Re: Relegation Watch

So to go down we need all but one of the following to happen 1. Burton to win both their games 2. Barnsley to win 2 out of 3 games 3. Bolton not to lose again 4. Birmingham to finish the season better than us. If, of course, we beat the team that are 16 points clear of the playoffs and 13 points cl...

Re: The Non - League thread

https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/southern-football-league-premier-division/league-table Gosport won their third game of the season yesterday. They are now out of the relegation zone as only one side goes down. They beat Frome.......7-nil :shock: :D That has to go down as one of the worst results ...

Re: BFTG Wednesday (a)

As for the "fight, energy and commitment" you are kidding yourself. Sunderland showed more fight than us in 1 match than we have since Clement took over and they are severely more oxf*rd than us. Our 2 wins under Clement were both distinctly against the run of play. One took a moment of e...

Re: Relegation Watch

Royal_jimmy We badly need Forest to get something on Tuesday.

If Barnsley win then Burton are down


How?

A Barnsley win puts them on 41 points. Burton can still get 44.

Re: Safe standing progress

Whilst not being a direct reason for Hillsborough, it was indicative of how football supporters were regarded at the time, fenced in in unsafe areas, and treated as a problem. Pick up any fanzine in the aftermath of Hillsborough and they were all awash with stories of crumbling terraces, aggressive...

Re: BFTG Sunderland

Can’t see Joey or Edwards playing next season Swift/Bacuna/Kelly is prob our best combo but Bacuna’s stupidity has messed that up I’m not convinced Evans is any better than an ok fill in. He hasn’t really progressed and never seems to dominate a game Interesting to see Rinomhota was picked ahead of...

Re: The Secret Footballer .... Again

Agreed, think it would be very entertaining. Maybe with a forward by Glen Little? presumably not one from Graeme Murty though, assuming Dave is the secret footballer. Next stage after TSF "coming out" would be identifying the players and coaches etc he is referring to. Can imagine some wo...

Re: BFTG Sunderland

There is absolutely no chance that Bolton AND Birmingham will both get 4 points from their last 3 games AND Barnsley will get 5 points from their last 4. The players could go to the beach for the next 3 winnable games and we would be fine. Birmingham: Wolves (a), Sheff Utd (h), QPR (a), Fulham (h) ...

Re: BFTG Sunderland

Nope. He'll be gone in the summer clear out. Maybe, but that doesn't explain why he wasn't played on Saturday. Perhaps because he isn't very good? Not that that's an argument anyway after watching Edwards play. George Evans anyone? It's the same with most of our midfielders. They always seem best w...

Re: BFTG Sunderland

I absolutely bloody loved that last 10-15 minutes - brilliant entertainment! Breathless end to end stuff - that’s the most I’ve felt a Reading game in a long time. Gunter, the legend, put in a wonderful cross on his wrong foot to set up the equaliser. Barrow, our deserved player of the season, then...

Re: THE BETTING THREAD

Platypuss I love my Judas bets, but Reading 3's at home to Preston was nuts.

Regarding Judas bets, 28/1 at SkyBet for Reading to get relegated. Lose to Sunderland and we could be seriously in trouble.

Re: Safe standing progress

Well, apart from not having valid safety certificate and Hillborough was regarded as one of the best grounds in the country at the time. As said, there was absolutely nothing about the condition of Hillsborough that was in any way responsible for what happened. The problem was with access and exits...

Re: Safe standing progress

It's so sad that this is still being opposed. I mean after Hillsborough you can understand why emotion overrode logic. . . but now it's purely a political issue of MPs having to put up with Daily Mail scare stories for months on end. It wasn't really a question of emotion over logic. At the time, t...

Re: Arriving to games late

I once came to a game late. I missed a couple of minutes of football. I wrote to John Madejski to ask for a refund because they started the game without me, which is rude. There's a clip online somewhere featuring a groundhopper turning up at a game at Bracknell dead on 3 pm, only to find the refer...

Re: Opposition fans back from the game

Coppells Lost Coat However the self righteous fans and the rub in your face attitude they have makes them as very hard team to like. I cannot think of a worse fan to speak to than Fulhams before or after a game.

I think Cardiff are by far the worst for that.

Hoop Blah I'd expect a very decent crowd at that Bracknell game.

I'd expect a very wet crowd too, as it looks to have cover for about twelve people since rebuilding.

Re: Arriving to games late

My uncle always goes on about a game in 93-94 season, Swansea away, coach broke down in the Bristol area, arrived to the game late and walked into the stadium just as Hartenberger equalised. I was on that coach. They heard of long delays on the Severn Bridge (turned out to be about half an hour, ac...

Re: VAR

The penalty decision was correct, and only took as long as it did because the clown operating the TV couldn't lift it into position. Do you think it was a clear and obvious error though? I'm not sure it was a pen myself, partly because I'm biased of course, but to me the forward was already going d...
