Ward needs to stop training kicking with McCarthy.

[ZacNaloen]

Top football being played both sides on the floor here, finishing not great but conditions don't look great for hitting a sweet strike

I know it's youth football and I want to support them all, but I can't help not warming to Fosu.

[ZacNaloen]

He's not my favourite

Readings youth physio is very nice btw

Agreed. He seems a bit greedy, and Sheckleton's got him in his pocket at the moment.

Edit: Sheckleford

Hoping for extra time and lots of cramp. Can you imagine teenagers getting muscles massaged by her though... bound to be some embarrassing moments.

Their number 7 looks about 12.

I think these Reading boys look much more comfortable on the ball and passing it about than a number of the first team.

[Royal Ginger]

That was immense from Watson.

It's easier trying to pick who couldn't eventually make it to the first team than who could with this lot, there's so many contenders.

+1 - this is so much better to watch!
But maybe that's because I have slightly lower expectations... or maybe because I saw them all in the hotel this afternoon, so they all seem like friends

[Royal Ginger]

Bugger. All day long. Can't argue with that.

[ZacNaloen]

oxf*rd.

Keeper had it as well.

[urz13]

Fuck off Ref.

[Ian Royal]

Balls. Hyam off.

Thought it might be harsh but replay nailed on. Serves us right for giving Roberts space around the edge of the box and the pass out was a bit risky too.

[@sonkimarsson]

Good to see these younger refs being as crap as their seniors.....
