Looks like a pot and kettle case to me.

The only team with a worse score than Bolton for red and yellow cards is Blackburn.

I'm just back from Bolton now, whole weekend with bolton fans was fantastic, None had sour grapes like that!

1) Diouf dived loads and he spits. but he was obviously in a bad way going off, shocking but after a long journey with alcohol welll URZ

2) Game plan, contain them, fight them back, bring on the flair :S at the end!
Its how they beat Arsenal, so cant complain!

3) Doyle no way offside, clear penalty. Their team just gave up after 75mins, and we never gave up.

We've had a bad run while playing well recently, yet won two scrappy ones. Europe anyone?!

On a separate but, quite literally, related issue could someone explain what all this flag business is that eveyone keeps referring to? Several people have mentioned the Bolton fans and some flag routine and said how pathetic it was but no-one's actually explained what they were doing. Thanks.

I thought we played well for the majority of the game and Bolton didn't really create anything that you'd call a real chance, other than the goal. But, Bolton are supposed to beat the teams that come up, so their fans will always be looking for excuses.

On a separate note, I thought Hahnemann was very good on Saturday and he's come through a difficult patch of lack of form well. He's still got a bit of work to do, but he's getting back to his best IMHO.

On the camera thread Winchester Royal A pretty harmless flag... Wait until later, when it is used to self humiliate Bolton..

Bolton Fans get woken up by the sound of the Ball hitting the back of the net..

And the flags are out again, as James Brown's I Feel Good blares out over the Tannoys... Thank oxf*rd we don't do that..



In addition to the goal music these guys tear up and down the touchline waving their flags.

Bolton are alongside Blackburn in having no right to complain about physical challenges. Hunty got booked for that nudge on Jaaskalinen and then Oster was cattled on the halfway line and there was no booking for the Bolton player, so all in all I thought Webb was pretty fair. Doyler was never offside, there was no mention of offside on MOTD. Yet again an irrational fan has a pop at Hunt. :roll: I did not jeer Diouf when he left the field, but with his behaviour on the pitch he will never get respect from opposing supporters. As for saying our fans are on par with Bolton fans who sing Munich songs :?

His distribution was pretty good I'd say. But then Bolton gave us lots of space back there.

I thought he made at least 3 really good saves, but if Bolton didn;t create any chances I must be wrong !

I thought he played pretty well, but then I think he's been fine this season anyway !

Just got back from the game. Absolutely fuming with quite a few things:

1) I can accept being beaten by a better team (ie Man Utd took us apart) but Reading were plainly and simply AWFUL. Certainly worse than Watfords display at the Reebok to put it in perspective and for the vast majority of the game they were simply trying to contain our attacks and hope for a draw.

2) The referee (Howard Webb) and linesmen. - Awful performance throughout and particularly bad in the first half. Missed foul after foul on our players (esp Davies) and gifted Reading with free kicks that were nothing. The worst decisions however

- Nolan was poleaxed just before the half time break with an absolutely ATROCIOUS challenge (in many people's books a straight red but certainly a yellow). What did he do? He blew for half time and led the players off the pitch with hardly a backward glance at Nolan who still needed urgent medical attention and had to be helped off the pitch!

- 2nd Goal - Clearly (and I do mean CLEARLY, no debate about it, you could have seen it from one of Pluto's moons clearly) OFFSIDE.

- The first Reading goal. A penalty - I'm unsure at this stage but it looked dubious.

3) Reading's approach - Can't contain them so foul them off the park. 3 injuries in the first half - 3 substitutions. The team that started (Diouf really though) would have helped convert our many chances. The Diouf injury may not have been intended at first glance but on slow motion replays the player flicks his studs up back into the chasing Diouf.

4) Readings FANS: Disgraceful and disgusting. In the same league as the BWFC fans who sing about the Munich disaster. Now Diouf isn't anyone's favourite player and I was the first person to criticise his spitting and cheating BUT he clearly isn't playacting when he required a stretcher to take him off the pitch. The Reading fans who abused him goaded him as he was taken off - shame on you. Where is your basic sense of humanity?

They say what goes around, comes around. Lets hope it does with Reading because you should be embarrassed with the conduct of your fans, your team and finally with the fact that you even got ONE point out of that game

Having been to the game, I can agree 100% with your comments.

For all their plaudits this season, I thought that certain Reading players and the majority of their supporters came across today as nasty and bitter.

The more that I see of Stephen Hunt, the more i'm inclined to believe that he intentionally left his knee in when challenging Petr Cech on the opening day. Firstly, he needlessly shoulder charged Nicky Hunt off the pitch when the ball had already gone out for a throw. Then he had a go at Dioufy, in the hope of getting a reaction. When Michalik came onto the pitch, he tried the same thing again. He kept tugging at Lubo's shirt whilst waiting for a free kick to be taken. Lubo merely swatted him away, like a fly. Then he ran straight into Jussi and finally earned himself a booking.

As for their supporters????? Well imho to barrack someone as they are being stretchered off is bang out of order. Dioufy may not be everyone's favourite player, but to stand up and yell abuse as he is being carried off is an absolute disgrace.

I don't give a flying fcuk what you think we kicked you ars and im loving it ha bloody ha

Just got away with being a hooli-fan because he was in a full kit and on the pitch!

That was me and Bob The Builder with the 'I Feel Good' songs on the way out - I tried to get them going after every goal but was drowned out be a fans rendition of Tom Hark!

Nothing to do with Bolton's perspective but a couple of (almost) interesting stats after Saturday:

Only Arsenal have come back and won more games than us from a losing position.

That is only Bolton's second loss this season from a winning position.
