Skylineshadesrwrf There is no man more passionate about Reading Football Club out on that pitch than Graeme Murty. Having said that, you could put me on the pitch and I'd be passionate about RFC, but I can't play football. Murts is consistently off the pace and sadly appears no longer up to Premiership football. I hate saying it because in recent years there is nobody who has contributed more to the cause. However, it's time for him to step down.
Agreed. I said to the missus after the game that I think Murts may well decide to retire at the end of the season. It'll be a shame as he's been a good player for us through bad times and good, and certainly makes a better captain that Adie Williams ever did, but the reality of football doesn't deal in sentimentality.
Murts did a good job on Giggs and then Ronaldo at Old Trafford, so don't write him off just yet. He also had to work twice as hard Saturday, trying to cover Doobs. Shorey is off the pace as well, IMO. He's not been his glittering best all season. He'll come through it no doubt though.
Murty may not be the quickest or biggest, but we missed him last season when he was out.
I don't think he's ready for the knackers yard just yet.
