JedMaxwell Find me somewhere in Reading (or any) town centre where you could build a totally brand new 20k+ seater stadium.

Hound Actually stood watching the Spurs game before the match on the big screen in the fanzone bit and thought how nice it was - fans from both teams mixing, sitting around having a beer and just milling about

YorkshireRoyal99 Yeah daft saying that there are too many roads and roundabouts when newer stadiums are commonly built in such a way that they are made more accessible for fans, rather than being bang in town centre's. The ground is about a mile and a half off the M4 and is on a big, open industrial estate with accessible parking. I've visited plenty of worse grounds.

paultheroyal Not one comment about atmosphere, similar with Blackburn - that tells me its improving massively.

windermereROYAL You thick plank, if Afobi hadn`t touched it it wouldn`t have been on target.
Afoebe was offside if he had the last touch (he probably did) but if he didn’t touch it the goal should have stood. The second penalty shout for handball in the second half was a penalty, the defender definitely moved his shoulder up to the ball (maybe to protect himself but it’s still a penalty) Not digging him out but the pass Danny Mac made to the Reading player near the end of the match was atrocious

I haven’t seen the penalty incident they’re referencing but if it’s his shoulder then they really need to read the laws of the game

It was his upper arm, it was straight at him and there's literally nowhere else his arm could have been. That's never a pen in a million years.
The other pen shouts were better. Not strong, but better.

Their first pen shout was bullshit, he fell over before he'd even been pulled.

True, but if you lay on hands you run the risk... as I said, not strong. Better than the handball.
The second one was the best shout, but even that would have been pretty soft.

Think Millwall hurt their chances of getting a penalty by insisting too much on minor fouls. Ref seemed in the mindset that he was being played.
Can't say any of them were particularly strong either though you're right with the second.
Honestly after that game we had 4 penalties (3 clear) turned down 2 seasons ago I have no sympathy for any team left in me.
