Jason Roberts - we salute you!

Superb performance from Roberts today, smiling all the way through, fighting, linking up play.

Playing for 96 minutes, and all this after just coming back from injury!

If we go up, he's been the difference.

Most of us, including myself, had a few doubts when we signed him, but oh how I have been proved wrong.

Pure class. Absolutely fantastic signing.

I must admit I was surprised he lasted. Smilted throughout despite getting some fearful stick.

Fair play to the big lad.

FIRE!

We roll tonight [We're on tonight]
To the guitar bite
Yeah, yeah, oh

Stand up and be counted
For what you are about to receive
We are the dealers
We'll give you everything you need
Hail hail to the good times
'Cause rock has got the right of way
We ain't no legend, ain't no cause
We're just livin' for today

For those about to rock, we salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you

We rock at dawn on the front line
Like a bolt right out of the blue
The sky's alight with the guitar bite
Heads will roll and rock tonight

For those about to rock, we salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you
Yes we do
For those about to rock, we salute you

Oooh, salute!
Oooh, ooooh yeah

We're just a battery for hire with a guitar fire
Ready and aimed at you
Pick up your balls and load up your cannon
For a twenty-one gun salute

For those about to rock - fire
We salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you
Those about to rock - fire
We salute you
Fire
We salute you
We salute you
Come on, whooa
For those about to rock, we salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you

Shoot, shoot
Shoot, shoot

For those who give
For those who take
For those left high
And those on the make
(Ain't gonna get tired, won't take a break, we salute you.)

We salute you
We salute you
We salute you

Fire

What a wise old pro Roberts is.

Booked early on but kept his cool throughout despite the attentions of the brutish Faye. What a battle that was.

First game back from an injury, managed his running throughout very well. I think without the injuries to Karacan/Tabb he would have been subbed for Afobe after 70-75 mins. He wasn't afforded that luxury and was a great outlet right till the end.

Did he stop smiling once?

Smiled throughout and even took the time to wave at the west ham end when we were 4-2 up. He didn't have to do that, but he did. What a lovely chap!

Just looks like he's thoroughly enjoying playing footie regularly, and in a team of honest triers.

He was just beaming all the way through the game. So nice to see!

I have just come to the realisation that I have a man crush on JR.

Yes - they played together at Bristol Rovers. I think ANdy Gurney was there at the same time, but I might be a year or so out with that.

Thanks IR and EGR. In that case JR has lasted much better then Cureton.

Arnie_Pie A rather stupid minority of us, including myself, had a few doubts when we signed him, but oh how I have been proved wrong.

Pure class. Absolutely fantastic signing as the more sensible fans spotted from the outset.



Corrected for you.

He already goes down as one of my favourite Reading players! He already love this club so much too - him clapping Faye and Nolan for getting him booked was hilarious as Nolan kept on chirping away at him and he continued the round of applause til Nolan kindly fcuked off
