Surely better than my stop-start afternoon of working in Woolies.

As long as 3 points comes tumbling into the Reading bag at the final whistle I couldn't care less what he does or how he does it!

[PieEater]

Pretty poor in the first half, but got better in the second. Harpers booking, considering the conditions, was a poor decision.

I thought the lino gave the penalty which was fortunate as he wouldn't have seen Long push Fotheringham in the back. The ref had to have seen the push but decided not to overrule the lino. So from that point of view we were lucky.
