"...a breath of fresh air" - Alan Hansen.

And he's damned right too.

No diving, no cheating, no feigning injury, no dissent, no reckless tackles, no complaints about refereeing decisions after the game, no whinging about injustice - just superb sportsmanship honesty and integrity at all times.

I wish someone in the media / authority would make that observation and make the comparisons with every other club in The Premiership, because Reading FC are the model that every other club should be MADE to aspire to!

Honesty and Integrity will probably be Coppells legacy when he finally leaves us and that will be the Reading Way as he put it himself a few weeks back.

When future bosses take us over I don't think after witnessing Coppells genius, fans will ever accept excuses about poor refereeing decisions and hard luck costing us games.

Honesty, respect, integrity and hopefully the loyalty that goes with that will be Coppells enduring legacy for Reading Football Club.

Completely right it's the fans job to moan about ref's,moan about bad luck, blame the opposition when we play badly, critisise our players and feel hard done by if every pundit in the country dosn't think we are world beaters. :wink:

I thought that they meant last season as well. I was making that point to my mates while watching it as they said it.

...and the funny thing is, Coppell would probably laugh off any suggestion of a legacy.

Doyle had a reasonable dive in the North West corner yesterday.


When I say reasonable I mean bloody awful.

I was saying the same thing yesterday. After watching other teams I'm always glad to be supporting Reading! I appreciate the fact that Reading players don't lower themselves (well not that I've seen :wink: ) to pulling those sort of stunts.

Yeah, and almost no dissent, (Bikey after being sent off, Harper after Hunt's penalty not given) but where's the in harm taking the odd liberty with the truth if it helps to make a point eh?

Exceptions to prove the rule, I'd say.

I'm sure Royal Rother didn't feel this way about Reading a couple of years ago.

To be fair to Doyle, his diving has lessened this season compared to last IMHO.

It was truly a pathetic effort.

Don't bother Doyley, that's one thing you're no good at.
