Most ecstatic moment as a Reading fan

[Forever Reading]

[quote="Nick Shorey my Lord!"][quote="strap"]Uploading the 4-2 win v Wolves just after McGoo left us now. Sadly I don't have the 2-1 win with Archie scoring in the 93rd and 96th mins.

Don Goodman got his revenge tho

[Compo's Hat]

Incidentally, is it just me, or does one half of a rather famous HNA husband and wife duo appear at 9:24??

ALOL!!! The dungon master has gone upmarket a bit.

[Hugo Boss]

Mac-tastic.

Murty scoring that penalty against QPR in 2006 was quite a memorable moment and it just capped off that season.....

The roar every time Gilksey got the ball against Luton at Wembley.

I don't recall reading this one...

Reading 3-1 Chelsea
Chelsea 3-2 Reading

League Cup tie 87/88. Gilkes with 2 and Martin Hicks spanked in a free kick from about 4 miles out. The second leg was a bit special too what with rain of biblical proportions, a Gordon Durie hat-trick for the cheats and Colin Gordon with a brace that put us through 5-4 on agg.

Definitiely got the first leg on tape, and may well have the second. Will copy to DVD once I've done the Coventry Simod Cup s-f.

Mate of mine bought the 2nd leg video from Chelsea. The most appalling commentary ever. The best vid I had was of the 3-3 draw away at Sheffield Utd. 3-0 down and 3 goals in about 7 minutes. We were going absolutely mental! 1986-87.

Do you have any clips of the famous long throw move from the Branfoot era? You now how it goes. Martin Hicks lumbers up from the back and Steve Richardson throws it onto his head for a flick on. Or... how about footage of Steve Rich out-jumping Ian Ormandroyd?

[Fluff]

Cheers for all those vids, pity nobodys got the 2-1 win against Wolves. I and the whole Southbank went radio rental after archie's late winner.

Real football, played by real men, on real pitches, in real stadia, watched by real fans!

Enjoy.

Depends on what you mean by real stadia.

We don't exactly play subbuteo at the Madejski Stadium, do we?

Beautiful mate. Thank you for posting this. I had forgotten what a fantastic night that was.

I bloody miss Elm Park.

[Archie's penalty]

Love the way that Gilksey walked up so gingerly to the spot. Looked well scared!

[Hugo Boss]

Awesome stuff - Keep up the good work Strap.

Spacey, if ever there was a thread for you not to post inane shite on, this is it.

Contribute sensibly like everyone else seems to manage, or f*ck off.

[Thaumagurist*]

You need to chill out.

[Hugo Boss]

I would if you stopped disturbing good threads with pointless remarks!!

You've got me at it now!!

I did enjoy watching that so thanks again Strap. It was a marvellous night and the Coventry fans were very sporting at the end of the game.
Probably the most enjoyable Reading game I have been to.

Not so much 'ecstatic', more memorable and enjoyable,
2001, we'd missed out on automatic... last game of the season, we didn't care, we knew it was play-offs for us... however, our opposition did because they had to win to be in the play-offs and to be our semi-final contenders
Reading 3 - 3 Bournemouth.
The atmosphere was absolutely amazing, and the fat belly contests between our sets of fans (the Bournemouth fan winning), the quality of football, Defoe making an entrance into football and looking like Premiership standard already.

Most ecstatic moment for me has to be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF5SMIzkbgk.
Having been in year 5 at school when I attended this, I was under the 'wow influence' and it felt like Reading were impossible to beat!
