MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (h)

[Snowflake Royal]

Was easier to shrug off this result thanks to Orient thrashing Huddersfield. Hope that is the last time I see Rushesha in a Reading shirt.

He's a weird one looks ok some games, less so others. Had some decent moments today even. But like the theme to our season, he's not a fullback.

[PremAddict]

Who would’ve thought we’d even be near the playoffs back in early December? I think most, including me, were tracking safety.

[Fox Talbot]

Today for me was all about a full house claiming back our Reading. Good flag there and hats off to STAR and SBDW for all the work put in over the past two seasons.

Didn’t think for a moment that Orient would screw up their chance. Play offs and promotion too early for our current squad. Next year is the year. Ends in a 6. Like 1926 1976 1986 2006.

BTW how many times have we conceded 4 in the last home game of the season in the last decade? Is it 4? Today, Swansea twice, Ipswich? Bad habit.

Nice to be able to relax over the summer now. URRZ.

League One is definitely there for the taking if we get contracts tied down and fill out the squad to improve the overall quality and I really trust Carey and the team to do a great job with the shackles finally off.

A poor performance, but a nice end to a good season with a lot of positivity on the way

Highlight - man standing up and leaving because we let in a 3rd, while he shouted 'bloody disgrace!' towards to pitch. I burst out laughing. Can't help but think his expectations for the season were somewhat off.

Lowlight - some teenagers properly beating up an old man on the stairs on the way out as they said he was a p**do.

oxf*rd hell, I hope people stepped in

would you?

You would- you’re an MMA hard man. Well one of your personas is.

Dunno, he might recognize me

Right result, Wrong score

I would like to think so, in those circumstances

My son has shown me a comment on X, which says, “I can’t believe an idiot “fan” in 1871 started on and punched Mikey Gow and got him chucked out of the stadium. All the man has done for the club during this Dai Yongge disaster and this is how he is thanked for it. Shame on you!”

This incident took place just behind me, so I can add a few details:

Just before KO there was a bit of a fuss because a male supporter was wearing an Everton shirt. He was told in no uncertain terms that this was not welcome. Mikey Gow (if it was him) was assaulted several times by several Reading fans over a period of about ten minutes. A few minutes into the game, more supporters turned on him, with one pointing out that this was one of the most important days in the club’s history, and wearing another club’s shirt was disrespectful. Two female supporters tried to explain that he worked for the EFL and that he had been instrumental in getting Dai banned as a director. Eventually, two brick shithouses disguised as stewards arrived and took him away. I heard him ask if the complaint (which I assume the stewards were responding to) was about his Everton shirt and they said it was.

I cannot help but wonder why an EFL official would be in Club 1871 in the first place, let alone stood right in the middle (a few rows in front of the drummer) wearing the shirt of another club. All very strange.

I'm starting to think 1871 should be knocked on the head or at least an age limit put in place tbh.

[East Grinstead Royal]

Age limit? The assaults were by people well into their 30s.

[leon]

And don’t get that sort of business happening in the upper west

[Orion1871]

Age limit? The assaults were by people well into their 30s.

And they should be dealt with appropriately too. Age limit was just one general suggestion as it seems to be that some, particularly the younger ones who rush over to the away fans when we score, use it as an excuse to act like they're extras in a hooligan film.

[East Grinstead Royal]

Do they still record C1871 on CCTV?

Drucks and boooze?

[windermereROYAL]

Couldn`t quite understand the Barnsley fans singing how shit must you be we`re winning away, yesterday was their 11th win on the road.
Dressing up as clowns was rather appropriate to be fair.

[East Grinstead Royal]

Turns out Mike Gow has nothing to do with the EFL, he is some kind of social media user with a special interest in Reading FC (aren’t we all?). So why was he wearing an Everton shirt?

Because he’s an Everton fan? Honestly the ******* stupid bellendry by stupid idiot minority of our fans goes really shines through here. So what if he was wearing a Everton shirt, since when were Everton ever an issue for Reading fans?? Should be more than happy to stand side by side with fans of any club that has taken the trouble to show an interest in Reading.

Snitch on the retards concerned and hope they grow up.
