Re: Ex Players

Nice to see Charlie Adam celebrating a promotion with Dundee. Seemed a decent chap in his time here Agreed - I thought he showed his class with us and great to see him returning to his boyhood club and winning promotion with them. Yep. Was a bit of a joke when we signed him, but our best run of per...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

The official club site says we activated an extension clause for Nevers similar to Morro so we will get a proper fee.

If that's the case its probably good business to get a fee now as I can only see him being involved in the cups this season.

Re: Mike Conroy

Pathetic dismissal of the huge achievement of 2 promotions and a Cup competition in which we beat 3 top flight teams - all in the space of 5 years. He may have been limited but he was a very successful manager for us. Oh, and I’m not usually one of those tedious pedants with such an empty life that...

Re: Who do you WANT to win the play-offs?

Interesting to look at Barnsley's recruitment this summer given they'll have to do without Dike next season. Wouldn't be surprised if Ismael hasn't put himself in the shop window. Heard him linked to the Palace job already. Would be very surprised if any Prem side came in for Ismail....he's only ha...

Re: Mike Conroy

Greetings, one question, Mike Conroy played for Reading in the late 80's. He was a center forward, right? I’m not usually one of those tedious pedants with such an empty life that I have to point out spelling mistakes, but, in this case, I feel the need. Unless you originate from the USA, It’s CENT...

Re: Mike Conroy

Mike Conroy arrived in 1988 while Ian Branfoot was manager. Ian didn't leave his position as manager until October 1989 (despite, as I recall, Reading being on an unbeaten run that included the 6-1 at Swansea). He was a stiker but he usually got played anywhere but and it certainly wasn't uncommon ...

Re: Mike Conroy

You are definitely thinking of David Crown, who left to go to Cambridge and had a new lease of life as a forward instead of on the right wing where he played for us. I thought he was pretty decent for us during his time here. Going back to Mike Conroy, I may have tried to blot this from my memory a...

Re: Mike Conroy

My recollection is that he played mainly as a winger for us. Wherever he played he wasn’t very good. ...2nd part is a tad harsh - he certainly went on to three very prolific spells after he left us, racking up a total of 80+ goals in three seasons with Burnley, PNE & Fulham. I recall him as a p...

Re: The hardest player to ever play for Reading?

Is it possible to select a "hard" XI? Presumably the keeper would be the hardest position to agree on though suspect Marcus would be the obvious choice but then Steve Death for some reason I think would be a contender. Alternatively any keeper prior to the 1960s could probably be a rival ...

Re: The hardest player to ever play for Reading?

1) Hurlock without a shadow of doubt. 2) Billy Whitehurst - nutjob. 3) Mick Tait - but not in the same 'intimidation' ranks as Hurlock and Whitehurst. Bikey was just bonkers ... he wasn't 'hard' per se Pretty much agree with this top 3....they all played for us at roughly the same time too, althoug...

Didn't he score the winning penalty in a league cup match v Darlington or someone? I think he scored the equaliser at 3-3 with some sleight of hand at a corner. Do Darlington still exist?
