Norfolk Royal I agree with McShane, it's been blown out of all proportion. What's the world coming to If the captain can't run 20 yards and headbut one of his own players.

Why the hell is McDermott apologising for reacting to Dellor's ridiculous witch hunt? Shame it wasn't Wally Downes or Kevin Dillon being interviewed - they would have probably decked the pompous public school twat! :twisted: Yeah. How very dare he recall two of the most significant events in the ga...

+1 "Ask about the game, Tim....". He did, repeatedly, just not the questions McDermott wanted to answer. Sorry Brian, you don't get to choose the post match questions. That's what the programme notes are for. +1 Nowt wrong with Dellors interview Tim did go a bit mental at the end of the g...

Your still missing the point....... I do not deny any of his past achievements but (as everyone keeps reminding us) we cant live in the past and nothing I have seen so far convinces me that he can replicate any past achievements. I keep being reminded of how good he used to be, BUT..... I am intere...

Shame they had a beef up

Both decent players and probably near the top end for what Reading can afford/attract

Who from the youth would be play, John Smith?

If the contract with Watford is an option to buy at his value minus 2.5m, we should get to keep him and Watford owe us 2m.

Sandman wins thread

The state he was in there was no way he should have been speaking to McDermott. :| Wtf, Ian - seriously.....in terms of his line of questioning how would you say Dellor behaved unreasonably or unprofessionally in that interview? In fact McD is the only one who comes across as being 'in a state'. +1...

No Fixed Abode Not Clarkes fault BM can't get the best out of those he brought in to replace them.

Credit to Clarke for getting the best out of Blackman when other managers couldn't.

Agreed.

Didn't see anyone say otherwise, though?

Dellor spot on last night

And hilarious.

Tim dellor is right though.   Vyrda has been an utter shambles and shouldn’t be playing. Missing opportunities week in week out like he has doesn’t just hurt the scoreline or damage his confidence, it affects the entire team, their performance on the day, and their confidence going forwards.   He ju...

To busy being "baffled" and "frightened" to think straight, obvs

Tbf the player has had plenty of support and opportunity and has still not managed to pull himself together. A footballer who can't find form isn't particularly talented in my book.

Fine but where is he? Why has our new signing failed to get on the pitch with any regularity? Why do we keep signing players who can't play?

"Could do with some positive PR, John"
"Ok. Find me the smallest poorly fan and and a carpenter who charges by the foot."

But like Clarke - everyone said Blackman was on a downward spiral and it was right to get rid cos ya know - people don't turn their form around....... I have no idea where Blackman was "blown" but the fact remains that SC benefitted from the only player this season who has had a hot strea...

He is on my hanging list because he clearly learns nothing from previous mistakes in this division, despite being sacked by 2 sides that needed a different approach to winning games, not the same f-----g dross every week and the fingers crossed that it will work more often than not. The problem is ...

The problem with this team has been the same since McD left. The same problem that neither Adkins or Clarke were able to fix with more time than McD. The lack of consistency is just proving impossible to plan for. A winning team playing well one minute is righlty fielded the next but falls apart lik...
