Forest Gump I wasn't able to go to the first leg and can't therefore comment directly but it sounded like certain Burnley players took the sportsmanship thing a bit too far. I am mainly referring to the way that they earned the penalty (Paterson I believe) and the way that they got Bikey sent off (Blake?)
I think that Reading are genuinely a fair team and play the game in it's proper spirit. We don't applaud cheats and, if what I heard about these two incidents is true, I hope that the players involved feel the disapproval of the crowd in tomorrow's second leg.
OK, perhaps Bikey is a bit naive and has paid the price for that but it doesn't feel great to know that we've been conned. So let's make Burnley know how we feel and really get behind our team.
I have been (to my mind justifiably) critical of the management over recent weeks but the only thing we must show now is unity and give it one last big push. Then whatever happens we will know we gave it our all.
Come on Reading. Make a name for yourselves.
? Clear penalty, Clear red card. Wasn't at the game but easier to see from the TV coverage anyway.
