greetings from donegal

by bent copper » 25 Sep 2006 14:52

Hows it going lads?Very well I expect from the looks of things.You boys were on live across here a couple of weeks ago(sheffield utd).Team played very well as you know and your supporters looked very prominent
behind that goal.Looked as if you took 4/5000 which is impressive.RTE were meant to show Everton/Wigan but the lecky went down at Goodison so we got you fellas.I dont know if you have ever heard of my local side Finn Harps(we narrowly lost 12-1 to Derby County in the Uefa cup in the seventies) but Doyle got two goals against us in his final appearance for Cork. Him and Long seem to love Reading if their interviews are anything to go by.Shorey and Sonko have really impressed me, think you can end up midtable if injuries allow.Hows young Hayes doing? I've never seen him play but heard good things about him from Irish youths.Boss is coming got to go, good luck.If you want any info from this side of water just ask.
ps Is it true David Brent is based on some Reading fan lol?

Greetings BC,

David Brent is a Reading fan in the program. This is because Ricky Gervais is from Reading.

Hope that's slightly more helpful than Spacey's reply.

Surely that's wrong. David Brent isn't a football fan at all. But Ricky Gervis is from Reading.......

Ok, sorry. The character claims to be Reading fan in one of the later episodes of The Office. Is that good enough for you, Spacey?

To be fair. David Brent is a lot more humerous and a lot less predicatable the Spacey.

Would a Reading fan switch to the " mighty" Oxford.Thought not.Anybody can have a lucky year so the muckers can enjoy the Uefa.I visited Elm Park around 94 , with my Burnley supporting boss.Match finished 0-0.Burnley had the widest footballer I have evr seen playing up front for
them.Think his name was Gayle?
Royal with Cheese do you ever visit the Smugglers creek for beer and grub?I have a cousin lives in Reading, think he only goes to the Rugby which doesnt interest me tbh.Is it hard to get tickets for the Royals.

Yes Bent, every time we go to the beach. Top Seafood chowder.Have a relative with a mobile home in Bundoran so get to spend a fair bit of time in the area in the summer. Was in there a couple of weeks ago enjoying a pint and watching the sun set over the bay. Very nice indeed.

Have yet to see the mighty Harps despite having my wedding reception not even a mile from their ground!

As for the ticketing situation, this year and the back end of last: Yes. Any other time in our 135 year histrory: No.

In fact the character admits to "knowing nothing about football, as I support Reading!" :evil: :evil: :evil:
