Jason Roberts has left Reading?

[Royal With Cheese]

I think our fans just hate uppity blacks, the racist fools. I, for one, think we should have more outspoken black players in our team. Maybe get Lita back.

Marlon King is one of those Blacks that likes to put it about a bit. Perhaps we can sign him.

A lot of our fans are just closet racists - remember how John Salako and Shaun Goater got stick from certain sections of the crowds way beyond what they deserved.

JR was an unwanted player in a disfuntional team when we bought him - he was also getting on. He helped in our winning season but then went injured and no-one has seen him since. He is now 30 months older, has had a hip operation/replacement and his scoring figures for the last four years are worse than Churches. Why do people think he will suddenly turn into Superman next season? How many other players are there who will do far better for us given the chance? Keeping Roberts is like admitting we have no chance next season. He is costly and not part of the future.,

No one has seen Roberts post-op, he might still be the same player. Give the guy a chance, he's our only physical striker who can actually hold it up.

I agree to a certain point. And that point is, at least Roberts has a bit of common sense and doesn't lack in the intelligence department, where as Lita has the intellect of a gnat.

30 months on ... how do you work that one out? Back to primary school to do your SATs tomorrow?

this thread has gone beyond satire, you massive twats. JR helped us get promoted (actually he was the catalyst) did some radio, got injured and did some stuff about racism. And that's it. Get a fucking grip, you're sounding like Chelsea fans.

Good player and a nice guy, in every way. If you don't oxf*rd like his personality, no one gives a shit.

Well said.

He's the black Steve Claridge.

I agree completely. I remember one poster once providing some statistics about the race of our penalty takers and the team board went into melt down for a couple of days. Just shows that even in cosmopolitan Reading racism can still rear its ugly head very easily, very quickly.

I for one didn't even notice that Roberts was black until it was pointed out to me by a fellow fan.

Need to go to Specsavers.......

You're not a referee are you?

I wanted to find an appropriate photo for the bit in bold. Safe search fail.
