Re: MATCHWATCH : Newport County (h)

So as I understand things Reading will get an away game in the round of 32, this means they’ll get a trip to one of the following 7 southern section group winning clubs (excluding Cheltenham)… Walsall Wycombe Charlton Peterborough Colchester Burton Exeter The other southern section qualifiers are C...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stockport County (a)

It seems a bit of a trend under Selles but we have lots of good performances and then a truly horrific away performance every now and again. Tonight they looked like a team of strangers thrown together to play a Sunday afternoon match at short notice. I think only Pereira arguably had a good game de...

Re: CONFRIMED: Latest rumours Confrimed as Unconfrimed

So he fails to pay his legal advisors then decides to switch to new legal advisors, you'd think the new legal advisors would ask questions of his ability to pay before accepting him given his track record. Reminds me of a certain US Presidential candidate. Now now don't be rude about Kamala Harris.

Re: CONFRIMED: Takeover collapsed; Back to square one

Personally, I am hoping that there are no on-field protests. I could understand why, but I just don't think it's right at this present moment. I agree with you about Sky and it having very little impact just because it's televised. It's like those who are saying to bring loads of banners and flags ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bolton Wanderers (a)

Every side we have played so far this season is likely to finish in the top half. Assuming we finish the season at all it will be defined by how we perform against the likes of Burton and Shrewsbury and not the top teams.

Re: Selles out

If Selles goes then no one can possibly blame him. If he stays he won’t be staying for the club, but for sake of the young squad who will undoubtedly struggle if he leaves. Whatever he decides, I am sure he will be offered plenty of jobs in the future. If he stays it will be seen as a selfless act c...

Re: CONFRIMED: Takeover collapsed; Back to square one

I have posted a number of times that I thought the end game is the destruction of the club - whether by design or stupidity it is hard to say. But the summary of what Nigel Howe said is that there are no new buyers at the table and he will have no involvement in the sale process after 4 October - as...

Re: its time NOW for boycott and to support your local non league club

Harrison Delbridge support your local team, they need the money and support more then our soulless team

there are plenty of teams about that can see the benefit of this and actually care about the fans


Reading FC will be a non league club soon so we can carry on supporting them.

Re: UnConfimred new owners of Raeding Footbal Club

All these delays, teasing the fans, being seen around the town, posting tweets etc....... Now swap Rob Couhig for William Storey and there's no way we'd be as optimistic about the deal finally going through. Ignoring the PR number he's doing on us (and doing well, to be fair), he does have a positi...

Re: Bowen sacked

I think it is a shame as Bowen did a good job, but he was the cause of his own downfall with the illegal betting and in my view the club had no choice but to let him go. No doubt the legal issues over the sacking will be settled quickly if the new owners ever take over.

Re: TAKEOVER ALL BUT CONFIMRED

I still fully expect Dai to crash the deal at the last second and then irrevocably close the club just to spite us all. That would be very expensive for Dai. He might be an utter spaz, but he isn't going to throw money away like that. There were murmurings last week the hold up may be stadium relat...

Sounds like Reece Evans has signed. No idea re who Maddox McMillan is - as you say maybe a triallist? But has anyone any idea who Kai Garratt and Kai Source are? The only Kai Garratt I can find plays/played for Dover. We do need to beef up the U21 with so many games this season and so assume these a...

Re: Reading FC Womens World

I just wanted to say that for me the effective closure of the women's part of the club is the lowest point of the Dai reign so far. What a disgrace of an owner he has been. I would say Dai hang your head in shame, but he clearly has no pride, no shame, no sense and no humanity. I await the destructi...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I agree with the posts above. Supporting Reading FC right now feels like looking after a loved relative who is slowly wasting away over many months with a horrible cancer. Dai is that cancer and I still wonder in the end if he would rather destroy the club than sell it. Things look bleak. I can see ...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Cannot say this news comes as a surprise. It is hard to feel any confidence at this point that the club has a future and one does wonder if the owner would rather the club Dai than be sold. He has a track record after all.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

So if the BBC are right it looks like we are back to square one.

My gut feeling all along is that the Mr Dai will pull out of the deal at the last minute.

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Gutted for the lads. A very exciting game of end to end but not helped by some very dodgy refereeing. Did not think it was a foul at the end that led to the goal. No idea what Borgnis’s first yellow was for although second was justified. But the boys did us proud. Typical Reading - glorious in defeat.

That was an entertaining evening. The Reading lads dominated the first half. Marlow came back in the second half but we saw it out. I agree with the post above that Ryan looked very good - but most of the team had a good night. The evening was also hilarious as I was standing near the Marlow coachin...
