he'll never see again. He's too old to get involved again. I guess, if he is contemplating buying the training ground - and I think his visit was nothing but conincidence - then I don't think it would be a purchase of the mind but of the heart. H...

That first 45 mins was as bad as it gets!! the players obviously got a bollocking during the interval and came out looking much sharper and actually looking like they want to win the game!!

PieEater TBH I was singing not to worry about a thing, and didn't realise it had changed for "the Ding", but I think "don't worry about Reading" works better.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Port Vale (h)

That was much more of a struggle then it needed to be. Vale were mostly poor. Persistence and hard work won it for us, even if quality was in short supply. Even before his goal Wing was my MOTM. And what a strike that was. But then he’s my player of the season, so I may be biased. Mbengue, Binden a...
