Re: An Update From The CEO

I'm not one of the people throwing their toys out but let's be honest, that statement says the square root of nothing. Anyone who expects any more than vague platitudes from a club statement of this nature is an idiot IMO. Then why bother making the statement at all. If what you say is correct, and...

Re: An Update From The CEO

I'm not one of the people throwing their toys out but let's be honest, that statement says the square root of nothing. Does it? They've said the manager search is nearly done, and pretty much put the rumours to bed of Pang and Dai fcuking off. It actually says plenty if you read between the lines a...

Re: New manager rumours and speculation

In all the kerfuffle, is it not the case that the longer it goes on that Wilder is not appointed by a club other than Reading, then the more likely he is to be coming to Reading?

Re: The dedicated Chris Wilder thread

I think that probably is Wilder on the pic. Checked google images and he does favour wearing black and there is one pic where he is wearing what looks like that top. Also it would fit with his ears slightly sticking out at the top, you can see that on other pics. So if that is correct and the person...

Re: Local journalist

….and again I agree Under the Tin ‘GetReading’ is an absolute dog-pile…it’s just a back-slapping outlet for the ruses of Reading Borough Council…there are no ‘journalists’ daring to challenge them, and very little actual news. I do a fair bit of work in HMNB Portsmouth, with the ‘dockers’ there, mo...

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

Looks like we will be losing Luca Fletcher from the academy this summer. Just won academy player of the year, has played regularly for England U16's scoring a number of goals. Can play anywhere across the front. Looks likely to join Man City. My son goes to school with him, and he is in a different...

Re: Relegation permutations

We ought to adapt that song the Wall fans sing but make the signature line ‘No one likes us, no one cares,’ as a sort of ironic wail into the wilderness that is being a Reading fan.

Re: Noel Hunt - Welcome to the hot seat

Noel's always struck me as an infectiously enthusiastic and positive guy, with a lot of humour and a relaxed but hard working attitude. In his playing days he was full of positive running and graft. He knew where to put himself about on the pitch. A real trier with a laugh and a joke. An infectious...

Re: CONFIMRED - Paul Ince sacked

Thanks to Paul Ince for the positive things he did, ie getting the wins to keep us up last season and putting together a squad who wanted to play for us (at least initially) this season. Without the six-point deduction he would in all probability still be the manager so he's unlucky in that respect ...

Re: Another 6 point, points deduction incoming

Or if we sold more hot dogs? Or if the stay away fans had not stayed away?

Bowen's statement makes it quite clear that not being able to shift players was the reason.

Re: Another 6 point, points deduction incoming

So if we could have shifted Ejaria, Puscas, Moore, even one of them maybe, we could have been compliant? Difficult not to draw that conclusion.

Re: Points Deduction AGAIN

My most regular attending would have been in the late 70s to early 80s. Don't remember the above with regular crowds below 3k. Lowest I remember was when we got relegated down to the old 4th division by Rotherham when it was around 3K. Always thought we were slightly above average attendance wise fo...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Hull City (h)

Personally I think PInce needs to be cut some slack. To say he’s on a hiding to nothing this season is an understatement and he’s sounding a bit like a stuck record at the moment in interviews for sure. Against that you weigh the mindset of a football supporter desperate for their team to do well an...

Where was Shane Long today? Probs would have won if he’d been playing.
