Is there no escape from this idiocy?

[TheMaraudingDog]

To be fair, if I was trying to brown nose my way up the FSF I'd also turn my back on the mates that I normally go to the football with.

[Svlad Cjelli]

Yeah, yeah, yeah ... whatever you say. I've heard it all before, and you flatter yourself that I give a flying oxf*rd for your opinion.

[Royal Lady]

Ignore him Dirk - he's taking pot shots at anyone and everyone lately. Must be because his team let him down so badly on Saturday night.


Anyway, I have to agree that I wish they'd let the fans do their bit, the bloody loud adverts, including the one with Kamara, got on my nerves - but I suppose they HAVE to have them because it pays so well. Was more than miffed that, having to put up with our PA blokey anyway - they didn't even get to the chorus of our "song" and then that oxf*rd oxf*rd on the PA for Swansea took the piss about it being from Glee. Well, it wasn't you scumbag, it was the Journey version (Glee copied it) And I really didn't think it was in the spirit of things to be taking pot shots at us before the game. To give credit to our bloke, PA on the PA if you will, he concentrated solely on our squad - naming every one who has played a part this season. To cap it all, throughout the game I had my friend who lives in Swansea texting me "lol" every time one of their goals went in. They went quiet for a long while after the second half started though.

No complains about Sat night RL, we lost to the better team and I accepted that. Shame you can't chill a bit and do the same.

The main shame is that Reading fans didn't back each other up on Wembley Way in the same way as they are doing online.

I don't even know what your second line means. Probably something to do with fighting.

Reading also lost to a better team, however we were not as far behind them as MU are to Barca

You looked very dapper yesterday SC; how was it with the suits?

Disappointing. Realised early on that whilst hospitality is all very nice I'd have much rather been out with everyone where I could stand and go mad - got a few glares from some in front of me for swearing loudly at the ref numerous times.

In the first half had a group of 5 brain-dead dick-heads in their early 20s sat behind us, who spent the whole time chatting about the parties they'd been to and what computer games they play. Suspect they may have been Swansea reserve team players - few people in the world are as unpleasant as groups of footballers.

Went in for half-time drinks and had top endure a chatty woman on our table coming out with glib inanities "Oh, dear, they're not defending very well, are they?" when I was hardly in the mood to chat so superficially. Didn't this woman realise it was my team that was 3-0 down, and that it mattered to me? But as I was "on duty" had to play along ......

Moved seats in the second half and it was better, but still an unsatisfactory experience - the best bit of the day for me was the 45 minutes at the Green Man earlier in the day. So I've learnt a valuable lesson ......

Even the luncheon was a bit disappointing.

Only ever gone "Corporate" once and absolutely hated it. Not to be recommended if your team is involved.

Definitely agree - utterly miserable experience.

Have to say, i'm amazed you took this route for a play off final.

We all know what corporate is like and the likelyhood that you will be with people who know little or nothing about Reading or the game in general. That's OK for the odd league game before the business end of the season, but i would never take up the option for any important game let alone a play off final.

Even if committed before knowing we would be in it, I'd have made some excuses.

I wouldn't mind it really - you can still go out boozing with the fans before and after, but you're eating free prawn sandwiches and quaffing free booze instead of queuing for the cr@p Wembley serve up to the masses.

I bet no-one told him to sit down during the game either. Though if he started singing he probably got a few strange looks.

A bit harsh Schards; as I understand it, SC was there in a quasi-official capacity and getting out of it wasn't really an option. (We have all been in situations like that due to work, so SC and Mrs SC had my sympathies).

[Red]

Yeh poor svlad, forcing down those prawn sandwiches. Bet the champagne wasn't top quality either.

FFS.
