Desperately sad, however a good life well-lived has been commemorated fittingly by the club, what a touch of class. It would be nice to think - in a similar way to how Frank Orton's death was part of the inspiration behind the success of 2005/06 - the whole club could unify behind the idea of a succ...

LOL @ having a pop at Madejski for giving a straight answer to a straight question and also accusing him of spin. Yes, I am wholly unsurprised to see the usual mentalists queue up to have a pop at JM here. Those who are disrespectful of one of the most important positive influences in the entire lo...

Madejski's comments about the trigger-happy nature of the shareholders was about the only thing of interest from the moribund press conference/interview snippets I have seen, particularly given how bewildered the new managerial incumbent came across as. We miss the transparency and honesty of our fo...

No one asks for more money cos nobody cares
Even though they're pretty low and their rent's in arrears.....


He could have written that about RFC tbh.

Top Flight Do Dutch managers tend to bring success?

LOL @ assuming people from a certain nationality might 'bring success'. Not all Austrians hate Jews

Didn't he have a hit with 'Matthew and Son'?

Winners: Germany
R/U: Spain
England: QF
Wales: Last 16
ROI and Ulster: Group stages

The former defender is manager of Championship club Reading, reports De Telegraaf Thursday afternoon...

First Reading-born player to go on and represent England having started at the club. A good life, well lived and one worth celebrating.

Comes across as a decent chap in that article, I don't really understand the h8 for him, I can think of individuals infinitely more deserving of grief for their part in the downturn over the past 3 years. Good luck at your next club, no doubt he'll go on to do better over the next year or 2 than RFC...

I have a useful equation for working out the correct answer to such conundrums:

Things from 20 years ago > things from now.

LOL @ social media and the print/broadcast media meltdown as England defeat a perfectly serviceable Portugal team by a catrostophically minimal 1-0 margin :lol: These pre-tournament games are always a crock, just a trumped up training session in all honesty. Pre Italia '90 England due 1-1 with Tunis...

leon You're lying in a news grave.

Brian's win rate was Trente Percente

Next time you cross the road.....don't bother looking!

I think we could end up being next season's Suzanne Charlton tbh.

- Must have previous knowledge of managing in The Championship. A track record of success in that division would be desirable. - Must have good scouting linking links. - Ideally would have held some other backroom roles in order to present as a more rounded candidate. - Must have a track record of a...

Forbury Lion I can imagine one of her communications managers pulling off

Phwoar!!

The North Stand should be renamed 'The Southbank'.

What I've done is wait until Lady Sasima is asleep and then poured a packet of crisps into her mouth. Then when she wakes up she has a mouthful of soggy crisps, leaving her completely flummoxed.

Whatever the rights and wrongs of the decision today, a big thank you is due to Brian McDermott for the way in which he conducted himself during a difficult few months for the club and for himself. There are a number of moments from your first very successful spell which are up there in terms of my ...

I have heard McDermott is being sacked today. I have also been told that it won't be Stam replacing him, he's already turned it down!

These owners are out of control aren't they
