Ex players and managers you still hold a grudge over?

[glass half full]

Skippy.

Hopefully soon to be an ex-player by the amount of points he has cost us.

Do You See?

Two different threads..... You don't like him, do you?

[Thou Voice]

Nope.

I feel he is very over rated to the point of certain members on this board rushing off to get fresh tissues and socks every time they hear his name and our previous goal keeper that we kicked out was much better I'm afraid.

Do You See?

I dont care if he's dead, Tommy Burns single handedly took us 5 years backwards in 1 year. Scottish twat.

I have to say I agree - but he also signed Forster and Murty - 2 outstanding players for RFC.

Name me a manager that never made a good signing.

fair point but I'm not talking about one good signing - those two were instrumental to our success over a long period of time

[Nick Shorey my Lord!]

Burns is the one I've never forgiven.

No idea why I didn't list him. Absolutely agree. Terry the taxi was clueless, but Burns took it to a whole new level.

No reserve team.
The exiled 5 (or 6, can't remember).
The shower of shite on THAT deadline day.
Sideways passing.

3 pages and no mention of Robert "thecunt" Fleck.

I can barely bring myself to type the man's name without wanting to vomit. Class A Scumcunt

Fleck was one of the Burns 7 transfer deadline signings IIRC. None were any good either - possibly McIntyre OK but then we paid around £500K for him.

It makes you realise how well Pardew did to turn it all around so quickly.

I agree with a lot of the comments about McGhee & Pardew - it's too long ago now to hold a grudge and I've always thought the main reason McGhee got the stick for so long was because he'd rise to the bait in press conferences before and after the game and a lot of fans I know simply found it amusing singing that song knowing how he'd respond after the game.

Who and why?

- McGhee for the dishonest manner in which he left in 94.

- Pardew for how he went but at the same time I could understand to a point as he had done all he could with us under the constraints of John Madejski's wallet.

- Nicky Shorey because he just gave up trying when he decided he was bigger than the club and wanted to move on, unlike Steve Sidwell who gave everything right up until his last apperance for us.

Ipswich away was first game for Tommy Burns magnificent seven. What a shambles. Fleck had a beer gut !

[It Is What It Is]

Not really a grudge as such, more of a grievance, Tyson was the first player i ever met as a kid and signed my shirt, took pictures etc etc and i worshiped him whilst he was at rfc! Then he left and i think i remember crying LOL But i still buy him to play on my reading team on fifa every year
