I watched the Crawley v Shrewsbury game on Saturday and, whilst it would be a stretch to say they were unlucky, the game certainly turned after the red card. Crawley showed plenty of spirit and even managed to go 2-1 up with ten men. Eventually, Shrewsbury dominated the last quarter and deservedly w...

Wasn't sure before the game but didn't have a problem if people wanted to do it. As the protest continued, I felt the point had been made and the game should resume. Having thought about it overnight, I now believe it was absolutely the right thing to do. Furthermore, I think there should be protest...

I seem to remember us winning at Cardiff a few years ago with a last minute Kermorgant goal. Harris caught my eye that day and gave us a lot of trouble wide on their right. I'm surprised he doesn't seem to have progressed since then but, given our current plight, would have thought he is well worth ...

Agree with everything already mentioned but what about something a little more obscure ? Does anybody remember Wolves away August 1994 ? Our first game back in the second tier and we were brilliant but somehow contrived to lose 1-0. In spite of the scoreline, Reading fans were singing "What's i...

Thank you so much for posting this, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the whole match. A few thoughts.... What fantastic entertainment compared to the sterile rubbish we have endured since Stam. Didn't we have a cracking side. On days like those, Elm Park was a brilliant place to be, even if you were an...

Sorry Del, the tie has already been claimed by a fellow Nobber. I apologise for not having posted this earlier.

Clearing out some old stuff and came across an old RFC tie with the Elm tree club badge on. I realise nobody wears ties these days but thought somebody might like it to add to a memorabilia collection perhaps. No charge, just put a pound or two in a charity box.

Very impressed with Josh Barrett. Comfortable on the ball with a good first touch, excellent use of possession and lots of effort in closing down. All this topped off with a very neat goal, reminiscent of a Jimmy Quinn finish. This is good to see after a wasted season or two. Perhaps this season cou...

Thought McShane played ok apart from the penalties. He made a crucial last ditch tackle in the first half when a goal seemed probable and contributed well over the 90 mins. Given that, it's hard to fathom what possessed him to make such a rash challenge for the first pen. The second pen was unclear ...

Haven't enjoyed a match so much in ages. For 15 minutes at the start of the second half, we were under serious pressure as Burton launched continuous balls into our box. We conceded the pen and I fully expected a feeble capitulation but the team showed fantastic determination and fully deserved the ...

I have supported Reading since 1967 and have seen some wonderful players turn out for us. For different reasons I would give honourable mentions to Martin Hicks, Neil Webb, Trevor Senior, Simon Osborne, Dariusz Wdowczyk, Jimmy Quinn and of course Gylfi. They were all terrific players, but for sheer ...

I have a mate, "Bowman's Quiver" in hospitality today. He's obviously too busy with his prawn sandwiches to keep me posted.

Our MOM was Alex Pearce . He had a terrific match . For all those who weren't there , I'm sorry to disappoint you , but Fedders wasn't far behind . His handling was superb in atrocious conditions , he stood up to the physical approach of McLean and Fryatt and he made excellent saves when called upon...

That match was so mind-numbingly awful , it was almost brilliant . I will never forget it anyway .
