They were probably managing John Clarke rather than an injury. My MOM was John Ryan. Ryan had a good game - looked a threat going forward, great close ball control, as well as dealing with everything defensively. I can see why he was on the bench with the first team at the end of the season. The Ti...

2-1 54 mins 629 attendance - looks far more than that. F-T 2-1 Decent win. Maslow were improved in the second half. Seems to be no injuries tonight, which is important ahead of Monday.

So fine the club and punish NH immediately but give the agent 6 months grace, that sounds fair. Be interesting to challenge the agent’s deal through the courts. If it’s an illegal term it has the potential to be voided Problem is, though, is it against FA rules or contrary to law ? That poses a que...

So when Bowen said there wasn't a sell on clause he wasn't telling the truth?..... I'm shocked... I’m reading the FA decision to mean the agent got 10% of what the club received for Olise when we sold him to Palace (or would’ve done if the clause was active) - I can’t see any reference to a sell on...

Very comfortable thus far.

Nigel Howe has been fined £5,000 and issued an immediate six-month suspension from involvement with player contract negotiations and transfer related activity, and a further six-month suspension from all football related activity to commence upon the expiry of the first suspension. I wonder the sus...

RFCMod Anyone else going tonight ?

I'll be there too.

Could be a decent crowd.

I am expecting another composite team put out by Noel tonight with a mix of U 18 and U 21’s. Players who could start include Collins in goal and maybe Beacroft and Barough. I agree with this. I can't imagine a full strength U21 side makes any sense with us still playing in the league play-offs - I'...

Reading v Sunderland on Monday 20th May KO 7pm at SCL stadium Surprised it's on the Monday. Can't imagine the crowd will be as big as the previous two play-off games. I would think the club might have requested it as the team are playing tomorrow night And don't expect it to be Stamford Bridge if C...

RG30 Apologies if this has been mentioned before but who would host the final were we to progress?

I believe we'll be away at the winners of the other semi (Tottenham or Chelsea).

Johnson Clarke-Harris going on a free, lots of Twitter fans saying we should go for it. Am I the only one who thinks "hell no"? He's a big name who if he doesn't go to the Championship, will go to the highest bidder and who may well smash our wage structure - should we really have anyone ...

Probably makes us favourites to make the final. Which is frankly crazy. Entirely mad end to a mad season. Incredible given Elliot, Savage, Ehibhatiomhan, Bindon, and Craig are all young enough to be in the U21 squad on age. You can add Dorsett to that list as well along with Vickers and Abbey from ...

Seen a few articles blowing smoke up Spurs' arse because their U21s topped the league. I know I'm biased but surely the real story is the cash strapped League 1 team who are now in the semis and are offering a genuine path to 1st team football. From an outside perspective on Spurs, they seem to be ...

Royals and Racers F-T Spurs 3 Liverpool 3 - gone into extra time.
After ET 3-3 gone to pens.

Tottenham through on penalties. If we reach the final, it'll mean a trip to London (if I've understood the format correctly).

How much do we look into the success of the U21s this season? Will any of them be making the step-up to 1st team football? It seems on the face of it to be quite impressive for a League 1 U21 team to be doing so well. I'm not sure how much of a correlation there is between success at youth level an...

Fair play to the ref for booking that Forest player (#10) who was telling him to ‘oxf*rd off’. Didn’t think he was going to do it.

Clyde1998 Saturday 11 May at 14:00 - Reading vs Nottingham Forest - Madejski Stadium

Same situation as last time: free entry; free parking; Lower West; etc.

Everyone's reminder for today.
