Futcher, Carpenter and now Gray?

by Sutekh » 05 May 2016 10:23

Another player to be added to the list of those not favoured by the followers of Reading for various reasons?

http://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/footb ... n-11285059

Interestingly, any other players who have never played for us from down the years that fall into this category?

After all it's always good to have pantomime villains turning up for the opponents.

The only point Gray has really proved is that he's a kunt.

He wins the player of the year, and chooses a picture of himself being taunted after missing a penalty he dived to win, to celebrate it. What a helmet.

Gerard Lavin
Went to court on several charges relating to the ball-kicking incident during the Bristol City game back in August 1999 as it was in the public interest to prosecute, according PC Graham Benham (Reading FC Police Liaison Officer at the time).

IIRC Lavin booted the ball into the stand with the power of a swan to break the arm of a heroic Reading fan who dived across 5 rows of seats to prevent the ball striking an innocent mother and child. Fortunately the fan managed to avoid spilling a single drop of his pint, although his love life suffered a setback until he learn't to use his other hand.

No, not me. But it was a Nobber.

There was a really old abandoned version of the hobnob messageboard out there somewhere with the story posted on.

What an adorable little tart. Calling it now he'll score 1 goal for Burnley in the PL and it'll be a tap in, then he'll be loaned to Fulham.

Compounded by Leeds fans cheering when Jem was stretchered off, due to him being Turkish. Two of their fans being killed over in Istanbul refers. Unbelievable :roll:

Seem to recall Keith Scott stopped a riot by clearly demonstrating to the East Stand that the ref had seen it.

Craig Hignett

Scored the goal that knocked us out of the League Cup QF when ref pointed the wrong way for a free kick and our whole defence piled forward.

Then broke Paddy Kelly's leg in a shocking challenge that destroyed any chance of us staying up.
