Re: Likes and dislikes

England Quite like Spurs Scotland Like: Hearts. Still gutted for them losing the title on the last day in 85/86. Also been to Tynecastle and a brilliant old-school ground that sells the best pies I have had in a football stadium. Also like Raith Rovers Europe Likes: Olympique Marseilles, St Etienne ...

Re: Out of Contract 2022

I’m pleased to see that so many are now seeing and commenting on the futility of trying to ‘play out from the back ‘ when you don’t have the technique or ability to do it . I have been saying this regularly since I have been on this site . There will not be many of you that will have seen the Jack ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Swansea City (h)

Absolute limbs in the Arkers' seats when TMc equalised. I thought we got a lot closer to them in the second half and you could sense that we could, if not win, get something out of the game. With less than five minutes left, I told my daughter we would get one more chance. Never thought it would be ...

Re: Your worst 11 since supporting RFC?

Michael Meaker plus ten others. To even see him mentioned in the same sentence as Simon Osborn still makes my blood boil. At best, he was fu cking awful. Also, as mentioned earlier, I have never heard a crowd give as much stick to a player as the Elm Park crowd did to Malcolm Swain in the early 70s....

Re: If you could attend 1 game you missed...

Reading 6 Barnsley 2 in 69/70 season. Les Chappell's headed goal and the move preceding it was described as a thing of beauty. Also missed Reading 6 Barrow 3 from that season.

Re: Is this collectively, and singularly, the worst Reading team and management ever?

Terry the taxi at least had The decency to resign. I think it was the Oxford away game we were three nil down and we started to Sing Terry give us a wave, and he said something like that was the last straw they were taking the piss. Horrendous evening. In context, the most miserable performance I h...

I was there but the game Is kind of a blur now. Cant really remember much of of game but do remember the distinct change in atmosphere after Deano scored the penalty and the general pandemonium every time we scored. My most vivid memory of the actual game itself is the Plymouth defender getting sen...

I will give the ref a very generous benefit of doubt for the first, but under the exisitng handball laws a more blatatnt penalty I have never seen.
