Extended-Phenotype Fcuk off ''can't argue''
Palace were out of ideas and on the backfoot until the ref gleefully leapt at his chance to gift them a penalty that would never have been given vice versa.
Bullshit result. They had nothing and needed a poor decision to make their mark.
We were looking like the better team and could have nicked it had the ref not shit himself that the premier league club could be knocked out by nobody Reading.
Woeful stuff.

Winchester Royal I thought we looked sloppy at times and off the pace. We needed big performances all round, and only got them from a handful of players. It wasn't a matter of Palace performing particularly well, but we didn't really do much to try to win the game. Soft penalty, the inevitable second to rub salt in the wounds, and another season to largely forget.
It's occasions like this we go to football for, but I'm not going to lose sleep over this result. Disappointing, but all rather predictable.

CountryRoyal It's been a long time since I've been that angry at the football.
First thing is first it was a fair result, make no mistake Palace deserved to win. Al-Habsi made so many incredible saves and they had a tonne of chances and opportunities which should have seen the game dead and buried at half time.
HOWEVER... The way we went out was so unjust. The softest, most bullshit penalty that has ever been given, even more so considering the circumstances. I don't like to blame referees but Mike Dean never had a foothold in the game, was shocking throughout.
That was the most disappointing thing, the other was the fact that beyond Al-Habsi we were pretty oxf*rd shit and deserved to lose. Palace were the best draw to get, were there for the taking and represented our best chance of getting to Wembley, and everyone knew it. It was nervy from us and we were, on many occasions "almost there", unfortunately we fluffed our lines and weren't good enough.
That was probably our most defensive set up and we were carved open time and time again. Ever since the 30th minute (probably less) we were crying out for 2 up top. So much wasted possession in the opposition third because there was no support.
I truly fcuking hate Palace now. For all the "palace fans are great" bollocks they were shit. Sang once all game before they scored and quite frankly they don't deserve it. I truly fcuking hope they go down the shitty pcunty faggoty "ultra" wvnkers.
Absolutey gutted tonight, truly gutted purely because of how we lost.
Oh well, onto next season.

Agree with this. Apart from John's golden chance, we offered very little. AL Habsi was excellent and John, McShane and HRK above average but apart from that, nothing to remark upon. Obita was poor, Cooper and Hector naive. This is a very average Reading team. They have done well to reach the QFs and earn the club some cash but the quality of the football is poor and fans are starting to vote with their feet. The club is in decline and I can't see it improving much under McDermott. Sorry, Brian.
