I find this Reading FC video quite embarassing:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdXjp5Ifvpg

Shows 5 fans with their phones out videoing penalty, then celebrating, one with his shirt off.

Royal Ginger I enjoyed the way that the big screen had had enough of the god-awful pre-match video we have this year and just gave up half way through.

The content is fine, but the music is awful and the video editing choices just baffle me. What the hell's that bit when it fast forwards all about? Got bored of editing? Too much content? Last year's was infinitely better.



And how long has it switched to advertising promotional goods and clothing part way through the game?!

Nothing per se...just dislike the song + hearing it EVERY home game. Tis all.

Pedantic - I know..... but Baba O'Riley (not O'Reilly) named after Meher Baba and Terrence Riley - and still better than Everday I'm Shuffling FFS.

madreadingfan Just intrigued which 3 would come top, pretty pointless thread. I would of had an option of 'All of above' but I thought that would be near the 90% mark.


madreadingfan, you're the one who sent me an abusive PM a few years back. I know this because I was cleaning up my inbox earlier.

So anyway Hi, hope you're still angry and well it's gr8 to catch up.

Other: how an historic win generates bitter argument amongst number crunchers to make their 'point' about how if we'd listened to them all along we'd be winning by 6 goal markings all along, instead of congratulating the manager who despite shocking injuries and lack of support from above managed to achieve a record breaking total demolition of a team.

The only thing worse than that is the owners' constant apologists for so many years. Always trying to defend, always being proven wrong, yet continuing their blatant stupidity. Pathetic and embarrassing in the extreme.

If those who were wrong admitted it and said we played the Reading way rather than the slow and ponderous Adkins way with its emphasis on pointless possession then there wouldn't be a problem.

Why did we play

By far the most embarrassing thing about Reading FC is this forum.

It highlights what a bunch of clueless, soft, middle class morons we have as fans who know nothing about football.

Its also pretty embarrassing how Jason Roberts played for us for half a season, and believes that he has left a "legacy" at our club.

His opinion of us as a small club with no history is no doubt shared across the country.

Moan, moan, moan. Bet you weren't moaning when Jason Roberts effectively pushed us towards promotion.
