Re: Rival Watch

Anyone seen Carlisle's solitary goal against Bolton? Referee had an absolute shocked. Ball goes out of play, 10 yards from half way line, attacker picks up a spare multi ball down towards corner flag, cross and scored. Just dont know how he allowed that to happen. Not good. Fortunately had no impact...

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Winston Biscuit Big Klopper will be free right when Man Utd may be looking for a new manager...... :?


He has said he wont manage another club in England - ever! However, is the England National team classed as a "club" :wink:

Re: Selles In

Has there ever been a manager at this club greeted with boos, chanted to be out, to then get that reception last night - cant recall one.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Dellor got a few articles coming out on Friday. However, he was clearly alluding to the fact that the dark days are over and takeover is moving with pace with a full sale complete early April.

Re: Refereeing

Here's as good a place as any to put it as I keep forgetting. Jnr II's team had a really good ref doing their match a couple of weeks ago. Made clear decisions and talked to the players throughout explaining why he had or hadn't given decisions and praised the kids for good play. Little things like...

Re: Refereeing

Old friend of mine was close to getting to be an official in the PL (he was in the 'select group') but didn't make it due to continual knee issues and had to give up. He was a big Man Utd fan but put Wimbledon down as his club as they were close to where he was from and knew it would be believed. S...

Re: Refereeing

I ran the line at a Reading FC match in a pre-season friendly and i also officiated many "reserve and Unders" matches, but i lived to close to ever be regularly appointed. I was never asked to disclose back then what team you support. However, if anything when i did Reading, you just swit...

Re: Refereeing

Wolves game on Tuesday night a linesman gets injured and can't carry on, 4th official takes over but they have no spare 4th official. Matey in the crowd says he will do it as he already does some coaching and refereeing for the local under 12s. Only thing he had to be shown was how to use digital b...

Playing on a 4G clearly helping getting games played compared to others but coincided with a terrible run of injuries. Very much ...

Re: Do you agree with todays pitch invasion and match abandonment?

I have had a banner made I hoping to get displayed at our Wolves game next Monday which is on TV. I don't know how to upload an image but it says Brighton Fans want Dia Yongge out Save Reading FC Fans United It's a small gesture but I hope that if they see fans of other clubs care, it may help. tha...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Dont know why, but i am just sensing a thawing, that statement in the sale was ever so slightly more definite and positive. I am feeling a chink of light. I don't trust a word the Club or Pang says. Dai is a mute but I wouldn’t trust him either. I'll only be positive when there is evidence of real ...

Re: Do you agree with todays pitch invasion and match abandonment?

I was on the fence, but having seen the reaction over the past couple of days you have to say it worked. So much coverage and more to come on various national podcasts I believe. Will it influence Dai, the EFL or government? I'm not optimistic, but we had to raise the agenda which has been achieved...

Re: Do you agree with todays pitch invasion and match abandonment?

For me its now really a case of do or die. By that i mean, Dai has to come out and make a statement, real commitment that he is selling the club, to confirm it is happening and the process is well underway. If there is silence this week, no statement along them lines, then i do really fear the worse...

With this latest announcement and looking at comments on Twitter etc I sense it will now get out of control and go very rogue. At that point it could get very embarrassing for the club and its fan ...
