Re: Euro 2024 whelmgage

Bit more whelmed. Although the first 3 games being pretty onesided hasn't helped.

On the other hand the Germans romping home has.

Re: Germany or Scotland

Been a few tackles like that this season with only a yellow given. Good to see a ref actually giving a red card for it. PL refs take note. Both feet off the ground, clearly out of control, studs up, contact above the ankle Apart from that I can’t see why it was red :roll: It wasn’t studs up into th...

Re: How far will England go?

Because it's where so much of the betting in England is going Constantly surprises me that people think bookies odds are some sort of expert prediction, rather than an uneducated guess constantly changed by where the money goes mainly. I get that but it still amazes me there is so much money being ...

Re: The general Euro2024 chit chat thread

Slightly ironic that the first VAR controversy appears to involve Michael Oliver No idea who the VAR team are but the penalty to Croatia, and the consequent miss, is just a shambles Rodri brings down (we’ll come back to that in a minute) having made no attempt to play the ball. Not only was he the ...

Stranded
Sutekh And aren't Reading on a roll of 6 preseason friendlies with no wins and no draws?


Yep 6 defeats last preseason - we only scored in 1 game as well I believe.

The only way is up, baby!
Or maybe sideways...

Re: How far will England go?

If we win the group, probably QF.

If we are second, probably 1st knockout

Re: Who will win the Euros?

Sutekh Tournament draw/routes allowing then I reckon the last 4 will be:

France
Germany
Nederlands
England

Have to say I would not be surprised to see Germany back on top again despite their shortcomings.

And the Nederlands to be the zwarte pete horse.

Snowflake Royal They already should be.


Would that apply to anyone who's wished death on Dai?


Or sang "sell the club and f[u]ck off home"?

These things have no equivalence and I'm surprised you would try to draw it.

Lol it’s the irony that we all really know it’s not coming home each time but still play the song Yeah I kind of see the song as us poking fun at ourselves a bit while hoping one day it may be our turn. It's us very much acknowledging all our past failures and saying 'well, next time we can still d...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I wonder if Wycombe were ever going to buy our training ground or if their ex-owner saw it as a way to get a foot in the door to buy the rest of Reading FC on the cheap after selling on Wycombe? Maybe he was just impressed with the protests and thought, These fans are so passionate, I want a piece ...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

If he can stabilise the club and then pass it on to someone decent with deeper pockets like he's seemingly done with Wycombe then it's a positive. The only questions are what his methods will be to achieve that and what role the Saudis have. He's not exactly starting off on a positive footing with ...

Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

But, according to your own suggestion, they can spend what they like as long as it’s income, which is pretty much anything other than loans Sponsorship, at any level at all, is income For that matter, so are donations And I'd prevent that stupid loophole by closing it. :| So you’d ban sponsorship ?...
