Re: Bindon to be sold

This is my take on it. Take the money. As much as it means Dai won't be forced to sell, it means we can survive to the end of the season at least on the money with no points deduction. Rueben and the academy are just becoming a pure talent culturing machine. To the point, eventually young talent wil...

Big difference in league positions and form. Grow up.

In their defence, you say this pretty much every week. Or certainly seem to.

Probably the funniest goal we've ever conceded btw


Sure there must be worse ones than that (the Darlington double back in 1985/86 perhaps?)? Another thread poll needed maybe....

Rougier and Hunter vs Walsall.

This gets my vote.

Re: New owners' top 5 priorities

I'd argue virtually nothing in your post directly improves revenue. And between 1 and 2 fifths actually harms it. On this point, I'd like to argue to the contrary. I took my two step children to their first Reading game yesterday (age 6 and 9). They have never shown an interest to watch a match wit...

Re: New owners' top 5 priorities

I probably should wait until a takeover is confirmed, but hopefully Dai is on his way out. In terms of how I'd like to see incoming owners go about business, I think there are several priorities to focus on: 5) Back the women's team If the men have had it bad, the women's team has been ruined. Back...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Would love to see football run more like the NFL. Now I know there is only 32 teams so not as much competition for fans etc, but NFL franchises are rarely run at a loss. If we could get the same kind of branding and marketing awareness into football, especially in the catchment area that Reading ha...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

If it was the Wilf brothers then we could have won the owners jackpot. They’ve been transformational for the Vikings, who now have the best facilities, infrastructure and stadium in the NFL. Not going to get excited though until something confirmed. Would love to see football run more like the NFL....

Re: MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a)

Something else I've noticed. Certain people on here will just go against the majority seemingly for the sake of it. Like they just love being or want to be controversial. Even Derby fans I know said it was a shocking ref and they felt they had to apologise for the poor decisions. So if Reading fans ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a)

Bit pointless to blame the officials. We weren't good enough on the night and were beaten by a better team fighting for promotion. It was a free hit. Bit pointless to blame the reason we lost on the actual reason we lost? Is this guy for real? It all evens itself out over the course of a season. Th...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a)

I know we moan every match but I don't think I've ever been so angry about the officials. Close to being bent rather than just incompetent. I suspect offside for the first goal - happy to be proved wrong. Neither of Yiadom's yellows were valid. Handball when a yard away from a ball wellied at him a...

I know it's just a shit ref and not a conspiracy, but fcuk me I'm fuming. Why in this entire shit show are we only ever the ones to be held accountable? Parry will stay in his high paid job, the ref won't be relegated. We're the only ones getting screwed. Normally I give refs the benefit of the dou...

Made a weekend of it. So whoever recommended the Settle-Carlisle line gets a gold star, just bliss.

Would agree with that, also Andresson is very much ready and waiting and I'd wouldn't be too upset if the club moved him to be the no 1 next season while CBC was out doing his thing on loan somewhere. How has Andresson done? On loan at the bottom team is not a ringing endorsement. Hasn't he been in...

What I don't understand is, why does Selles, time after effing time keep bringing on Elliott to replace Mukairu, but when he drops him from the starting 11, he then uses Vickers? Makes no sense to me. I also thought the Cheltenham game was crying out for someone with close control and a good touch ...

YorkshireRoyal99 Wonder if Holmes picked up an injury or something against Cheltenham. Either that or he's off to Stoke.


I'm going to guess he got a knock. Or maybe hope it's that.


Or maybe Selles is just being a d*k.


I mean, this also has a high probability! :lol:
