Did you leave early?

[Cureton's Volley]

I left after 25 minutes on Sunday and watched the rest of the game on TV in the hotel with a Guinness and a couple of rum and cokes.

Never heard rent boys called that before

Rhyming slang for bum-blokes apparently.

Hmm... In that case brings a whole new meaning to:

So stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

I was walking down the stairwell when Warnock got sent off so managed to see the goal in a better close up position as it happened right in front of me!

Didn't even go

I can guarantee I had a better night than if I'd attended.

Yep, i would've played GTA V

I've never celebrated a goal like that before

I understand that we don't see many











In the old greyhound stadium car park

Was partying on the stairs for the goal

Yea we saw ya!

If you were Y26 then you may have had your personal space invaded, sorry.

Was on the Y24 staircase, ended up in Y26 during the celebration though, was a good work out running through the stand

Who cares if people missed the goal? You don't pay to see the goal, you pay to see 90+ mins of professional football, of which goals sometimes play a part.

I just about made it back to see the goal but tbh I didn't really care - it was a 0-0 game all day long and an unlikely winner didn't exactly ignite the flames of passion.

True.
I'd never leave a game early. But in recent months in certain games I have had a real itching to just oxf*rd off home early.
Would I really have been that bothered if I'd left 15 minutes early against Yeovil and missed a penalty? I doubt it.

If it's a deserved late goal after a decent match then that's one thing. A crappy goal at the end of a snoozefest is not something I'm going to jump up and down celebrating for anymore. I just can't be arsed to pretend to be excited.

IMHO you two are pretty sad Reading / football fans. True football supporters know there will be ups and downs (sometimes prolonged downs if you are less fortunate recently than Reading fans) and that you make the most of any victories!! Particularly a last gasp winner - there cannot be much more exciting moments as a fan!!

Who cares that we did not deserve it - that is not the point!

Stayed til the bitter end but paid the price as i didn't get home to Wokkers til 11.15!

I know it annoys some folk, but it's like Wembley - getting away after a match can be dreadful and it's no wonder people are tempted to sneak off early to try and avoid the rush or get on the first bus.

When (if) they expand the stadium, they've got to sort the traffic out. A park n ride on the other side of J11 would be a good start.

OMG - how did you cope with getting home at that sort of hour?????

Maybe spare a thought for the true fans who don't quibble about getting home in the wee small hours of the morning from various northern trips
